@Chiffonorange:
thank you! out of all the things i've drawn here, his hair was both fun and infuriating to draw since i kept having to undo and make it look good. and now that you mention it, you're probably right since krita does have animating software (i have yet to find it, though).

also OOOO i love medibang, it's actually my first "professional" art program. i drew lots of cringy cool stuff, and i have a lot of my artwork saved in the cloud!

as with ms paint, it was my gateway into digital art, and i remember spending a lot of time on ms paint drawing whatever i liked at the time (coughsfnafandmlpcoughs)! i especially loved watching online tutorials and copying what the youtubers were drawing, but over time i changed it so it resonated with how i wanted it to be.

@Totalanimefan:
:frizzhappy: thank you as well! also just gonna throw this in: i really love your current avatar! it's so bright and multicolored, and it also reminds me a lot of 2009-2012 online avatar sites. i give it a 10/10

to start this off: i downloaded a new art program, which is krita. for some reason this file is so BIG but that's krita things i guess? BUT ANYWAYS have this person... why is he feeling the grass. why is his hair everywhere.

some info (more for me to document, feel free to read):
- this is a temp character, he won't last long
- despite his calm stature he's the evil voice at the back of my head. he is not nice do not interact
- OK never mind he's a lil soft... but he's nowhere near being nice
- his counterpart looks. nearly identical but she's more pale and she's the nice one

welcome to my "art gallery" where i'll post art once every year. my workflow art-wise is inconsistent don't yell at me

BUT anyways i'll be doing whatever here (as long as it follows forum rules) so if anyone stumbles across this, you'll be seeing a lot of... whatever i decide to draw.

art content includes:
- characters
- that's it. that's all you're getting.

@Ruby: please please PLEASE do it's the best worst movie of 2017
also i just realized someone already said it x~x but still that's one of my recommendations.

OH and tusks is another bad movie, and i think it's a horror movie about some guy turning into a walrus? i haven't seen it myself, but my friend was telling me all about it and how terrible it was.
Posted in Worst Movie You’ve Ever Seen? Posted 4 years ago
the worst movie i've seen (which is arguably my favorite) has to be the velocipastor. i watched it on youtube and my god it's the legitimate worst, but that's what makes it so good. it has a 35k budget iirc, and not even in the first few minutes of the movie it has an sfx scene that they couldn't afford so they put something like "sfx of car burning here" and it felt like i bruised my brain with how hard i was laughing

@Hachi:
thank you! i'll definitely stick around for the spring event, i always love seeing what seasonal items come in! also to answer your question, i generally write whatever's on my mind, but it's always something about my characters. it's mostly an activity for me to expand their backgrounds or personalities or relationships with other characters! for the rp related question, i used to do it before the school year started, but i don't do it as often now that i'm busy with work and whatnot. i'd like to share my characters at some point, but considering how many i have, it's gonna take a lot of time to explain them all. ^^;;

@onsenmark:
hello to you too! (. v .) hope you're doing okay!

@Goblinsandtea:
hey!! glad to meet another person who also enjoys character and world-building, it'd be cool to see your work as well! iirc, i think i found this website through your account. i might be wrong because i'm not the best at remembering, but i've definitely seen you around dv earlier!
Posted in hello! new user here ^^ Posted 4 years ago
hello! as you can tell, i'm new here! i'm scarabee, but i go by gafflin! i found this place through a user's bio on dappervolk, and i go by gafflin over there.

some facts about me:

  • artist and writer! my specialty is designing characters and lore-building, and i tend to design a lot of ocs but only focus on five.
  • interests include homestuck, minecraft, role-playing, flight rising, and dappervolk! i fluctuate between interests a lot, but those are my main interests.
  • i live on the other side of the universe AKA my time zone is much more different than voltra's own!
  • useless fact: my name is a combo of scarab and bee, so if you really wanted to, you could call me by any variation of my username.


and that's all i really have to share! i hope to meet some friendly faces as well as learn about the site along the way!
