Tumblr I will hit you I swear, just let me get this Baron Samedi picture on my blog RIGHT NOW.
January 2012
So glad you like! I’ve been trying to do less textures lately because I thought they hid too much and made my stuff look choppy and dumb, but I do like the effect on this one.
I feel like a horrible fan for saying this, but i really don’t like Monster High’s Cupid design, and i get kind of excited when i realize that all of the dolls people are dying to get, are all the ones i could honestly care less to own. (Except for Abbey. Abbey = <3).
Give me a Ghoulia and a Lagoona any day over Nefera and Toralei.
I’m a big old dork and got super-excited to see Nefara and Toralei at my local Target the other day, just because they’re pretty hard to find at the moment. But I restrained myself from buying. Cute designs, but don’t need to own. I did however snatch up an Operetta because I am insane and whatever ROCKABILLY PHANTOM OF THE OPERA this should enrage me so much but it makes me happy instead.
I’ve got three out of my four major DO-WANTS, just missing Abbey >:| And then will… try to restrain myself from acquiring the other designs I still kinda like but don’t NEED.

Was just sent this in a note on DA. Here’s a bit of life advice- don’t treat art like it isn’t worth paying for. It’s one thing to ask someone for a favor, understanding that you’re putting them out and that they’re giving you something, but it’s another thing to act as if the privilege of making art for your wedding is payment in and of itself.
As has been said by wiser artists than I, people die of exposure.
I get requests like this all the time on DA/elsewhere. They’re so beautifully stupid, I have to reblog other incidences whenever I see them.
*LAUNCH TABLE THROUGH WINDOW*
WHY ART BLOCKS. WHY. I WILL KICK YOUR ASS. And then sob because the shit I drew to get out of fail-funk looks like butt and I don’t want to show anybody and it feels like wasted time buh.
caffeineandcarpaltunnel replied to your post: Ugh I hate the atla confessions blog. Go away you…
lol especially the ones about hating korra’s bulky build
I hate that fandom so much it makes me sick. I hate participating in it…
Ugh pretty much. I was super involved in fandom during Avatar, but I’m… just gonna have to stay far away from it this time, I can see. I also browsed that community for three seconds and wanted to hit my head on something.
BAWW BAWW BUT KORRA SHOULD BE MORE FEMININE. CHARACTERS SHOULD HAVE BLONDE HAIR. OR MAYBE SOME BLUE-HAIRED people, wouldn’t that be kawaii to the max?! ^___^ But it should be set in America too, hurr!
I just. Rage. Get away from my show, treat it nice or you can’t watch it >:c
7. Biggest turn off(s)
Clinginess and wibbling shyness :| I like to be around people, but I’m just as happy to be left alone for periods of time as well, or just hanging out with no pressure to do anything.
Also I guess I have a somewhat abrasive personality because I tend to attract the weenies who roll over and are like YES MISTRESS ANYTHING YOU SAY MISTRESS. Not my bag. Have a spine.
18. Phobia
Don’t have a phobia exactly. As far as stuff that just scares me in general… things you can’t see or only ever have fleeting glimpses of. Sooo like… Bigfoot 8| And Slenderman. SHUT UP. Some dark man-sized shape darting through the trees at night, from the corner of my vision? Yeah, I’d shit myself and be in the next county in seconds, thanks.
6. Favorite Band
Ahhh-hah I could never ever pick, my musical tastes are so broad. At the moment I’m listening to a lot of Korpiklaani and Grateful Dead. Not counting bands, Johnny Cash, Tom Waits, and K’naan too.
I think Tool has the highest playcount on my list because it’s often my go-to drawing music.
12. Ideas of a perfect date
Not really a date person, I’m fine forever with just chilling being with another person, but I guess the standard ‘eat stuff, watch stuff!’ is always good with me. I really like co-hiking with other people too, if they’re not big whiny babies about it and will actually keep up.
I think this is 1 and 9 and not 19, SO:
1. The meaning behind my URL
Nothing particularly deep haha, it’s just the art variant of my “lizbeast” handle I use on a bunch of galleries. I’ve never really had a character or handle that I want to stick with and follow me around other than simply my name. I already groan every time I see ‘aureath’ in my DA URL, because that name has no meaning or connection to me anymore, but I’m too lazy to move my whole gallery.
And I like to draw animals, monsters, anthros, etc. so. BEASTLY ART.
9. Tattoos I want
The one I’m planning on next is an ouroboros, with a cockatrice in place of a snake/dragon. Because everyone needs a demented chicken of eternity inked onto their skin forever.
1. The meaning behind my URL
2. Weakness
3. Bestfriend(s)

Go for it.
Sure let’s do it, since I don’t feel like making any actual content tonight.
I have been crap about reading my dash the past few days. I hope I didn’t miss anything exciting 8|
You know you shouldn’t be online when those feelings of self-doubt become out and out jealousy, fear and that feeling of being That Other person.
Basically full of self-loathing and irrationality.
Should be back on meds by Friday though so all’s good.
Also have some art, I guess, because y’all need something.
Hush your mouth your art is gorgeous uuuugh you’ve gotten so good! I friggin’ love those dinosaurs, also your bird/gryphon anatomy BUT MOSTLY that gemsbok dragon-looking creature.
Give it to me, I’m starting a breeding program for them right now B|
[this is actually very hard to force myself to do because I was SERIOUSLY against this in the first place…but I can’t stop this train now]
~You can donate money of any amount to my paypal: chibi.coco@gmail.com
~No I don’t have other methods of donation set up, I wasn’t ever intending to take…
Not in, like, any of these fandoms but I donated anyway because holy hell, the support this is garnering is just really amazing and uplifting to see. $17k in this short amount of time?
That’ll do, fandom, that’ll do.

Good looking car there, Liz. And the hands.
Flawless B|
It looks like it would be difficult to fit in the car with him all over the place like that. Maybe that’s just me. :o9 I guess he could sit in the back and the front.
Moreover, who is driving? Hemlock ain’t got any damned feet.
AND WHERE DID THEY GET A CAR IN GORGONAE-VERSE.
These are questions that need answering.
I hate it when blogs have copy pasted hyperlinks saying shit like
This blog is AMAZING TO FOLLOW
FOLLOW THIS BLOG ITS THE BEST THING EVER
OMG THIS BLOG IS WORTH STALKING
shut the fuck up
i will click your shitty blog when i have the desire to
telling me that your blog is worth following in caps works against getting my follow anyway, that’s just me though
Especially when the percent original content of the blog is ZERO.
First of all, thank you!
Secondly, well… I had a big crazy response typed out, but you know what I am actually just not so good with the word-making or thought-organizing, and a lot of my advice wasn’t gender-specific. So I’m going to instead direct you to this awesome link:
http://www.overthinkingit.com/2010/10/11/female-character-flowchart/
There are stereotypes for almost every kind of female character, they fall into them even when you’re not meaning to, and I’ve seen them done really well or really poorly so far be it from me to tell you to avoid any one thing.
My two big things to focus on in order to avoid making an annoying, overworked character are FLAWS and FACETS. One of my favorite exercises to grab one of those character memes floating around, the more ridiculous and complicated the better, and just start examining every aspect of the character’s life bit by bit. Even the tiny insignificant details can end up being the difference between a cardboard cut-out stereotype and one with more relatable personality and ‘soul’.
Hope that helps a little!
