A comic to try and sort through some difficult feelings about being an artist and a reminder to not forget who you are.

i hate that every time i look for color studies and tips to improve my art and make it more dynamic and interesting all that comes up are rudimentary explanations of the color wheel that explain it to me like im in 1st grade and just now discovering my primary colors

So, Microsoft is terrible. Yes yes, the oldest claim in the world.

But specifically... I just hate how Windows 10 tries to conflate and confuse web searches with things on one's own computer. The start menu should never do anything related to web-searching, especially if it purports to try to give examples of things that are on my hard drive!

This will make old, computer-illiterate people more malware-vulnerable. You have to maintain a strong distinction between "things that are on this computer (and maybe even included in Windows)" (safe, one hopes, or you already got pwned by it, probably), and "things on the web" (scary, dangerous, not to be trusted at all).

Eroding that barrier in the UI is awful. It just FEELS like a violation every time I start typing into the start bar, and it tries to show me ANYTHING web-related. My computer is NOT just an internet-portal! It has tons of stuff on it, and when I'm interacting with the OS, I ONLY want to see things that are already on here!

If I wanted to see something online, I would go to my browser! All the online stuff should be segregated into the browser!

Specific programs can access the internet; that's fine. But my OS's functions and interface should JUST be about the things that are already on my computer.

Y’ever read something and have understanding that has eluded you interminably suddenly stop, curl up, and snuggle neatly into a fold in your brain because a new way way opened to it?

being a self-taught artist with no formal training is having done art seriously since you were a young teenager and only finding out that you’re supposed to do warm up sketches every time you’re about to work on serious art when you’re fuckin twenty-five

In honor of 413, here’s my MXTX Homestuck AU! I wanted to take the Homestuck godtier clothes and instead of sticking with the pajama look, combine it with the type of clothing the characters typically wear. Details under the readmore haha

Six friends meet online and play a game, only the game ends up destroying their world. Stuck in Skaia, they must play the game in order to create a new universe and win. In the end, they succeed, but it comes with a high cost. Their new universe splits at the seams, into three distinct realities, and the six friends are reincarnated into these worlds with no memories. (aka they get born into their canon lives in the MXTX novels haha)

The caveat is that they remember their former lives upon dying. I'm still working out details for what comes after that, and how they change different to canon. Up above I've drawn how they look during that first Skaia session when they were playing Sburb and trying to create their universe.

lol I am in such a stressed-out blind rage today from insurance bullshit that I wrote up a glossary of health insurance terms (things like deductibles, premiums, and copays) because all the free guides online are unnecessarily complicated and the only way you can squeeze a dime out of these bullshit companies is to understand their overly-complicated policies. give em hell

As much as I love the Stardew Valley spouses it always kinda bugs me that they stay stagnant after you marry them. Like even after having kids and passing a decade in game they look and act the exact same? Anyway what if

(Also don’t worry I will be doing the bachelors. I’m drawing dilf Elliott even if it kills me)

Ugh. This dang Grain character 🙄

It has been SO LONG since I watched evo, but watcher lore is exactly my brand of interest, so I will always incorporate it. Always. Sketched out some concepts for what I wanna do with watcher stuff, and at this point I’m thinking 3 forms. Player, partial watcher, and biblically accurate eldritch noodle bird.

Will I draw it? Who knows
