giving and kindly taking. that is what i want.
these are starting to getting similar to xkcd comics somewhat. only somewhat tho.

this one is veery saturated. too much so for my liking. next time imma stay away from the extreme colors again and use em sparingly. you see how in this post (the following dropdown) the light reflecting really stands out?

I really love the way your comics are coming out, they’re like a bright spot of my day :3
Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 19 pts · 61d
whaaaat my posts are bright spots in ur day? >o< woah
i mean - what higher praise could i get? thank u very much for saying that <3
also... i know im answering kinda every comment on my posts, but, i really do genuinely mean things when i say them. im really happy to heart you enjoy them <3

I really like how "homemade" and personal your comic feels. We should have a lot more art like this, just telling our personal experience and with our own style. Really liked it!
Extreme colors are cool if you have a good palette but do not be afraid of experiment on these things!
Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 9 pts · 61d
yea ur right, experiments are fine. i just... settled for the saturated bg very early on and kept going with it. so far i have never really decided on a color palette, but just tried putting colors until one looks right and stayed with it.
but like - having an actual palette might be really fun too. the last coming about shushing kinda had a palette... hmm.
anyway, thanksies to u very much, i reeeeally like the descriptor of "homemade", thats - like - ... im happy that u see it this way <3

Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 7 pts · 61d

I appreciate ur pfp.

Haha, it has quite a story to it, if you’re interested:
So many years ago I was trying to learn how to use blender, and this was the first thing I created. I thought it was so funny so I showed it to my friends, but I also didn’t even know how to render the final image in blender, so I just took a screenshot. My friends decided that he was god and I should set it as my pfp, I then changed my username to g0d and sometimes gzerod, because god was taken. Later, I started streaming on twitch (I no longer do), and gzerod was a shitty username so I decided to just change it to guy named zero, as it still references the history of everything while being memorable. And that’s how I arrived at today :)

oh thats a really fun story! thanks for sharing it with us <3
I looked at it earlier before sending that comment and i noticed that the faces werent flat shaded, so i assuuuuumed it was something along the lines of "my first experiments in blender" ~ and I guess I was right ~
but again, thank you very much for sharing! thats super nice of you <3
WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today · 1 pts · 56d
Are you related to my friend AdumbChippy in any way?
Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 1 pts · 56d
ummm no. got no idea who u are talking about. what made you think that? ~
WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today · 1 pts · 56d
He speaks in the same way, but is a Shaymin pf dude who is always in RP mode.
Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 2 pts · 56d
ooh hmmm, havent heard of them.
also, im not roleplaying if thats what you mean. maybe it appears as such tho. putting a tilde doesnt make something an RP thing in my mind at least ~
carotte@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 4 pts · 61d
hope u had a lovely day too maria 🧡
Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 5 pts · 61d
wooooah new Chloé pfp!!! wowie! very fun ~
also aww thank u very muchhhh i think im having a fun day so far <3 today is a feelings day.
erotador@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 3 pts · 61d
i have always had the philosophy that food is meant to be shared, so i never question why people are giving me food i simply say thank you
Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 3 pts · 61d
i do agree, but when someone u really like makes it - it feels more special.... iguess.
yes im overexcited.
gandalf_der_12te@feddit.org · 2 pts · 61d
also sharing food is a great way to connect to people :)
yetAnotherUser@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 60d
I think this one's still pretty good despite the contrast issues you mentioned! Drawing yourself as a datacenter is wild, I'm gonna be honest. People say stupid shit on the Internet all the time without realizing the consequences of saying the stupid shit. As such, please don't overthink it. You draw pretty well!
Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 2 pts · 57d
thing is, the person who said that was someone i somewhat knew and they are usually very warm, even if... i for some reason really don't like them.
so it was especially weird. they then said that it was meant to be a joke about having to drink water, which - fair... i get that. but... it does read differently upon first read i feel.
als@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 3 pts · 61d
Your art always brings me joy 🥰
TotallynotJessica@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 3 pts · 60d
I will gladly accept (and probably eat most of it without thinking and feel bad about it, even though you brought it for me to enjoy)
Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 2 pts · 60d
awwwww yes thats what i would want u to do ~
i would look at you eating - and drinking a bit - and eating again ~ ~ ~ and you wouldn't notice at first ~ ~ ~ and then you would look at me a bit sad and i'd ask "did you like it? ~" <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
TotallynotJessica@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 1 pts · 60d
I would feel shy if someone was actively watching me. I'd prefer if you ate it with me so we can enjoy the yummy food together <3
Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 3 pts · 60d
oh! okay, i will remember that: being watched makes u shy and presumably uncomfy.
i would certainly be happy to have some too ~ thats why i made two of each after all <3
if there isnt enough, i can quickly make some more too ~
(ohgosh its... 3:30 AM rn and i can't - calm - down! im-.... im getting too excited about my own posts. mygosh. i cried again)
TotallynotJessica@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 1 pts · 60d
also, sweet dreams 💖
Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 2 pts · 60d
hey!... hey- heyheyhey! why swear.... like that...?
i won't do it when u swear at me... because that makes it sound like an impolite ask.
TotallynotJessica@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 2 pts · 60d
sorry to keep you from sleeping :(
Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 3 pts · 60d
nonono, its okay. i will ignore it this time.
but next time, you ask nicely, okay? ~
briah@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 2 pts · 60d
