•The first one is full anime style (there’s not much personality in this one, I just draw what I saw)
And you can see how much I didn’t know how to use ibis paint haha lol
•The second one is not that much anime style (or at least I tried to)
And I venture a little bit more with new brushes and differents techniques on procreate . Still, I know I have a looong way to go. There’s a lot to learn yet
okay but the progress though! the first one is jan 1st 2021 the second one is jan 1st 2022!
sometimes i think about how similar celes from ffvi and sephiroth from ffvii are. both of them were genetically engineered people with the intent of their creation to help take over the world.
but celes' "father" was kind, and she was younger, had more hope, and took the chance to escape from the gestahlian empire. she rebelled, was locked up, and immediately was rescued by locke. she also knew from her birth that she was different, created with this ability to manipulate magic that had faded from the human race.
sephiroth's father on the other hand was not so kind. keeping him in the lab, putting him on the frontlines of a war as a teen, and building up his cautionary, defensive personality. encouraging him to self-isolate, encouraging him to be. alone. when shit hit the fan, sephiroth's hope of a loving mother, a happy family, an escape? it was gone. to learn he wasn't exactly human, while his friends he'd been told not to make died left and right? it's easy to see why they took different turns.
but still- celes' escape from her past tells me that in another timeline, sephiroth could've made it out too.
And he knows a single ninjujutsu 😫
Rock Lee vs. Gaara went SO hard and was so memorable, it unintentionally tricked an entire generation into thinking Naruto's underlying theme was that effort and hard work ultimately triumph over natural talent. Naruto was, in fact, not about that. It was the opposite, in fact.
Love me some villains.

Kirby lore is the video game equivalent of Adventure Time
sorry but i've been thinking about this forever
And let’s not forget scale inconsistencies!
-what a plagio, is isn’t?-
I’ve heard people tell tale of a theory about there being another species and/or planet related to the gems that would be masculine in physical appearance and well, this that theory.

saw this floating around and thought i’d do brightheart! maybe i’ll do more, maybe i won’t.
I don’t know it just hit me that they both have scars on their eyes and that smile though also😬😁
They both lost a parent/parents as a Baby.
They both have a scar tying them to the bad guy/guys.
They’re both raised by people who knew their mothers.
They’re both fighting for stuff their parents started.
They both have to fix everyone else’s problems.
They both face off against the bad guy and save everyone.
They both nearly die saving their friends.
Everyone compares them to their mothers.
Wade Watts, from the book Ready Player One by Ernest Cline and also the movie based on the book, is a super nerd. And to prove it I'll make the bold claim that his knowledge on James Halliday is almost or maybe even equal to MatPat's knowledge of FNAF. Just throwing it out there.
I love this so much! Everything time my wife cucks me she compares my little clitty to her man's coxk
The different religions are the variations of shippers
I don't know if this makes sense to anyone else, but in my head, it makes a lot of sense. Sorry it's so long, and for the bad english, it's not my first, or second, language
I'M NOT SAYING THAT ALL PEOPLE WHO PRACTISE THESE RELIGIONS ARE LIKE THIS OR SHIP THESE SHIPS, IT'S JUST FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE
Christianity (both catolicism and orthodoxy) - the people who ship the straight canon ship of the series. On every type of platform, you can find at least one person who roots for them and actively supports and defends it. Most of these types of people are very offended when someone doesn't ship it and starts to A. Start defending its honore stating that since it's canon, it's the only valid ship. Or B. Threaten the person who doesn't ship it. Anyone who has something bad to say about this ship is deemed a hater and is ostracized from the community. Because the ship has a lot of shippers, some interpret the ship in other ways, which creates tension inside the community, so generally, there are two sides of the ship, with different fancanons and interpretations.
Muslimness- people who ship the "problematic" ship. The ship isn't actually problematic and can be very wholesome if you look at the actual story, but someone at some point did something problematic with these characters or was just a very vocal shipper who did something bad (like that comic of Childe and Ganyu) and now every person who even barely supports it is deemed problematical and a bad person. Receive unreserved hate and are attacked a lot for something they didn't do.
Buddhism ( I don't know a lot about buddhism, so I'm sorry if I get it wrong)- people who ship the side pairing. They are just along for the ride, and even though they don't get as much screen time and attention from the fan base, as the main ship. They just enjoy it as it is, creat fanart and other things in peace, and generally don't get in a lot of debates even when people attack them.
Paganism - the multi-shippers. They don't understand the need for ship wars and drama surrounding one ship becoming canon while another doesn't. In both scenarios, a ship they like gets attention, so a win-win situation. Some do have OTPs and are even happier when they become canon or get attention, but aren't super sad if they don't. Over all they just enjoy creating fan art , but sometimes someone will start attacking them for "betraying" one ship for another and accusing them of all sorts of things, like liking pro-ships or other problematic ships. In some cases, it may be true, but generally, it's total bullsh*t.
Atheists - people who don't ship. They either don't get the need for romance or just don't see the appeal in it. They may get attacked for this, but they honestly couldn't care less for ships. Some are very rude and say stuff to people who do support ships, canon or not, that it's pointless and disgusting to ship fictional characters and a lot of other mean stuff.
Old religions/small religions - people who ship the rare pairs. Not a lot of content, but they appreciate every piece. Some ships are more popular than others, of course, but are generally pretty obscure with a lot of fanon interpretations to make up for the lack of it in canon. Some of the more popular ships will try to erase any content the ship does have or twist it to make it problematic, platonic, or centred around their ship.
Not sure for the other religions or types of shippers, if you have any thoughts or corrections please say them without insults.
This post came by when I was explaining what being a pagan means to a frien, and I used being a multi-shipper as a comparison, and it spiralled from there.
Yes, I am pagan, but I was raised as an orthodoxy christian, so I'm sorry if I got anything wrong for the other religions.

Please tell me you guys see it too
Isn't it weird how at times we always wishing things were different. Like having a different job, being in a relationship with someone or living somewhere different. Ye when we look back there was once a time when we prayed to have what we have today. 🤲
At times we always wishing how nice it would be to have what that other person has. Not that it's a bad thing. But we never take the time to think what took them to get there or have that. We never take the time to think about about the pain or struggle that the other person had to endure to reach that outcome. What hard times they faced to finally get to the top of that mountain.🗻⛰️
So if you're going through a rough terrain right now, embrace that struggle because there's a lesson there. And eventually we'll reach the outcome we want.💯🤍
I made this watercolor painting a while back of model Ashley Graham, after seeing a video of her doing an aerial yogo workout.
I decide to combine my painting with the footage that inspired it, again under the grounds of fair use.
I decide to make montage of what I feel are some of my best drawings/paintings; Alongside the photos and people that inspired them I hope y'all enjoy this it was a lot fun to make.
This a shorter cut of a video I posted on DeviantArt, don't worry the Content and Quality are unaffected by these minor changes.
I recently decided to do another watercolor painting, but I had trouble picking the subject. Luckily I found a picture of Ashley Graham doing Aerial Yoga and decided to do a Painting based on it. I call it Someone Whose Not Boring, I hope I didn't bore anyone talking about it.
I recently did a watercolor painting based on this picture of contortionist Julia Gunthel aka Zlata. I had lot of fun making piece especially figuring how to make work, I hope did Good Job this was a real challenge that I think brought out the best in me.
I did this watercolor panting of British Singer Kate Bush, I'm not sure which song she's Performing here I think it's Wow. I hope did a good job, this was a very fun piece to work on.
I did this drawing based on this photo of Betty White as a tribute to memory.
I did this drawing recently of famed Basketball Player Charles Barkley. I based on a photo of him taken during his time with the Phoenix Suns.
Here's a drawing I did of Comedian and Actress Miranda Hart and here it is side-by-side with its reference photo.

"In the race between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump, the polls are tight and their policy plans are underwhelming. But there is another way to compare their ability to do the job that gets far too little attention: Both candidates have a record to run on — and the data tell their own story."
Even though it's past election day, it's still a good thing to inform people what has been happening. Even as I talked with some folks the day after, I realized pretty quickly that there's a lot of people who don't know what's going on in the country when it comes to the topics that people like to blow up about. Also, DO NOT FORGET that the president is the figurehead, it's all the people they employ that do all the work. If you voted at all, you were voting for a staff of people, not just one person.
I just want to highlight a few graphs.
Btwn year 2-3 of Trump, it was already increasing, that's right before COVID became a thing. Trump's approach to life is emboldening violence.
Again, Trump didn't do anything spectacular besides being on par with most other presidencies, until the administration truly failed. Biden's administration blew the past 3 presidents out of the water. And yet people are still crying over the economy.
Speaking of economy, the article highlights there were proposals to try to reign in price gouging. Some folks might be familiar with the concept of rent control and the like. It was disappointing that these things were not enabled. But for conservatives, it's something they don't want to hear because they don't want to let the government manage business but cry out why the government is not managing business.
I'm just going to copy/paste what the article has for this one:
Presidents love to take credit for a booming market and disavow a sagging one. The truth is they have little to do with either.
Still, some policies are better for asset prices than others, even if it’s difficult to quantify how much. Trump wants to extend the 2017 tax cuts and lower corporate taxes, which could boost spending and corporate earnings, pushing stocks higher. On the flipside, his proposed tariffs could hurt companies, particularly if US multinationals face retaliatory levies.
Harris wants to raise corporate taxes and steer that money to workers and families as tax credits and support for first-time homebuyers. Companies would presumably be worse off from higher taxes, although putting money in consumers’ pockets is generally good for business. The risk for fixed income is clearer: Both Harris and Trump’s proposals are likely to result in higher deficits and debt, which could stoke inflation and force the Fed to raise rates, giving bonds a whacking.
Most likely, though, what drives markets will have little to do with these plans.
The day after the election, of course I heard from the mouths that don't care that the stock was booming. That's because stocks are speculation and really just operate off perception. The people who are in dire need of funds don't have stocks. Those are the people who will get no benefit from increased stocks and yet they see it and think it's great when it only serves a few.
Don't forget, taxes fund the functioning of government. It's absolutely needed. Do you want taxes to come from you or from big corporations?
Honestly, no administration is perfect. But after this abysmal election, I'm not going to shut up about being informed of what's really going on. The truth of how this country is performing and making sure that people are asking the right questions. I already have some questions out of this report, such as what's going on at the state level? The federal level can only do so much. As an example, taxes at the state and city levels can help mitigate and perform better for their own community.
And if we work to better our own communities, maybe that can help funnel up.
