I Normally Don't Like Photos Where I'm Wearing My Glasses Because I Haven't Been Able To Afford Anti-glare

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.

So, I’m working on a new page—lots of hands, I’ve noticed. Also, spending a bunch of time drawing rocks was kinda fun. But yeah, this is a wip.

Dollar store goth makeup is simultaneously the best and worst. Fight me.

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 finally got to making the base vector for my webcomic’s logo...other little fixes aside. Also, this means that the name of this project is out there. :P

(That said, I have learned that it’s actually significantly harder to make wordmarks in Adobe Illustrator that look like wood carvings than it is to do more curvy handlettering in it. Yikes.)

I decided to go back to Pulse after being a borderline recluse for a year and a half (and forcing myself to go to Savoy two weeks ago after talking through some things.)

I remembered a conversation I had with @plaguenurse after she left a crochet Jotaro Kujo in my car. She left it there in hopes that it would go where it needs to go.

Long story short, there is now a crochet Jotaro Kujo at Pulse that I placed there because I feel like it belongs there. I couldn't articulate to you why I feel the need for it to be there, but I still feel like it belongs there more than it does in my car.

Even if I’m not particularly happy with how this turned out, I can’t say that I started with a very happy premise, either...considering that I’ve mostly been in the mood to do venty typography. Also, trying to go out of my typographical comfort zone by 1) explicitly working with RGB colors, 2) trying to fiddle with glowing shit after years of not bothering, and 3) trying to use a screwball 8-bit font...probably didn’t help.

Regardless, I tried. I figure I should show stuff I don’t do too well with, too.

I’m also kind of mad at myself for forgetting to save the stupid .psd for this particular iteration, so if I want to make it look like this again, I’ll have to start from scratch.

I ended up finding a REALLY old high school doodle of a character I made  when I was about 15-16ish. I haven’t drawn much of him in a while.

It was my 26th birthday last week, and I decided to try to do a speedpaint of the same thing about a month ago in order to get a general idea of the progress I’ve made in the past decade. Overall, it’s definitely and improvement, to say the least, assuming I’m only given an hour or so to pop something out.

I’m quite pleased to see an obvious visual improvement at this point.

(Also, I’m totally not enamored with this character, I swear...even if he is a main protagonist in a story I wanted to write. I’ll try my best get to him later.)

Here's an after-work selfie that absolutely no one asked for! Also, yes, I do have a day job. Sometimes it's why I come home and then don't do any art or design. Not always, but sometimes.
