I Don’t Know About You Guys But The Main Reason I Am Still On Tumblr In 2024 Is BECAUSE It Is The Most

Avalanche & co

my art summary for this year!!! at least art-wise, i feel like i improved a lot while somehow gaining a lot more attention and following than i imagined... especially here on tumblr! thanks to everyone who enjoyed my art this year and stuck around. :)))) [template]

Happy FINAL FANTASY VIII 26th Anniversary!

These were posted to Twitter to celebrate 9/29 (both a 002/009 shipping day and the day the 2001 anime’s finale aired I believe). I believe it’s all official artwork from the 2001 anime. Fun fact that I learned from said tweet, the final episode (in Japan at least) is titled “From Here to Eternity” after a 1950s Hollywood war film (which itself was named after a line from Rudyard Kipling’s poem “Gentleman-Rankers” about British soldiers from the late 19th century). Lots of layers of meaning to unpack, I’m sure 😅 but I haven’t seen the film. The poem does seem appropriate for Cyborg 009 though!

wouldn't you like to see something strange...?

until next year, Happy Halloween! 🎃

The Chosen Four

Earthbound has had a quite big impact on my art journey. When I was a young teen, I would visit Starmen.net regularly to check amazing fan art EB fans would make and learn from them. It was nostalgic to draw some EB fan art again.

Hey you, do you enjoy Turk Vincent? Do I have a fun little bit of fandom history for you! Do you know these fanarts?

These were all done by the same artist! Their name is Yoneko and they did many, many, many artworks of Vincent starting in the early 2000s but a lot of their most popular works were done between 2013-2017ish.

Many of their Turk Vincent artworks are reposted very often to the point where a good amount of their art is the first thing that comes up when you search "turk vincent" online! But when you see them they're reposted to sites like Pinterest with no credit given or shown anywhere.

Below the keep reading is a collection of a bunch of their most reposted Vincent Valentine arts, as early as 2006, collected from their twitter, pixiv, as well as their old webpages (here[this is the large archive of their work] and here) that I was able to find. Some are a bit spicy so this is your warning.

They are still semi-active on their twitter account and their pixiv account so go check them out their work is obviously still fantastic.

They recently did some Vincent art on their twitter as well!

caption (roughly translated, I do not know japanese): wip I'm drawing Turks Vincent for the first time in about 700 million years, and I was surprised to find that my hands perfectly remembered how to draw hair, etc. I've been drawing for over 10 years, so I guess that's what I've learned.

"Raine... Aren't yoo gonna marry Uncle Laguna?"
