Beautiful Loser

Born To Die: Feet, don't fail me now, take me to the finish line Oh, my heart, it breaks, every step that I take But I'm hoping, at the gates, they'll tell me that you're mine Paradise: You got that medicine I need; fame, liquor, love Give it to me, slowly Ultraviolence: I'm pretty when I cry Honeymoon: I lost myself when I lost you Lust For Life: There's a change gonna come I don't know where or when But whenever it does, we'll be here for it Norman Fucking Rockwell: Don't ask if I'm happy; you know that I'm not

... Nope. : o I actually don’t read western comics that much. .____.

Same.

I think I prefer the first video, hmm. I was thinking earlier today that this character he’s playing would look really cool as a comic book character. I kinda want a story with this character, haha.

I'M SCREAMING LMAOOOO

I was joking.

Finally a video for Blinding lights! I'll watch it now.

Omggggg so CUTE Mom’s been saying she wants a dog for like a year now, maybe I can convince her to get us a wiener.

Omg what a cute gif haha <3

This thread better be nominated for drama of the year for Lipsters 2020 lol

Oh, okay. Yeah, good to hear that you never copy original artwork. ♥ And I agree with you, it's a different thing to have an idea and later find that someone else has created something similar - it's a large world out there, so I wouldn't be surprised if there's one or two people who has created something similar too! Can I just say that your cover with Malecifent in the background is stunning? I think it's a great idea to use that picture of Lana and make her Sleeping Beauty, and your artwork would look soooo good if it was a movie poster. Disney should hire you! As for your question about the UV cover: I've always preferred the alternative cover from Urban Outfitters. It's just her hands with gorgeous red nails on the finger tips playing with the hole in her jeans. Rippes jeans aren't perfect, they're broken and, together with the album title, it makes me think that there might be something more going on which you won't know unless you play the album. The black and white cover art is pretty too, but like you said, it's just her posing casually in front of a car and it could almost go for any album cover. I think it's the black/white color that makes it "ultraviolence" though. I don't think I would buy an album with just a pretty face with a black eye on the cover (unless there's something in the background which helps to tell the story), but, like I mentioned, I really like the alternative cover art so much more. :3 It's subtle I guess, and not so... you know, violent, haha.

Oops lel, I mixed them up. xP Thanks for correcting.

I didn’t pay attention to the text on his cap until now...

Ooh, which game? ♥ And I'm really flattered to hear that my drawing makes you wanna try the game, haha.

I think someone found (in 2018?) her clinic to be located in New York and since she was recently there... possibly.

And I want to use the materials I choose. I get their point, but I don't want to use blood. I faint easily when I see blood and I've seen enough during the anatomy classes I've had. And I'd probably puke if I had a cup of blood standing next to me for hours while working with it. I've worked with different kinds of pencils before (HB 2B etc, like they mentioned above) and I've been thinking of trying them again lately. And like I wrote in my OP, I'm also trying to play with markers (and watercolor) lately.

No.

Yeah, I... I think I'll refrain from painting with blood lol.

... I might have created a short video. Warning! Contains extreme violence, don't watch if you're under 18! I tried to edit out the worser parts, and I don't know if you had to be 18 to watch the movie but a quick google search said so, so I'll go with that. https://filebin.net/fbvw2med99bc4gd5/UOATIH_Scarface.mp4?t=9j7ogvr6

You're not the first person to suggest that. I even had a new made friend offering me advice if I'd ever start an Etsy shop.I'm just so convinced that no one would be interested in buying my art (but then again, me selling it could just be a thing I do on the side of other things I suppose, it doesn't have to be a full-time project) because not even I think it's very interesting. I enjoy making art but like... I just find it hard to imagine that anyone would want to buy my black and white things lol. But I did buy a notebook to write down things if I ever want to start an Etsy. Because I have so many questions that I want to try to find an answer to before I start, so I figured I could write down things concerning starting a shop in it. So I guess that's a small step already? One of those questions is like... who to hire to print up X copies of a drawing, and how much would that cost? You're also not the first person to suggest that I study something about art. Once again, I just can't imagine finding a job with an art degree (because I've heard it can be so competitive - and I've never really worked with digital art, which I assume is something "everyone" should know today) and I don't think I'm strong or creative enough right now to start something on my own. And there's a small voice telling me to not think I'm somebody and that anyone could replace me. "There's always someone better out there" after all, why would anyone want me/be interested in my art? Also, I'm not sure if I want to keep art as a hobby or if I should try yo make a profession of it yet. Thank you for the comment though!

(Mods, please move this to the news section later. ♥ I'm too impatient for wait for you to approve a new thread there.) Lana's acclaim continues!

I know that. I know that, too. But I have also seen fashion brands literally stealing art by smaller, often independent artists and sellers. And that's not cool. What I meant is that I think it's sad that they can rip off an idea so obviously and not even trying to change something to make it their own and not a complete copy. Stealing someone's idea is different from being inspired by it. Is the font identical to Lana's font for LFL? No. But you have to admit it's a funny concidence that the font is very similar, has the same/similar colors (red with white background) and they chose to print "Los Angeles" on the fabric, a city Lana very often sings about. Those three things combined make me, a fan, think of Lana Del Rey and her LFL album. I probably wouldn't have reacted if the colors were different or the font was tweaked even more to make it less similar to Lana's. Also, just to clarify, I refer the LFL font as "Lana's" simply because I don't know who's decision it was to use it for the album. And the question is if it's always okay to do so. I'd say no, and I don't say to to "protect" Lana and her brand or whatever, because I honestly think she could care less, but I once again mean that it's not ok to take someone else's art and gain money or fame from it. Only the original creator should get that. Plagiarism will happen, yes, but you can also try to stop it by pointing out when it's wrong. Will it stop? No, because there's always someone who think they'll get away with it. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't do anything and just stand and watch when it happens. When you say that you're guilty of taking ideas and using them, I hope you mean that these ideas inspire you to create something of your own and not taking them as they are, a finished product? Once again, it's a different thing to see, say, an illustration of a fairy and feel inspired to create your own fairy than to trace the lines of the already existing image and call it your own. I don't well enough about fonts to know how it works when it comes to using them, so I will refrain from making a comment about that. This might also be my last comment on the pictures I shared in December.

Ya I figured, I just thought that Lana might have made the LFL font more popular since the album got Grammy nominated and stuff. Plus, the white color of the fabric and the wine red color of the letters... aaaand I wouldn’t be surprised if H&M was “inspired” by popular stuff they see, basically steal it and print it on their clothes. It’s not like other fashion brands haven’t done it before. Not to mention that they picked “Los Angeles” to print, the same city Lana lives in.By yeah, I think the Calvin Klein logo is just a coincidence. Was just something fun I wanted to share, that’s all.

Imagine hearing “doN’t FUcK wid Me!!1!” on repeat after that last scene with the fire cannon and the pool.

@ I honestly thought Valerie had come back when I saw your blue Pikmin profile pic.
