thought i'd share some photos of this little book i started picking around with for fun in my 'offline' time!

admittedly i'm not very good at this sorta thing, but i'm trying to get back into it (it is impossible not to be inspired by my gf's journalling work, oh my god). i found this unused planner with nice creamy pages, and i thought it might make a nice 'gallery' for starstruck dee giftart!

i'm so touched by all the artwork folks have drawn of her for events or gifts or trades, and i thought this would be a nice way to honour them while also giving me something fun to flick through!! it's also a really soothing way to spend a good chunk of time looking at and thinking about each piece while i design a layout around them! i write the occasional little notes, or i copy in tags or other little relevant bits so that i can remember them for longer than my weak memory would actually allow!

it's roughly chronological (though the 'cover' page is from the hnkss event in december), so here's the first few pages!

🎨 art credits 🎨 cover spread: @chaotixcowboy (santa for the hnkss 2023 event) page 1: @kamalemons (first ever gift art! + tags for context) page 2: @veveisveryuncool & @jojo-schmo (halloween interaction pieces!) pages 3-4: @moon-mage-ex (an entire spread just for you because you've actually done so many!!! wow!)

DON'T LET YOUR BODY FALL

ROWAN the guy of ALL time. would be a mad scientist if he had the energy and funding. if only

[image description: a reference image for an original character named dr. rowan hawkes. rowan is a short, thin, medium-skinned older man with messy purply-grey hair that is combed back. he has a scruffy goatee and stubble, a large hooked nose, and chipped buckteeth, and is wearing yellow-tinted round glasses. he is also wearing a yellow, 60's-style button-up with an orange and white abstract flame-like pattern, an orange bowtie, a red vest, a pair of orange high-waisted flaired slacks, orange gloves, and red boots. blurbs next to him state his name, that he is 48 years old, that his pronouns are he or any, and that he is queer. another blurb states the following: a coroner and thanatologist with a strange sense of humor. lives with his lover, scarlette, who feeds off of his blood. his pursuit of science often gets in the way of his relationships. end id]

I name all of my snake plants after Baltimore Orioles players because...I don't know why I do that.....anyway Adley (she/her pronouns according to my parents) and Adam Jones are making the trip with me but Chris Davis is TOO BIG FOR THE CAR and I'm so sad now. That was my emotional support snake plant through my FMLA leave. He has seen the worst of me (mental illness, forgot to water him for a month) and survived. Now he's like four feet tall and I have to leave him behind because he is so big that he takes up more than a third of my luggage space in the car 🥲 I took such good care of him that now he has to live independent of me. Goodbye Chris Davis I will think of you fondly as I encourage Adley to grow big and strong.

Journal Page commissions for @nelson-and-murdock

Sorry this took so long. It really shouldn't have, but I was having issues with my drawing app shutting me out and loosing progress. I think it has a lot to do with my phone's storage space so I gotta go delete some shit now I guess.

Anyways, she wanted a journal entry of her oc children of Ford's years, Nicholas and Luna Pines. Such cuties.

Coded message: I LOVE YOU

as easy as a snake shedding its skin. forget yourself in favor of a better man

[whosname]

I'm reuploading this 'cause... okay, almost one week later I noticed I wrote 2024 instead of 2023. No, I can't fucking see time, I usually don't know what day/month is and, sometimes I don't even know which year is.

Anyway.

So... drew A LOT of Gintokis this year, I'm not sorry. I've some things to say about drawing every day and being self-indulgent in your art, I feel like I improved a lot and had an absolute blast drawing these idiots, but more about that (maybe) later (if work and brain let me). I had a hard time trying to chose each month.
