I used to make little paper phone charms all the time and decided I wanted to make a little chibi Mollymauk for my phone. One day I'll be able to make acrylic versions of these lol

if you feel stuck or like you've stagnated and haven't improved
go back to an old project and rewrite (or redraw) even a page of it
compare them side-by-side
I can (almost) guarantee you that you'll see a difference between your past and present skill level

apropos of nothing except "godsdamn writing is so cool" -- I love periodically doing gender-swaps in my side projects (occasionally main ones)
sometimes it's just a couple
sometimes it's everyone
but the new perspective I can get never ceases to amaze -- and sometimes I even end up keeping it

I'm planning out artwork for another video and it's Mighty Nein fanart which I'm super excited about but I'm also including eight of the characters and making it super intimidating for myself.
It's super exciting, but holy heck why do I need to make it so challenging 😅

“All children held in immigration detention should be immediately released, and these facilities should be permanently shuttered.”
A group of pediatricians wrote an op-ed detailing the traumatic, lasting effects kids in detention centers will endure:

Liam Ramos is one of more than 1,700 children to have been put in family detention centers since 2025. We call for these centers to close.

Alright so it seems I've gotten to the point in Critical Role's campaign 2 where I am sobbing after each episode... Mostly since Found and Lost which makes sense lol.
Seriously, Critical Role is my favourite thing in existence and the fact that I was so late getting into it is a tragedy.

Working on video stuff today and it feels great. I'm eventually coming back to YouTube but I think my best course of action is to take my time a bit and get myself to a place where I can actually upload consistently. I put planning into my webcomic, it only makes sense to do the same for videos lol

I watched the animated Mighty Nein series and that made me want to finally watch the original campaign. I just finished episode 26 and since Mollymauk is my favourite character and for those who know... I am not okay 😭

I had the urge to get back into water colour painting recently so I've been playing around and experimenting. It's been years since I last did any sort of water colour painting but I'm having so much fun with it.
Definitely going to be doing more cute fantasy critters 😁

Trying so hard not to hate my job but they really test me. Any time I put in a specific time on my availability because I need a morning for meetings or just can't work they'll completely ignore my actual availability and schedule me for whatever they want.
The place is a disorganized shit show.

Been working on a commission for the past few months and so video work took a back seat so I could focus on that and deal with life lol.
Back to finally working on videos feels almost weird now though 🤣
Also, pray for my laptop... The poor thing is not doing great lol

Anxiety has been through the roof on all of the art work I've been needing to do. Thankfully life is settling down again so I can actually breath and think lol.
Working on all the things I need to catch up on and should have some new art posted soonish 😊

I had to move at the beginning of October and it took the entire month to both get the Internet hooked up and to just recover from the move. With work being insanely busy on top of that, I'm super behind on all the art stuff I've been working on. Thankfully I'm back online and working on art again 😁

Before I forget, here's the art for my most recent video. It's several of the characters from the book version of Howl's Moving Castle as they're described in the book.

Oh hey! I completely forgot this went up yesterday. September's video was later than I'd hoped it would be but we're in the middle of moving and work got crazy busy. But the video is up and it's all about Howl's Moving Castle! Check it out if you have the chance 😁

September's video is so close to being finally done. I had hoped to already have it posted but it will definitely be up before the month is over. I also have the art started for October's video and I'm pretty excited to make that one too.
One of these days I will figure out my productivity issues 🤣

I swear, every time I get a good roll going working on art stuff, my "real" job can sense it and calls me in for a random shift.
Tomorrow's shift could have been already on my schedule at the start of the week, but they really don't like planning ahead it seems.

Hey!
Did you know it's the best day of the year? International Vulture Day is here!!
It's a day to celebrate, share & support vultures, the most endangered (and misunderstood) family of birds in the world.
Take a moment to share a vulture with someone just how cool and important they are!

Scrolling through my feed and I saw this post that I forgot about. Fun fact, I would eventually delete this whole drawing and start over 🤣

I know I keep posting about this... I do have art to post but I keep forgetting to, but this one video is quickly becoming a series. I knew it was going to be a lot but I genuinely thought I could keep it at 20 minutes... Yeah that's not gonna happen 🤷

Been working on this video script and I've realized it's gonna have to be split into 2 videos which is a little extra work, but on the bright side, I've got video ideas to get me through to December now 😂

I'm finally getting the script written for my September video and I'm so excited about this video. I'm probably going to have to be careful not to end up with an hours long vid... I can talk about the topic for it for endless amounts of time 🤣
