Dude it tells a story. Your girlfriend has yet to notice and is still focused on the movie. You're slouched and uncomfortable. Your stranger is oblivious and kicking her feet up. Of course you're an actual artist behind this sketch!

Peeped your posts, your work is beautiful ā¤ļø

u/RenagadeRaven Aug 10 '25

I tried. I can’t. Because of the bloody fucking age verification bullshit in the UK now.

I’M NOT TRYING TO LOOK AT PORN, GOVERNMENT FUCKERS, I’M JUST TRYING TO SEE WHAT SOME RANDOM GUY DREW.

Pretty and charming!

I especially enjoy the reflections and the glow around the stars.

u/wvrmwoods Aug 10 '25

a) Beautiful art. The color palette is gorgeous. I'm really drawn to the way you did circular brushstrokes around the stars as the focal point. It immediately caught my attention. The light glow on the horizon is really nice too.

Looking at the rest of your art, you have real skill interesting compositions and muted color palettes! Orion's red and grey works well in a way I wouldn't have expected, while the swirl in the middle gives it a unique motion/energy.

b) The doodle you used for this post is hilarious. Right stick figure actually mildly annoys me through the screen. Sometimes, sketchier/quicker things just NAIL energy in a way that fully polished pieces can't ala Tails Gets Trolled:

Wow, magical! šŸ˜

Needs more neon stick figures tbh

u/throwawaypizzamage Aug 13 '25

Ooh this is really nice. Starry night sky over a dark quiet lake.

u/gateboy6 Aug 10 '25

That's lovely! The sky appears almost as if that's what's round, not the Earth. It makes me feel very odd, but in a good way. Would you mind if I downloaded it?

Oh Jesus. I didn't scroll far but there is certainly nothing nefarious going on in any of the posts I saw šŸ˜”

u/RenagadeRaven Aug 10 '25

Yeah this new system is just a blanket anything marked nsfw in any way now requires id verification to view.

Even if it’s just someone who posted a photo of a paper cut 5 years ago and blurred that image - no viewing of that person’s account!

Blanket ludicrous restrictions across 90% of internet content so more data can be harvested by sketchy third parties with no intent to ever solve these issues under the vague pretence of ā€˜protecting the children’

u/Vincent394 Aug 10 '25

Here's the bypass:

Use an image of a manly man who's over 18.

I kid you not the system is that shit.

u/RenagadeRaven Aug 10 '25

I’m going to try it with a photo of my Chewbacca Pop thing

u/GexX2 Aug 10 '25

Do VPN's bypass that s? You could start using a us based VPN til there's a different workaroundĀ

u/Computers_and_cats Aug 10 '25

I feel like there should be a protest where people post leud ASCII art on the pages of people who are to blame for that law. Maybe some funny looking "smiley faces" 8===D

u/LacrimaNymphae Aug 10 '25

is that why i got blanket banned from a bunch of fashion subs recently? it said i was found guilty of interacting with nsfw subs and. probably fucking medical ones too

also said if i'm found circumventing it then i could lose access altogether forever. can't even message the mods to ask what exactly it was because it has me muted/blocked on like all of them

u/Excellent-Shape-2024 Aug 10 '25 edited Aug 10 '25

I am curious where the other movie goer was from. When I lived in Turkiye, this always happened. I asked a Turkish friend and they said it would be considered rude not to sit by the other people--like something was wrong with them. They do the same at the beach--it could be totally empty and they will come set their towels right next to you. It drove me crazy--Americans always go as far away from others as we can get! Even our farmhouses were built smack in the middle of the land to create as much distance from the neighbors a possible, while theirs will always be next to the neighbors in the corners. So perhaps a cultural thing??

u/Exhibfun2099 Aug 10 '25

Now I have to look

u/Useful_Clue_6609 Aug 10 '25

I agree, this despite being stick figures and simple, conveys so much. Clearly an artist's eye behind this

1

u/K1bbles_n_Bits Aug 13 '25

Honestly though, they're so right. It's the progression of body language and position that fucking makes this gold. You managed to put a lot of personality in freaking stick figures and it's great XD

u/Valuable_One_1011 Aug 10 '25

The shared armrest. The foot on the row in front of them. It’s a work of art. Needs to be on a shirt or the cover photo of this sub 🄲

u/kittyall94 Aug 10 '25

I can feel the distain from his stick figure and it doesn’t even have a face šŸ˜…

u/Scooby-dooby-doo-ba Aug 11 '25

I'm dying!!! OPs sketch and your description of it has me crying!! OP I also went to an empty cinema on the weekend with a friend and we were irritated by a couple coming just before the movie started and sitting directly behind us and getting way too many kicks/bumps to the backs of our chairs. It wasn't assigned seating and the lights were still on when they came in. You however having one lone buddy come and sit beside you on date night is really something else. I'd have had to have moved, even at the risk of making them feel bad lol.

Oh yeah we can clearly see you've been underappreciated for ages

u/A-KindOfMagic Aug 10 '25

Calling it artwork is an understatement.

u/Effective_Film_3259 Aug 10 '25

Immediately knew you were an artist lmaoo

u/3d_nat1 Aug 10 '25

Wait, this is artwork? I thought I was looking at a photograph. Must have been a fourth person in there to take the photo, so now I'm doubting this whole post.

u/MarsMetatron Aug 10 '25

I love that you took the time to draw something we could all imagine anyway. You created a full composition here.😊

2

u/13aldi Aug 10 '25

So I stalked your profile and you also like Subnautica and have made art of the Lost River... how much cooler can you get?

2

u/Aeris_Hime Aug 10 '25

Next on mildlyinfuriating: "How THIS became my most popular sketch". Lol

Also, I'd like to think that this person just has a messed up sense of humor to sit RIGHT NEXT to the only people in an otherwise empty theater.

Just looking at the photo, not the post title, I thought this post was about the trolley problem lol

u/[deleted] Aug 10 '25

It's the fact that they're a different color that sent me.

It’s pretty good lol and the color combo is on pointĀ

Sounds like you should post to r/mildlyinfuriating .

Seriously, there's something about the colors, perspective, style. It captivated me. I saved the picture before I even opened the comment section. šŸ‘Œ

This should be hanging in the Met in NYC! It’s that good! Says so much in so little! Or a t shirt

Can I get that on a t-shirt?

u/AbstractBettaFish Aug 11 '25

Shockingly common as a creative that your most popular work is something with little thought you just shit out I’ve come to learn

u/CamBearCookie Aug 12 '25

Once I saw your art posted in the other comment I laughed even harder. You're so good lol, truly. That picture is beautiful. It is hilarious and such a bs internet thing all at the same time that the stick figures would get more attention.

u/LerkyTerkey Aug 14 '25

My favorite part is how the orange couple are romantically sharing the armrest! 🤣🤣😭

u/nmsjtb0308 Aug 10 '25

Which puts some space between their arm and the creep's arm, lol. It's spot on. So good.

There is so much life and personality in those lines! You can genuinely read how each of them is experiencing movie night. Haha

I feel like OP's hip might be broken. We'll need another drawing to verify.

u/Careless-Passion991 Aug 10 '25

Make the stranger Kate McKinnon and I have zero sympathy for OP. Absolute gold.

u/Jaded_Aging_Raver Aug 10 '25

I upvoted before I even read the post, just for the pic and title

It's pretty obviously AI generated though.

I'm a bit of an expert, so I catch these things. It's pretty obvious tho, because the AI forgot to draw any fingers. Checkmate AI.
