In two short days America will elect its next president and a woman’s right to choose hangs in the balance. The Supreme Court is the last line of defense for safe, legal, and accessible abortion, and the next president will determine the court’s makeup for decades to come.
So, this happened to me recently, and I wanted to share this with everyone.
I was sitting outside a laundromat, waiting for my clothes to finish drying. My dog, Willow, was sitting next to me at a bench. I was kind of looking off into the distance, minding my own business, and was snapped out of it by a man saying “Hello!” very close to my ear.
I turn my head around, and there he is, sticking his NEWBORN CHILD DIRECTLY IN MY DOG’S F*CKING FACE.
Now, nothing bad happened. Willow is a good dog. She loves kids. She sniffed the baby, and the man happily told me how much she loves the dog they have at home.
But, here’s the thing:
Not all dogs like infants. Some dogs like older kids, but not babies. Some dogs are scared of children of all ages, and do not like being pet by them. Some dogs are ok with children being nearby, but don’t like being touched by them. Some dogs, when scared, react with aggression.
I feel like I shouldn’t need to say this, but when you’re meeting an animal for the first time, do not stick your baby 2 inches away from it’s f*cking face. ASK THE OWNER IF IT’S OK TO PET THEIR DOG, ALWAYS.
Hussie’s art style is so weirdly unique to where I haven’t seen one person draw it quite the way he does and it’s weird because it’s so simple
And the other weird thing about that is that when you start/ plan to read homestuck the art style is one of the biggest turn-offs of the comic but as you get to the end you start to just like adore it and I want to see it all the time
I think what makes it so great is that his grip on anatomy and perspective is very very good - like, normally simply styles allow for more mistakes in that respect, but no, hussie’s art (the properly drawn panels, not the sprites) definitely exists in a realistic 3D space
But then everything is simplified down as much as possible, and stylised.
The style itself changed over time, starting with very thin and extended limbs
and ending up very round, with puppet-like limbs, and small bean fingers
in both cases you end up with an art style where no shading or lines are used, only block colour in a pixellated pseudo-mspaint style (since it’s not actually drawn in mspaint).
but i think what hussie grasps better than a lot of artists is how to make a character unique and iconic - both in their design and their personality/dialogue. he comes up with a set of simple rules and he sticks to them. not to say he creates simple characters, the characters themselves have a lot of depth, but the way they are expressed is always in one basic format that’s unique to them. they have typing quirks and language quirks and instantly recognisable silhouettes, despite the extremely simplistic format.
that post going around with the two canon pictures of rose is a good example. the range of headcanons for the homestuck kids covers just about the entire spectrum of the human race, yet no one is ever confused about which character they’re looking at.
and yeah hussie’s art doesn’t get enough appreciation
This is just… a self indulgent inside joke between my best friend and I. I ended up coloring everything because I wanted to render out the chile colorado. Who knew Talon’s community kitchen was so adorable?
I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
