And that’s a wrap for Comic Con 2024! Ha, it was a lot of fun, but I really enjoyed dressing up as Mondo today! I even had a couple people recognize him! And a few others just liked the hair, one of whom asked how long it took me to get my hair like that, which tells me that at least it looks natural enough for people to mistake it as my actual hair, ha.

Overall, Comic Con was cool! On Thursday, I attended a live podcast recording for Braving the Elements, which is an Avatar the Last Airbender podcast hosted by Janet Varney and Dante Bosco (the voices of Korra and Zuko, respectively), and I actually got a trivia question right and I should (hopefully…) get an email from them soon to get a prize for answering the question right. If not… oh well. At least I’ll be featured briefly on the podcast answering trivia correctly, even though I usually suck at trivia, ha.

The rest of the days were a bit more meh, but I still had fun. I won a Pokeball ornament from a Hallmark panel, since I knew how many Squirtles were in the Squirtle Squad, aha. Which leaves my trivia score 2 for 2 at the moment.😅 I also got a free shirt and scarf for the upcoming Yakuza live action show, which was neat. I’ve never played Yakuza, but my brother has, so I was able to give him the shirt at least.

Still, while Comic Con was fun, I’m definitely glad it’s over so I can go home and clean up from my frantic cosplay creating the last several weeks, oof.

Also! On the first day I dressed at Taka, but since I was by myself I only have the one photo my dad was able to quickly take of me before he had to drive off and a quick selfie I took in the car.

Week 3 of @duckversejune2024 is here! (Actually it’s almost over but shhhh)

I visited Turkey Run a couple weeks ago, which has several hiking trails so I figured why not try another drawing like last week’s with one of the 10 bajillion pictures I took there?

As always thanks to @secret-tester and @tokuvivor for being excellent cohosts!

the other day i walked around the golden lake w my love and the sun was setting hot and orange and we watched a brown duck preening through the weeds, ducking her head under the dark water. the cool lake swallowed up my tired feet to the ankles and we counted the dog walkers with their curly panting doodles and their handsome german shepherds and their whip smart little terriers and we admired the careful construction of a sand castle whose moat held determinedly against the lapping of the waves. we could feel in our chests the persistent thunderous thumping of celebratory music at the finish line of the lakeside 5k, welcoming each gasping runner across its bounds. and i felt like crying. i felt like curling into myself and crying. we walked through the swamp of the bird sanctuary afterwards and listened to the woods sing and croak and groan and then we went and got ube and yuzu gelato and devoured it suntired and sweating on the couch in our living room. and i was so overcome w a deep and true unshakeable happiness and a sort of confused grief that i wanted to sob and sob and sob.

I’m excited to see where life takes me, for the people I’ll meet, and the places I’ll see. I’m excited for the laughter and even the tears. I hope I see more sunrises and that I go to the beach more often than last year. I want to make beautiful memories, and take tons of pictures, and sit around bon fires with the people I love, go on hikes, have cute little picnics, & just soak in so much life! I want to be fully present and mindful of each moment and I want this to be my year.

absolutely insane to me that two years ago I was getting ready to go on my first international trip with my company and my anxiety was so bad my stomach was screwed up for months beforehand, I was more miserable than I’d ever been and I could barely even function and now I’m leaving to go on my third international trip and for the first time I can actually be kinda excited about it???

Wanted to try my hand (heh) at traditional art again, so I did some doodles. Mostly just style studies or whatever. I tried to do some lizard Caz, too. Ended up blowing up the page with stuff. Like Suze with her flare gun.

It was both harder and easier than digital. Still can’t do firearms in both styles. Oof. I also did the Shadows, but I might just dedicate a whole page to them. Especially the Watcher and Shade, I like drawing them.

I don’t usually post pictures of myself here, but cause for celebration ! I’m officially recipient of a BFA! I majored in visual arts concentration in painting and printmaking
