Low Quality Sketch Of A Character Of Mine, Who I’ll Be Using As My ‘avatar’. 

Everything can’t be sunshine and rainbows here I guess. But that probably should be expected at this point.

The ending of season 1 is some pretty good proof of that

But no?????? Please?????

Reblog to give Dirk Gently a kiss on the cheek.

wHOAHOHOHO it’s been years

im amazed i ended up revisiting Dirk Gently but now I’m into the Hannibal series (+Hugh Dancy related things

a lot sure has happened—

A WIP of one of the pixel portraits I’m currently drawing, I really like what I’ve done with the eyes

inspiration... or lack of thereof

I wanna write something.

I’ve got the main characters, but I have no idea what to do with them. 

Well, the idea is that they’re a small group of travelers traveling from world to world, scene to scene, aware that they’re not even real, but trying to break the bounds and live life the best they can.... While finding themselves wandering these worlds.

The original idea was that they observe the lives of people on TV shows I enjoy, or even have the briefest of interactions because they cannot be an impact to the character’s life (like being someone they bumped into on accident in a grocery store, or someone they see behind the counter, a very short conversation in the elevator that later on will be meaningless or forgotten to the character later)

but now I’m thinking I should develop a world for them to explore and go through. Maybe I’ll do just that instead. 

I think the issue is I have no idea where to start.

Probably I should do what I did as a kid, when I was way more inspired. Well, maybe they weren’t the best ideas reading my old works and cringing at it, (but hey we all have to start somewhere,) 

but at least I decided on an idea and went with it.

I think I should do that.

I’m not sure though. I kinda liked the original idea, but I feel like it would also be a good idea to create a real big backstory to them 

the only backstory so far that I have was that they were plucked out of their own lives that had their own things going on for them, not the worst things but certainly not the best things either, and would have to go through a endless trip of situations like running through the forest trying to escape some evil fairies to fending off evil vampires, then later after fending off some vampires and possibly some fairies that have somehow decidedly agreed to work together, they are somewhat back to normal by simply going shopping for some more supplies for more trips, then going back to doing things like looking for the lost shiny dragon scale that could have really just been a fish scale for all I know- well, I made up this fantasy nonsense on the spot just trying to be nonsensical, none of it actually happened. I dunno what I really tried to strive for but it’s almost like this. Although the fantasy element came to mind. Maybe there’s a part when they pretend to be part of a secret service only for the fun of it for a bit, then another part when they’re pretending to be hiding from something after them

... OK, I see I have a lot of directions I could go in, but.... I have absolutely no idea where I want to start first, and I don’t want my characters to be ridiculously overpowered. I would like them to go through situations they could handle, which is most likely hunting evil fairies and vampires or protecting... Their world? The universe? ... maybe.

Hey, maybe I could do just that but-

... I think it’s been done before. Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Grimm, both series I hear of but have never actually watched? Hang on, I’ll check on Grimm because I’m uncertain and I don’t really want to get that wrong at all. [yea i thought so]

I really wanna do something original. It doesn’t have to be a huge hit, but I wanna do my best. I really wanna do something crazy with my imagination, and interpret it on paper the best I can. Maybe I could just stop overthinking it like I am right now. I think by now you could tell I’ve gotten into this mood where I spill onto the page, and I actually feel productive writing this, even if I’m probably not in actuality. But what a nice way to warm up. I think this is a good way to do it, maybe. 

Spilling onto the page perhaps just something off the top of your head, like that thing I did with the idea of how the backstory was originally. What’s the term for it- writing-purge? Writing-splurge? I don’t remember.

Y’know, I think about it and maybe this will be something that will take me years of my life to put together. But that’s OK, good art takes time, as my 4th grade teacher said once. The wonderful shows I enjoy might have taken years of thought to put together ‘right’- or in the best way it could have been. 

I remember being told by my mom I can’t force inspiration, it’ll come in time.

I don’t know if waiting would be the best thing, either. 

I did take a slight risk by writing down this basic draft of an idea with an example of the storyline, maybe someone could copy this. Maybe someone could be inspired.

Probably you’ll move along in your day after reading this splurge-of-an-idea post. I might have gotten inspired in the smallest moment- well, I took a while to write this, then again. I think I’ve gotten a tiny bit inspired, and perhaps this isn’t bad after all.

I did feel like I should probably write down how I’m feeling about writing, so here it is. 

... Also, it’s really late and I should be asleep by now. I know I’m not the only one out there, though. But knowing that doesn’t really change the fact, does it? ... I should move along.........

Tl;dr: I actually did say it at the beginning: I got the main characters, but I have no idea what to do with them.

for the sake of writing I just might share the scraps of ideas I have of my characters, just to get it out there and get over procrastinating. I just might.

just a reblog for the art and the rebuttal

[also, clicking the link and taking a closer look at the copy- I find at the bottom left corner a 666. i dunno why that’s there???]

Meet the Mona Lisa of the Prado, the earliest known copy of Da Vinci’s best portrait. Similarity in the undersketch of the painting indicates that this was very likely painted concurrently with the original Mona Lisa, by a student of Da Vinci.

There is much controversy in the art world over the question of whether or not to clean the fragile Mona Lisa, but her sister has been restored and some fairly odd later alterations removed to show the original vibrant colors and lighting. Some details, such as the sheerness of her shawl and the pattern on the neckline of her dress, have become utterly obscured in the original, but in the restored copy they’re perfectly clear.

It blows my mind a little bit to look at these two sisters side-by-side and imagine how much vivid detail could be hiding in the Mona Lisa under 500 years of rotten varnish. 

well

hello 

...

i don’t know what to post..

Where is the baguette ?
