MONSTER EDIT

These are screenshots made to look like they're part of an opening sequence. What kind of opening? That's for you to imagine.

Bonus:

He really needs to smile more.

I still have a lot of things I want to make. The art in Monster is so detailed and beautiful that just reinterpreting it through my own perspective takes a lot of time. So, I think I'll keep uploading posts like this for a while. I'm really grateful for all the feedback I get on my posts. Thank you so much!

I'm sure what's crazy is probably this world.

A Love Letter to Type 5

To the Ever-Curious,

           There is something about you, sweet lover, that I just can’t put my finger on. Like a mystery I’ve already read but that I can’t quite remember the ending to, you astonish me.

           Observant and free-thinking—you radiate open-mindedness. But it’s also OK to not care for the things that other people seem to think are so important. You just need to develop the confidence necessary to know that you are not the only one to have these thoughts. And you’re not “crazy.”

            As hard-working as they come, you could never be useless. Never helpless. Never incompetent. And although you can come across to others as tundra-esque, it is not your fault that they do not understand your aloofness.

           I know that you struggle to relate to others—that, sometimes, emotions feel so foreign to you—but that does not mean that you don’t have just the biggest heart. And I see—beyond the skyline nestled in your irises—that you are trying. I would never discount the efforts you are putting in.

           When afforded the opportunity for alone time, you take it. And I would never dream of withholding that from you. So you best believe that I know, with everything you have inside of you, that when you give up your alone time to spend it with me—that’s something very special. I cherish that—and you.

           It is OK to ask for help, stubborn one. And it’s OK if you ask it of me. I will never see you as lesser because you do not understand or because you require the kind of assistance that we all do from time to time. I will never see you as incapable just because you have a question. And I could never write you off just because you didn’t quite “get it” the first go around.

           Connect with me, lover. Let me feel the way you think—the way you process—and let me relish it.

I need you in the same ways that you need understanding,

r.h.

P.S. Don’t lose your spark. Don’t let people squash your curiosity. You are allowed to be curious. You are allowed to ask questions, and if people can’t accept that, then they’re not the right people for you.

art tips

don’t call what you create “content”. regardless of what it is. that’s the devil talking. call it art, call it writing, call it music, call it analysis, call it editing, literally just call it what it is

I was going to put other things but oh my god please just don’t call yourself a “content creator”. you are a person you are making art / writing / music / etc you are an artist an author a musician

you are not an Image Generator For Clicks And Views. please. allow yourself to connect with your work by naming it properly and acknowledging yourself in kind

My first post. I dedicate the honor of my first post to two characters and ship that I have loved so much over the past half year.

With a really honest heart, I chose it with all my tastes.

Mondo Grosso - IN THIS WORLD (Piano mix)

Ilaria Graziano - i do

Telepopmusik - Into Everything

Tokyo Incidents - Sweet Spot

Hikaru Utada - Somewhere Near Marseilles

They've been driving me crazy for the past half year. I've been content with barely interacting with anyone, but eventually they made me open a Tumblr account. I desperately need people I can talk to about them…
