WOO! Finished another design!

Meet Kyrah, a small town engineer and cutie pie who wants to make a difference in a crazy world while still having some fun along the way.

I actually REALLY struggled with her despite her being only human rather than the more etherial/celestial characters that I've made for this same universe this kiddo was still quite the challenge. Her hair was pure HELL putting together a half shaved head with a mohawk in the middle that is ALSO an afro was just- AAAUUUUUGHHHH!!!

I also had a HECK of a time with her outfit. While piecing her together I figured out I wanted to give her the colors of purple, yellow and green to go with the 80's theme I was asked to keep in mind when making her. The more I drew the more I was able to figure out what would look good on her eventually coming up with her final sweater suspender combo.

Like with most character designs you see, I came up with a couple details for her on accident turning oil splotches that were going to be on her face into vitiligo and dying her hair pink on the ends to go with her green accents of the main outfit and her glasses. The green on her jacket is also meant to be the same material as reflector belts as another character I'm working on wants her to be safe and sound.

I also snuck some other foreshadowing in her character design for another form she takes later in the story...

Lemme know if there's anything I could improve on or just if you like these designs cause I'm having a BLAST working on these and can feel my skills skyrocketing with my requests and critiques taking me WAY out of my comfort zone in ways I wasn't expecting but am really enjoying.

(thank you to my bf for being so creative and pushing me towards improvement ILY hon~)

#SupernovaSunday

Supernovae are stellar explosions that are so powerful they briefly outshine entire galaxies, radiating as much energy as the Sun or any ordinary star is expected to emit over its entire life span

The Universe is so vast that it is estimated that a star explodes every second. In a galaxy the size of our Milky Way, a star will go supernova every 50 years on average.

A star can go supernova in one of two ways: 

Type I supernova: star accumulates matter from a nearby neighbor until a runaway nuclear reaction ignites. 

Type II supernova: star runs out of nuclear fuel and collapses under its own gravity.

Supernovae play a key role in distributing elements throughout the universe. When the star explodes, it shoots elements and debris into space. Many of the elements we find here on Earth, including life, are made in the core of stars. These elements travel on to form new stars, planets and everything else in the universe.

The Best Thing Happened at Work

So I was running the self checkouts at the store I work at and a family was having trouble with their coupons. I went over to help and the older of the two kids, he's about four or five, was in my way. I said something like "Watch out buddy" and he moved over. His grandmother was at the machine and she said "Watch out honey the lady needs to get in here to help us." I log into the machine and start helping them and I hear this from behind me. "That's not a lady" I lost it. I was doubled over on the machine trying to regain my composure. Apparently the kid wasn't used to girls wearing glasses so he assumed it was a boy thing. My short hair probably doesn't help. I honestly have no issue when little kids say stuff like that, they don't know any better and honestly it's adorable. If you're going to have short hair you need to have a pretty high level of tolerance for this kind of stuff. 

And for all y'all who don't know me this is what I look like. I don't blame the kid in all honesty 

working at a pawn shop is great bc i just pretend i’m in a tv show like pawn masters every day 🤗🤗
