I don’t shop for clothes online. In clothes shops they typically have changing rooms, and there would be nothing more disappointing than finding a dress or other article of clothing that I really like, only to try it on after it gets delivered and find out it’s either too big or too small…

I often wonder if people who live in Australia feel a similar way considering how Christmas time is typically depicted.

Nope. Who doesn’t love the idea of a winter wonderland Christmas?

Lurking in the shadows

Living in the woods, Shia LaBeouf

Good ol’ Shia LaBeouf

I smile at her 😃

I don’t think I’ll ever understand why people have a problem with a female protagonist. I’m a girl and my fave games ever all involve playing as male protagonists. One of the core essences of playing videogames is escapism, to be someone that you’re not, I don’t see what’s immersion breaking about it. I’ve seen the trailer and I’m hyped!

The contrast is either too little or too much and I won’t know unless I look at the drawing again the next morning

When I’d contracted the flu… I’d forgotten to get my flu shot that year, hard lesson learned!!

The darker nights, the Christmas music, giving others presents and receiving presents from people, and having an excellent excuse to eat huge amounts of chocolate!

Someone took my art without my permission and posted a version of it that was AI generated, telling me they used the art I’d posted for the AI’s output. The silhouette looked more or less the same but everything else looked like an uncanny amalgamation of textures taken from other people’s art and the AI also gave it weird snaggle teeth (turbinid dragons don’t have teeth, so it looked really off).

Oh good gosh I just about lost my appetite too reading this 😂 glad you were okay though!

Pasta that was four years past its date. Some pieces were a bit brittle and I think it went a little softer faster than what was usual but overall I didn’t notice any difference and I enjoyed it! 😃 Definitely don’t do this with already cooked pasta though! The pasta I had was raw and in a sealed bag.

I would say this year, from experience with getting my art stolen and reading about others’ experiences. I love drawing digitally, but these are precarious times for artists to be posting their art online. While I do link to progress pictures, timelapses, sketches and files in my descriptions, I have a clean, airbrushy style that AI tends to mimic most often, so as of late I have been experimenting with mixing my cartoonier style with my current one.

A little WIP of the style experiment:

If I had a coin for every pixel in this image, I wouldn’t have enough coins to get an extra life

Oh wow I didn’t know that was possible. Thanks for the link! 😃

Windows, because my pride and joy (Paint Tool Sai) is only compatible with Windows and I love Paint Tool Sai far too much to change operating systems.

A migratory goose, so I could fly around to other countries! I love swimming too, so being an aquatic bird is a plus!

On a train. It was at night and it was a long train ride, and it’s the only occasion where I remember falling asleep while sitting up!
