cool stuff you've made

Generic art-that-doesn't-fit-in-the-other-threads thread.

This is me telling a story in a showcase about a ridiculous thing that I participated in. I'm at about 51 minutes in, but if you have the time/inclination, everyone is super rad and funny. The first story is full of PUNS AND BEARS which are the only things that matter ever.

[Jacomo]

Very entertaining. Didn't have time to watch them all but yours was very good. Also really enjoyed the story after yours.

I was surfing through Asdrall's galleries looking for more banner inspiration, and as soon as I saw this, meme happened:



Because Reasons.

[Zac]

I was conflicted on whether to make a new thread for drawings and paintings or revive this one but since Maddie went through the trouble of creating this one already, I thought I'd bump it and see all different kinds of art!

So, basically, the reason I'm posting is because last night, I had a meltdown when Cia drew these adorable pictures of my characters and then I had the pleasure of a few other people showing me their artwork and I have to say, I was blown away; aside from that I also know a couple of amazing artists on here but the weird thing is that every single person whose art I've seen so far (sketches, paintings, etc) is so so so good but every. single. person doesn't think they are. Like literally every artist I know doesn't think they're any good and that grates my cheese a little.
I guess, in a way, it makes sense because since birth, we're told that pursuing art will only seal our fate to working in cafes. We're shown comparisons until we begin to question our own style and "if it's good enough". We're basically told that art isn't important and you have to be like mind-numbingly fantastic to even be worthy of praise.
I don't think that's true. I think art and all artists tend to be undervalued, mostly by themselves.
We should celebrate our art and appreciate it.
Whatever the reason is for your art, celebrate it. Love it.
Seriously.

I'll put my money where my mouth is and I really, really hope other people join in too!

UGH I AM SO IN LOVE WITH THAT LAST PAINTING. I remember it was one of the first you ever showed me after you started college, since it was for your portfolio, and I remain totally enamored with it. JFC.

You're so talented, bbgirl <3

[Xedanis]

I agrees. That is probably the most beautiful take on Prism Art I've ever seen. A rainbow in a water droplet. Beautiful.

[Tifereth]

Yessss that too.
But I meant this one:



It just speaks to me on a personal level and I don't know if it's because I've been there with you through your struggle to get that portfolio done and then on your fight with yourself to consider yourself capable of entering the school you wanted, or because of how eerily beautiful that piece is. I don't know. I just know I'd buy the shit out of that painting if I could. |:

[Wysterium]

Look at that spoiled rotten carrot, that little sh*t.
Spoiled rotten little sh*t. v.v So stinking spoiled in his little suit and then his sweatpants.
HE STILL LOOKS SO STINKING CUTE I COULD EAT HIM UP. But I'll leave that to Mama Berry. <3


Edited because I promised to post the doodle that ruined Descended forever:



Now he's forever a sad pudge who sat in his undies and cried like a baby.

[Zac]

Omfg, yes. All of the struggle and stress ever. That was literally such a ridiculous point in my life and I remember halfway through that painting, I was like, CIA LOOK AT IT LOOK because I had actually made something I liked. But thank you. <3 I want you to post some of your awesome drawings here too! Share your talents, woman. D:<

Thank you, Adam! I'm glad that the fact it's an ink drop is apparent. >.< Shitty phone camera.

YESSSS OMG YESSS that is my favourite drawing of yours! <3 Before that, Deston was a manly man who was tough and killed stuff and then after, he became an adorable puppyball for all to treasure and coddle. The beginning of an era, really. I still have that drawing on my phone and every time I need an 'aww', I look at it. #NOSHAME

Deffo going to be drawing more chibis though. It's fun and easy. e.e

[Aziza]

[Tifereth]

Sigh. Fine, Arni, you win. I found some drawings that were halfway salvageable--sorry for the low quality of pictures

[Zac]

Holy shit, Bethy, I don't know what you're talking about. Crocheting and knitting takes so much patience and skill. I'm always in wonder of just how. All your creations look so cozy and it makes me happy. v.v
