Don’t worry ‘bout a thing

Boo!! I'm not dead lmao

Finally got a more mobile drawing tablet (Galaxy Tab Active with CSP), so I now have a much more functional setup for drawing more regularly yayyyyy

Cause the traditional desktop/bamboo tablet setup I was relying on before was fuckin brutal lmao, and feels almost arcaic compared to now lol

Anyway, hoping to post more art now, but it's been over a year since I last drew anything, so it's been a blast, but also a challenge to get back into the swing of things again

Oh! I'll also be posting on tiktok (under Peachii-Bear), at least while tiktok is still alive before it possibly gets banned :/

Im the person who asked for hatred themed blinkies and i love these!! (I did mean the emotion) also you make these so fast like?? I literally sent the ask yesterday and now theyre done you must really love making blinkies ahsjsjwjjsdlahdfsd

I ABSOLUTELY DO IS THE THING! I make these from scratch using SAI & CSP, I always have a blast coming up with concepts and getting requests makes me very happy!

I've made 300+ blinkies total so far and I don't plan on stopping anytime soon. It's the perfect thing to do while I'm listening to a video, and I'm pretty much always brainstorming ideas for new blinkies I can make. I'm fueled by autism and hyperfixation to the highest degree :-)

December 31st, 2023 - IIDX 31, DDR A3, Arcaea, PIU 2023 PHOENIX, ProSeka

NOW IT'S THE REAL GRAND FINALE!!! And what better way to celebrate than getting permission to pay Round 1 a lil visit?? (Granted at the cost of paying breakfast at my workplace for my whole family during one of their busiest days, i still feel so bad...)

since i had just eaten a chocolate croissant and 1 (one) pancake, i started off slow and warmed up with my favorite game to play on a full stomach (not really): IIDX EPOLIIIIIIIIIIIIIISS (dan dan dada daan dan dada daan dan dada daan dan dan dan)

stiiiill doing the usual of practicing with RANDOM, but getting more comfortable with using hard gauge! only problem? i forgot premium time (and lost two credits to it)

meh, i'll do better next year (i think)

now, this part was the biggest part and the greatest change of plans i've probably had. originally, since the cab was empty, i was gonna go play sdvx to continue warming up and since i didn't wanna throw up my breakfast still. but then i decided, "yea, i feel fine enough. to the ddr cabs! (also i have sumidagawa karenka stuck in my head please help)"

and what i found at the cabs as a result was... a new year's eve tourney i had no idea about!! hosted by the one and only hambones!!! and (almost) EVERYONE was there to game!!!! sign ups were still open, and a friend from there was Really pushing me to sign up, so i signed up and did a warm up set at first before moving on to the qualifiers!

set A of the qualifiers consisted of Dancer in the flare ESP-13 (DDR A, banger), Like A Star ESP-14 (DDR A3, way harder than i thought it'd be), and Electronic Dance System Music (DDR A, i set my scroll speed too low). Once I did it, it was... very dissatisfying. I could've had better MA, but I struggled finding the timing window and had poor EX score overall.

set B though? KILLED IT. it consisted of Going Hypersonic ESP-15 (DDR A20, very technical rhythms), Black Jackal ESP-15 (DDR A20, more of an MA challenge), and Firestorm CSP-16 (DDR A20, chart added in A20 PLUS, hope you like shocks!), and since I'm a huge fan of uppers charts, I had a blast putting on a show for everyone waiting to get the tourney on (since i was the last one to arrive and last one to finish my qualifiers). Got an AAA on Going Hypersonic and 2g on Black Jackal, and also a really neat upscore on Firestorm!!!

when all was said and done and the tourney scores were tallied, i ended up 5th place overall; barely falling short of the top 4 that would play a new set of two 16s and a 17 that were all really fun... but i was pretty satisfied with my score regardless!!! while i waited for the tourney to end and the results to be announced, i remembered arcaea was having their new year's 100 memories promotions, i finally claimed it for the first since since i downloaded the app 5 years ago!!! ...only to find out that the memories expired 2 days after claiming them (literally Why)

as soon as i got them, though, i Instantly knew what i wanted to buy. that's right. OVERDRIVE!!!! played it three times while everyone else was playing: first attempt was a 69% gauge fail, second attempt was an almost-AA 9.49M, and third attempt was a sick 9.63M jump!!! def worth the impulse purchase

anyways, back to the tournament: after everyone played the three songs, the scores were tallied once more and the victors were called up one by one to claim their prizes. after the top 4 were announced (ambones obvs being 1st), the Hambones Award for Rising Star of the Tournament was announced; pulling ahead by 1 singular vote, it was... ME!!!! 2DKAPS DDR RISING STAR!!!! i was so happy to receive it, and even happier (sorry) when i saw the prizes, which were INSANELY COOL!!! a MAX 300 badge, a Valkyrie Bloom sticker, and some sick shades!!! (and $6 too somehow LOL)

as much as you'd wanna think this post is over now with everything i had written before, NOPE!!! the tournament may have ended already, but i STILL had time to play some extra sets before leaving!! (gotta make up for missing that banger tourney set)

also holy shit tumblr is lagging because of the sheer length of this post LMFAO so we gotta be QUICK!! ROLL IN THE BANGERS!!!

Roppongi A 996k GFC!!!

ELECTRONIC SPORTS COMPLEX ESP-17 GFC!!! (AAA Never)

Death by Glamour ESP-14 AAA!!!

MENTANPINDORADORA AAA!!!

HOU DSP-16 FIRST TRY CLEAR ON FLARE V!!! I SAVED THE BIRD!!!!!!!!

decided that wasn't enough and wanted to close out the session with an extra set, which i Immensely regretted (i was in no shape and no fullness to play sadly)

after all this, i went home to take my Last Shower of 2023:tm: and take it easy for the rest of the year over at my sister's house... but i still had my phone to play on and some proseka to wrap up the year with!!!

so, with all of that writing and all of this buildup, i finally present to you: my last two scores (one append score and my very last AP) of the year! a really wonky and kinda lame year overall, but there was def a lot i wanted to talk about and def a lot more i'll write in the soon-to-come year recap document (along with a 2024 goals post tomorrow!!!), but i'll end it off with these scores and come with more in the next year! thanks for everything in 2023, everyone!!!

helloo i'm here to ramble again~

idk if anyone finds me talking about my art interesting at all lol but if not its under a cut and it's helpful to me and also!! kind of fun lol. so I might do this anytime I have a lot of thoughts on a drawing !

okay. oh my god. where do I even start with this. I CAN'T BELIEVE I FINISHED IT. AGH. I really can't explain how proud I am just to have a finished comic in front of me. I've been drawing and storytelling all my life, and I've been trying to make comics since I was like 8 years old. And I finally finished one. cries.

Lets seee.. I think my favorite parts of this are the hands- I spent a lot of time on them lol- and the page layouts! My favorite comics are the ones that get really creative with panels and page layouts, and I tried my best to do a little of that here. I swear I re thumbnailed each of these pages at least 3 times from initial concept to completed page. The last two got WAY more than that lol.

I think the weakest point is, unfortunately, the entire 3rd page. Conceptually it works but I don't think the execution is all that great. Maybe if I wanted sketchy lines like that I should have gone with fewer strokes of a heavier weight line? Also just the angle and the anatomy of the whole thing was...............rough. I definitely hit a point where I just got sick of looking at it and called it good.

And I think thats okay! Honestly I went into this with the mentality that it was going to be full of mistakes and inconsistencies and that was going to be fine, and thats the only reason it got finished at all. Where's the lighting coming from? Are the character models consistent? Backgrounds? Who cares! I do hope all of that comes in later projects (especially backgrounds, I looove intricate backgrounds) but again, I'm just happy to see a finished work here. :))))

Oh uh and the content. Idk I don't have any self critiques on that part lol I had a blast with this. I love drawing these two, I love the toxic mess they have going on, I love comparing Meri and Nerevar and their places in Almalexia's life.

The next idea I have for them is much more dialogue and action heavy >:) (pls do not expect any movement on this for a few months lmao)

Oh and I guess technical critique. DAMN. I LEARNED A LOT DOING THIS. So fun fact starting this comic is the first time I have done a start to finish digital piece in like. wow. maybe over 10 years. I just don't do digital art really, there's always been some kind of disconnect between my hand and the screen that makes it look off. But I guess thats gone now??????? I learned a lot about CSP while working on this lol, and also got much more acquainted with my tablet. I decided to use being able to scale/transform parts of the drawing to really focus on understanding my weaknesses- particularly on drawing more than one character to scale in frame and arranging features somewhat symmetrically on a face. (If you look at my art you can see that the right eye is routinely higher than the left. TT-TT) And I think it helped? It definitely gave me some ideas on how to work on the multiple characters problem, not so much on the facial features problem lol.

Okay! Thats super long! Bye bye!

June 14th, 2024 - Rotaeno, DDR WORLD, Arcaea

finally caved in and got rotaeno dlc!!! yay!!! (though all i really did was AP K.Moe (III) as part of the event challenge thingy) (i genuinely don't know how to label the difficulties here . hard maybe?)

but that's not the focus at all, because i actually got this score from inside a bus!! a bus to where? why, to ROUND 1 BOWLING & AMUSEMENT to play DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION WOOOOORLDDDDDD !!!! ASFKJSLDJFLSDJFKLDSJFLK

AND SO I DID!!! Shoopa was there along with a bunch of other people really excited to play the game, so - ready to experiment and have fun with the gauges and stuff, i started GAMING!! LOOK AT ALL THESE COOL SCORES I LOVE THIS UPDATE SO MUCH (also obligatory LOVE IS ORANGE PFC)

side note: constant is AMAZING!!! ABSOLUTE GAME CHANGER IT MAKES ROPPONGI D FEEL EVEN BETTER TO PLAY THAN IT DID BEFORE I'M SO EXCITEDDDD

funny score break: I'm an Albatross one-foot challenge on shuffle!!! (thankfully all the jumps were bracketable so no big problem there)

after that, i started Blasting through a bunch of 12s, 13s, and 14s all with the intention of Flare EX clearing them, and so i did!!! woohoo!!! even got down my favorite song of the update: Hitomania!!! PFC soon...

easier chart time is over, got pushed and pressured by shoopa to clear EVEN HARDER CHARTS!!! AND SO I STILL DID!!!! GRAGHHHH I LOVE YOU LOVE EAST (FLARE EX CLEAR!!!) *AND* I LOVE YOU SHOCK ARROW CHANGES!!!)

so anyways i started GAMING with yuzu (mostly) who just arrived, and we chilled with a lot of really fun shock charts given all the shock arrow changes!!! GOD they feel so much easier to play now,,,

but then... suddenly... we played Scarlet Police as our last song of the set for fun when out of nowhere... i got a FULL COMBO??? A GREAT FULL COMBO??? A GFC??? ON THE CHALLENGE 18??? WHAH????? SCARLET POLICE (CSP-18) GREAT FULL COMBO AS 18 FC #1!!! AAAAAAAAAAA

last few scores before the end of the grind, but overall? EXTREMELY satisfying set and version i love it SO MUCH!!! i do agree some changes are needed to make everything pop out a little more, but the QOL changes are so insanely good that i believe they can turn this into one of the best DDR versions out there :]

also somewhat funny: played arcaea while waiting in the queue for some of these cabs to free up, when i suddenly got a Full Recall on Vicious Heroism (FTR-10)!!! yayayay!!! (ignore the horrible pragres score pls)
