Undertale is invading my Dreams (weird fucking nightmare)
General | Posted 10 years agoSo--for whatever reason--I woke up at 4am from the most bizarre nightmare I have had in a few months. I guess it's simply too out there for me to not to talk about, so I hope you find it entertaining in some way or another! I should probably mention that it's really strange, violent at times, and is vaguely disturbing (or at least was to me), and the whole thing reeks of bad fanfiction, but...
Let's begin. The details are a bit hazy at the start, but here's what I remember: I was on some sort of vacation with my mother, grandparents, and aunt to a resort of some kind, I remember there were mainly old people there. The accomodations were mainly small cabin or shed-like buildings that were cheaply constructed and abysmally tiny, but they were comfortable enough inside... Er, somehow. It was also very snowy (just like it is in real life, presently) and cold, we were staying at the top of a hill... There were a lot of little events before this--like eating at a small cafeteria with my family that had weird prepackaged food, listening to my grandma tell me that my life choices are incorrect, being forced to clear snow off the roof and sidewalk of our cabin by cats--but you didn't come here for that! You came here for Undertale. So, on to that part:
I was texting Nux idly throughout the kinda boring family trip, like I often do when I'm on a boring family trip. I had a strange book I was reading (I don't remember if I had brought it on purpose or just found it mysteriously) that I can only describe as a child's school book. It was all about Undertale, and got weirder and weirder as I continued to read it... Now, it was probably about as thick as your average coloring or activity book, and made of about the same material... I forget what the cover was like, but I do remember the inside, if only for the weirdness.
Started out sort of tame. There were things like puzzles, mazes, random color-able illustrations of the characters, and some logic problems and basic stuff like that. It also had factoids here and there about Undertale that were mostly things I knew. Things about Boss monsters... The Underground, etc. Then eventually I got to a page that had more advanced problems, puzzles I couldn't figure out and weird riddles... I'd say the book went from a 3rd grade level to a 7th grade level in a few pages. Some of the exercises were already done too, though the one I remember most clearly was a few diagrams of piano keys that said above them "Sans and Papyrus' Secret Code!" and the keys had been scribbled all over with weird notations I didn't understand. Somehow I knew it was actually the skelebros handwriting (guess it was in the right fonts :U), and I thought something to myself like "Oh ok, so they can speak to eachother in musical notation. That makes sense. :I"
But anyway, the plot thickens. So I keep reading this weird little book, and occasionally text Nux about whatever it is we were talking about, and then I came to the last section of the book. Suddenly it looked like a highschool level textbook, with the chapter header "The Language of Odeon," and a whole lot of reading to do. I had this profound sense of dread when I got to this section, but I kept reading anyway because dream and because yolo
Apparently "Odeon"--in whatever weird logic this dream was following--is the name for the language that skeletons use (Oh ok?), no matter what font or format their text comes in. The next page had a series of diagrams--like you often see in linguistic textbooks-- showing a conversation between a kid Sans (Oh ok??) and his dad (OH OK???) that had an English, standard font version of the conversation, and then an apparent "Odeon" version. I remember that Sans' dad was some pretty srs looking cowboy skeleton (I'm not even going to bother with the "oh ok" anymore) complete with hat, poncho, skelehorse and everything, and the english version of his text was full of pretty hokey western lingo and phoenetic representations of a southern accent... Kid sans basically was the same as he normally is, just smaller. The conversation was like... Sans asking his dad if he could do something like climb a tree or go spelunk a cave or something kiddy and silly, and his dad being like "lmao little buddy r u sure that's a good idea u might run into some varmints" or something... Then the "Odeon" version of the conversation had Sans' text in its normal comic sans, and his dad was talking in like... Illustrations of totally random things. I seem to recall an illustration of a quill pen and a treasure chest, but I have no idea what the hell this had to do with their conversation. But apparently the meaning was the same, so ok then.
So I--of course--texted Nux all this stuff, and was like "lol what" and Nux was like "oh yeah I read about this on the wiki. cool rite?" and I was like "o ok"
Somehow I also gleaned that Sans' mom was named "Bamboo" and her font was some kind of weird chinese text (Wat, Sans is asian: fanon confirmed), but she sorta didn't do anything and just kinda was there. I finished reading the book and decided (because, again, yolo) to explore a nearby abandoned cabin, because apparently the "real" world still existed and I was interested in it. Creppy cabin looked like the others on the outside, but then it was a weird mansion inside, way bigger than it should have been, and full of... Puzzles. ... Ok.
So I was exploring, solving puzzles, and doing all kinds of random pointless shit, and there were totally just ghosts there. Not ghosts like sentient apparations, just weird afterimages of the past... Or so I seemed to know. Like in most dreams, I just sort of "knew" things without any logic behind them... But, I digress!
So I get to the library of this weird monster mansion and--so far so good--it seems pretty benign... Dusty and spooky, but benign. Suddenly I get that weird feeling of dread again as I solved the next puzzle, and then I see something that makes me dread totally justified: I see ghosts of "Sans' dad" beating his "mom," and I feel an overpowering sense of "ok it's time to get the fuck out of here"
Ok so at this point, everything goes apeshit. The floor opens up into spike pits, bookshelves come alive and start eating people (because suddenly there were other people here???), and chandeliers turn all pointy and evil and swingy, it's like some kind of death obstacle course. I'm running for my life and just barely manage to get out as a table is galloping after me with a buzz saw attached to it (hahah ok what the fuck looney tunes special is this seriously)... And for WHATEVER REASON I remember this last puzzle really well, if only because it was 100 percent stupid and made no sense. The exit was this tall white marble hallway with these weird tall statues, and the door had a giant cartoon meme looking picture of Hitler above it. You had to make a face that mimicked the weird face the Hitler portrait was making, (I'm serious. I couldn't make this up. If I did make this up, I would hopefully not make up something so stupid.) and somehow that shit was more forgiving than pokemon amie and I made it out of there alive. Despite all of that, I was still relatively calm and just feeling sort of upset about the thing with Sans' parents, and I went back to my cabin to start packing my things to go home.
I don't really remember exactly how this happened, but I seem to recall that Sans appeared and cryptically told me that he killed his father, to which my mental response was "are you serious, this sounds like some kind of plot I'd use for a story" because apparently I am self aware enough in these bizarre dreams to make fun of myself. But! At this point I remember a lot less and what I do remember is weirdly disturbing, and is likely what woke me up. I don't really remember enough details to go into, but there was some lady that got "punished" by having her body contorted in weird ballet positions in midair, and then all her limbs were disassembled and carried through some weird factory. She then was done her punishment and her body was reassembled, and she got to fulfill her dreams of running a bakery... I remember thinking it was some sort of clever analogy for hell, purgatory, and heaven, but then I woke up and wondered what the fuck I was smoking.
... I have no idea what that was. I have no idea why I decided to share it either! I should probably go back to sleep, but I'm a bit concerned about more weird nightmares. Oh well! Better weird than scary, I spose

The List of Questionable Content
General | Posted 10 years agoTo streamline my profile a little, I've decided to transfer the list of "shit I draw that some might be uncomfortable with" to a journal! This would be that journal. I'm not going to list absolutely everything because that's impossible, but these are some of the notable ones
-Porn/Fetish Topics
~Noncon and Dubcon (non consensual or dubiously consensual scenarios; also known as rape fantasy, or ravishment. Noncon and dubcon content will be tagged with [noncon] or [dubcon] in front of the title as warning, and a warning thumbnail may also be applied where I deem appropriate)
~Ferals (characters with animal-like builds; I work with toony stuff like pokemon and ponies, or fantasy creatures like dragons.)
~Living Dead (sexualized vampires, ghosts, zombies, skeletons, and similar)
~BDSM (between soft and hardcore. More intense pieces will have [BDSM] or similar in the title as a warning as I deem appropriate)
~Blood Play (erotic drinking/spilling of blood)
~Pokephillia (sex between human and nonanthro: feral pokemon X trainer, feral pokemon X anthro)
~Age Difference (both partners of legal age, but one notably older than the other)
~Size Difference (pairings of unusually large and small characters)
~Body Modifications (tattoos, piercings, surgery scars, etc)
-The Other Stuff
~Mild Violence and Gore (Often: blood. Sometimes: burns, dismemberment, self-harm. Rarely: torture, guts, mutilation, and broken bones. Newer pieces will be tagged with [Graphic] [Blood] or similar in front of the title as I deem appropriate)
~Dysmorphism and Disfigurement (amputations, birth defects, scars, etc. Particularly intense examples will have [Scarification] or similar in the title as a warning as I deem appropriate)
~Themes of warfare (mild)
~Drug and Alchohol use and abuse (mild)
~Abuse (mental and/or physical)
~Emotional trauma, themes of depression (Not super heavy, but it is there)
~Body Horror (gruesome transformation, disease and decay, and changes in form. Not super grotesque, but it is there.)
~Mortality Themes of death, dying, and loss.
That covers what I tend to show the most with my art, comics, and storytelling, though I'll often do other things not listed here on commission or trade. Incest, hyper, breast expansion, lactation... Lots of things. Too many things for me to accurately list and keep track of, honestly! If you're looking to commission me and you're curious about what subject matter I will or won't draw, feel free to ask; I'm honest about what I think I can do, what I am comfortable working on, and I do my best to treat people with respect: no kinkshaming, no judgement. Anonymity or privacy is free if you ask for it!
As a general rule: I won't draw violence, sexual, or kink content directed towards personal OCs whose owners haven't given permission. I will draw lewd fanart of major franchise characters on request, excluding dubcon, noncon, or intense out-of-character violence. I also don't draw underage characters in pornographic situations unless they're aged up.
There... You have now been informed to death... What fun!

The New Year Cometh!
General | Posted 10 years agoHello again, guys and gals! Another year, another chance to improve... Did you all have a good year? I hope so!
Let's see which of my goals I accomplished, and which I decidedly did not accomplish :'>
~participate privately in NaNoWriMo ☑ I did participate! I didn't meet my word quota, but I did still make a full piece. The only catch is, I didn't actually upload it yet... BUT I can fix that if I just find the nerve to share it >_>
~make larger, more striking scenery ☑ Proud to say I've started to make great strides here!
~finish the palette challenge ☐ Barely did any work on that this year ;~; It slipped my mind! But I still have made great leaps in improvement with my digital painting and art as a whole, so there is that!
~improve turnaround rate on my commissions ☐ absolutely did not improve ;^; bah
~IRON ARTIST ☑ fuck yea I did it
Another 3/5 year, eh? I guess that's just the kinda person I am, ehehe... Always a C student!
This year, my goals are:
To Improve on painting digitally and traditionally, I really want to work harder at this! It's something I enjoy, I should be doing it more and getting even better! Watercolor, acrylic, maybe even oil!
Also to Show more variance in character designs. I feel like I've been stagnating, I want to impose more variety in the builds of (especially) male characters! I wanna see more pudge, more muscle, less pudge, less muscle, and other more interesting attributes! As an optional bonus: draw more than 2 kind of penis shape, damnit
Further, to Become better at working with semi-realistic animals! This is something I still struggle with. I want to draw better ferals, more believably bestial critters.
I should also Start set designing and working on layouts for homes, towns, etc! This will be important for my next goal, which is to...
Get cracking on sequential art. I'd like to do one-shots, vignettes, and other simple comics in the upcoming year, maybe even finish the ones I was previously working on!
Wish me luck! Let's aim for more than 3/5 in 2016!
Share your goals below, if you're so inclined! And most important: happy new year!

Wish me luck! Let's aim for more than 3/5 in 2016!
Share your goals below, if you're so inclined! And most important: happy new year!
Let's have a talk!
General | Posted 10 years agoHello.
How are you.
No, but it's very nearly new years! Time to make some new resolutions, and admit defeat on the ones I didn't accomplish! Also time to celebrate the ones I did accomplish
I have to work on following through with things like goals and resolutions, commissions, and contests. As of right now, I'm going to remain on indefinite hiatus and work on backlog, though I am going to officially drop owed free sketches from Free Sketch Fridays. (unless I already said this and forgot, lol srry) I still plan on doing the contest winner for Percival's birthday, as well as the "challenge me!" ideas I was given (though truthfully I did already do a bunch of those and just haven't finished)
In the spirit of self improvement... I ask you, what do you think I should work to improve upon artistically in the new year? I'm thinking of starting with another Iron Artist, I feel like that was the cause for the bulk of my improvement last year. I might even opt to do a monthly "challenge me" series, where I take commenter suggestions on tackling new and different subjects. But, what general things do you think I need to improve at? Pose... Composition... Anatomy... Short characters, tall characters, colors, buildings, etc! I'd love to hear some opinions on this matter, if you'd be so kind as to share <3

General | Posted 10 years agoBack from vaycay! Posted some art, hope to make some more soon!
Have an OC meme I'm gonna fill out (now that I'm home and have the time), and finally have a thumbnail for that overhyped NaNo fueled short story I keep mentioning! Now, all I need is one final edit, and the balls to post it! ... We might be waiting awhile longer...
Also holidays and all that, wow. Hope yours are happy, whenever and wherever they may fall!

The Weekly Report
General | Posted 10 years agoI'm leaving on another long internetless trip this weekend, so I'm going to make the most of the time I have connected to that sweet sweet lifeblood! I'll probably be streaming on thursday or friday, and ONE of those may end up being a request stream! I know you lil devils have been missing those, and I have been as well! But I make no promises, we'll have to see what happens. It'll be fun and exciting! An adventure for you and me! Wow, think of the possibilities!!!
or don't, it doesn't really matter
On my voyage, I will be taking digital and traditional art supplies, as well as a boat load of DVDs and music. I'll be enjoying myself in the fresh mountain air from the 5th to the 12th! I'll miss y'all, but I think this trip might be just what I need to finish clearing my head and lifting my spirits. I'm really hoping for some inspiring scenery, some good relaxation, and plenty of time to draw, write, think, and do all that stuff I love to do. Just a shame I can't take you with me ;v;
Hope your holidays are merry and bright!

So off we go, to the fantabulous world of Drasus' thanksgiving, which is doubling as Drasus' christmas with faraway relatives... As every year! Gotta love the holidays, hm? I'm busy organizing myself a computer full of cooltunes, sorting all my saucy content away from prying eyes, packing clothes and amusements, and wrapping up my christmas presents. Also working a double on tuesday, ack!
But, it should be... ok! Mostly~ I predict I will be content until the third day away from the internet, at which point my patience will be wearing thin, and I'll be looking forward to Sunday like I have never looked forward to a Sunday in my entire life. You know, the usual!
In summary: I'm going to be off the grid from this wednesday until this sunday. No stream, no posting, no cool stuff. Another week of laziness! ...Happy Thanksgiving?
Here's hoping for a cornucopia ofporn art aplenty when I get back! (because without drawing and writing, I will probably not survive the trip with sanity intact)

Malaise
General | Posted 10 years agoFantastic word, bad feeling.
I'm feeling pretty horrible right now, I think I have been for the last few weeks but I'm not sure anymore. I try not to let these things interfere with my online goings on, but I don't think I can hold it back anymore, I just feel so shitty. It's fair to explain where I've been, I think... Even though the only place I've been is right here, doing nothing
Finally finished that writing piece I mentioned yesterday, but feel too afraid of failure to publish it
Drawing little bits and pieces, had a wonderful productive sketch night last night, but now I feel too down to work on any of them substantially
I'm sure things will resume in time, but I just want to know... How long?

So I have 1500 submissions now
General | Posted 10 years agoFeels pretty good, man. People always told me not to give up on my art, and I'm glad that over 1500 works later, I'm still having fun!
Here's to many more, eh?

Writings of a Mad Sushi
General | Posted 10 years agoNow that all that frustration is out of my system... I'm happy to announce that my first little project for NaNo is done! 9900 words... Though not all of them were written this month >~>
Once I feed it through my discerning panel of discerning friendly proofreaders and make a lil thumbnail, I'll be posting it for your reading pleasure. Gosh, I'm nervous! But, I hope you'll enjoy reading "the fucks (redo).odt!" UH, ER, I MEAN "Real Actual Title"
