I think I may have posted this one before, I saw this fox on my lawn one afternoon.

I feel kind of stupid for liking someone again and then barely a week into it find out they are already cheating on me lollll... Also pretty hurt and I think I'm just feeling like I am totally and completely done with relationships for good.

I made a new Camelia doll My beloved OC now has a more mature look! I took her for a winter photoshoot today. Too bad there's no snow :[

I agree with your sentiment. While it's true that cartoons and fiction feature imaginary characters and scenarios, they often reflect and influence our real-world desires, values, and aspirations. Many of the themes, values, and emotions portrayed in fiction resonate with us precisely because they tap into our fundamental human experiences and desires. For example, when we enjoy stories of bravery and heroism in fiction, it's because we admire those qualities in real life as well. When we connect with fictional characters' struggles, it's often because we can relate to similar challenges in our own lives. And when we find certain relationships or dynamics appealing in fiction, it's because they mirror our desires for connection and understanding in reality. So, dismissing the impact of fiction by saying, "It's not a real person," overlooks the profound ways in which fiction shapes our thoughts, values, and even our actions. Stories, whether in the form of cartoons, literature, or any other medium, have the power to influence and reflect our deepest desires and beliefs.

it's still a WIP, but here's something I've been working on! It's just some drawings of some images I found off Pinterest (I would credit the people, but I've lost the images. Sorry! ). It's definitely not my favourite work of art, but I'm proud nonetheless. I've also improved quite a bit since I started it, haha. Not sure if I'll actually end up finishing it though lol

Thank you so much! Getting to this point in the fundraiser it can feel like a dead end with raising so much and still a bit to go it feels like you've run the well dry so donations like this really help and I am very appreciative!

This isn't the first time I've had dolls of anime characters (I have others of my OCs, some of those are on my profile and I may make a blog out of the photoshoots I do at some point) but it is my first canon character. I commissioned a nendoroid style head and used an Obitsu11 body, which I then very horribly put his tattoos on lol. I can't get over how heckin cute he is ‧º·(˚ ˃̣̣̥⌓˂̣̣̥ )‧º·˚ the panda slippers!! It's too much x_x

So what anime are you watching at the moment? For me it's Psycho-Pass. I'm loving it so much! It's a Sci-Fi detective thriller but It's quite deep, alongside the depth and action of Ghost in the Shell. And Shakespeare, lots of references to English literature! How about you?

Eating all those funny plants will do that to you.

So I would't lengthen my words lol any questions are welcome critiques are welcome as well Here goes nothin' As a Starter made from photoscape, The days I figured out how to use photoshop, The days I mixed an animation from different forgotten apps png format. The days I started to use apng formats, Drawing, Background made from c4d app, I really like that Explosion FX option Latest made from android phone, I believe we have different styles when it comes to graphics

Yesterday night was one of the most fantastic moments and a core memory. With my partner visiting me here in Czechia. I decided to propose! And she said yes!!

I've had a quick play with one of the AI programs and it generated some interesting pictures based on the words I typed in, but I don't really think I could 'claim' them as my own work. To my mind it's not all that different to raiding Google images for picture elements and combining them into something 'new', it's ultimately just stealing someone else's work. As a photographer I'd be a bit put out if I discovered someone was using parts of my photos to create their own pictures, I'd be more that just 'put out' if I was a professional photographer and earned my living taking and selling photos.

Woooo the forum hit 100k total posts! Congrats!

Hi everyone! So I have been very inactive on here both on the forum side and updating this blog, with working in Spain for the last 4 months and then my father passing away unexpectedly everything has been very chaotic but the grind to the top of Africa never stopped. With our vaccines got last week (Hep B, Diptheria, and Yellow Fever) luckily my Tetanus was still in date! as someone who has very bad anxiety around needles hearing that we will be going through Kenya meant we'd need yellow fever vaccines quiet unfortunate but hey I managed to get through the 3 without fainting (cant say the same thing about straight after ) We've also been slowly getting the gear needed, I might do a post about that at some point. Really breaking through the bank account though. Anyway as the main focus of this trek as some of you might have known from the last post is raising money for MRF with 100% of the money donated going to them, We are currently 855 euro away from the final goal of 5490!!!!!!! So with a final grind and push (think I've emailed over 100 businesses and not one has responded) LETS HIT THIS GOALLL WOOOOH (Donation page has been removed since goal has been reached) (Any support is very much appreciated, whether its donation or spreading the word! <3)

For me it's the artwork. Anime style seems to be different than cartoons. For me when I think about cartoons I think about Looney Tunes or Tom and Jerry, something like that When I think about anime I think about things like Naruto, SAO, FMA, with that specific artwork style. Also like @Animedragon said too it's the storyline. Anime seems to have an actual storyline with things progressing with each episode like a normal T.V show would, and when I think about cartoons I think about something that doesn't really have a storyline that goes from episode to episode.

MC Escher

New Yu-Gi-Oh acrylic stand and my 2 new Yugi plushies I'm really happy about these~

loafin' around Oh and my sis's lion

Pat yourself on the back, you made it through the week.

Finished The Dangers in My Heart . The first episode was kinda offputting, but thereafter the MC’s chuuni edgelord mannerisms get dialed back considerably to where he’s more awkward than anything & it winds up being a rather cute & funny romcom. A little less than halfway through Heavenly Delusion. Pretty strange series with things switching back & forth between 2 separate but connected settings & cast of characters. Got to admit the twist at the end of episode 2 caught me by surprise. Saw Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind at the movies/cinema this afternoon. Some newer anime fans might find the character designs & animation dated, but very nostalgic for me very similar to the period when I first discovered & became fascinated with anime. One of my favorite Ghibli films & heroines.

Thought i might as well post something

Third in a series of half orc bust commissions!

My latest acquisition, all 70 episodes of everyone's favourite magical girl* on 10 Blu-ray disks. * other magical girls are available, but none are as cute.

Small reference for my steampunk prince. I remember how to draw a little better each time I scribble him out ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Watching Golden kamuy....so far i like it

I saw that one advertised on Crunchy's front page and thought it looked interesting, so I might add it to my list and give it a try.

Which days are the strongest? Saturday and Sunday. The rest are weekdays. Did you hear about the guy who was afraid of hurdles? He got over it.

No silly I didn't do that at all XD But @Animedragon & @viruxx comments about it were shockingly great

Hiya hi ~ welcome to the forum Hope you have a great time here and make some friends. If you ever want to chat feel free to see me a message ^^ I would recommend "Your Name" or what Sasuke already said with Anohana because that is a sweet anime. Clannad is also nice.

Hello, I guess this is where I re introduce myself. Hi it's been a minute the last time I've been active on here or even using a fourm. All I want to say first off is im sorry to those if I ever hurt anyone in anyway or by me leaving the fourm. I was major mess back then and needed to go for my health sake. I'm not the same person back in 2018, I'm re born into something new, and proud to say I'm in a wonderful place now and at peace. I noticed some of the people I used to know back then on here still, which is pretty cool. Well I'm never really good at these so I'll shall take my leave. I hope to enjoy the fourm once again and contribute. Thank you for listening.

I got a Sai Funko Pop and a Boruto plushie today! Totally in love with the Boruto plushie

Yeah on school nights, I still stay up until midnight usually lol ~ I don't have to get up until 7:50 though so I still get enough sleep.

The cold really makes me want to do even less lol Just snuggle in a blanket on the laptop in front of the heater and watch tv. Relate, relate, relate~ I have so many games I need to get on and finish what I was doing on them but haven't felt like playing at all this week

This has been bugging me for some time now and i need your opinion please. I see a lot of people starting threads or replying only with their opinion. So lets look at the " what are you watching" thread. People post their opinion and reply. I see this so many times. I cannot explain it better than to tell that everyone live their own live. We post our reply and we post our thread, without reading eachothers. I am guilty as well. i post a reply on a anime i love. BUT at least i always tell myself,..read the previous 3 replies and like them. Can we use this foru m to read and understand eachother instead of webloggin your opinion?

Update, I made a new one! this is based on my OC Dahlia who I wrote about in my post in the writing forum.

What kind of anime are you into? Action, drama, romance, etc? I recently watched Peacemaker Kurogane and I really liked it, it's fairly short as far as animes go, so it doesn't take long to watch. I would also recommend Inuyasha if you haven't seen it. Golden Time, My Dress Up Darling, or Your Name if you like romance. High School of the Dead is a really good anime imo. Kenshin, Full Metal Alchemist, Hunter x Hunter, Death Note, Code Geass, Trigun, My Little Monster, Clannad, Durarara and Toaru Majutsu no Index are others I recommend :3

Same as that tbh lol, I just want to stay home over the New Years but I'll probably go down to the lake front and watch some fireworks.

UPDATE: I finished Evangelion on Thanksgiving night, not gonna put a review or spoilers here just figured I'd mention it.

This is Barking Riverside station. I rather liked the symmetry of its layout.

Today I finished re-watching, again, one of my favourite series; ef-A Tale of Memories, this is an excellent Slice of Life series, or perhaps more correctly a Slice of Lives series as it follows the lives of three couples, their stories are both separate and interconnected at the same time. While in some places the scenes are a bit dialogue heavy the dialogue is well written and has both a subtle humour and more serious side to it. What really makes this series stand out is its beautiful soundtrack and stunningly creative artwork and dramatic backgrounds, the range of colour palettes used is quite different to most series. I find it a very enjoyable series to watch, but at the same time there is a lot to think about at the end.

A few shots toward the end of this year. Winter seems to be on the way and we gotta deal with the white stuff soon. Gotta enjoy the warm weather why we can Tornado From a few months ago. Wasn't very strong but very intimidating. Saw it as I was coming over a hill on my way home from work. Some say the bathroom is haunted. Lobby of the Ohio Theater at Playhouse Square Cleveland Ohio Lastly a nice sunrise before we drop into eternal darkness with daylight savings time. Dark when going to work dark when I leave.

I've been practising my anatomy a lot these past few days, and really been trying to focus more on the overall structure of the muscles and torso. The first drawing is one I doodled in English class today, the second one I just finished. I messed up the perspective but overall I'm proud ^^ just a quick warning for a shirtless woman (I'm not 100% if I can post this, so, uh, yippee ig)

@Animedragon Happy Birthday If blowing out all the candles proves to be too much of a challenge, Nagisa is happy to help Dang, how’d I miss this? Hope you had a good one, Viruxx

This is cool, I like that art style.

For me what defines an anime and separates it from being a cartoon is the quality of the background artwork along with characters that are well designed, drawn and animated to look and act like real people. Yes, I know real people don't have really large eyes, but that's part of the anime visual style and it's often the detail in the eyes which bring a character to life. For me the other aspect that separates anime from cartoons is the storylines, anime always seems to me to have more serious and thoughtful stories that cartoons. Someone once said that cartoons are story driven and the story dictates how the characters act, while anime is more character driven and the actions of the characters directs the flow of the story.

Not my animals, but they are some of my favorites.

Yes I've seen and enjoyed it, and yeah I agree, to Me 2nd season was to circle back to his father's message. It's a lot like your kid, you tell them don't do this, and they do it anyways, go through all this crap and when they're older they came to the same conclusion their parents do. When his dad died mixed with him living on for revenge and his desire to go to war, i KNEW that he was gonna grow up that way and think, I should have listened to dad. I've done it myself but not to a murderous rampage sense lol. Those shows sound interesting. And about gags, it's really more of the cutesy childish stuff I don't like. If the gags are funny and vulgar I love. But not too much where it ruins story lol. Like 7 deadly sins did gags right for me

Hey that’s Genshiken
