The Past Is A Grotesque Animal

sorry for post inactivity! trying to get back in the groove.

anyway heres some redraws of some old ocs :) i'm really happy to see how much my art has improved over the years!

The WoF and pkmn Horizons crossover I didn't post here for some reason. Explanations for my inspirations are in ALTs

a rare moment where i draw traditional

some genderswap screencaps i did! they're fun to do :3

angel and his sister molly!

made me and my gf fnaf self insert characters... they work the dayshift at freddy fazbears..

if verosika from helluva boss was a pokemon, can she be a salazzle?

i agree so hard. she would def be a salazzle

honestly I'm probably overthinking this, but I think it's an interesting detail that in the Unmortricken episode during the whole "trap Saw box" shit we've got this shot of Evil Morty sort of disappointed/dismayed RIGHT as we've got our Morty Prime telling Rick to "take the shot".

Like he's got the sort of annoyed, sort of cast down look for a few seconds (because right after we have the "We both hate Rick Prime more than each other either way" thing) and I'm reading way too much into this, but it makes me think that he does give a shit about Morty, despite his Very Constant Denial.

I mean taking all aspects of the episode under consideration, we've got several scenes where it is heavily underlined that Evil Morty does not care about Rick C-137 nor Morty, even being blunt about it and telling everyone to fuck off or it won't end well.

It's not that I don't believe he wants to be left alone, he very pointedly does, Buttttt I think E!Morty does hold some form of "softness" or positive emotions towards Morty.

Looking at their characteristics in the episode, I know most of the other fans have noticed that our "main" Morty's character seemed to have regressed for the ep to more of s1/s2 behavior, making him look more "whiney" and weak in comparison to Evil Morty. I think it's to point out that if we Had our Morty's normal behavior from even previous episodes of season 7, we'd be able to see how SIMILAR both of them are now.

(I mean c'mon, I get you rushed his character a little, but to fuck it right back to season 1/2 during a significant mid season finale? You've gotta have a bigger reason for it.)

In either case, it's likely that we have an episode of Morty sub-consciously trying his hardest not to act like Evil Morty (That's why we got the development regression for an episode) as Evil Morty seemingly just acts like himself, merely underlining that he does not care.

"This didn't make us friends" okay??? Then why even wait for Prime Morty at all to join Rick in his beat down w Rick Prime? Don't get me wrong, Evil Morty won't suddenly develop attachment to him out of thin air, but imo he sees all the potential Prime Morty has yet is currently wasting it.

It's sort of a little nod to how insane it is of a parallel that Ricks can't fucking stand one another or themselves, immediately trying to one up the other or kill, as to how Mortys can co-exist peacefully and work together without any unhealthy character implements. (Fun fact: If you're into mortycest in one of the comics two Mortys sleep w each other. So we've got established selfcest in canon too if you're imagining and rolling Evil Morty's and Morty's relationship into a more romantic ball court.)

Another little detail I noticed, we have a moment where Rick shoots at Evil Morty again for funsies and I gotta say, the expressions are feeding into my overanalyzing brain . LIKE??? AM I SEEING THIS WRONG?

These two have GOT to have something cooking between them PLEASE.

hi there. i don't usually make posts like this, but i want to look out for my fellow artists

this person messaged me, and was very obviously trying to scam me. i entertained it because i really do need the money, but it was obviously too good to be true. i wanna use this post as a guide for fellow artists on what to look out for on fake commissions, as well as a beware of sorts

this person dmed me, looking for a commsion of "their son's pet." now obviously this isn't always the case, but be aware of your audience. if someone comes in asking you to draw something that seems kind of weird given what you usually draw, first red flag.

second of all, this person offered me WAY MORE than what i was asking. obviously my prices are listed in the image above, and they are pretty solid. now tips aren't unheard of, but paying almost 600% more than my pricing..? that's your second red flag

thirdly, this person actually typed in my email wrong! this is how i was for sure that it was fake, but obviously this won't happen every time. my email is blurred for safety purposes, but they typed an O instead of a zero, yet the confirmation still went through. my email is not a common word, so once i saw this i was certain it was fake

and lastly, if someone "sends you money" through paypal and then tells you to check your email, it is 100% A SCAM. you should not have to go through an email to accept money you have been sent through paypal.

another tip if you are accepting money through cashapp. you should not be able to receive an amount over $1,000 through cashapp, and if the person wants you to pay like, a security thing of $50 for the money, it is 100% fake.

i've dealt with more scam commissions than real ones, and it's honestly disheartening as an artist.

please reblog this to help other small artists avoid scams like this. blessed be <3
