My lazy ass does not like making thumbnails but damnnnnnnn does the auto-crop do a disservice to some of my uploads... 😭😭😭 That's 100% on me I knew this site gave art 1:1 cropped thumbnails but still damnnnn. To used to dA and Tumblr not making me have to do that. >_<;;
Making this a reminder to myself cuz I really gotta lock in on owed. Havin' so much fun using this site but it's making me a bit distracting wahhhhhh...... 😭
Getting the rambles out of me.. Thinkin' abt maybe coming up with my own journal games. Gonna have to make sure and check that there isn't already smthn similar going around, but I think it'd be a fun thing 2 do AND it gets some more games out there even if they don't end up catching on. Already got some ideas in mind for prompts/ topics, but I'm gonna force myself to wait until I've gotten some more stuff done b4 I work on any. Like when u use the idea of getting urself a treat to try and motivate yourself to get work done, yk?
YIPPEEE I think it's super apparent how important music is 2 me with how I title all my pieces based on songs I like, so I got super excited 2 see this meme go around. :3c My good friend Mick already beat me 2 this one, u should check his out as welll !!!!
G - Gravity Rides Everything | (Modest Mouse)
U - Unfrozen | (Jack Conte)
R - Rock It for Me | (Caravan Palace)
O - Ooh Ah | (nelward)
M - Me and Micheal | (MGMT)
A - All Gone | (Mother Mother)
W - White Teeth Teens | (Lorde)
S - So This Is Our Home (i would set myself on fire for you) | (Ash Bricky)
I think I got a good mix of what I listen to in there. All of these artists are ones I listen to/ have listened to a lot w/ some being favs of mine, but hopefully they aren't all too samey.
My music taste can get a bit more broad than this, but unfortunately there's only so many I can pick based on the letters in my user. >_<;;
I see some other journal memes are popping up and ohhhh this is gonna be so fun. I'm gonna try and. Not do them all in one day tho so this will be the only one 2day. Might be fun to do them each morning/ every other morning/ however I end up spacing them out personally. :3c Tho if anyone suggests/ tags (in spirit, I know this site doesn't have a functional mention system yet /nm) me in one, it'll for sure go on my list. Just don't be surprised if it takes me a minute to get to it !!!
Might try and see what tag games would be easy to port from Tumblr to here as well..! Grr the sense of community on this site is so good and I've only been here for like, A Day.
It was super fun getting 2 do the intro one and I haaaave seen that username playlist one (might do it tomorrow atp since it's getting late) but I'm curious if there have been any others goin' around so far? If anyone has seen some others plz let me know!
Gonna keep my eye on the recent journals to see if I can find any popping up myself, so no worries if nobody knows of any others rn.
Anyways, that's all LOL. I'm gonna get up the rest of the art I can upload today and call it a day, bye !
What it says in the title! I'm sure nobody minds, but I'm gonna be trying to use up all the posts I can make per 24 hours to try and make my page less empty. ^w^;; So that means there's gonna be some kinda "spam" from me 4 a bit until I feel like there's enough on here for me to go to my usual "every other day" schedule.
Taking a break 4 now tho!! I've spent... so much of my day setting myself up here LOL man this site is so nice 2 use. Alas, I need to get some work in on my owed since I gave myself a full break yesterday. My art posting will resume once I've gotten some projects done (I have a lot of stuff that's in progress & close to being done that I wanna get done b4 I go to bed).
YIPPEEEE stealing dis from my friend Mick @biracy !! <33
BASICS:
name/nickname: Crust is my art alias; if ur talking about my art, please use that for me! My actual names are Karl, Sho, and Schmidt; ur free to use those interchangeably
gender: Agenderrrr babyyyyy. Dubiously transmasc but the way I wish to present has nothing to do with my gender JKDSNGK.
pronouns: It/its but friends/ mutuals can ask for my other prns if they want to use those as well !! (too many people will refuse to use it/its if you use other prns so I gotta trust u to be normal abt it srry -_-;;;)
age: 19
location: Wouldn't you like to know, weather boy? (/reference) BUT being more serious; I'm USAmerican & that's all u need 2 know. I'm sure I'll say shit that'll indicate something more specific but ur gonna have 2 put in the work 4 that LOL.
fun fact: I really liiikkeee chihuahua dogs. They're the only dog breed my family has had so they mean a lot 2 me. Chihuahua haters DNI (being silly abt this but like, seriously if u demonize chihuahuas/ post about seriously hating them gtfo my page ty).
hobbies/interests:
dream job: Dude if u could make an actual livable income off of commz alone that would RULE. That's my ideal job.
ART:
favorite medium: I don't work in traditional often, but I reaallllyyy like oil pastels. This reminds me that I should really get myself some oil pastels 2 play with ughhhhh.
favorite subjects (what do you like to draw, take pictures of, making music about, ect):
favorite artists/inspiration: My friendz (Pont, Mick, Hayden, etcc) <33
favorite period of art: (voice of guy who has not studied art periods outside of their brief mentions in MS & HS art classes) Uhmmmmm.. I think Impressionism and Surrealism are both super cool.
piece you're the most proud of: Right now it's probbbablyyy this painted icon I did for my bestie's bday ! :0
how long have you been creating: Been doodlin' ever since I could pick up a crayon LOL & it became one of my main hobbies reallllyy fast. I wanna say I've been doing it more seriously for like? 10 yrs? Ever since I saw my first Warriors AMV I knew I wanted to draw and animate fictional animals.
how did you learn: Trial & error & mostly teaching myself. My HS art classes def helped me as well but a lot of the practice behind where my art is now was fueled by me wanting to do something, not knowing how to do it, and then looking up art tutorials/ doing studies on my own.
how long does it usually take you to make something: I wanna say 1-2 hrs if it's a simple project? 30min if I'm just doodling? But bigger projects can easily take 3-4+ hours. I have not yet processed that my drawing process is a lot more involved than it was like, 4 years ago.
what's the big project you haven't got around to yet: I have like a thousand animation ideas that I want to do so bad but I have to focus on owed. I'm being sooo brave about it though (my teeth are gritted and my face is red while I try and hold back tears). Oh and I also wanna do one of those "designing every Warrior cat"-type projects but I'm less upset abt not yet having the time to do that.
I don't know anybodyyyy besides Mick on here yet so auhh.. no tagz sorry. HOWEVER other newcomers feel free to pretend I tagged u if u wanna do this as well. :)
If any1 wants to drop a comment and say hi feel free 2,, very fresh to this place so I need 2 find people to follow 'nd stuff. Wont f4f but if I check ur page and u look chill/ u got a cool style I'll probs follow.
Half of my typing iz a lot more silly than I would usually do it. I kinda just waunna have fun since this is a very pre-Eclipse dA thing 2 me and part of the fun with that is gettin' quirky with how I type. Future journals may or may not have some of these quirks, depending on my mood when writing as well as the seriousness of the journal LOLLL.
