Currently Rewatching Treasure Planet For The Nth Time, Animation And Storytelling Aren't What They Used

Currently rewatching Treasure Planet for the nth time, animation and storytelling aren't what they used to be man

Not to mention the character design??? The antagonist isn't a bad person, the protagonist doesn't miraculously have the answer to everything, the most 'evil' character isn't the main villain, and the smart character isn't some cowardly introvert who can't stick up for himself. There is no romantic love-interest for the main character, the movie instead focuses 100% on Jim's development and the actual plot (asides from the barely mentioned Amelia x Dr. Doppler).

I doubt there will ever be a movie that ranks quite as high in my mind. Even if it's largely because of nostalgia, this will always be my favourite movie

When your gender identity is fluid so you can't plan any outfits in advance, because nine times out of ten they'll end up making you feel dysphoric when the time to wear them actually arrives <<<<<

After quite a bit of time spent contemplating what to include in my first post on this app, I've decided to keep it simple and give you a close-up of the painting I've used as my profile picture. :]

That, and pictures of two very real cats whom I have the pleasure of cuddling on a daily basis! Their names are Asta and Bosse, respectively. ^-^

I'm very aware that they both look like fluffy, adorable super villains scheming to take over the world, but I'm also very aware that nothing else would be quite as fitting for these two little antagonists.

I'm very new to this app, and I'll be learning as I go, so please try to be patient with me as I try to figure out all of the features. :']

English is also not my first language, so please forgive me if I use a word or phrase in the wrong context.

With all of that said, welcome to my very not-so-planned-out art journey! :]

I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day,

Yours truly, Stickbug. 🪲

I said I would make art, and by god did I do just that (for once)

Here's a little armadillo friend!! I don't know why my mind was immediately set on armadillos when I was looking for something to sketch, but I do know better than to question - t h e m i n d - *insert ominous music*

Now that I think about it, it's probably because we just got armadillos in minecraft lmao

I think he turned out pretty cute! The paws were really fun to put on paper, lots of big, swoopy lines which I love :]

I'm trying to build up some more confidence when it comes to inking, so I forced myself to ignore my anxiety and actually picked up my fineliner for once, instead of just leaving it as a pencil sketch lol

It was really satisfying to see the scales start to pop out from the page, and adding all of the final details in white gel will always be the best part of any art-session (especially all the little hairs on this dude's shell, that was so gratifying) 😌👌

I'll definetly be turning to armadillos more often in the future when I'm looking for sketch material, these funky little guys have so many fun textures, and their cuteness-levels are through the roof TT^TT<3

With all that said, I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day! ^-^

Ughhhhhhh I've been meaning to make art for the longest time now, but adhd has a gun to my head and is forcing me to scroll pinterest lest I want to die an early and gruesome death

I keep seeing things and going "huh, that's neat! I should draw that!", which is always followed by me never drawing that
