I Forgot To Upload This Here, Although I Did It A While Ago With A Friend Who I Did A Lot Of Design Challenges

...I just got a glitchy version of the taxes design a few minutes after I posted it. I have no idea how that happened, but here.

Today I learned that Corel Painter has a new edition out now, Adobe Flash is now Adobe Animate, and that Toon Boom Studio is no longer available for commercial purchase.

I’ve been caught off guard with these developments. I’m disappointed and surprised.

Things I don't like about DuoLingo; generally not understanding the contextual nature of things. Also, not taking my spelling of theatre. Plebs.

I've noticed that I'm quite abysmal at keeping up drawing whenever I have a new partner in my life.

I love art and design, but I'm absolutely infatuated with my bae, and it's conflicting. because I don't know how to balance both loves at the same time, as well as my day job.

I don't know what to do with myself at the time, and advice would be lovely.

I decided to combine Inktober’s Day 3 theme of “Roasted” and Inktober’s Day 5 theme of “Chicken” in order to make one weird comic idea that’s been on my mind for the past couple of days.

It’s definitely some dark humor. However, it’s something that came to mind because I was thinking about how one of my great-great grandmothers knew how to snap chicken necks with her bare hands, and how distanced I am from that as a modern human who hasn’t really seen a chicken get killed at all. It’s kind of a bizarre thing to think about, really.

During the time that I’ve been overwhelmed with coursework and work to pay the bills, I forgot that I made this birb. It has been rescued from the annals of my hard drives after I decided to organize my files.

I’m almost done with some actual stuff I’ve decided to do over the holidays. I promise I won’t spam anyone with more terribly made typographic birbs. (I don’t even have any more terribly made typographic birbs.)

I am constantly annoyed with DuoLingo gaffes like this, so I shall start making a chronicle of the various screwups that DuoLingo makes in the DuoLingo Japanese course, as well as silly sentences, because why not?

Oh boo hoo! I didn't translate the list in the exact same order! I'm kinda mad about DuoLingo being picky about things! I know that it's probably some sort of weird function involving an <ol> tag somewhere, but it's like...why do I have to get penalized about "pen and pencil" as opposed to "pencil and pen"?

So, I started my Twitch stream on a newer page and the like—although I still need to do a few tweaks to a previous comic page.

Unrelated; I was really sad to find out that Odile van der Stap/jumei passed away recently; I really loved her work when I was on DeviantArt years and years ago, and it was really shocking learn this when I wanted to mention an artist I really liked in context of a specific thing in the Twitch stream.

That said, I’ve found that I don’t handle learning that people have passed away, period.

This is the culmination of a six week class on 3D modeling that’s required for me to officially grab one of my two degrees.

I’m also pretty happy that I thought of a game idea where you’d need light to survive—to the point where you’d just keel over if you weren’t near any light at all. So, I asked if I was allowed to make a HUB for it too, and it was OK’d...so, I did.
