Hamlet illustrated by John Austen, 1922

oh you need a tutorial on splatters by a non-expert? then this is for you!

I have a little bit of experience with splatters both from painting a lot and from nosebleed-related health issues. So I know a little bit more about splatters than the average person.

anyways

if you’re not sure how a splatter will… well splatter then I recommend flicking paint from a brush onto paper. But not everyone can do that for various reasons. So I used both acrylic paint and watercolors for this.

I call these “side splatters”. So, the more liquid-y the splatter is the further the “tail” goes (as shown in the image). As you can notice, the splatters with acrylic paint stick together more because it’s less of a water-texture and more of a blob.

drops

basically, the middle (the “mother splat” in the image) has the most liquid in it. And it trails off into smaller drops, which have “arms” lead to them. It’s pretty common that drops and side splatters can be combined, so the mini-drops can have tails similar to side splatters.

warning: talking about bl00d in the rest

Now, specific red bodily liquids can have different textures. Nosebleeds are often more liquid-y than for example gore-related liquids (judging from gore that I’ve seen in movies). And the solution here is to google it! Because I’m not a doctor and I don’t know why the texture can change. But please, even if nosebleeds are more liquid-y the flow can still be slow. Liquid-y splatters are more sensitive to movement than other splatters. So if someone who is having a nosebleed (without anything stopping the flow) for example nods, the “liquid” will run down faster.

there are a lot of different types of splatters, but these are ones that even I struggle with sometimes. There are probably better tutorials out there.

hope this helps!

If there are Malevolent fans out there who don't mistakenly read "Kanye" every time someone writes "Kayne," please tell me your secret.

gender is a performance and im getting heckled by those old gay muppets

OMG I am so happy rn

Aspecs just keep on winnin'

A quick design I made for a shirt. Thought I might as well share it here

the three wives shared a single child but dracula just PLOWING through the crew of the demeter sir someone has to drive the boat

i love all of shakespeares gay little subplots. like yes bae give hamlet that line about kissing men. give him that close homoerotic relationship with horatio. give ophelia that bisexual girlboss energy. give mercutio that relationship with benvolio and then make him die tragically in his boyfriends arms. give macbeth that bi wife energy. give those three witches so much fucking gender

You know what’s the saddest part about this? That black queer girls have lost yet another form of representation. Black lightning? Cancelled. Batwoman? Cancelled. Naomi? Cancelled. I know what it’s like to be a young black lesbian and all I see on tv are white gays and feeling like there was no community for me. We shouldn’t have to dig, scrape and pull for representation. As always Black Lesbians deserve better.

[ID: A digital painting of Jonathan Sims standing in water. He is a thin brown man with long hair wearing an open robe, and he's submerged to his chest in water and surrounded by lotuses. He also wears a pink flower crown. Both images are of the same art, but the first is red-toned, making it feel murkier, and slim eyes open along Jon's face.

sketch 😍

currently working on it but I'm really struggling with the color so I decided to just post this for now 😅

ok so there’s a game me and my friends play called “don’t get me started” and basically someone gives another person a random topic and they have to go on an angry rant about it and it’s the best thing that’s ever happened to us at parties and car rides so I highly recommend playing sometimes with your friends

If there was a way to run SUPER MEGA AD BLOCKER on this website I fucking would

The history of corporate propaganda.

'Nobody wants to work' fails to mention the poverty wages and horrible workplaces.

Reframe the narrative: Capitalists refuse to pay thriving wages.

i spent way too long cutting the backgrounds out of these images

Every so often I venture into like Google Scholar for Frankenstein analysis and like, it’s so fucking bizarre trying to look up essays on “Frankenstein disability” and finding twenty articles about how the creature is an abandoned disabled child and nothing about how the guy who is constantly bedridden is disabled.

Is there any other way to look for these kinds of articles? Like anywhere I can find better matches? I do have a university account…

cruel how the world is constantly pressuring me to put on pants i can't thrive in these conditions

ok, but does anyone else always have that incredibly exhausting feeling of having to somehow entertain or keep the people around you happy so that you yourself don't seem boring or uninteresting to them so that the mood doesn't even slightly begin to change and people turn away from you? or am i just insecure af lol

Do you ever start to panic for no reason just to realise that you haven’t been breathing? Sometimes I feel like I’m going to have a panic attack out of nowhere and then I just start breathing again and I’m fine. What’s up with that?? I didn’t even notice I stopped breathing in the first place

Social anxiety fucking sucks. I’m 23 and I’ve never been in a relationship before because I’m afraid of talking to people or even just going out alone. I’ve seriously considered suicide before because of that (usually at night tho. I probably shouldn’t be allowed to be awake past 9pm)

Happy Saturday :))

Anyway here is the best tybalt and mercutio ever...
