I forgot I made this little piece of fan art for an AU a whiiile back. As well as I seem to have forgotten his hair was supposed to be straighter but uh, no can do, those curls beat me.
The kitty beard kept crawling back so many times too… it’s instinctive!
Had to share this gorgeousness over here. I guess I done write goodly.
For all the artists out there. xoxo
Some days, this is just typing a sentence. Or making a few stitches. Or moving beads from one place to another. But it all counts.
Since I’m taking forever under a pile of projects, maybe you’d like to take a look at the online gallery of my talented housemate?
Shall we just say I’m more than pleased to have snagged some originals. (He also did the cover for my novel DarkHorse Vendetta.)
No, seriously, my housemate does awesome artwork, go see.
the janitor at the junior high drew these in the cafeteria oh my god
WHY IS HE A JANITOR
BECAUSE YOU CAN’T LIVE OFF OF GOOD INTENTIONS AND THE HOPE THAT SOMEONE WILL ACTUALLY PAY WHAT YOUR ART IS WORTH.

I’m still kicking, guys. The trouble with doing a bunch of things at once and then taking on random commissions inbetween is that it seems like very little is actually getting done. …That and, as in the case of these lovelies, I completely forget to share pictures of the finished work. Oops.
You may recognize Sien and Selia from their previous incarnation. Well, I was contacted asking if I might be able to expand them a bit for a larger wrist. Upon confirmation that I could do so, the client then provided me with a most awesome challenge: fire tongues. Clearly I was all over that, and I hope everyone else finds the result as stunning as I did.
I’m always making shinies, guys. …And forgetting to post them…

Zen Pencils Comic: 50. NEIL GAIMAN: Make good art
Some days this quote is what keeps me going.
I’ve got a pavlovian fear response to this speech, because while its supposed to be inspiring my boyfriend has taken it to mean ‘make good art’. Whenever he thinks my work isn’t good enough or what I’m working on is stupid (which includes all fanart and this entire blog) he’ll say it. “Make GOOD art”.
Then your boyfriend is either a rude idiot who’s completely missed the point, or he really needs to be told that his encouragement needs work because the way he says it is only discouraging you.
“Good art” here does not mean the art has to be professional or museum quality. I means the art has to have your heart in it; that it should to contain the raw emotion of whatever you’re working through, so you can get those emotions out instead of stewing in them until you drown in their funk.
Good art provokes a response. A silly doodle that makes someone laugh is provoking a response. Abstract colors that fade into each other and dredge up memories- good or bad- provoke a response. Even the kid drawing on his cast, likely bored in his hospital room and possibly not experiencing any earth-shaking emotional upheaval, is making himself smile.
I draw fan art, and when I finish a picture, the most frequent first thought I have is “this is my best yet”. That’s a response, too, because it makes me feel proud that I’m learning and improving. No one has to like my art for it to be worthwhile. It means practice and experience to me, and THAT makes it worthwhile to me. That makes it good art.
Reblogged for both the comic and commentary.
And coz I make artz.

WELP
THAT QUICKLY TURNED INTO SOMETHING HORRIFYING
I’m telling you, it was only a matter of time before zombies started making art.

wow.
are those buttholes.
No, you are buttholes.
First off, the painting on top was done by Adolf Hitler, who was rejected from art school because of his inability to draw people in any way. Hitler could paint landscapes, but only landscapes, so no art school wanted him due to that glaring gap in his skill. Beyond that, the painting shown has major flaws, such as the white part of the house lacking any detail, therefore looking distracting and unfinished.
Secondly, if you see a butthole, that’s entirely you. Abstract expressionism belongs to its viewers, so if you see an ass, then that’s all you get out of that work. But just as literary works leave their readers to independently derive significance, expressionist art allows for layers upon layers of meaning to be derived. By saying that what you see in those painting is an asshole, you’re showing an understanding of art akin to the people who think that English teachers read into literary works too much.
but those are actual photographs of buttholes
not even paintings
photographs
of anuses
OH MY GOD, COULD YOU BE FURTHER AWAY FROM THE POINT?
EVEN AS ASSHOLES, THEY ARE SHOWING ABSTRACTION IN THE PHYSICAL WORLD THROUGH AN UNCONVENTIONAL SUBJECT.
they’re buttholes.
You’re the worst kind of person. You’re unimaginative and you take pride in that fact. You fail to see cognitive depth in things you believe to not conventionally warrant it, and it is because of that reason that you are so stunningly replaceable in society.
you two are fighting over whether hitler’s painting or pictures of buttholes is better
I’m arguing that immature interpretation of artwork is not funny or cute, it’s annoying as all hell.
Dude, those are fucking buttholes. It’s not supposed to be funny or cute, we’re putting aside pretentious bullshit and pointing out the fact that those are pictures of buttholes.
I am dying of laughter. This is awesome. Come for the fandoms and stay for the fights over art and buttholes”
I couldn’t figure out what they were until I read the comments and now I can’t unsee it.
Personally, I believe that if you think photographs of people’s anuses can be classed as art then you’re the asshole.
I second that.
This is just so fucking glorious.
