I WATCHED IT IT'S SO RIGHT
I read the book w/ Bumble in it (I legitimately don't remember its name sob) about 4 years ago, and the way everyone treated her made me stop reading DotC because it made me so angry. I still haven't gone back to finish it and I don't know if I will tbh
The part that pissed me off the most was how Gray Wing was such a little bitch the whole time. At least at the time -- so in 2020 -- people were still mostly very fond of him. I got into several arguments about it and people didn't take me seriously, although that may have been because the people I talked with were around my age and may not have had a fully developed understanding of the issues Bumble's whole thing exemplifies. I also didn't have adequate vocab to express what was wrong with what i had read, which didn't help.
Also, the point Moonkitti makes about Bumble and weight is really interesting. It's so annoying how generally fatphobic kids' media is (thinking about Harry Potter rn).
Very good video overall
BUMBLE TIME
Art trade with @hannyatiger !
This one took me 6 hours and 22 minutes, the second longest time of all the art trades I've done this year. I don't really know why it took that long. I guess I was just really slow at it.
It was an interesting challenge because I rarely work with really brightly coloured characters, so I had a bit of an experience trying to find a way to make it look a little less intense on the eyes.
hmm...
Fun fact: I don't have a gallbladder! I had it removed at 14 after contracting gallstones :D The nurses told me that gallstones are supposed to only occur in middle-aged people with high cholesterol and/or drinking problems, but I fit none of those categories. Somehow, I wasn't the youngest person they'd seen with the condition. They'd had an 11-year-old with it once, which is just bonkers.
I spent a week in the hospital. With gallstones, they remove the gallbladder to prevent getting it again (they are indescribably painful), so I had surgery, and I now have four little scars on my stomach. Also, the hospital refused to organise the flight back home, so my mum and I had to race to catch the next Rex flight to my hometown. Oh, and they didn't actually transfer me so I had to go through triage again after returning home. That was fun /s
That was also the first time I'd been under anaesthetic. It was really weird.
Pings (no pressure btw. I just wanna keep this going): @qibsichan @hannyatiger
it's so weird to me that everyone on this website is a human person outside of their weird internet niche so rb this with a random bit of your lore
My friend says she looks like the American flag. Is this ture
Vee?? Wtf???
Uh, so I don't like Vee's canon design, mostly her palette. A green palette could work, sure, but her specific palette is not good. Primarily because the two shades of green are almost exactly the same value (which makes them blend together), but also because it makes her look much more like a computer than a TV. Besides the colours, it kind of bothers me that she (and many other toons) are basically completely naked.
So I wanted to take a shot at redesigning her.
Here, we have a red/blue/grey colour scheme. This just makes the most sense to me; when I think "movie" or "TV" those are the colours I think of. The red and blue are also supposed to mimic 3D glasses.
She's fully clothed, in a suit because what else would she wear. Gave her white gloves bc the light value draws attention to her hands and makes her gestures easier to understand. Her face and tail glow for the same reason. I'd have Vee's tail always showing, by the way. I do not want to know where she puts it in canon. Uh. Anyway, she has a belt chain too bc they're cool.
Will make a good drawing of this design at some point, but I'm feeling lazy tonight, so yeah.
Ok that's it byeee (I will go back to my regular stuff eventually, I promise, but feast well in the meantime)
P.S. Reblog if you wanna see my other toon redesign ideas >:)
Art trade with mushroomaaaart on Instagram, ft their OC, Miko!
I'm very happy with the background on this one. I installed the newest CSP update last night, which FINALLY added chromatic aberration and a variety of other useful features, and it really helped with this. Miko looks pretty cute here too. I think this looks kind of like a Warrior Cats book cover. Lol
I'm still experimenting with my art style, but I think I'm getting closer to something I like. Right now I'm trying to focus on lineart because I feel like my lines are pretty boring and I want to make my digital art look a bit more like the pen sketches I like to do. I didn't try very much to do that in this drawing, but I probably will in the future.
Time spent: 4h 20min (legitimately lol)
KITTY ON THE BALL!! This is awesome by the way!!
I drew @aposterous character Carnical! I love the silly robotic clown kitty :3
