Artist, nerd, pretty cool guy. Lover of stories and media in general; ask me about character analysis.

Strong feelings about AI, don't get that nonsense near me.

I need to draw more :')

Gonna hopefully be able to work on my project soon! Life's like... tolerable, which feels weird and it's taking a while to get used to not being in survival mode, but it's a good sort of frustration, I guess.

Anyhoo, gonna drop bits of my project here and there if I can :D
I do not know how to react to 400 follows and a sketch getting so much attention, so I'm gonna uhh, give a light-headed thumbs up and sketch more stuff soon, hopefully :')

I guess I found the style I wanna use for my overambitious game project, so, thanks y'all, even if you don't see this :'D

More sketches for project brainstorming stuff; I really do need to settle on a style eventually :')

I think hearing a genuine "good job" or "I'm proud of you" would fix a lot of my braingoo, and I'm almost annoyed at how simple/juvenile of a solution that is. Being a person is hard.

Art hard

Haven't updated Auchnein/Faust's design since like... middle school? And I don't wanna draw this ever again :'D

I sort of exist again!

I tend to name online game characters Dantalian because harhar, it's funny to me, and one of them in particular stuck around and I should draw her more :V

Sorry it's just been nothing but me buggin' out for a while. Filed for disability back in February, my claim went to final review on the 10th, and I'm already getting my denial letter on the 12th. It took this long for someone to just say 'no' in less than a day. I'm so tired.

Our landlord wants us caught up by Monday and we can't just pull over a grand out of thin air. I'm terrified and feel like I'm going to throw up our of fear and anger that my family is so cruel. I'm not doing well and can't get back on my feet no matter how hard I try. This absolute sucks.

Trying to vary the color palettes for some characters for my project I keep trying to work on. Bright side of them all being RPG PCs at some point means I've got a good grip on their personalities; downside is getting kinda same-ey, looks-wise :')

Today's a very garbage day in a string of garbage days, so comfort OC time, complete with his old, jarring color scheme. He's just happy to be here; I'm envious :I Oh, to have 7 int and 20 con.

I'm nearly negative 300 bucks, about to get evicted, and unable to eat food. I'm in and out of doctor's offices so much because of stress exacerbating whatever's wrong, and my family refuses to help at all. I don't know what to do and my body's shutting down and that hurts. I need help.

I am so tired :'D I just wanna write stories and make stuff

There's more info on the donation page, but typically when a family member says, "I feel like I'm already and in Hell," you'd be like, "oh dang, I should probably help!" and not "skill issue." But it is what it is.

Our grandparents left my brother and I a significant sum of money when they passed, but mine was made disability-compatible. Bro spent his on drugs. His rehab and bail were paid by our parents. He later took my portion. Parents won't help me. I don't know what to do. I'm tired. I hate this.
August 22, 2025 at 3:37 PM
I'm so tired, in ways 300 characters are not nearly enough to express. I really do just want friends and to make stuff, but being disabled, having cartoonishly bad luck, and a very unfortunate personality make that hard. Shouldn't hate being stubborn about genuine kindness but here we are :')

I wanted to quickly doodle one of my freak-ass elves from the setting I've been fiddling around with, and it turned into definitely less-than-quick-doodle. (He's particularly weird, even by elf standards.)
