⭐Art Vs. Artist 2024⭐
I was absolutely procrastinating doing this this year. My ability to make art fell off a cliff in August and I've been self-conscious as hell ever since.
Still, this was encouraging. I can say that what I did make, I really, ~really~ liked.

Current followers on this platform? Probably Heinrich because all they know is my Alpha Base phase and -I- won’t shut up about him.
But all-time fave is likely one of my tikedi from Prophecy of the Circle. I’d say Jahrd himself, or maybe Stiggs. There’s a -lot- of love for Myrnak, too.

Potentially weird hill to die on, but I got through that week and finally had a minute to sit and feel.
You know, euthanasia for pets should be free. I get that there are costs associated with it, but the animal can’t help that it’s dying, y’know? It seems like a cruel thing to profit off of.

Elliot would 1000% solve all problems. Loving everyone (not Paul) whether they like it or not is her thing.
Orvin would abuse them a little selfishly to become even more entertaining. Still a win.
Do NOT give any of my other characters superpowers. I specialize in designing dumpster fire humans. 😐

If your OC would gain superpowers - would they use those to make the world a better or a worse place?

I haven’t watched *Batteries Not Included since I was so little (likely single digits) that I forgot the whole plot except for the robots themselves (and a bit of Faye), but it was actually better than I remembered.
I was craving something heartfelt but dorky and the 80’s were where that was at.

That time I forced my best beloved OC into a wedding dress.

Speaking of the wedding, I have a buddy who suggested that I conquer my jitters by putting my beloved deep-space assassin/librarian, Heinrich, into the frilliest wedding dress I could think of.
It worked a little too well. Ah — I love this. ._.;;

I will add that while Heinrich isn’t a marriage/relationship type of guy, whatever he has going on with his best friend Errick is at least pushing the boundaries on the definition of just friendship.
And he did, at one point, develop a complicated fondness for Elliot’s mom.
He’d deny both.

In Alpha Base? Heinrich: no. He’s canonically aro and ace, completely uninterested and unsuited for romantic relationships.

I’ve got a few married OC’s, but not many among my main cast.
In Prophecy of the Circle, Jahrd will probably get married one day. Not sure about the rest of my tikedi.
I was feeling kind of the opposite of romantically minded when I wrote that one. Even most of the parents are single/divorced. 😬

Part of me is still quietly hoping for some sort of miracle, but I think that's ultimately not a thing. I'm going to miss this little guy, although I would like to be wrong about that.
He made it to 16, though (his birthday was just on Halloween), and he has always been heartily loved.

Ach. It’s not so much that when it rains, it pours, it’s that it never stop raining.
Got a lil feline guy in my life that’s not doing so great and I’m worried.
I painted a portrait of him - my buddy’s cat, Pavi, a few years back. He’s tiny and sweet and loud and good. Send good thoughts, guys.

Most of my Alpha Base cast would be traumatized by virtually -any- kind of weather. The base itself doesn’t have any: no sun, no clouds, no moon, no stars. It’s dark, dry, and cold 24/7.
Sketches from a couple of years ago: Heinrich in summer on Earth = miserable.

Regrettably: no. Nothing clear, anyway. I never really dream about my OC’s or fictional characters at all.

Verdict: I think it kinda did!
But I swear I won't make a habit of it. I only drink the stuff one can at a time, a couple of times a year at most, and that's how we maintain.

I had a major issue with getting depressed and mindlessly scrolling. I’ve been deleting any apps that cause a resurgence in that bad behaviour just to make it more difficult to access, but I found that I still needed -something- to fill the void.
Solution: put on an 80’s film in the background.

Starting in an obvious spot. Again. I’ve tried to do a ref sheet for Heinrich twice before but both times I ran out of attention span.
The first sketch of him on the left is from 2023 when I’d only known him for a week. Redraw on the right.

Things I want:
- to someday participate in Art Fight
- to commission other artists and arrive in their inboxes prepared!
Both of these require me to engage with my nemesis:
- character reference sheets
Maybe it’s time, though.
