The Weak Non-Constructive Everlux Hater: Their art is soooo bad :/ why do they look like that? The artists should fix it
Me, the Awakened and Effervescent Male Pearlcatcher Disliker: Thou art a weak fool for thinking that is the breed with the most problems. Behold. You shall now and forever notice how gargantuan the back wing is compared to the front one.

retracting my statement about the skinny legs i understand them now

yknow at first i didnt care abt all the people whining abt the new breed but now its like. pissing me off really bad lol
its honestly so telling that people are saying they wanted something "elegant" instead... like, what about these cant be elegant? hm? surely you wouldnt imply that something fat cant be elegant, right??? hrmm
they very easily can look so elegant, honestly. and i also dont get the "well they dont fit the aesthetic of light" bc like. how the hell does coatl look like fire?? how does veilspun look like shadow?! what are you even on about lol
it also just depends on the colors/genes they have, too. i think (despite me not making either light element whoops) both of the above look pretty light aligned.
there's plenty of criticism ive seen that i think is reasonable and i do agree with, of course. i think their legs could be a bit thicker, personally.
now, im not antagonizing people for simply not liking the design. if its not your thing, thats fine. you dont have to like EVERYTHING flight rising does, that would be a weird expectation to have.
but, man. there's like 20 other breeds that arent fat, 2 other that belong to light that arent fat!! you can let us have this, you'll be fine lmao.
i even saw one person imply that the designs felt weird abt fat bellies like it was... perverted or something. why???? just because its fat???
sorry. im just so tired of people trying to pick apart something bc its outside of what they're comfortable with. being fat my whole life ive had to hear abt how im not beautiful/elegant/etc because im fat and some people are reopening those old wounds.
#tbh also side-eying any criticism along the lines of them not looking 'healthy'#there is not a single breed on the site that does not have something i would be alarmed to see in a real living animal#often related to their /lack/ of apparent fat or muscle tissue or their very gaunt faces or what have you#the amount of criticism about it being aimed this breeds' way legit makes me feel like people are concern trolling dragon pngs
my contribution to the AAA monster mash ( my monsters were vampire + gargoyle ) ! and a few recolour ideas .
relationship with neo over . ( lost in the BC by ten votes to someone who was blatantly spamming ) FR is my best friend again .
#this is mostly a joke#i mean i /am/ a bit salty about it but also i know it's been an advertising contest since its inception#and i was placing overall when that required 1000+ votes#( do not cite the deep magic to me etc etc. )#but neo is still giving me more to do during slow hours at work#idk i guess maybe i just don't chat enough on the FR forums ? i don't feel as carefree there about like#talking about cringy OCs and stuff as i do on neo where cringe is practically the selling point of the site lol
#neopets#aisha#not flight rising#and another BC entry - i suppose i should make another blog for all this#i have other stuff i should definitely be doing when i'm at home but#tldr i lost a friend last week to his depression and the simple nostalgia of neo just feels very cozy i guess#apologies if you're one of the folks still waiting on something from me on FR i'll definitely still get to it by the end of the month
a bunch of misc. sketches for folks on neo
sneaks a neopet onto my flight rising blog . . ...
#not flight rising#neopets#draik#mem draws#because i started my new job i can't really.... do much yet . i need to be trained in a lot still .#but i have to sit in an office all day regardless#so i decided to enter the BC for the first time in years because posting is something i can do from my phone lol
instructions unclear, stuck the chain up my nose
If you're a visual artist, reblog and put in the tags advice that actually helped you improve your art, that isn't just the same "keep on practicing!! :)" platitudes.
#if you can't draw something a second time you don't know how to draw it#sunk cost fallacy is the bane of most fledgling artists i've ever known ( including myself )#they draw something and like how it looks too much to consider redrawing it if it turns out something isn't working#or put a disproportionate amount of effort to rework everything else around a single part they like#ex. the hands look good but the drawing still isn't working so they try to redraw everything but the hands#to try and force them to work#but not only do you sometimes need to redraw the hands#chances are they will look better when you do#because the idea works both ways#if you could draw something the first time you /do/ know how to draw it again#so have trust in yourself + your ability to learn from each attempt#draw with intention and give yourself permission to try it again better

Give me more impractical guardian charges. A guardian whose charge is an archeological dig site and she won’t let anyone work. A guardian who is an assassin and their charge was sent to kill them. A guardian whose charge is a single pumpkin that’s been rotting for 4 months and buddy you really need to throw it out. The comedy potential is limitless
onía's charge is a set of musical chords that she has a compulsion to include in every song she tries to create , much to her artistic frustration
#she's like 2% inspired by my real debilitating experiences with ocd#but 98% silly fun times inspired by axis of awesome's 4 chords#idk i play really fast and loose with FR lore in general this might not make any sense with how charges are really supposed to work#i just find the idea of feeling compelled to protect a concept by including it in everything possible to be pretty hilarious#world's most cast-type actor is a guardian whose charge is 'nefarious villain characterization'#guardian who writes mystery novels tries to kill off their main character and has to bring him back because their charge is#'the fanbase for herlock sholmes' etc.#mem draws#onía
