A bit late, I adore your animatic in the most recent EPIC livestream, especially the choice of a painted background mixed with animation, was this your doing or did Jorge request it?

(Sorry if this was already mentioned somewhere asffsdsdf)

My doing! He pretty much lets me do whatever I want with visuals usually hahah. I'd warn him in advance what it might look like + a storyboard, and he was chill with it

Author Update - Good News???

So, I can't go into all the details in their full stupid glory, but I have some news that is...a bit of a mixed bag (at least for me). I wish I could explain it all, but I can't given the nature of my job. I keep my private life veiled from my work life for good reason. If I balked about it like I wanted and my employer somehow found out, I could get into some trouble. They don't know what I get up to for the most part, and I like to keep it that way.

The summation that I can share with you is - I got bad news for my job - but I'm still technically employed. This isn't necessarily "detrimental" to me at this stage (I'm currently safe and I think I will keep my job), but it is a "final straw" sort of deal. This is coming from years and years of mistreatment. My employer is being horrible and shady/conniving/unfair, etc...(In my opinion, of course.) Honestly, that's not a new thing for them, but they continue to set records for the "how low can you go" competition. I've been there for over 11 years and I have their game memorized at this point. But - I'm stuck - for now.

So, I'm turning this into something good.

Soon, I'm going to be increasing my activity here and in writing. I desire to keep focusing on production of God-Cursed AND adding a new project to the mix as well. I also have a full novel that I'd like to publish one day, but it needs a good editing first.

Meanwhile, I'll likely be looking for avenues out of my current job. The dream would be to make a living on writing - but I'm realistic about that. It's not something that can happen easily or quickly so that's a more long-term goal, and it may never be possible for me, I just don't know. One of the biggest hurdles here is my healthcare or rather the cost thereof.

To be as transparent as possible, with how things are where I live, the ideal is finding a fully remote job that I can take with me anywhere, be it another state or even country. My spouse and I have talked at length about relocating *somewhere* when it is feasible, but we need to determine where to lay anchor. We are very much in the air about this and at the mercy of many things - jobs, finances, families, the logistics. A flexible job would be key in helping us determine where we will end up. Our current location just does not have good prospects for employment, which is why I have been at this same job for so long even though they haven't been good to me.

This is a bit of a gift and a curse for me, lol. I'm looking forward to being able to move forward on the production of new things at least. I have some details to work out around it all, but you will likely hear more from me in the coming weeks.

So that's my news. I'm doubting any of this will turn around and change for the better, but if there are any developments (good or bad), I'll let you know. I'm determined to use this as an opportunity to create and grow. ^_^

After a month (well, actually, like three weeks of that was... not touching this) I'm finally done with the Leyendecker piece!!

I've only been drawing for a few months so any advice/feedback is welcome ^^

Edit: forgot to mention these are the wedding outfits from my narilamb fic, The Risen Lamb and the Fallen God!

got a 100% excellent feedback rating on the course evaluation and 100% on the feedback regarding how i as an instructor helped them to think critically from my students this past quarter 🥲

Before things turned for the worse.

[bigskycastle]

why a B? what was the critique?

this sounds kind of cope i stg its not i would go into it more if it was like helpful or insightful TRUST. but genuinely the feedback was kinda.. incoherent and contradictory...?!? and i got penalised a lot for stuff that i was pretty clearly told was fine during crit whilst working on it. feels a bit vindictive to me and if it was graded by a particular lecturer which im 99% sure it was i have a feeling i know why

Showing off the designs for Guardian Neos and Lady Glasswing, the premise for this idea can be found here: The Dueling Fates of the Guardian Neos & Lady Glasswing

There're multiple outlined versions of Chloe because when modelling her I found out about Freestyle Rendering and really enjoyed it.

Cannot stand the new Mobile Discord UI, actually. Like. Why? Just why? I liked that it reflected Desktop, it was simple to understand and use and all the information I needed (locations of unread messages) were all in one spot instead of split up by buttons on a hot bar.

Also that DMs tab is fucking trash, dude, that triggers every part of my ADHD so bad, why does it look like a screen of emails what is WRONG with you people?

And why is the settings button so stupidly difficult to find? Like it should not be that small and take that many steps to get to. What the fuck?

I've already used a process to rollback to an older version of the app but like why can't there just be a toggle? Why can't we let apps be unique and have unique interfaces instead of trying to make them all work the fucking same? I use Discord because it ISN'T Amino or Instagram or Google Hangouts or Skype or Steam or anything like them! That's the point! That's the fucking point!

Stop fucking homogeonizing everything into Messenger App #57! This fucking sucks!

OKAY, HERE’S THE FINAL DATA!

I started querying in January with the lefthand letter. in May I finally found success (!!!!!!) with the righthand query letter.

over those 5 months of querying, I picked up 65 rejections. the vast, VAST majority were copy/paste form rejections, but a few included personalized criticism, which actually helped me a great deal. I rewrote the first two chapters from scratch based off the advice in one of those rejections, and I think that proved vital in eventually finding an agent.

(one of the personalized rejections was also unnecessarily mean, so now I have this grudge against a random man I’ll never meet)

was I ready to start querying in January? probably not! I didn’t understand all the speculative fiction subgenres, so ended up bothering people that I never had a chance with, and because my letter + manuscript weren’t polished enough, I basically guaranteed rejection for myself early on. BUT I don’t think I’d have learned enough to know I wasn’t ready if I hadn’t just gone ahead and started. 

and in the end, I’m thrilled with the agency/agent I’ve found myself with. it took a lot of time and research and reworking of everything, but you gotta have the persistence of an annoying fly that refuses to be smacked to death!

I'm sort of mad that they only care about three Inquisition based decisions especially as we won't be using the Keep anymore. Like what was the point of DAO and DA2 if it doesn't even matter in any way in DAV? Like even just one choice each for those games. Something. ANYTHING. Even if it's just background flavour. It's only been 20 years since DAO like plenty of characters are only in their forties now and probably still active. What they did had to mean ~something~. The only blessing is I don't have to agonise over certain choices I made that I was worried about. Downside what was the point lol I am still looking forward to it but can't pretend I'm not a bit disappointed

It's a loss for sure

I can see why they didn't want anyone disclosing details on it, because from what was shared during q&a it seemed a lot more detailed and interactive

And as usual the community council is stuck in the middle, blamed for not doing enough to stop something, again, which is delusional

I feel for them I really do
