Back when I was college I used to go to the library to read various things between classes, and I happened to come across this magazine in the periodicals that was dedicated to making and talking comics

Inking techniques, design, framing, etc

I have been desperately trying to find it again

Coloring wise I'm going to try for neon and see how it goes

"I'm always trying to save the world from itself" is a hell of a line, especially a western

“THE NON-ARTIST FIXATION ON HYPERREALISM AS THE PINNACLE OF ART IS CLEARLY PART OF THE REASON SO MANY ADULTS THINK THEY CANNOT DRAW OR CONSIDER THEMSELVES TO BE FAILURES, KAWAII, FOLK ART, DOODLES, OR OTHER EASIER ENTRY POINTS ARE CONSIDERED CHILDISH, WHICH IS WHY JAPANESE DRAWING BOOKS ARE BETTER…”

Today's fun fact with grandpa:
He says he's dead. Not dying. Dead.
He looks very much alive, has a pulse. But no.

The TV apparently informed him he is dead and nothing can convince him otherwise.

I was, however, able to convince him the dead still need to take their morning meds.

Fucking dementia

Til the direct message feature was removed from csp assets due to the recent scam mails

Huh.
I need to...
Fix links there, I think.

I've been having to use the 3d figures in csp so much because my brain keeps short circuiting if I don't
It irks me to no end, I used to be able to use minimal refs
All this bs stress going on has turned my brain into curdled pudding (T_T)

Another timelapse recording, but this time only sketch
The gaiaonline avi was fun to build, I think i want to save the design for more uses

Another one of my gaiaonline avi designs I wanted to try and draw, but instead of #wip screenshots, I turned on the timelapse recording feature on csp.

I debated between doing some halloween event freebies or not, ultimately decided to do my own avi for a change of pace

Nothing has made me more pro-union than dealing with my grandfather's medical expenses + perks

His insurance covers close to 100% of Dr. visits (and ER) and regularly covers his meds. Average 90 day supply is $0-5.

AND he has a OTC stipend of $350

Closest damn thing to universal healthcare istg

I saw a while back that the Blender foundation had announced a tablet version and I'm finally able to catch up on it, and I'm a little disappointed tbh

It's an ios build, then they'll port to android. But a community member is working on an android port they'll fold in
Neither is finished atm

I've had this error trying to update my pc (specifically some of the .net framework ones) for literal years and I still can't figure out the issue.

At this point the only things I haven't done is manually move/delete the update folder or do a full reset

11y/o laptop problems 😰

Good evening light yesterday

I use fixed wireless for internet (think cellular hotspots, sans the mobility) and it's been acting weird the last few days, then had a complete outage for half a day

Now that it came back, it's not only up to 3-4 bars (from 1-2 before), it's now 5g connected

345mbs down on my phone now
Hell yes

Today is the first "day off" I've had of caring for my grandfather with alzheimer's in a year, and it's all because of a medical fuckup that required two different ER visits to acknowledge and treat properly that has him in the hospital right now

Puppy has gone back to trying to kick my mom out of the house in the evening so that she can be taken for a walk and get her small piece of cheese before bed

Once again showing her "breed smart; puppy dumb" mentality

A little different one now
I wanted to do something halloween or spooky related, and this person's oc seemed to fit the vibe

For a long time i thought that artfight was the same artfight i saw years ago on deviantart where it was literal "have your OCs fight each other, winner gets most votes" deal

Now i know it's a free for all draw others' ocs fanart fest, and i wanna try participating next year if possible

Finished another freebie

I wanna draw some more but I cant focus on my own stuff and can't find anything I want to draw right now

I wish i could do commisions, but it's not something I can mentally handle while trying to do caregiver stuff right now
