Look how nice my hair looks today!
I have not been out of the house today, so nobody got to see it. I am sharing with tumblr instead.
So there.
Question with 2 notes
megaparsecs asked: Hey! Is it ok if I use your Dave<3Rose<3Terezi stuff to make us some team icons?
Go for it!
I’ll go ahead and add that if anybody wants to grab anything I’ve drawn and turn it into icons etc, that is okay by me :)

what is the point of photorealism if you can just take a photo?
I love this question because I know the answer!
- Because not everyone can do it. We wouldn’t have invented cameras if we could all paint photorealistically.
- Because it’s closer to abstract art than you might think! Abstraction, by definition, is a departure from reality. Absolute reality is impossible to achieve, so a convincing substitute for reality may be the most abstract thing of all. It’s so far from reality that you believe you are looking at another reality.
- In other words, “I thought it was a photo.” :P
- Most photorealism isn’t actually photorealistic. There are lots of ways to deviate.
- Consistency! This is the most important reason (for me, anyway). Photorealism is a continuous decision from beginning to end. That means that every mark you make is part of an ongoing choice to maintain the same level of photorealism throughout an entire painting. When people say I’m not making choices or being “artistic” as a photorealist, I say NAY YOU ARE WRONG. This isn’t start-and-stop painting; I am making a continuous decision. I am deciding exactly how photorealistic to be, and I have to keep deciding that until I’m done. The strand of hair I paint next must be exactly as photorealistic as the upper lip I just painted, and no more and no less.
- Photorealistic art is a demonstration of consideration. A camera spends fractions of a second looking at a subject. A photorealistic artist might spend hours or days. We make you blush!
- Basically, though, it’s like asking why climb a mountain or run a marathon.
- You do it so you can say that you did it. You drew what you saw, and you drew all of it.
Other kinds of art are just as great, obviously. But I get asked this a lot. :)
Also it is fun! And you learn. The stuff I know best is the stuff I have drawn the most carefully.
(I am not a photorealist, but I do/have done a lot of realistic drawing.)

Look at these fantastic problem children.
(Um, ignore me, I am never going to bang out a real personal artistic style, I steal motifs like a magpie in a room full of shiny objects.)

Anonymous asked: that great picture of eridan and sollux you did - what brushes/program did you use for that? :0
Thanks anon!
I use a really old version of Photoshop Elements, and its chalky brush with pressure sensitivity set to size.

hopefully pastes up wanted ad, part the second
We are currently looking for a sixth mod for HSO 2012. The challenge is becoming increasingly difficult to run with just the five of us (+ our two tumblr mods), and frankly, I’m not sure it will be feasible for us to finish out the season the way things are now. So I am turning to the Tumblas!
More specifically: you, the sixth mod, would sit in admin chats with the rest of us, help hash out decisions, and do front-end PR work, including responding to questions/concerns on Tumblr and DW, as well as through email. All five of us also help out with the back-end as much as we can—that’s stuff like scoring, processing team changes and dropouts, and double-checking main round entries—but we’re less concerned about that, as it is much easier to find more people to do number-crunching or data entry should we require them! We are mostly looking for someone who will help us Deal with People.
An ideal mod has grace under fire, self-restraint, the ability to respond to comments in a way that is both meticulous and measured (we will help with this! we totally vet each other’s comments), patience or the ability to fake patience, free time, energy, and determination. If you think you fit the bill, please email me (not the HSO!) at twopartinvention at gmail.
SOMEBODY
PLEASE…
volunteer for this
(somebody who isn’t trying to get a teaching job this summer and thus isn’t me)
yo i know a lot of the mod crew and they are good people, please give them a hand!
I have time for this (graduated, part-time job!), and I am a mature adult with people skills, and I really want HSO to work, but I am completely terrified to volunteer so I am going to reblog this and stew about it for a while.

Requests! →
Hello lovelies!
I am feeling a bit adrift this week (graduation, return of the hated long-distance, etc) and I plowed through my last batch of requests really fast.
Drop a request in my ask and I’ll do my best to fill it in a timely manner! I can do Homestuck, Avengers, Supernatural, Doctor Who, Sherlock, Good Omens…and probably some other things, drop an ask and I’ll try.
