That said I NEED to stop fixing my art style. I hate that it evolves constantly, but I gotta remember that all the greats have had their art evolve over time.

That said I NEED to stop fixing my art style. I hate that it evolves constantly, but I gotta remember that all the greats have had their art evolve over time.
I'm also fixing up a lot of pre-vis refs as well.
I'm kinda treating this almost like I'm producing an animated show haha
Figure having more tools in the beginning will help me in the long run ππππππ
Oh btw I have started thumbnailing chapter 1 of my comic!! I got a bit impatient haha.
Chapter zero is stl gonna appear first, but I figure I need to just move through loosely first before I get too into the weeds.
Trying to figure out a good rhythm. ππππππ
Yeah I'm looking for a new dayjob again because I am getting paid peanuts. My rent, bills, and groceries can't keep up.
I know I didn't make as much as I could have in animation, but boy it was more comfortable than not...
I keep seeing job listings for the FBI, but it's led by a complete and total loser, so not even attempting (tbh I would not be fit to work there, or maybe because I complete and total loser is the director I AM competent enough LMAO)
That and government jobs these days are so unstable, so eeughhh
I haven't be actively drawing the past few days because it hurts to lift my arm *sobs*.
In slightly less depressing news (but still kind of a bummer), I think I'm dealing with a persistent pinched nerve in my drawing ahoulder and it's been annoying me for two weeks.
There has to be someway to unpinch it, no?
Otherwise I guess I need to schedule an acupuncture appointment. π
Not to be like really dark on my timeline, but is it kind of fucked up that I just kinda feel numb after horrifying mass shooting happened in Austin last night less than 20 min away from me?
Where do I begin?
(Including all the horrific shit happening overseas)
Whooaa so prettyyyy πππ
Come on Texas, we can do it! ππππππππ
Vote early! No lines!!
I still need to financially support myself in general in order to do this, but I'm not putting all of that weight and expectation on my comic.
It doesn't remove the fact I am still financially struggling and may for a very long time, but I'm trying to focus on the joy of doing my art regardless.
The funny thing is when I started the concept of this story I wanted it to be this big thing that would become a hit.
Now I honestly don't care.
I'm doing it mostly for me, and if like...2 people like it, I'm happy.
Finally started thumbnailing the first chapter of my comic tonight. It's becoming a reality now y'all.
I'm proud of me!! π₯Ήπ₯Ήπ₯Ήπ₯Ήπ₯Ή
Omg for real though, I feel you
πππ
Ohohoho well, you know...πππ
ππππ
Just sketching stuff and things
ππππππ
Speaking of Colossal...why the hell did they market it as a comedy? I will never know...(I don't say this often, but this one actually needed a trigger warning)
Midsommar:
INCREDIBLE film. I was again, very distressed watching it because it so well acted and played on relationship dynamics so well (and that group crying scene distressed me so much)
Colossal:
SEVERELY mis-marketed, so I wasn't prepared for how emotional distressing it was (but it was the core theme of the movie and it worked so well)
I think I have two?
Colossal and Midsommar
Not that I wouldn't watch them again, but I would need to be very mentally prepared to watch them a second time.
They are phenomenal movies!
I still haven't found an "exercise" I particularly enjoy. I wish I had another person to do the acitivity with. That will be the only way you'll see me be physically active π π π π
Heavily debating on getting myself some roller skates. The question is if I'll ever use them enough π

I used to own inline skates, but I wanna know how to use quad skates. π€
Exactly!
I hate this idea you have to suffer for your craft to consider your accolades earned? Whatever happened to just the joy of it and have the act of competition just be a structure in which to display your skills? (Also kindness in sport goes a long way)
These young people give me hope ππ
Go outside, go get a journal to write your stupid thoughts in (privately), and go get some fucking therapy.
What the fuck is wrong with you people?
These people need serious therapy. I will never understand fandoms...like--GO. OUTSIDE.
Seriously I need to know her secret of chill, because I'm fully aware that I'm a giant ball of stress π π π
Been casually watching figure-skating (I think enjoy it b/c it crosses more into performance & art rather than sport imo) & omg I love all these young skaters energy & great sportsmanship.
Heck I really envy Alysa Liu's joy and healthy attitude about her craft. Let's have more of this please!
The Predator (2018)
I completely checked out mentally in the middle of it and after I left the theater I was so annoyed.
This is not an opinion, it's a fact: this movie was AWFUL (Don't even give me the "it was so bad it was good." NO NAH NOPE).
I'm so glad Prey completely made up for this.
(This was from a younger person)
