I’m so unmotivated to work on coloring and shading this tree; I keep staring at my tablet and thinking of where to work next, but I keep spacing out or getting distracted, and as a result procrastinate. I’ll get it done, it’s just bit tedious

So even Nintendo is falling into the trap where distributors in charge of subscription services are removing content. Just recently, they announced the removal of a third-party game on the SNES. Granted, the removal of one third-party game shouldn’t raise an alarm, but that also means games like Banjo-Kazooie and Goldeneye 007 might be at risk.

If I have a fun idea, I draw it anyway, bc I think that is overall more interesting than technical skill. For example, I drew Elvira as a mermaid surrounded by spooky deep-sea creatures, and now I’m working on my new art series where I draw Animal Crossing villagers as pro wrestlers with the same names. (Tiffany as Tiffany Stratton, Molly as Molly Holly, etc.)

I’m not a great artist, but I’ve been drawing for years and think it’s a nice hobby. I think new ideas could be a fun way to practice your skills— using a variety of different settings and positions.

Off the top of my head…some more in my art series would be:
—Ricky as Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat
—Becky as Becky Lynch
—Victoria as Victoria lol
—Kevin as Kevin Nash
—Bam as Bam Bam Bigelow
—Piper as Piper Niven
—Chelsea as Chelsea Green
—Rod as Roddy Piper
—Kody as Cody Rhodes
—Wendy as Wendi Richter

No idea who else so far lol

Saw the promo pics of Shrek’s daughter in Shrek 5. People were pointing out that the ogre baby girl in the previous movies had bright blue eyes, and now hers are brown. Don’t a lot of babies have blue eyes, and then they change color? Maybe it’s another human trait they’re giving the ogres.

They brought in Zendaya to voice her, maybe they made the ogre look more like Zendaya?

Maybe. They do that in a lot of animated movies— make the character look like the voice actor, especially if the voice actor is a famous celebrity. (not just as a VA)

Cats do it as well and so do many birds. It’s common in nature. I never looked into why on other species but for cats it’s because more melanin develops in their eyes.

On the subject of that teaser I don’t hate it. I’m whelmed. I really dislike influencer jokes but it’s just a teaser. I think the new art style is just fine but was a bit overanimated.

I started reading the Genshin manga and it is pretty good; one of the early panels kinda bugged me since it seemed a bit unnecessary fan service with the way the woman is bending to hug a kid and her butt is kinda in the center. Not the worst fan service I’ve seen but I feel like it could have been better at a different angle. Aside from this, the artwork looks amazing…except maybe the design of Il Dottore that I mentioned in the random thoughts for video games thread . He looks so goofy; I don’t want to say the design is bad though I can’t say I like it either. I very much like his appearance in the game much much better. At the same time, I think the design does give off this mad scientist like vibe. I haven’t read the chapter yet since I just started, but maybe the design is perfect for the manga content but doesn’t fit the impression that I have of him from what I’ve seen in the game so far.
