I have an admission to make: I never actually got over Zevran Arainai.
and I probably never will.

I need to learn how to paint faster - this took way too long to finish. It did not help that at the end I realized my aging cintiq 12wx’s color display is getting weirder and weirder. The colors look so much warmer on the silly thing! I think I hurt my eyes trying to decide which color was truer and now I have no idea.

I “performed” this “dance” for video reference of this kid in episode 302 of Avatar, “The Headband.” I rarely shy away from making a complete ass of myself in the name of fun, so I thought I’d share this with you guys. This was taped back in 2006, but I think my back still hurts.

guys i think i am kind of in love with this guy

I need to remind myself to stop being lazy and upload my old figure drawings onto this blog! that is, once i sort through all my directories and sub-sub directories.
Anyhow, here are two of my original characters who have been living in my head for a very long time, albeit in different incarnations.
The one on the left is Khais, a starry-eyed young and somewhat hapless private in the republic’s military who has been sent on the seemingly pointless task (since they don’t trust her with the important things) of investigating a weird revolutionary cult of an empire from antiquity. She recruits the help of Acacia (the other lady here), a outdoorswoman/hunter type person whose sister has joined this weird cult.
…yeah i’ll get to this story eventually…

errrrr i hope it’s kosher to reblog stuff from my more srs bsns art blog but this tumblr has been looking pretty unloved lately.

More Background Paintings from Motorcity, Episode 02 “Power Trip”

Once I started working “in-house” at Titmouse on the show, this was my first assignment. I drew the cold open sequence, which as it turns out is a rather important, recurring area for the Burners-their test track.  There was plenty more struggle & strife to follow as I tried to gain solid footing, but I got through it and learned A LOT!

Here’s some of the key backgrounds from the sequence along with a few other generic Motorcity exteriors tossed in.

Up next… Episode 03 stuff.

-Clarke

so i may have just fallen in love with this show…

only three episodes out so far but artgasms.

artgasms everywhere



eta: oooh yeah and here is a link to all of the episodes out so far: http://disney.go.com/xd/motorcity/videos/

My natural reaction to new things I like: how do I make it Dragon Age? c:

‘You know, Hawke,’ Anders said, water flowing between his fingertips, ‘you really should come up with something original to say during your moves.’
‘Like how you’re always telling people you’ll show them why waterbenders are feared?’ Hawke replied. 
Anders was quick, darting between the flames that shot from the center of Hawke’s palm—but really from the center of his chest, deep down inside of him where heat burned and burned, and complicated twists of something cool and sweet, like the sound of Anders’s voice when he was sleepy, wound their way around each simmering thing.
‘How does suck on a fireball sound to you?’ Anders asked. 
‘I’ve been waiting for you to say something like that to me for years,’ Hawke said. 
(Ever since Varric had started following their adventures, the pressure to keep up witty banter at all times was even more intense than the bending.)

the worst part about being away from tumblr for a while was missing gems like this
too perfect for words.

[life goings-ons post]

I have been gone from the internets lately… because I spent a long time agonizing and thinking about changing to an art major

and I finally decided on it!!!

i’m so excited i’m so excited i’m so scared

anyway, I made a new art tumblr for my uh, more srsbsns artings here

though this blog will still function as my primary fandom and personal space 8D

Anyway, I think it’s time to buckle down and start working my ass off! I have a very long way to go!

this movie is fucking amazing i’m actually sitting here crying from art feels that i am getting from it

IT IS ALL ON YOUTUBE YOU HAVE NO REASON NOT TO WATCH IT

I WANT THISSSSSS

I WANT THISSSSSS

SHRIEKS

just finished watching the last episode of AtLA ;_________________;

SO MANY FEELS FOR EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER MAJOR AND MINOR crying over a kid’s tv show and not even ashamed

so this is what it feels like to get an ending with closure! i had nearly forgotten after ME3.

korra, here i come!

giving into peer pressure

i’m finally doing it! i’m finally going to start watching atla so i can finally understand all these korra GIFsets going around~

(that is, assuming I have the attention span to sit through all these episodes! the last TV series I actually finished was… Sherlock season 2, because it was only 4 episodes…)

biotic boyfriend blowjobs. IN SPACE.
It’s been far too long since there was porn on this blog.
This is my bb Aakesh Shepard, sole survivor spacer sentinel, so paragon that the renegade scars closed as soon as they appeared on his face (yet he never seems to remember to call his poor mom, hmm). Don’t even get me started on the delicious dynamic of paragon!m!Shep’s sense of duty and Kaidan’s weirdness about integrity, and how that factored into the two of them waiting until the end of the world to finally resolve all that UST and hook up. Too… many… feels…

Pretty Woman - Kal Ho Naa Ho (2003)

best cover version of any song ever imho

I agree with your Kai-Leng post, but why is it that "white people" are the only racists? I couldn't help but be offended, no offense to you. I agree that racism is still a huge problem and that the meme wasn't funny, but it's not just white people. I'm really not trying to be a dick payroo, I know that you've gone through some shit for your heritage and that's wrong. But it's just as bad of a stereotype to say that white people are the only problem.

I used “white people” in that post because in my experience it was white people who have “ching-chonged” me. I don’t want to go into a long rant about how PoC can be discriminatory but not racist (because racism = power + privilege).

Frankly, I’m a lot more pissed off about stereotypes against PoC than about stereotypes against whites. Because face it, at the end of the day, how many white kids end up killing themselves because of being bulled due to their race?

EVERYONE—-MEET STEREOTYPICAL KAI LENG MEME!

I guess slapping the word ‘stereotypical’ on the label makes it an excuse to get away with stuff like this
And he’s not even Japanese :V

The only thing adding the “stereotypical” label indicates is that you (the oh-so-‘edgy’ OP) acknowledge this is some hot racist bullshit but you just don’t give a damn because you think ~it’s funny~~~~. Which just means you’re just dumb and gross no matter how you try to defend it. GTFO with this garbage.

FUCK YOU OP
and fuck every piece of shit who clicked like or reblogged this shit without criticism.
goddammit i have to put up with enough of this kind of shit in real life.
there have been white people who have tried to speak in a stereotypical Asian accent like this to me before. it is not a good feeling. i felt belittled, mocked, and yes, even a bit afraid. behind this kind of othering and alienation there’s an implicit threat of violence. i was born in america and have lived here all my life yet when that group of frat boys approached me they didn’t see a person.
they just saw a stereotype. and they were laughing the whole time. to them it was a joke, just like this is ostensibly supposed to be.
jokes can be and often are harmful.
so if you find this shit funny, unfollow me now. go, begone. and then sit your racist ass down and think long and hard about your life.

The Wedding Banquet (1993), Ang Lee

just saw this movie and it was so good ;_; hilarious yet poignant and even painfully relatable…

fun fact: my mom knows Ang Lee’s wife from their college days in Taiwan, ha.
