Commission for @rydiaasuka.bsky.social! A Claude/Ashe scene inspired by her fic, All that is Gold does not Glitter (archiveofourown.org/works/509032...). It had been a long time since I drew something this detailed and colorful, I really enjoyed working on it. Thank you for commissioning me! :)

So paradoxically, drawing the same composition twice or thrice is less taxing and faster, than trying to make it perfect from the get go.

Mine's similar category to OP's: drawing second, cleaner sketch over the rough sketch, often saves more time and mental energy than jumping straight from draft to lineart. It helps figure out details and line placement without the pressure of trying to get it right instantly that lineart may impose.

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑

Frustrated little dude gripping a pencil saying “how do I pack this down into something I can actually share?” While swirling rainbows labeled “INFINITE POTENTIAL” float around them.

Little dude frowns at a tiny grey box, exclaiming “all that work for THIS?!”

Little dude shoves the grey box into another little guy’s hands; Frowning, stomping off, and saying “Here you go, I made this, it sucks.”

Second little dude cracks open the box, swirling rainbows project out onto their face.

Second little dude stares in awe at all the swirling rainbows now floating around them.

Starting to think beginner's luck is absolutely a thing in DS3. Not just for first boss attempts, but trying new PvP builds, too.

Every time a friend's art goes viral I'm reminded how some people break their backs over the algorithm/trends/etc, others just draw their hyperfixation and succeed

It genuinely feels like Hosts come in in groups XD Either you invade a bunch of mean players in a row, or a bunch of nice and wholesome ones in a row, or a bunch of 3w1 blenders in a row XD

With numbers on their side, thoughtlessly and blindly rushing down and stun-locking the opponent gets rewarded, both in PvE and PvP. No substantial learning or effort required when it works so well for them.

Man, on a side note, lack of friendly fire in between host and his phantoms is imo a serious mistake, considering the hp advantages they already have.

Me every hour of every day: I should make and post more sketches, I have too many ideas to only focus on the ones that make the "full illustration" cut Me, the moment I have a perfectly serviceable sketch: this needs at least 10 more hours of polishing to not be an embarrassment

Dark Souls is a very serious and grim game, totally not ruled by Looney Tunes logic, and I definitely have more than one braincell.

But people are so ready just keep talking like they know anything about technicalities, about stylization, about mistakes, about anything, just bc they maybe read a post online somewhere. Meanwhile all they do is showing their ignorance, and hurting others in the process.

Marcianek @marcianek.bsky.social · 14/01/2025

Some other examples would include "this part looks too blurry compared to the rest!"... meanwhile using Transform tool or Liquify repetitively can and will cause the lineart to degrade in quality ever so slightly... Same goes for images getting compressed when posted online. And so on. And so forth.

Marcianek @marcianek.bsky.social · 14/01/2025

About "quirks" I've mentioned, for example I saw someone imply an artwork is generated, because brushstrokes looked "weird". Meanwhile said brushstrokes are the result of simply using a basic SAI2 pencil brush with "Water Fringe" effect enabled, that gives the brushstroke a sharper, darker outline.

Marcianek @marcianek.bsky.social · 14/01/2025

Sad thing is, I sometimes see them coming from artists, too. Usually younger or less experienced ones that haven't mastered certain digital art programs, and don't know all about their weird, subtle quirks. The accusations still come from lack/incomplete knowledge, but it's depressing all the same.

The art equivalent of calling every female character they don't like a "Mary Sue".

LRT I'll always defend having years-long hyperfixations, but only for positive contributions like making fanart, fic, zines, events or even genuinely thought out meta. But rehashing the same tired wank every week five fucking years later is frankly unhinged. This is what touch grass was created for

Someone must've read this yesterday, bc today I invade and the very first host is a Looney Tunes character incarnate, it legit felt like smth out of Tom & Jerry chase scenes with all the traps and boulders and chaos. My god, Juke, if you read this, I love you and I hope you enjoy your steam points.

That being said, my silent wish to duke it out with Host, suddenly stop in order to politely ride an elevator, only to immediately continue beating the s**t out of each other after getting out was fulfilled twice by now and I couldn't be happier about this XD I love Dark Souls so much.

--IS THIS HAPPENING IS THIS -FINALLY- HAPPENING, and yeeeesss there's the poison fog coming from behind the pillar, some player actually tries to pull the offline Church Spear Boss cheese on ONLINE player, oh my GOD I'm SO happy, let's go

they will be like "oh shit I forgot to go offline" and I'll be like "hehe no worries I'll play along :)" (until last 20 seconds where I might or might not cast Great Heal, and come at them with now two guardians, depends how nice I'd feel and I'd find funnier at that very moment, the chance is 50/50 really).
But then I see the clouds don't manage to proc the poison status, and I gesture at the player for a while to keep going, I even try to friend invite them on steam so I can encourage them via chat, but nothing's happening for a really long while. Finally I come over to them, and no reaction there either.
They legit must've just cast the poison, and immediately went afk without even making sure it applied 😂🤣😂damn, lost such perfect opportunity for comedic shenanigans. (Or dunno... maybe they actually were playing me...gasp!) gg tho, gg :D
