HEY! Have you read my comic, Kuro Shouri? It's a slow-burn action/fantasy about two high schoolers who are being hunted down by demons! If you like 90s style shonen, slow burn character relationships, and lots of martial arts and sword action, check it out!

Me: When did I start giving Hisaki more of a chin??? I used to draw his chin the same as Kakon's.
*carefully inspects hundreds of pages*
Me: Oh. Style change. Duh.
And this is why I shouldn't be required to take 3 hour breaks between drawing sessions!!! I get super bored!

Re: Discord...I ain't happy about it either, and honestly? Bro, I grew up emailing my friends. I will go back to that if I have to. And considering that next Jan., my state is enacting the ID verification thing, I might have to anyway.

I can’t help but notice that every morning lately, I wake up with my hand feeling loose and nice. It used to feel stiff and sometimes painful.
The physical therapy really is doing wonders for me ;w;

So, I plugged the tentative page numbers into the calculator to figure out how many days I have left on vol. 3.
My initial estimate that I did when I was only making 1 page a day? I'd finish in mid-May.
Now it's looking like mid- to late March. HOT DAMN. Just a little longer and I'll be done!!!

I made 3 1/2 pages today... just a little more strength and I could have finished the fourth page. Very exciting! Time for more hand exercises!! 🥰💪

Day 172 of posting art ‘til my hand is healed. The first picture I drew of Touya for his second arc. In this picture, he looks the way he’s supposed to – disheveled, and like he isn’t taking care of himself. In the comic, he ended up with total Daddy energy instead. Whoops!

I did it again! I drew for 2 hours and 45 minutes! And my hand is less wobbly this time, now that I'm finished. PROGRESS! I'm so excited to keep doing my exercises now that I'm seeing some results! 🥰

Day 171 of posting art ‘til my hand is healed. This is actually the first picture of Kijo I ever drew. I remember seeing that ponytail on some random anime character and being inspired. Because apparently I design from the hair first xD

Oh wow. Just found the one comic wallpaper I ever did, way back in 2019. It was a Patreon exclusive, but since my Patreon isn't a thing anymore, I put it here for anyone who may want it. -w-
I should make more wallpapers...if only for myself, haha.

Me: I don't have OCD, I dunno what the docs are talking about.
Me, just now: Hubby, when you're done with the cleaning cloth, fold it in thirds with the logo facing up.
Hubby: Why?

Reading more Inuyasha. Is it just me, or is it mildly frustrating that they keep going up against Naraku, only for him to skedaddle away every time? 😂😅
It was cool to see Kagome blow him up this time, but still!

To add to this, I don't know why people don't understand that genAI is following the same playbook as tech in the 2010s - disrupt the market and labor with low costs, then when you have market share, charge more. It will never be cheaper than even an iPad. You are renting a service you can't keep.
"Being anti AI is class privilege! Poor people can't afford to learn how to make art without it!"
Yes. Famously, all artists are extremely wealthy.
