tbh the people i’ve met who really empathize with villains are people who have been villainized in their own lives and unjustly made to feel like they’re bad people by those around them. They doubt themselves and instinctively want to support disliked and obviously flawed characters, characters doomed to fail, and attempt to find the good in those characters that no one in their own lives see in them.
real evil people don’t relate to villains, they see themselves as the hero. :\
This really holds to my theory that the best villains are played by actors who are genuinely good people. Compare Jared Leto’s abominable work as the Joker to the villainous prowess of Vincent Price, Anthony Hopkins, Mark Hamill, and my BAE Wentworth Miller.
Good people know what villainy is, so they know how to portray it. Bad people don’t.

Anonymous asked: How do you go about getting your art noticed? I've been trying for some time, but nothing substantial comes from it. It's a bit discouraging sometimes.
sorry man, I get asked this from time to time and I still don’t know how to answer! the thing is I never really aimed for it, and even now I don’t really pay attention to notes- I just draw what I feel like I need to draw, and sometimes people really like it! it’s often the pieces I least expect to be popular that take off- also you have account for the fact that I’m an old fogey in terms of posting content online (like, I started back on DA and that was what, ten years ago? holy smokes) and a large part of getting an audience online is simply time; just keep producing content that brings you joy that’s the only real advise I can give you
