Everytime I switch from a violent game like Red Dead 2 to an anime like Quintessential Quintuplets, I question my sanity.

Also I see you guys mentioning Regular Show. Thanks for reminding to add that to my list to watch, thank you very much.

Wasn't the latest Dissidia controversial, or something? I know it's Steam reviews are super low...
I'll be very blunt about Dissidia NT. That game was my biggest disappointment this gen, even more so than Cyberpunk.

They really should have just gave 012 a remake with more content and more characters, that's all they needed to do, plus rebalancing. The RPG-fighting system was brilliant, had great character interactions and story for a crossover. It was one of the best spinoff's ever IMO.

In comparison, the NT fighting system was too basic, like every hit caused them to fly away, story was too short compared to 012 (which took at least 30-40 hours), not enough customisation. Outside of stage design, graphics and Noctis in the story mode being like "why the **** am I here?" funny, it was just terrible.
It's a shame cause I would love to see a Dissdia Square Enix with the old battle system.

Curious what those green, white, and black arrows were supposed to be.

Let's go! It's not a perfect drawing but I need to start somewhere right?
View attachment 300159
So yeah, since the Owl House is basically turning out to be my favourite cartoon ever since Regular Show I decides to do a small little drawing featuring Luz, Mordecai and Rigby to kind of celebrate that I finally found a new animated show I'm genuiely invested in.

It helped a lot that I got interested on drawing while being on a great mood. And while I could have improved the drawing in some regards, I'm just glad I was able to draw something I was happy with.

Gonna tag all the artists from the thread whose names I remember:
Noipoi Noipoi @AndreaAC @Dr. Metal X Aetheri Aetheri @Knight Dude @Bakugan2556 @Guh-Huzzah! (A voice artist) @Wademan94 and I think those are all.

Also gonna tag @osby because I really want him to see the stuff I create.
Hope you don't mind a little critique. No ill will or anything but just providing some information you may find useful. If not then just ignore.

While not familiar with the show I immediately recognized the characters and you captured the artstyle rather well. But one issue I notice is the chicken scratching that going on. I suggest three things to help with this. One is to start with very light rough lines to give yourself a foundation to build upon. These lines are basically like writing notes for a final draft as it's setting down initial information which (because they are lightly sketched) will be easy to erase all the rough loose linework you're not using for the final draft. The second thing I suggest is try to avoid drawing with your wrist (unless you're doing very small fine details) it can be difficult at first and uncomfortable because you're probably using the same muscles as when you are writing since there's less of a need to make large swooping gestural lines when you're focused on writing an essay. This will also help with line confidence as you'll train yourself to be more deliberate with your lines. Third is focus on laying down larger shapes first before going into details, it's easy to have proportional errors when you're putting in all the facial features without having a form to visualize the features sitting in. When I do my creature designs, often times I'll literally just sketch unusual and interesting shapes first without any real basis for what I'm drawing yet before filling in smaller secondary forms and finally the fine details and textures.

Woah, this is all a lot of really helpful feedback to take into consideration.

Thanks for taking time to write It all! Will keep in my mind all of these for future drawings.

It also makes me wonder what the hell in the game would have cost 9999 rupees in the beta version. A 9999 rupee wallet seems like way too much lol! Even the 500 Rupee wallet in the final version of Ocarina of Time was too much as there was literally nothing even close worth 500 rupees in the game to spend it on.

So decided to give myself a break from the Wild West and play a bit of Celeste for the first time in a while.

1 Minute 45 seconds and 2 deaths on the first level (Forsaken City) ain't too bad of first try in a few months.

Only in America! And Brazil! Joking.

Regular Show is one of my favorite late 2000s/2010s cartoons for sure.

Even better they eventually ended it on a satisfying and good note unlike other shows they continue to drag through the mud. Cough Cough Simpsons. Cough Cough Family Guy, Spongebob. The ratings being the only thing that continues to drag their corpses of what they once were.

No. I will have that promotion, and Karen will NOT take it from me god damnit. 🍶
Yeah but she's has rights she says.

Well to me then, she has the right to **** off! I'm getting that promotion!

Seriously though, I never understood that mentality in the US. It's in other countries sure but just seems like in the US those kind of people are far more stubborn than their counterparts in the UK and so.

Unpopular opinion time: Nothing against Kingdom Hearts or anything but I never understood the popularity it has. It's largely just retelling of Disney stories with the original content it brings, including Sora himself, usually being poorly written notably "Friendship is my power!".

Basically just glorified Disney/Final Fantasy crossover fanfiction in the form of a video game and Sora being an example of a fangirls fanfic gary-stu character.

I mean you aren't wrong
that's kinda the whole point of the series: hell it was a literal elevator pitch to a disney exe with sora just being sorta a bridge between the two series

Yep, that's enough Twitter for today

Trump had a red diet coke button? Why am I only now hearing about this, that's some r/notheonion ****
The majority of the tweets I read regarding this was basically your reaction.

OK. I'm doing a redesign of Minnie Mouse, basically just because I want too, and I want it to be more then just Mickey in a dress and bow. I want to give her a new outfit that's actually reflective of her personality, is suitably modern while also remaining timeless, and is true to her origins as a 1920s' flapper girl. Any ideas for places to look for inspiration?

I'm also gonna eventually do Daisy and Clarabelle, but I'm starting with Minnie
