"But it's the size of a car."

"Yeah, he's pretty big."

"And it's red. And I'm pretty sure I saw it breathing fire."

I’ve had the actual week from Hell, and my way to combat Sad Feels is to throw myself into something creative. Watching Jacksepticeye’s videos never fails to put a smile on my face, so I decided to try putting together a silly lil’ video of all the Egos — having a dance off, naturally.

It’s a shame Marvin and Jackieboy-Man are so far away, but I’m pleased with how this came out!

Of course, it was immediately reported on TikTok thanks to the tiny amount of fake blood used in Anti’s section. Cheers for that.

They drew Marvin this time and I can’t believe how amazing it is! I am so incredibly happy with it.

In all my art classes, I was never taught HOW to use the various tools of art.

Like yes, form, and shape and space and color theory and figure drawing is important, but so is KNOWING what different tools do.

I’m 29 and I JUST learned this past month that India Ink is fucking waterproof when it dries. Why is this important? Because I can line something in India Ink and then go over it with watercolors. And that has CHANGED the ENTIRE way I art and the ease I can create with.

-Yo painters, use pencil if u must underdraw beneath an oil painting, the lead is archival but ideally you should be doing underdrawings in a muted earth tones (siennas, umbers, ochres or earth green) with some titanium white added to it. (The white nearly matches the canvas and earth tones naturally blend with all colors on top unless u do super thin glaze washes).

-Trying to make a natural looking warm black? Don’t use black straight from tube, Mix alizarin crimson and viridan. add raw umber to adjust for light depth.

-If your into mixed media ALWAYS use acrylic first and oil on top (the gesso on primed canvas is acrylic based and oil sits on top of it great). NEVER put acrylic paint on top of oil, the acrylic will crackle/decompose and fall apart/off the canvas.

-India ink is permanent and if your using ink from a jar it should say it’s permanence. professional art grade pens usually have there permanace listed either on the pen or the companies website.

-Red cinnabar is poisonous, DO NOT EAT IT, no matter how much like fruit loops it smells.

-Translucent and transparent are NOT the same. translucent is *shiny* and a cloudier color, ideal for mixing usually ordor making vibrant colors like for eyes, cars, etc. Transparent is matte and usually a 50% transparency from an opaque color.

-ALWAYS DO A TEST SWATCH OF ANY NEW MATERIAL.

-any paint made with “true alizarin crimson” “red lake” and “chrome yellow” pigment is a fugitive paint. Fugitive means the pigment fades dramatically and disappears over time, (usually 5 to 15 years) lots of van goghs paintings have this problem. be very careful with these pigments. Alizarin crimson especially smells extremely sweet and like fruit loops or fruit loops, don’t eat it.

-gauche is a mix of watercolor and ink, proceed with caution as this material can be an asshole.

-Watercolor can be made darker/thicker by letting it dry slightly in cake form or in liquid form and can be dry brushed if u get the timing down.

-Paint liquid rubber or lay down thin pieces of painters tape on edges in watercolor paintings to Prevent bleeding between lines if u need super sharp edges.

-always tape down the entire paper edges when u paint with watercolor to a board to prevent the paper from curling as it dries.

-add salt directly into wet watercolor paintings to absorb pigment and make shit look like space.

-Always paint in well ventilated areas and avoid getting lots of paint on your hands. lots of paint is made with heavy metals and can cause cancer.

-natural materials aren’t always safe, especially

-Ones u collect yourself, do your research before grinding, burning, sanding these things especially indoors.

-natural sable is good for watercolor if you can afford it, i have two smaller brushes i shelled out for to try it, and while i probably didn’t treat the finer point one right, the other one is a miracle i’ve had for nearly 20 years.

Hiyo!

So I’ve seen some people talk about a lack of art and no t̕͝hing but memes in the tag lately so I thought we could do something fun to change that. I think a big reason why there’s less art is because there’s not a lot to draw inspiration from lately since Summer is the lull season for gaming, s̨̨o let’s create our own inspiration!

You guys have done this sort of thin҉͡ g before with the egos where you pick a different one to draw each week but it sort of fizzled out a little after a couple of weeks. I l̡͢͜oved that i̴dea th̸̨ough and it was amazing seeing all the characters in everyone’s art styles. I genuinely love a̢̢̛͜͏ rt work so let’s do a more “official” sort of one and rotate a different ego each week from now.

I can’t promise that it will turn into̸̡ anything m̸͡ore than just a fun cool thing to do and look at for the community but if I think of something more to it then I’ll let you know :D 

I wa ǹ̶͟͝ t to be able to filter through them though without conflicting with other hashtags from before like septicart and lumping non related stuff into it, so let’s tag them with #egoartweek  

Also good ones:

ざけんなよ。 zakenna yo. You gotta be fucking kidding me.

So Ra sends Thoth out in an effort to soothe the goddess before she arrives in the north and wipes out everything including the gods (she’s just that strong). He’s terrified, but he tries all sorts of cunning and wisdom and trickery and tells her moral tales and all that, but all he can do is delay her.

In the meantime, Ra’s priests of the north are hard at work. They brew thousands of barrels of beer, and mix pots and pots red dye. And when the goddess inevitably arrives, they mix it up and pour it into the reeds of the nile. Believing it to be the spilled blood of her enemies, she drinks it up proudly… And gets EXTREMELY drunk, calming down and transforming into Hathor, goddess of joy and love.

Sirius’ rise - which varies around the world based on longitude, but basing it on Egypt for consistency’s sake - happens on the 24th of July in 2018.

This year the ancient new year is roughly the 2nd of August in Cairo.
