Im Rendering That Octavian Drawing Because I Thought It Was Silly Enough To Do So,

I’m rendering that Octavian drawing because I thought it was silly enough to do so,

And I’m actually going to try to render something for once!! Anyway here’s a eye sneak peak,

Okay I’m gonna keep at it

*Update I hate drawing lips with all my heart and soul and I swear the next time I go look at this picture and have to draw the mouth im going to cry

I know it’s not hard to point out reactionaries hypocrisy when it comes to like safe spaces or hug boxes or whatever but genuinely how much of an echo chamber do you have to exist in for you to think this is a reasonable thing to say

Okay, because i keep shouting from the rooftops about a daughter of Janus in Camp Jupiter Classified or whatever I’m not grabbing the book to look, being named Janice. And how much that personally annoys me,

First off I have no qualms with her character because I haven’t read about Janice yet. But both names are pronounced the same, Janice is literally just a female version of Janus. It just felt lazy.

Which like- I get names don’t have to be deep about these characters, and a name can be rather surface level. But Janice feels lazy in my opinion and It just really rubs me the wrong way. For a legacy of Janus sure Janice is silly and it’s a little cheeky to reference their lineage. But from a direct descendant? That just ainduejdjdoaodmfn, y’know?

But here are the alternatives I’m thinking over for when I get to talking about hc for Janice and other characters,

January; it’s still a silly little reference to Janus, but it feels a little different- it’s not pronounced the same way and feels more eccentric. And while I haven’t read Camp Jupiter field guide I feel like Janice gives me silly eccentric vibes.

iana; Iana (I spelled it originally with the lowercase because I get confused over lowercase L and uppercase I on my phone) is a Roman Goddess that is associated with the moon and arches- usually considered either a form of Diana (Artemis’s Roman counterpart) or a counterpart to Janus. It feels a little more, interesting- like my mind can go so many story ideas with just naming her Iana, and it’s a much subtler reference.

Okay I wish I said I had more but I generally like the concept of Iana the most from the brief research I did.

But I’ll get inking update out tomorrow!!

Good night :3

I want to draw but the innate urge to scrap my entire art style and try to draw in a way I want to but would have to spend so much time physically re-doing things and digitally is so annoying.

Trying to draw Percy (digitally, I forgot paper to draw traditionally. I might lament and draw Pompey or something) to get into a better mood, he’s the first character I draw ever when considering a new style.

Might just go read the Aeneid to clear my head. But the itch to work on the art is never ending.

I don’t even post my art on here that often lol. But I’d like to say that I need to get my hands on some paper. Drawing digitally is draining my spirit, please-

There. That is all the art I will produce this night. Yes that is my visual representation of me. The art won’t art guys.

But once I get home I’ll get back on the Camp Jupiter map grind. Now I just gotta… work a lot of things out.

*don’t mind the arm far from the camera I forgot a line that makes it look a little less weird but oh well I just scribbled that for the post so no one cares about the stupid shoulder on the character that literally defies all semblance of anatomy and that’s part of the joke*

Silly Billy on the internet talks about how much they hate minimalism for 5 minutes; a post.

Know what? I was going to go and make the post about Camp Jupiter’s views on powers (which- my synopsis is; they don’t like them, or value them much and they are somewhat like ostracized as something not to be relied on- ties in with a bunch of stuff I’ll explain but yeah-)

But then I got a giant spike to shout to the rooftops about how much I hate minimalism.

Sure minimalism is whatever and whatever. But you know what it is? The rich man’s aesthetic, it’s ruined so much of interesting things simply for the measure of trying to look more expensive.

There was a rant I once went on about how I hate modern architecture. But this adds on to my hate of the Minimalism umbrella. It takes away any life that has been put into homes and sucks it dry. Like- look at some of these photos,

I’ll be honest I pulled these off of google, do I have background knowledge. No? Do I have the innate urge to sob and give up on humanity when I see them. Yes. The removal of these beautiful and graceful architectural styles is (also the removal of a lot of history and important parts of history because architecture plays a big role on that and blah, blah, blah) icky. I don’t like seeing this ultra-modern architecture, it makes me feel nervous when I see Seattle and these beautiful historic buildings and worry that someone with big pockets and a ego will go turn it into giant glass tower because of whatever stupid reason.

Please, minimalism makes me feel gross and I refuse to like it. Am I too upset at the moment to form a solid argument, yes. Do I want to come onto my tumblr where everyone probably agrees with me and argue to the brick wall about how much I hate minimalism, no? But am I feeling irrationally angry at any minimalistic, modern aesthetics, modern high art (you know the type of modern high art I mean, I’ll be honest I don’t like abstract pieces-)

I am a biased source because I personally am 6-feet-under in the opposite direction for maximalism, (it’s not hoarding, please look at maximalism beside minimalism and tell me what looks better. I know that’s personal opinion but this is my i am very upset about something that isn’t just a fictional book series moment) along with just older styles. I don’t like modern architecture.

Anyway on that note I love what they did for the big house in PJO tv show and it is amazing and every set makes me so happy because it directly makes me giggle and kick my feet and like hainensnfksjdbfjsjsnfjs. I love it and I want more people to build in the same vein as them because I garuntee they look 10x as better than the awful black and white box mansions.

Also I have a family friend who works in architecture and like making houses and I cry everytime they bring me to their next work site and it’s this beautiful building that is amazing. I remember being brought to an old run down 1910s-1940s era farmhouse and being really excited only to come back maybe a year later and finding a sickening black and white monochromatic farmhouse nightmare that I genuinely almost sobbed at.

But I love my family friend and the work she and her husband do and that to a degree it’s also client opinion but like- she makes a lot of the choices for these things and the next time I am brought out to their project sight I will be sitting there strongly encouraging to fight against the oppressive hand of minimalism. That was extreme, but I really like architecture, never talk about it- but genuinely one of my favorite things in this world is architecture and interior design

(If anyone cares my current favorite building is the La Sagrada Familia that is being constructed in Barcelona.)

Anyway that was a angry rant because I just got very upset for no reason over current western (I live in america and therefore don’t speak for the rest of the world, but in regards to the U.S.A which is Tartarus trust me) mainstream trends and culture deciding to lean into this minimalism clean era, which has been influenced by a myriad of things (see I can use myriad in a sentence- only know the word because of Heathers: The musical lol-)

But I’ll be posting that Camp Jupiter powers post… at some point when I write it. I hate minimalism and I pinky promise that I have more interests outside of Percy Jackson.

Gonna work on some schoolwork but I’m gonna get a post out about my thoughts on how Camp Jupiter views powers/Godly inherited abilities soon.

Also map will probably be drawn.. at some point :D
