It was so stupidly easy once I sat down and tried to figure it out, that I feel dumber.
How easy was it?
Comparison: You're locked out of your house and can't find a way in, you're halfway through calling a locksmith when you see that you haven't turned your key in the lock...

Was having a very good, productive time organizing my lore notes.... and then suddenly, EXISTENTIAL DREAD! It was a very, very, VERY extreme attack that time. x-x
So, I'm now just laying down and watching some King of the Hill to calm down. Sorry. x-x

Had a weird encounter today where I get on a packed train. There's a guy who I stand next to because it's the only place I can go, and he tells me to move somewhere else because he, "doesn't like men standing near him"
Whatever, I just move a few steps away, not worth dealing with whatever that was

I put a cushion on my chair, thinking that maybe my feet hurt when I sit because the chair is too low and so there's too much weight being distributed to that region.
....Tell me, why now, with the cushion, do my FEET NO LONGER TOUCH THE FLOOR?! AM I THAT SMALL?!
I'M NOT SMALL! PLEASE! BELIEVE ME!

This simple ruler is one of my closest companions at concept sketches.
I wish I could show the piece, but can't right now. Mostly because I wanna get further in pre-production before I start showing things, but also because I wanna make content out of the work process later.
Hope people like it!

I think... I've become acutely aware lately of my issues with language and odd way of speaking. Lately, a lot of the stuff I write/say "sounds wrong" and I'm not sure why or what's happening to me...
Maybe it's just all in my head? Maybe I'm overthinking it? Dunno.

I wonder if it should be a running gag that Tea & Torment does not have a logo yet. We have a mascot, but no logo.

So, this is how much I had prepared because I know how star rail's system can be when it comes to rolls and how much it takes to get one character.
That's about... I'd say... 7-8, 10-ticket rolls? So that's about... one chance at a 50/50 for the banner roll. Well....

Ya know, before I was Dusk, I wanted to be a manga artist.
I did create some stuff but it seems I forgot everything about how I used to outline and lay out panels. It's a very visual process and I'm not very good at that. :(
Maybe I should try a different paneling method?

I... have an idea... for something. It's gonna be hard, there's a tight deadline, and I can't guarantee I can finish it. But..... I want to try.

Here's an update on the BG I was working on for my streams.
I could technically start the coloring process... but I could also do more with the lineart....
Damn my perfectionism...

So I started drawing my vtuber background for when I start streams. I haven't drawn a BG in a while, but I think I'm making good progress.
There's a lot more I could do with it but I'm like: "Nah, too much effort." Plus my model is gonna be taking up the center of the screen.

Idea for a future project:
"It's like super sentai stuff, but corporate."
Hmmm, I guess it'd be kinda like MHA but instead of super heroes, it's rangers. With my current skillset, I can probably make that.
Wonder if I should assemble a team for this one?

Project idea: "It's a cozy game (stardew valley, my time at portia, fields of mistria, etc) but set in a post-apoc setting."
Probably not something I can do for quite some time, there's a long list of other projects to do first.

Just doing some minor polishing for DreamEater's GUI
Probably won't mess with it too much more than this, I have a habit of going overkill on design elements.

If you're sending out keys to content creators? Please treat steam curators with utmost skepticism, there's a huge network of fake curators who are running a massive scam, so please double and triple check them.

Prototype sketch of a new character has been drawn.
I thought that drawing them might give me a better idea of who they are but... the only thing I can tell from this sketch is that they are... a person?
Gonna need to do some heavy redesigning and further refine their profile.
