Jitterz Art

I'm not talking about oc negativity as in someone making fun of your ocs (although I'm against that too). When I'm talking about oc negativity, I'm talking about the way people refer to their own ocs.

back then i made a bunch of these but by now i lost the pic and dont know how to find the original post anymore

so anyway here is the diagram for anyone else who is interested!!

this requires pretty big carboard pieces, if you have a really big box or something you can make it from one piece, but if you don't, you can also just make each of the pieces individually and then tape them together

and then in the end you put it together like this!!

and then when you make a bunch you can put them all next to each other and stack your books like crazy

We may have reached an itty bitty eensy teensy turning point.

With the help of Masaki Kajishima, Toru Miura, Hiroshi Negishi, and fans from around the world, Armiger Entertainment is proud to present the spiritual sequel of Tenchi Universe: TENCHI GALAXY! TENCHI GALAXY follows the Tenchi gang as they travel to the planet of the space pirates, MIKUNI, in search of an artifact that was stolen from Jurai. In order to get it back, they must face NIIMI, the queen of the space pirates. What dangers await them? What connection does Niimi have to Ryoko? And whose side is Nagi on? Tenchi, the girls, and Ryo-Ohki return to the screen just as you remember them. Detective Kiyone will be appearing in anime form for the first time since 1999, along with Nagi and Ken-Ohki for the first time since 1995! We personally reached out to the classic English voices of Tenchi Muyo! to see if they would be interested in reprising their iconic roles for another adventure...and they enthusiastically agreed! Cristina Vee is also stepping into the role of the one and only Princess Ayeka! Please click “Notify me on launch” to follow this pre-launch page before the campaign goes live! Thank you all for your continued support.

The heat’s been brutal this summer but we still gotta eat! If you’re like me, heat might suppress your appetite, and the last thing any of us want is to sweat over a hot stove and oven when it’s already boiling outside. Here are some of my favorite hot-weather recipes to keep hydrated and fed with when the weather is unbearable! (All recipes should be un-paywalled).

NYT’s best gazpacho (lives up to its name!!)

Persian cold cucumber soup (if you like tzatziki you will like this!)

Eric Kim’s cold noodles with tomato (infinitely riffable Korean flavor profile — for a creamier and less brothy take, try these cold sesame noodles too)

Vietnamese chicken and herb salad (this is an excellent time to get a rotisserie chicken so you don’t have to turn the oven on)

Radish sandwiches with butter and salt (and in a similar vein, if you dig this flavor combo you should try this Polish cottage cheese dip on some good rye bread or even crackers)

It’s still a little early in the season, but you can never go wrong with a BLT (or, if you don’t eat bacon, try this tomato furikake sandwich in its place)

Infinite iterations of pasta salad! You can use anything you got but here is a template I like.

Assorted dense bean salads. This back pocket canned salad is a weird combo of jarred ingredients but it slaps, this hoagie-inspired one is super satisfying, and cowboy caviar is a classic for a reason.

Poke bowls! Canned tuna mixed with some kewpie mayo and sriracha is a budget-friendly riff on the usual ahi and makes everything taste like a spicy tuna roll, but use whatever proteins you like, this is more of a loose template.

I've been struggling through a lot of things and having a really rough time making any art, but I am clawing my way back to being a functional human being

I decided I would tackle ArtFight again this year on the hopes that it will help me get back into the groove of doing art. Creating two new sets of character references has already helped! Yunni and Rerk from AstralSounds will be joining the party this year

Hi there ! thank you ! :) I would say, you need to work/draw/practive with intentions. You need to know what specific skill you are trying to improve each time you start a drawing session. For Layout and background painting, you need many different skills so it's good to have a list :

Perspective Composition Color theory Light theory Shape design Architecture design Line work/brushwork

when you do a piece of art ask yourself : what am I working on today ? you can do multiple at once of course ! And when you feel that you are not achieving what you want, try to pinpoint which skill is lacking, and look for ressources about that specific one ! Always surround yourself with REFERENCES, you can't draw everything from imagination, you absolutely need to study the world !! and don't limit to pinterest and google images, find books and go outside !

You need VARIETY in order to get better, there is nothing worth than a creative brain getting bored because you are doing the same exercizes over and over.

Studies, life drawings, plein air, are good when you don't have inspirations and you want a base to build from. Personnal illustration help you develop a personnal style, a langage, explore with your skill, have fun, be an artist.

Failures are OK and normal, just keep drawing, the more you draw the less you will care about doing something less good. Every drawing, every sketch, every painting, is a lesson. You may not feel it while you do it, but in the long run you will !!
