the marks for motion look really cool! and phalluses are dandy! i once tried to draw a cute little undersea castle and it ended up looking like a collection of adult toys, sometimes these things just happen 😅
gorgeous! i love the colour palette in this
yess, it can be quite a challenge to overcome things like expectations & perfectionist tendencies and embrace play & experimentation, as well as extend compassion to ourselves as tired little creatures trying to get by in a tough world. i still have struggles with that but am very much about giving things a try just because they seem interesting, and not putting any expectations other than “might be fun” on it. it’s ok to just have a chill time & enjoy the journey! ofc it’s also ok to have more ambitious/professional goals but i feel like it doesn’t get said enough that it’s actually fine to be a hobbyist and even to be bad at hobbies (as long as safety is in order anyway).
immense cosign, especially to anyone out there feeling like “ohh but i am too old, i have no talent for anything, i am not creative, i don’t know how to art”. tell those thoughts to fuck all the way off, every day if need be (i have to do this!), and try some stuff out! it doesn’t have to take a lot of time or money, it doesn’t have to be “marketable”, you don’t even have to tell anyone else about it if you really don’t want to. you deserve to give yourself this gift (yes, even if your brain says otherwise!)
thank you, i tried to be quite patient with it, and although slower it definitely helped a lot 😅
i like the pustules, just a tasteful amount 😌
thank you! i feel like i don’t have a good grasp on composition most of the time but i was quite happy with how this went :)
thanks so much, i enjoy your hatching a lot so it is special to hear this from another inky person :)

3·2 months agoseconding this, i use a solo azerothcore build and it’s been great. mine is scaled rather than using playerbots but i experimented with a bot one and it was pretty neat to be able to group up with them.

1·2 months agoBlood Tea and Red String (2006) - cool & weird dialogue-free stop motion animation, i liked it a lot even if some of the symbolism maybe went over my head.
28 Years Later Part II: The Bone Temple (2026) - i enjoyed this more than Years Part 1, pleasantly surprised by how much fun it ended up being.
so a quiet week on the movie front for me, but a good one 😌

1·2 months agoDoor Lock (2018) - didn’t know going in that this was a sort of rework of a (better) movie that i had already seen. it was watchable for my late nite trash purposes but i probably would not recommend it.
Within the Pines (2024) - cool premise & nicely shot & great sound design but not enough happening for the length.
The Hitch-Hiker (1953) - finally getting around to this one and it was quite a banger, the only one from this week that i actually do recommend.
Redux Redux (2025) - started out very strong but lost me once the pace slowed down & people started talking more. but i’m always happy to give some lo-fi scifi a go.



thanks! yes, well, they are supposed to be (i didnt do a good job), i included it in the alt text description
there’s no deeper meaning i don’t think, i just had idea and drew it. well. there probably is meaning but i don’t know what it is either so don’t worry about it too much 😎
