They're crewmates in a slice of life sci-fi comic I've been picking away at in the background. Idk if I'll ever actually make it but this was the first illustration I've finished in around 2 years which is pretty exciting!

this is such a mood

yoooo these are gorgeous, the personalization of each is a beautiful touch. Love seeing tattoos shared like between loved ones like this.

anyway idk where this all came from, just having a lot of feelings lately I guess

But I hope that maybe if I find a place where I'm not constantly struggling to get by, feeling emotionally drained by a precarious financial position, that maybe I'll actually feel able to make art more often? Idk if that makes sense because it's not like I'd work less than I do at my current job.

This is something I've been grappling with for a while and going back to school for mechanical engineering design feels like the point i would finally fully accept it. It feels big and sad and scary.

I still want to make comics, but I've more or less accepted that comics will never pay my rent. Not because it's not possible, but because I don't think I personally could keep up with life as a freelance comic artist and be happy.

I regularly take a half hour nap on my work lunch break and it helps with my day so much. The short nap is highly underrated.

I love her!

this is such a big mood. if I didn't wear glasses I'd probably get a bridge piercing but my nose is too fucked up to get anything remotely close to my nostrils
