So right now I'm the janitor of labs and the babysitter of those who hold a PhD...

All the while making stories about places I'd rather be in and art that I hope will accurately reflect those stories

And games, too. Don't think I forgot about those!

Did I ever want to work these jobs? No.

I would've been a cardiological specialist in veterinary medicine if there was enough money for me to get my bachelors and to afford the test. But noooOOOoo I wasn't rich enough to afford the papers to prove I knew my way around a circulatory system

I went to college for veterinary science. But because America is so fucked as a country I worked anywhere else besides a vet clinic because the license test is worth a month in rent to take 1 shot at

Left me to work at these jobs that people would assume I'm the biggest piece of shit to exist

Honestly, while I worked at the detention center there are cases that are just sad. When I worked with adult incarcerated individuals, there's at least some room for criticism for their actions. But these kids, there's no easy way to put it besides sad.

Second facility, I worked a juvenile detention center in the business office. I was basically in charge of the warehouse and the inventory there, including issuing clothing requests and setting up new residents (that's what we called the kids) their stuff for their stay

First facility, I was in charge of the tool room in the maintenance department of the correctional facility I worked at. Where 10:00 AM is nap time and I overheard the same handful of conservative talking points over and over and over and over and over and over again, I wrote to save my sanity

Target treated me badly enough during the pandemic that I chose to work at a prison to get away

Let that sink in

Before someone claims "have a soul but worked in corrections? *side eyes*", I was civilian staff; not a CO

I'll never stoop that low in life to become an officer in any means. I just wanted out of retail at the time

Alt text is also a good opportunity to provide additional context

And it's cool to see it used as a way to narrate images. Especially for comic pages

Items or no items? 👀

What's for dinner? Girl dinner, silly!

Interesting to see Pyramid Head contemplative here. That's what I'm assuming anyways based on the text included. Like he's reflecting on the time when James was there

Looking forward to the design!

Tell them to send you an advance and you tell them half, the rest will be given when they send the rest of the money

What will you tell them? Anything besides what's really going on. If they appear later, you can just say creative changes were made to the story during development

Who would know?

If memory serves me right, Nanalan was recorded in an old munitions factory

Because of course they were

Here's a little demonstration I made using an icosphere subdivided to have many faces. I'm more familiar with collapse, because that makes high-poly models easier to rig

But always play around and see what works best for you!

You're thinking about decimate!

It has an unsubdivide tab

Admittedly, I'm not going to partake in those posts. I like my characters to be drawn by with genuine interest

That way it's not free art by my request. I prefer if my characters are drawn by inspiration and intrigue

Annnnd I don't have references yet.

At least, there's no Uwe Boll
