Only a few hours into the game so far but doodling these two is fun !
[IDs: First image: A few uncolored digital sketches of Kim Kitsuragi and Harry Du Bois from Disco Elysium. There’s a portrait in profile and one in frontal view of Kim, a three quarter view portrait of Harry and a sketch of both of them standing next to each other from the chest up.
Second Image: A colored sketch of Kim. He is drawn facing the viewer and from the hips up. He is looking to the right with his hands in his pockets and is smiling slightly.
Third Image: A partially colored three quarter view portrait of Harry. His skin and hair are colored and shaded, his jacket, shirt and tie are not. He is looking sad and exhausted.
Fourth Image: A page full of uncolored sketches of Kim featuring a full body drawikg of him in the middle and four different portraits around it. The fullbody drawing shows him standing confidently with both his hands on his waist and smiling. In the first portrait on the upper left corner the viewer is looking at him slightly from above. He is smoking a cigarette and looking straight ahead. In the next he is not as in all the drawings before wearing his signature bomber jacket but a simple t-shirt. His upper body is turned towards the viewer but his head is turned away to the right and he is looking at something off “camera” with an annoyed expression on his face. The next portrait sketch shows him in profile in the same t-shirt as before. He is looking to the left of the picture (to the front from his perspective) and his right arm is reaching for something off “camera” in front of him. The last portrait shows him from the front wearing his bomber jacket again. End ID]
the thing about disco elysium is that it has women in it. what you see on the internet about it might lie to you about that but it has women, gay women even, very compelling women even, in it.

Back during the time when it was popular to bash Twilight for both legitimate reasons (Edward being borderline abusive to Bella, the whole child grooming plot point in Breaking Dawn, etc.) and not (REAL VAMPIRES DON’T SPARKLE THATS GAY), I saw this meme on Facebook where it was Louis and Lestat from Interview With The Vampire commenting on Edward’s sparkling and making fun of him for being gay. Like… Buddy My Guy. My Fair Dude. My Dear Sweet Homophobic Idiot. Not only are the Vampires in IWTV super duper gay, you’re lying to yourself if you think Lestat wouldn’t slam dunk his entire body into a tub of glitter on any given occasion. You Fool. You Imbecile.
Jerry: Wait so tell me again, what did she say to you when she got to your place?
George, sighing: She said, “Looking out, I see how the wandering moon as well rises from the hills, finds no solace in the world, and then to the hills returns.”
Jerry, sucking air through teeth: That’s not a good sign–
George: IT WASN’T A GOOD SIGN, JERRY
Jerry, clicking his tongue: You gave her the morning after poem, right?
George: Oh we’re doing the morning after poem now?! I’m taking a stand against all these poems! I’m a no poem guy!
Kramer, sliding in through the folding screen: Guess who’s seeing the cherry blossoms with the Minister of the Right’s first daughter!
A big part of cultivating creative discipline is accepting that you can’t just sit around waiting for inspiration to strike and learning how to write without it, but the other half is learning never to let inspiration go to waste when it does strike.
If you’ve got an idea for something that you’ll never be able to show to anyone else – maybe it’s too personal, maybe it’s too pornographic, maybe it just doesn’t fit your idiom – you should absolutely go ahead and write it anyway.
This isn’t a “write for yourself” thing (and there’s no shame in being uninterested in writing for yourself – art is about communication!): it’s a “building your portfolio” thing. Self-plagiarism is one of the most fundamental skills of any artist, and you never know what random scribble is going to turn up exactly what’s needed for some seemingly unrelated project later on.
Like, it’s not likely that that grotesquely self-indulgent character piece where your fandom crush inexplicably has three dicks will randomly prove to contain the missing ingredient for that novel you’ve been procrastinating on writing, but it can never entirely be ruled out!
