i mostly write in my journals. every now and then i share something online though. sometimes nonsense

i take being unserious very seriously

you can also find me on inaturalist under burdsandwurds
seeing quite a few people that need this reminder lately

a lot of these people wanting to “debate” you are just making bad faith arguments and trying to tire you out

you don’t owe them your time or energy

everyone on my timeline won’t stop talking about the topic of the day, ai, and here i am just wishing i was out birdwatching where ever the heck this place is while plotting how to earn millions of dollars to just give away to ecological restoration projects

hybrid heaven, without hesitation

the story was meh
the platforming was meh
the dungeon crawling was meh

the turn based hand to hand combat was the coolest ever and it’s a crime it didn’t catch on with other games

trying to riff a little off of kyosai’s painting of two crows but giving it a slightly different energy, getting frustrated with the results, and giving up

still felt the effort was worth sharing though

my attempt at a stoat. words can not even begin to describe that the fact this came out even halfway decent was because i was able to catch myself in the middle of making mistakes and fixing them as i went.

i was going to draw more today, but this burned me out.

the three reference photos i used for the animals

my scribble page for the day, working more with textures and shapes than anything else

i’m pretty pleased with the three animals, especially the mole

i messed up the squirrel and worked pretty hard to cover it up without making it worse

apparently it’s easier to draw winding roads if you look at an actual map. who knew?

i decided to redraw this image from scratch and am much happier with the results, from the composition to the roads still feeling winding and organic, but more organized.
