Morning Star Rail doodle that got out of hand and I ended up coloring.

#honkaistarrail #starrail #danheng #trailblazer #march7th #stelle
Star rail fan comic. Panel 1: March 7th and Trailblazer/Stelle burst into the Archives, surprising Dan Hang. March 7th: “Dan Heng! Quick! We need you!” Trailblazer/Stelle: “It’s an emergency!” Panel 2: the three walk in a hurry. Trailblazer/Stelle: “You’ll definitely need to transform for this.” Panel 3: same as panel 2 but Dan Hang transforms into his new form. Dan Heng: “Okay.” Panel 4: March 7th points at the box they can’t reach. March 7th: “We can’t reach it and Mr. yang isn’t here to grab it for us.” Trailblazer/Stelle: “I’m banned from climbing the shelves after what happened last time.” Panel 5: Dan Heng looks up at the box in disbelief since he thought something bad had actually happened. Panel 6: same shot as panel 4 but Dan Heng reaches up to grab the box. Dan Heng: “I don’t think this constitutes an emergency…” Trailblazer/Stelle: YAAAAY!! You got it!”

It’s been a while since I posted some sketchbook stuff! All of my recent warm up doodles have been Honkai Star Rail related since I got back into the game.

Top left drawing is of Trailblazer/Stelle and Dan Heng with Stelle doing the pointing meme at him. It’s styled like it’s one of the photographs taken on their trip. Top right is of an over enthusiastic Stelle and a tired Dan Heng. Bottom left is a scene from the seal game event with Dan Heng wearing the seal glasses asking if there’s a problem while Stell laughs and asks “what’s with the party animal look?!” Bottom right is Stelle forcing Dan Heng into a selfie with Amphoreous scenery in the background for March 7th. Drawing of Evernight Drawing of Dan Hengs new form Drawings of two different reuniting scenes. Top one is a photo finally taken by March 7th with the trio together again. Bottom is Dan Heng finally finding Stelle after being separated for many years.

My last few hourlies!

#hourlycomicday
#hourlycomicsday
5 pm - reads little of the book club book then gave Frankie flea and tick meds. She got the zoomies because it’s stinky. 6 pm ate a vegetable pizza with beer and watched Star Trek Deep Space Nine. 7 pm - VR game night! We get together with a few friends on Saturday to play. The world we went to looked like a Panera bread and I found a goose. 8pm - we went to a surreal world. Text “hmm do we need to find missing people? Did a CRIME happen?” Then “there was no crime. It was more of an exploration. It was very surreal” 9pm - text says “As dogs we will sniff out the mystery of this world!” Next panel shows signs that say no dogs in icon form. Someone tells “NOOOO!!” While the other says “How does the game know?!” Then a random panel saying “Am I inside the hairy tummy of a cat??” Due to the texture looking like cat fur. 10 pm - “we beat the super long surreal one!!” Someone logs out because they’re getting tired. Next panel shows that we ended up in a horror world but got lost in a maze. 11 pm - we usually play until midnight but we called it early since a few people got motion sickness. We say good night then I get ready for bed.

1pm - caught up on hourlies and watched Clickbait on Netflix. Frankie was barking at the hallway guys so we watched in the bedroom. 2pm - made a super lazy lunch with cod and hash browns with hot sauce and kewpie mayo. Other panel shows Franking barking at noises then says “Back to the bedroom to watch clickbait due to hallway noise.” 3pm - panel showing we think it’s the last episode but in reality we have 2 left. Then we think we know who did it. 4pm - we were wrong as to who did it. Frankie sleeps through the episode

9am - shows Alex saying “do you think duck eggs taste the same as people eggs?” I say “wha-“ and then he says “CHICKEN EGGS!! I MEAN CHICKEN EGGS!! I am not awake…” then shows a shower head and smoked salmon bagels. At 10 am it says we walked Frankie to Petco for a grooming appointment and shows her barking and sniffing and pooping. 11 am - shows us walking around the thrift store and a collection of book finds as well as the game Harvest Moon. 12 pm - we picked up Frankie and she basically sprinted home. Then shows that they are redoing and painting our hallway. Last panel shows Frankie happy with a fancy treat.

I'm already so tired... Happy Year of the Snake everyone!

I wanted to do a New Years drawing earlier this month, but everything got busy right out of the gate so the Lunar New Year seemed like the perfect opportunity.
A drawing of overwhelmed me with swirly anime nerd glasses. Hair in braids and wearing sweatpants and a sweatshirt. Behind is the number 2025 and an orangey red snake for the Year of the Snake. Everything is surrounded by sparkles.

5 min OOTD! Like any proper tired and on-deadline illustrator, I originally drew this on the wrong layer lol
