green for plastic? that's so fucked up. We have the same blue for paper *but* it makes sense bc green is for compost. (plastic is yellow, which is neither here no there so it's fine.)

Oh that's not a nice thing to be surprised by :( It's hard to tell by the photo, but the flowers look neat but the outline is already faint? You can probably get it touched up by the owner (esp if you explain what happened). It's ok for trainees to train but it's ok for you to want a good tattoo.

This is driving me nuts currently while reading a webcomic. The way the protag's hair is drawn has been changing from curly to coiled over the past 7 years (nice!) but the hairline looks like for straight hair! It's def rough out there finding refs.

Also, I think it's totally fair to dislike the new look. With the first teaser I had an instinctive negative reaction (prob how a lot of ppl feel now), but then I thought eh, if I don't like it, I gain nothing. If I can find a way to appreciate the new direction, I have something to be happy about!

Feels like OoT went for the most realism you could on the N64, and looks super stylized today. New OoT is going for a stylization that still looks hyper realistic, so they're starting from opposite points going in opposite directions, if that makes sense? It's a fun approach, but not a recreation

Arden Osthof @ardenost.bsky.social · 16/09/2026
I totally get that, it looks SO different. I do like that they kept the sharp noses and features like that, but with the materials it's not at all recognizable.

I hear decaf coffee is getting good? But maybe it's still too much caffeine. I am really enjoying some chamomile tea in the afternoon lately, retired as that may sound.

iirc that video also talks about them looking like dolls, which I also thought of! I'm really really into it

Salir a la calle y harcelo regularmente! No se puede hacer amigues si solo se ve una vez (bueno, con alguna gente si, pero normalmente no). Es que es verdad que cuesta trabajo al principio, pero cada vez será mas fácil.

"we prefer to keep our story's message general" is one hell of a sentence. I love it when things happen in stories that are sort of just general things.

I am extremely down for this. My November schedule is also looking a lot better than the preceding months. Also I request the off-brand pommbären as my go to gaming with friends snack

I really love how you draw lips!! So many people skip drawing them (incl me......) but it's clearly a shame, bc they look so nice here. I am also v curious about your flower choices...

Arden Osthof @ardenost.bsky.social · 09/09/2026
I have to confess tho that I think Fenris is truly the best choice and perfect in every way, I wish I could be a well adjusted person who went for him. I really like the blush you drew him with! Merill is extremely sweet and I just don't think blood magic is such a big deal.

Arden Osthof @ardenost.bsky.social · 09/09/2026
ok SO that is a very very difficult question because Alistair is my first husband and we're still married (12th anniversary coming up!) buuuuuut Anders is my problematic blorbo who's more correct every year and also the way you gave him bottom lashes is inspired.

Arden Osthof @ardenost.bsky.social · 09/09/2026
so I think older games only got away with being obscure and difficult, because you'd have friends come over after school. so clearly, that extramedial component needs to be preserved!

and I love Zeldas face in particular. they made her look just a tad strange and not just Disney pretty and it's great

Castle town was a big moment for me too!! i couldn't imagine it feeling right with a free camera but they did it!! some stuff definitely looks weird but I'm seeing it through the lens of those fake unreal engine remakes of the 2010s and those are kinda nostalgic now!

Arden Osthof @ardenost.bsky.social · 08/09/2026
honestly god tier choice. what could be more nostalgic than filtering it through the first wave of nostalgia

some of the materials could look less shiny, but I really love the combination of stylization and hyper realism, I'm extremely into it
