Oh, nono, I just wanted to make sure it was like, DISCLAIMER DISCLAIMER YES. I figured you knew.
And yeah, I guess it almost defeats the point of it being based on real people, but I tend to prefer when the author really makes it their own, rather than adhering to canon or trying to work in really solid character traits or whatever. Then I start to remember I'm reading rpf and then I start to get all uncomfortable, and it usually ends in a day spent hiding under the covers watching Disney movies until my brain atrophies. ...It's a routine.
I don't think it's the idea of the color that gets me. I think it's like, whenever I try to use it for my own stuff, it looks cheap and garish. And then I lose patience before I can get it to start working. I'm not kidding, I seriously have zero attention span for anything that isn't holding a pencil. But I know what you mean, too, like. You're trying to get some anatomical detail or whatever to work, and it's just barely scraping by, and then you have to color it. And all of a sudden it's REALLY OBVIOUS that you're bs'ing it. At least, that's my experience. Which tends to be where I go AAAAAAAGHGHGHFUCKIT and we're right back where we started with Disney musical-enabled avoidance.
(the Unicorn Warrior pt2 was actually drawn for Gerard Way. Because my friends are a bunch of pushers. I just... haven't sent it to his creeper mailbox where he wants the pictures of Mikey he asked for sent. And I was trying to color it and it wasn't working and I had this huge meltdown partially on LJ and I haven't really thought of it since. I should... maybe send it. Ngh.)
CRAVATS ARE GO. Yeah, I have one that I make out of this white silk men's scarf I got in this little vintage shop hole in the wall I'm painfully addicted to. I pin it with this huge, heavy stainless steel coat of arms pin I got at the same time, and it's generally pretty badass. I wore it to a Decemberists show with this electric blue button-down, it was great. Cravats are so overlooked. SIGH.
Yay new Twitter people yes! I found you through Speep, so. I figured you wouldn't mind. I mostly post nonsense and like, weirdo stream of consciousness rambling. Nothing terribly interesting. And also like, every time I encounter a spider. D:<
lol don't worry about late-night incoherency. I keep weird hours and get all nuts and end up spamming people with blathering nonsense. It's a miracle I have friends.
