Harpy and other art related things :)
Added 2024-05-18 12:38:28 +0000 UTCHappy Saturday everyone, I hope you all have a great weekend! Here’s the art of our recent harpy girl- she thanks you again for helping her after the egg-cident lol. Going off the poll it looks like next week there’s a plushie girl in the works. I’m definitely looking forward to that since I think drawing it will be fun :)
On the topic of art, lately I’ve found myself in a bit of a slump. Not the kind where you want to stop drawing but the kind where you feel like you can do better. I think being in the spot where I’m still looking for a job has given me more time at home to think and I’m getting in my head a bit. Either way, I’ve been posting some fanart on Twitter/X in hopes of getting that feeling out :)
As usual feel free to post your song recommendations this week- any genre is welcome. I’ve been a fan of this artist for a good while now and really enjoy their work. You may have heard their song “After Dark” before but I’m recommending “Habits” by Mr. Kitty :)
Have a great weekend Ali cats ❤️

Thank you Skelly, I appreciate that a lot! I do tend to get in my own head a bit but I try to tell myself to shut up haha! I think it’s good to want to do better so long as it’s within reason. I have to tell myself that nothing will ever be perfect but getting better with each new thing I make is a good goal :D You know, I knew I had watched that Career Opportunities before. I legit thought it was the MV for a bit until I saw it was uploaded by a different person lol. I liked Castle Rat! It gave me a cool 80’s/early 90’s vibe and I love stuff like that. Like Arty mentioned, I looked up the band and they seem to have a neat little lore/story :P

2024-05-20 03:18:22 +0000 UTCOh yes, I’m very much like that with how I draw girls! I draw what I find attractive- which is usually more curvy. I find it fun drawing but I’m usually more attracted to what I don’t have haha! XD I’ve been like that with my audios too- case in point being the wolf girl. I knew the lawnmower sound wasn’t TOO bad but it still bugged me so I wanted to redo it. Like you said though, I think it’s good to be like that within reason as it can help us improve! :) I love Just Pretend! Honestly that’s probably one of my favorite songs by Bad Omens :P I had never seen the video until now though and it was good but sad ; o ; Not sure if you’ve heard it but V.A.N is really good too!

2024-05-20 02:49:56 +0000 UTCMy weekend is still going :D and next weekend will be another 3 day weekend, and then a couple weeks after that, I'm taking a week off cause I'll be turning 31 on June 10th! lol still have no idea what I'ma do then lol and I saw your post about that on youtube! lol looking forward to the audio! glad your weekend was pretty good though! well... I have to admit.. I had to google who Lain was... I can see it though, guessing Lain from Serial Experiments Lain?! I guess Megumin is the first person to come to mind since Konosuba is so popular lol

2024-05-20 02:12:15 +0000 UTCThanks a bunch, I’m glad you like it! :D Good to hear you had a nice weekend too. Mine was pretty good aside from my neighbor’s mowing making a surprise appearance in a recording xD I managed to redo it though so hopefully it’s good this time! Everyone keeps saying I look like Megumin! I was going for Lain but I think my hair is a little too thick for it. Maybe I should grow out the other strand and just accept the Megumin look, I’m ok with that too :P

2024-05-20 02:06:24 +0000 UTCYou can never have too many plushies- no one will ever change my mind on this! lol. I swear music made for games or just in games in general are always the best. Hell, sometimes I listen to soundtracks of games I’ve never played just because they sound good :P The Trip40 song was awesome! It took a bit to get going but when it did I really liked it :P Before I even listened to E-Girl Bounce the name Pinkii stood out to me- who I think is the girl singing. YouTube recommended me a song by her one day and I had no idea why as I didn’t even know who she was. I literally said “wtf, why am I getting recommending this?” I won’t say what song because of the name but it was funny xD

2024-05-20 01:09:48 +0000 UTCThanks for the recommendation Kai! I enjoyed the yeah, yeah, yeah song, the video was pretty funny and I loved the chill vibe and lyrics. Same with My Cosmic Autumn Rebellion. Definitely the kind of music to just relax or drive to :)

2024-05-20 01:07:16 +0000 UTCI thought the singer was a dude with 80s rock style hair haha! Then I heard *her* sing and I was like :o Looked up the band images then it made more sense haha! Cool song recommendation!

2024-05-19 10:14:56 +0000 UTCStop all that thinking nonsense it ain't never done anybody no good anyways. Getting in my own head has always been a bad time for me but I've found that recently watching something that inspires me seems to rid me of it, so maybe that might help, hopefully you can get out of that slump easy. After Dark has a ton of fan music videos made for it but my favorite is one that takes scenes from a movies, just look up Mr. Kitty After Dark Career Opportunities. But my recommendation is going to be for a group I just found yesterday, it's called Cry for Me by Castle Rat. Now when you hear that the band is named Castle Rat, you're probably thinking the singer is some gross dude, but you might be surprised.

2024-05-18 22:10:56 +0000 UTCVery attractive harpy girl you've drawn here! Wee question if you don't mind. Are you like me in the sense that you try to draw girls that you yourself find attractive? I sorta have that mindset of "if they don't catch your eye, how can they catch others'?" I'm glad your slump isn't anything too negative, just a little "hmm, I can do better!" and that's a good thing. It's also normal as well, I definitely experienced something like... literally yesterday actually. I decided I'd start over my current artwork because I decided I didn't like how the character looks at the moment. So, totally relatable! I swear I might've heard 'Habits' before somewhere, it sounds so familiar. Or maybe it's just deja vu? I can't say haha Good song anyway! I have no idea what to recommend to you. I've nothing new. I'll just resort to BAD OMENS again if that's alright :P 'Just Pretend' was the first song I heard from them as it was the one TJ showed me; introducing me to the band. Have a listen! And have a good day!

2024-05-18 19:26:21 +0000 UTCSo far so good with the weekend! Took a half day from work yesterday, got a day off on Monday so a nice 3.5 day weekend! :D hoping yours ends up going well! And plushie, ehh? Sounds fine by me! And that's a bummer about the slump you're in.. I hope you get out of it soon! On an off note, I completely forgot you had a Twitter haha and I just had to take a look and your art is great btw! Also ... you sure you're not trying to be Megumin..? Lol

2024-05-18 17:23:51 +0000 UTCCan't wait to add another plushie to the collection. You'll get along with my foxy just finely, even if you may be on the right side of my bed instead of the left. Song suggestions was interesting, kinda nice. Not gonna lie, I think I've probably over estimated my choices with songs, BUT I have come back to listening to music that's based off a game basically from rhythm of the music, I've got a list of the bosses songs(which will all be for next week, including the updated bosses, so you can listen to them in order), but for this one, I'm gonna give just a natural song I lasted listened to from it. May be a dead givaway of the game but next week I'll explain it that way you understand the context of it. Clash by Trip40. (You know what, fuck it I might as well throw in another song that's literally just unrelated to the context of the stuff above to. I just listen to it because it's just anime vibes I get with this one, despite with the thumbnail art on it. Thats also for some reason another consideration for whenever Alichu uses this as a thumbnail art because why not :P ) E-Girl Bounce by Shiki TMNS Music. Also, I've started to figure out my type of genre of music that I've been listening to, two of the main ones being from Mori Calliope and DemonDice. That or I just enjoy their music criteria and such.
