The company I work for is considering changing their markers to a new brand, and sent my department a package to test out before committing.
I took that personally.
So, I got a project for today's breaks, to stress test the crap out of this one marker. Let's see how it goes! First coffee break: sketch.

Main character lineup for a western AU of me and @gxdcomplex’s fantasy ocs! Celestine is a rancher, Atticus is his stablehand (who may or may not have a past he doesn’t want to talk about or why he’s run away from it) and Meadowlark is under their care.
[Marrowsnap and Sienna are she/her, Carrion is they/she] And here are the Coyote Sisters’ leaders, the og coyote sisters! They lead a pack of werecoyotes (and all other people willing to travel with them who need a place to belong) and while they try to avoid conflict, they have some mischievous packmates who wind up out of line and go after a rancher’s herd or get into scuffles in town which is a headache for the Sisters to deal with. Because of this they often go head to head with Celestine and Atticus.
Little unfinished comic I made about Sienna and Carrion finding a wanted poster about them. (Gristle was one of their packmates that tried to attack one of Celestine’s cows)
#I love… western au#my art#art#sketch#furry#idk what to call this AU like idk how to tag this#western au#cowboy oc#cow boy#unicorn oc#werewolf#werewolf oc#werecoyote#oc: marrowsnap#Oc: sienna#Oc: carrion#oc: celestine#oc: meadowlark#Oc: atticus#cowboy art#Im still not entirely sure the logistics of Meadowlark being technically Celestine’s cow boy (half cow half boy yeehaw)#Because this was originally just a one off little sexy idea like Woag what if my prince oc was a cowboy. What then#but now I am Too Invested and I’m giving it PLOT and BACKSTORY#and now outside of the kink setting it’s like well. It’s kind of weird. Is he like a cow? Or like a person? Do I commit to him being like a#cow? Or do I just make him like a person (who happens to be half cow) who does the farm cow thing for money as his job??#Yeah the last one seems best. Also easiest#bc I was looking at it. And on paper it’s weird that my poc character would be quote unquote “owned” by a very.. white oc#Taken quite literally bc Celestine has white fur all over ANYWAYS not the point the point is that it was getting kinda dangerously close to#the whole “POC character is treated more like an animal even though he’s basically the same amount of animal as everyone else and this#is normalized and also he is “owned” quote unquote by a very white character” trope and I Did Not Like That

Erin, to her crush: You're a dick
Mason, the crush: I won't argue! But to clarify -
#my characters#its so sad that all of erins character development and kindness is on paper and nothing digital to show her growth#she picks on mason for many reasons and she kinda narrows her eyes at him but its more to squint than to glare#because she watches him from a distance when hes off laughing with others#though they are united on peter being worse than mason at least they can agree no matter what peter is worse#but also masons right arm is metal and she thinks its fascinating bc theres so many high tech prosthetics#why is he using the equivalent of a trash can ? is it some weird flex to not needing advanced stuff?#and its just he was from a poor family and was born with one full arm and then a stump#and he lived a lot of his youth with just one arm so once he got a second arm (installed basically) he went cheap#since he only wanted the other arm to get better jobs cause not many people would hire him with one arm#and he never really cared much about her comments because her lil verbal pokes of#so rogers whod you piss off? the mafia? is actually nicer than stuff he heard as a kid without the fake arm#so he tells her the only reason he has a metal limb is because god knew hed be two strong if born with two arms#and shes like uh huh sure thing rogers#and yeeeeah eventually something happens where mason is injured and erin is panicking#and hes acting like its okay to die because hes a dick remember TRYING to make light of it and she gets so sad#and after hes recovering and better he feels guilty making her so sad and hes talking to her#and she says that she doesnt have a lot of friends and she didnt want to lose one of the few people she liked#and hes just oh.......................... ididntthinkthatwouldbeme#so he starts to be super friendly to her and enforcing the crush that she doesnt wanna own up to#and then she does eventually confess and mason is baffled as to since when and shes like day one? and he just#erin you have got to be kidding me you were glaring at me for months#and shes just i have bad eye sight and im shy what did you expect#he isnt super smart or super stupid hes just exceedingly average

Goodbye Little Sailor Man
2023, acrylic paint / oil pastel on canvas
Paint study
60cmx80cm (~23x31inch)
Photo reference taken from this backstage photo post by @mcelroyfamilystaff
I'm sorry for being such a weirdo but I think these photos are genuinely beautiful and invite to be interpreted in paint. Big learning and really challenging work. Kinda interesting color study.
I made grids and helping guides digitally and printed the guides on A4 paper with my office printer. Then used chalk to transfer the grids and lines onto the canvas and kept painting from there. There's some slight proportional issue nonetheless so its not fully identical to the photo ref.
#i dont quite know what to do with it now but i guess it goes up on the wall#going through the 3000 circles of deciding to quit your job i guess does that to you#mcelroys#im so sorry#griffin mcelroy#i swear its just this photo on its own where i go yeah i wanna paint this#idk the colors and lights are so interesting so i there was a challenge 😅#painting#acrylics#acryl#acrylic#traditional art#study#reference#partially traced to put down guides and grids via paper transferral

this is fully a shot in the dark but I gotta do it anyway. any babythey in the crowd have a good-feelin G-pen SAI2 brush they're in the position to send me specifics on. my kingdom my degree for a good-feelin G-pen SAI2 brush anyone
#not art#technically not relevant to job art but job art would probs feel better to do with something like this also#but this is actually mostly for a comic thing Im chipping away at lol. honestly would love to try and ink this comic traditionally#but the sketch is a bit of a logistical nightmare for that. sketching comics traditionally does Not feel good rn#and my printer is busted so printing the digital sketch out is not viable#and if I have to line up the physical piece of paper with whats on screen to ink I would quite literally rather chew my own hand off#so. digital it is#and the thing is I Can do it with my usual brush. it would be fine I think. but having a more g-pen like brush would be Good#and afterall why must I abstain from hope. it doesnt run out#so here we are: me askin u guys abt this#I know the crowd is with clip studio paint now but you will never be able to separate me from SAI2 thats my house#SAI2 for lifers Im holding ur hands. do u have a g-pen type brush on u by chance btw

had a dream that house and wilson had a huge fight over a misunderstanding, can't remember what about, and they were friends with benefits so going cold turkey after having a taste of something More with wilson had house pretty messed up. he like vanished for a while too i think?? then out of nowhere wilson gets a text from him to check the details of this specific cot in the pediatric wing and he's just like ??? so he does. and finds out the reason why house had been gone was because he was harboring a secret pregnancy and was too ashamed to admit he was wrong so he suffered through carrying a child alone to punish himself. i woke up to them reconciling with wilson holding their daughter (who already had some crazy curls like house and big sad wet brown eyes like wilson) while house was showing some very apologetic and embarrassed body language
#house md#dream tag#hilson#first saw now house this is wonderful#yknow how they'll fight then house does a Big Gesture to like prove to wilson he Means Something to him#it was kind of like that but um. a lot more#i think the misunderstanding was about suspicion of wilson cheating?? with a maid or sitter??#like a housesitter or somthing idk??? but the sitter was like some minor who literally just did the job and vibed#house never saw her but knew wilson dealt with her so his mind jumped to the worst case scenario#like wilson being happier after seeing her when really wilson is just happy with his life now and house is just#jumping to conclusions because of wilson's reputation and everyone lies etc etc#(not knowing at the time his hormones were going crazy because YOU ARE PREGNANT DUDE)#he also hyphenated his own name on paper to house-wilson but left james's as is#i don't know if this was like house being trans or omegaverse or what all i know is that 49 year old had a baby

what would yall call Tanaka’s job and can we compare it to the traveling monk whose shrine he destroyed?
#Like idk what he really.. does#As far as I can tell he just walks around outside with a hamster cage and pulls shit out of his ass#I like to imagine he actually got his masters in anthropology#Do you think ghostbusting is an apprenticeship kind of job#Actually how do you even get a job in ghosts#They can’t just post adverts in the paper like ‘can you see ghosts? Great! Us too! Apply here: xxxxxx !”#Do they troll hospitals looking for ghost-scarred youth??#Roy Mustang type shit showing up in Tanaka’s hospital room like: come see me when you’re ready#the summer hikaru died#hikaru ga shinda natsu#hgsn#hgsn spoilers#my hgsn shit

okay hear me out. i know i love science and i’m very good at chemistry and physics. but what if i became a fucking accountant
#IM SERIOUS…….#like i’ve been doing research about what career path to tailor my degree towards when i go back to school#and it seems like chemistry careers outside of phd research and academia just. barely exist in the US anymore#they’ve been largely outsourced or are extremely geographically limited. or it’s pure bench work that barely pays better than retail#and i’m like. knowing what i know now about my health i just cannot go into academia. i cant. it would take up 100% of my life#and as much as i think i could be smart enough i just like don’t. want to give up on hobbies or having a personal life.#i’m a slow reader/writer. i cant be writing all those papers and making all of those curriculums. it would be all i ever did#and i don’t want to constantly move across the country in pursuit of unicorn chem/bio jobs that would actually interest me#i need to be near my family or a few very close friends on case of a medical emergency#and as for accounting like. look at my hobbies. i love optimizing dragon capitalism on FR. i love making charts and solving puzzles#i don’t mind menial tasks. i need a job with consistent hours that i can leave at the office. bc otherwise i can get too wound up#accountants are in demand everywhere and the pay is actually proportional to the amount of schooling required#depending on the company you work for the work/life balance can be pretty reasonable apparently#i’m good at math enjoy solving problems and have job experience recruiting clients and solving their unique problems#it’s not as spiritually fulfilling as astrobiology but like does it have to be? if i could have a stable and healthy life with people i love#idfk man

Workplace doodle bandit strikes once more!
I have been commandeered to collecting duties at work once again. If I'm gonna be stuck dragging a pallet jack around the warehouse, I might as well accept it as mine.
Spent a coffee break doodling a figurehead for my chosen pallet jack. I dub thee "Pony".

ford: hey stab- i mean stan
stan: y. yeah
ford: are you up for a game of violent rock paper scissors
stan: oh. one of those days, huh?
ford: these hands crave destruction
stan: alright, i’m down. but i’m totally gonna crush you at this >:]
ford, slamming his hands down on the table: yOU’RE FUCKING ON >:D
#no one but them knows what violent rock paper scissors is and at this point it’s so far removed#that you can’t even really call it rock paper scissors anymore#the point is that it’s a game they made for the express purpose of relieving violent urges without anyone being hurt at all#what are the rules of the game? damn good question. even they aren’t entirely sure#but it does its job

finally got a job & then my car's engine immediately started smoking on the way home from meeting my supervisors & filling out tax paperwork. 🫠
#ctxt#well i got the job earlier this week but bc this dumb organization does things backwards#it wasn't until today that i confirmed that yes actually things are proceeding as normal & i should start in ~2 weeks#had to get my dad's help to limp my car to the fucking mechanic tho while he drove behind me to make sure nothing caught on fire#fingers crossed that it's just a coolant leak from a busted hose or something cuz i cannot afford any major repairs rn#i'm excited thoooo this'll be my first job in uuuuhhhhh 9 years? that isn't retail sales customer service or food service#it'll be more manual labor than i'm used to so sending up a prayer that my body will be able to handle it#but holy shit i get to more or less choose how many days i work and i just get to spend all day#organizing pieces of paper & then going around town putting them in various locations#it sounds like the dream#charlie vs mail

#he's armcandy xoxo#no but he was a professional fencer pre-accident. quit after obvs. didn't want to get a boring ass job#so he knocked up his wife so he could be a stay home dad hehe hhoho#(i tease)#but yea thats what i have so far#fenn rau is the owner of the studio (martial arts place? i forgot the word) he teaches at#hera is the third gender (nascar) and a winner xoxo#sabine and ezra are their idiot kids#and zeb... is there... somehow#jacen baby. he littol baby.#uhhh yea#is it a good au? idk#im just having fun thinking about it every other day or so#today im thinking of ezra and kanan and sabine working on techniques#to develop for kanan and other blind people who take kanan's wednesday classes#which does result in ezra and sabine going for each others throats#while kanan regrets signing the adoption papers xoxo#sldkjf ILL SOTOP NOW SORRY#kanan jarrus#hera syndulla#kanera#star wars: rebels

being autistic is like. so nothing is ever going to be easy? it's always going to be this hard? no amount of medical appointments will ever make me better? my entire life i'm going to be told that it can't be that bad if i was able to get a job and get along with people and there's really not much they can do for me. that they can address the symptoms (depression, anxiety, etc) but i need to do a blood test first to see if it's not just anaemia, and have i considered that i'm just tired out from work? and i seem fine honestly it's probably not even autism, everyone gets a little bit overwhelmed sometimes. here, have some magnesium. if you eat more vegetables you'll be fine. there's nothing else we can do. my computer says you're not autistic because you were able to make friends and you show signs of empathy. no i haven't updated my autism research since 1996. you're making a big deal out of nothing you seem fine. we can't help you. you seem fine. we can't help you. we can't help you. we can't help you.
#guess who saw another doctor today#well she did diagnose me with depression which is something at least#but when i talked about autism and the possibility of it being an autistic burnout she was like#do you have friends? a job? ok then it's probably not autism#it could just be regular burnout why does it have to be about autism?#Because I Know Myself And It Is.#and the worst part is every time they ask me why i think i have autism i suddenly forgot all of the symptoms i'm just like umm i feel weird#next time i'm writing it all down beforehand so when they ask me i can just hand them the piece of paper#with all the (up to date) autism research and all the symptoms i have (which is all of them)#anyway i feel so defeated it's so hard to think that life is just never going to get easier#rain.stuff

the fear street movies said that if you're going to end the cycle of poverty and misery, then you've got to care about the community and not individual self interest. and they said that you've got to learn your own history, not only because it repeats, but because the prevailing social myths are often there to safeguard the interests of the powerful and privileged, while obscuring the truth.
#maybe i will write a paper on these movies#it gets me how - like solomon - nick didn't think he was doing something too horrible#after the mistakes he made in 1978 he does a better job of containing it in 1994#he thinks he's improved! he thinks he deserves his wealth#and he probably thinks the fact that what he's doing uplifts sunnyvale too (even while hurting shadyside) means he's doing a public good#on the other side you have someone like kate who realizes it was wrong to try to sacrifice sam for her own safety#and in realizing that deena and josh (and sam) are able to actually save shadyside and not just themselves#alice got that and our heroes in 1994 part two got that#fear street#fear street 1994#fear street 1978#fear street 1666#these movies better be regarded as classics one day
