What game have you spent the most hours on, and how many hours is it?

I don't really like video games that much, so out of the 4 games I've played Minecraft is the one I've played the most, don't know how many hours though since I didn't have anything to count them for me when I was eleven.

Board games wise I love Articulate I play that loads with my friends

And I've been known to run a great game of capture the flag in the scout group I volunteer at.

Shark girl ! That's it that's the whole thing

I basically instigated a meet cute the other day.

It was raining really heavy and I was waiting for the bus and there was only one guy at the bus stop with no umbrella or hood, trying to put his laptop in his bag

So obviously I was like we should share the umbrella I'm holding, and it was really funny because we did not fit (it was a small umbrella.) He told me he was going to be late for his first shift at a new job and we laughed about it.

Don't even know his name

I think my problem is my bed is too comfy every time I lie down I get consumed

Does anyone actually come back to view the results at the end of a poll? I just accept whatever stats it gives me when I answer and move on.

I live life as if no-one can see that I answered yes in a "can I physically visit your house" poll

I coloured in my sketches !! Now they're super delicious

How do you handle negative feedback or criticism of your art, especially when you're trying to gain visibility?

This is a very good question !

Dealing with criticism can be really tough sometimes, but I believe it's important to draw the line between what is actual criticism and what is a negative comment (source : my college professors)

Art doesn't exist in a vacuume and we all need to receive criticism from others to grow as artists but ironically you have to be critical of your critics and that requires being able to take a step back from your emotional attachment to your art and assess it objectively. Could I do this better ? Are the proportions off? Does this drawing accurately convey what I want it too?

These are important things to ask yourself, and admit to yourself if the answer sometimes is no. Not everything you make is going to be good the first few times and not everything you do is going to be good. Its healthy to admit when things look a bit shit sometimes. You need to make hundreds of shit drawings before you make one one good one it's better to get the bad ones out of your system quickly.

In terms of negativity that's where criticising your critics comes in, you don't have to be an expert to give criticism online not everyone telling you to change things has your best interest at heart and if they don't then what they say is irrelevant to your art journey.

A really smart person once told me "you have to believe in your art because no one is going to do it for you" and that means when you make something worth being proud of you take the time to feel proud of it even if it doesn't meet other people's standards.

My Kanaeda sketches from college today

He's just such a cutie patooty

If he's doing some shady biz, I'm in

I think Fullmetal Alchemist, Trigun and Vinland Saga collectively made me a much better person then I would have been otherwise

What are they feeding these blond men

welcome to the valley, as you can see there is plenty of room.. and literally nothing else, ENJOY.

Here's another sketch of an old person from Pinterest

Sometimes to pay attention better in class I just draw old people from Pinterest, they just have so much character

A sketch of the death of milo of croton housed in the national gallery of ireland

Wild story this, all my lecturers were sick today so I just fucked off to go draw in the gallery today

I'm really glad I got back into using tumblr again, its just been a really pleasant experience and I owe it to all the people who have been so welcoming. Hey if you're reading this thats you, Thank you

@unhonestlymirror I don't know what in God's green Earth would bring you to put Melvin in as a character but whatever it is, I'm scared of it

Woah would you look at that they found something in the woods

You ever find yourself having to pull an eyelash from your eye with tweezers and wonder why was I designed this way

I saw a post about the pagan tradition of the wild men of different countries and I just loved their costumes so much I had to draw some, this one is specifically referencing one from England but I don't know much about the history of them and would love is someone could tell me more !

Another folk costume! I've been sourcing all the reference from the nat geo article about the wild men of Europe I really recommend it

I already posted a Vash so I thought I'd make a Wolfwood to match they're kind of a package deal

I felt the need to make this, it also makes me laugh so hard this is my "Anime characters in Red" alignment chart

I also am aware that I'm revealing what era of anime I was around for which for some reason feels more intimate than me just telling you all my secrets

I remember watching Trigun for the first time in 15 parts per episode capulto sub like 8 years ago when I first got into anime and it being just such an amazing experience and I'm so glad there's been a fandom resurgence its just so good to see him again
