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.

Hey that’s Genshiken

Can I see your favorite art that you've made? It can be anything, drawings, graphics, photography, maybe crafts you've made. If you don't have any of that post your fave art by someone else! (Just make sure to post who it's by). These are my top 2 graphics that I've made for myself and for friends, and my favorite painting by an artist: This is my favorite C4D sig I've made: This is my favorite PNG sig that I've made: And this is my favorite art, not made by me. It's a painting of Irises by Claude Monet. I always wished I was able to paint like that ^^ :

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'm new here I've just made an account. I haven't watched much anime but I liked all that I've watched. My all time favorite anime is Inuayasha and it's the only long anime that I have finished . I would love interacting to you all. どうぞうよるしくおねがいします。

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

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

The main reason I get on here anymore is to interact with the few friends I have here and respond to their DM's. I also like posting on the forum games because it's something fun to come here and do. I really like forums a bit better than say, group Discord chats, for talking with others because I feel like I can keep up better on a forum.

Congratulations.

I agree completely, yuru camp is on my list now (@-v-@)

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.

Post pics of your pets, or just any wildlife that you've seen. Cats, dogs, bears, mice ^^ Below is my furry thief baby, my ferret Sir Winston Churchill the 2nd, also known as "Squirrel" lol. He's a thief and will steal anything he can get grab, including mops. Love to see your own furry babies or your photographs of wildlife

Full reference sheet for a Yeenan officer. Can you tell how much fun I had with this one? : )

Sketchy waist-up of a character I never finished refining. Really digging the vibe he has though.

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

I felt like making a wallpaper of Ishizu and Marik using the same renders I used for that one sig pic I made that I was using before this one, and here's the result:

Another Poppy. Really love this lady's warm color scheme. Just a quick bust for funsies.

A forum site is only as good as it's community is willling to let it grow by contributing to it be it by striking up an entertaining conversation, making engaging threads or simply making content that catches the eyes of visitors enough to decide to make an account and be part of this home of ours.

I doubt anyone is wondering about this, however this former member's goodbye message makes a very serious accusation towards me, and I don't like misinformation. So here's what they're referring to! "wants to redefine the meanings of words", they were questioning the existence of a "no LGBT-phobia" rule, I promptly explained it a few times, to no avail. "to suit their own agenda", dear human... is an agenda meant to protect individuals from harassment a program that shouldn't be endorsed? The conversation I had with this lad a few months ago is still intact, and should anyone request it, I'll happily distribute complete screenshots for you to see with your own eyes their suspicious and obnoxious terms. It's usually a shame to lose members like this, but frankly, I'm quite delighted that they did the job of sparing Anime Forums from themselves. It deserves better than members audaciously attacking rules that protect a core and innocent part of the community. PS: they were planning on a more dramatic departure? Shoot, I should've set off all the fireworks in celebration... but they're not worth it.

Never forget that age is just a number and while growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional.
