Another EEnE x KND thing I never finished, and probably never will.

Eddy would not mix well with the KND but that's what makes it funny.

I've been meaning to finish this for weeks but I went and got on a writing and sewing kick instead. Drawing bug bit again yesterday ;)

Featuring my favorite Andalite, Stedeth Esgarrouth Bonnetil. I love him.

Read his story wanna fly away (I don't know where my soul is) by @ghostalservice and @petrichorca cause it's amazing and one of my absolute favs. You don't need to be familiar with animorphs to enjoy, so go get yourself some alien adventure and spice!

My great aunt passed away last week. She was 104 so this wasn’t a tragedy, but did very much feel like an end cap to the Summer of Grief. And given she was 104, it still just feels Very Weird that she’s no longer here.

Work was busy in part because just projects were messy, but also the colleague I work most closely with was out so I was doing part of her role. And then my CEO, bless her, wanted to help, but it just felt more micromanagey than I’m used to. And I was also helping my family with funeral stuff so…worked some weird hours, generally stressed.

Then tl;dr work fucked up and on Friday I found out I had to cancel all my upcoming PTO requests for the rest of the year. Honestly more upset about not having off for the finale than anything else.

Today was going to a show with my parents that I didn’t really want to already, but even more so after this week, but mom’s been struggling with retirement and it’s good to get her out of the house.

The ONLY thing getting me through was knowing when I got home I could chill out and write some clock boys.

……an hour before I left for the show my computer, which had already been on its last legs (shit battery life, only one port works) but I thought was holding up okay, COMPLETELY died.

I feel melodramatic for whining about all this, but it’s already been a very rough few months and all these little things feel so much bigger now and I feel like my resilience is at like a 3 out of 10.

So anyway, if anyone has an in with the universe and can get it to chill out and give me a fucking break, I’d appreciate it. 🥺❤️‍🩹

I got a new drawing tablet that's a HUGE upgrade from my old one, it's one of the ones you can draw on the screen. Previously, I just has the smallest, cheapest Wacom. It's so weird to get used to being able to just... draw on the screen.

Here's the doodles I made practicing with it

[naritaren]

Well. Got something that cheered me up a little

[randygrim]

I WANNA DRAW SO BAD!!!!!!!!

Weekly Update: 5/1/23 - 5/6/23

Entertainment/Art Progress:

Man, I really do believe my work speed doubled, at least, when it came to my new tablet. I dunno if it's the bigger touch screen or the ability to use my computer's mouse, but something seems to be making my work on it more progressive and easier.

Speaking of, I'm nearing the outlining (and possible end) of the "Chapter 1" image for Getting Your Goat. I mean, it'd feel too disorganized to not have that matter of "divider" between comic sections/chapters, ja? Plus, it makes it feel more like a real comic, when it's finally all together. However, I'm feeling the urge to sketch traditionally, rather than outline on the tablet and digitally. I dunno what it is, but I feel easily peeved off with sketching on the tablet... Yet, coloring and outlining? I feel right and happy as rain.

I'm also doing another "writing practice" to help further ease any tedium of drawing and fully original writing, so keep your eyes peeled for more "fanfiction," per se. Hey, just a little something to tide me over, while I excitedly await Peach Creek to finally make its official debut. I've kinda fallen out of using NovelAi for assistance, during "dry spells" and all that with writing... Eh, why pay for the privilege when you can come up with an idea of what to do next, for free, if you're willing to be patient? Also, be prepared for a majority of Ed Edd n' Eddy themed ones, in that regard; but allow me to warn you right now, the canon characters they'd focus mostly on are Sarah and Jimmy, and follow a 2nd person narration of you being an alternate version of Claire that joins them in either simple antics or learning self-improvement. Sure, it involves everyone else, too; but if not something you'd read for fun, I'd say read it to critique and tell me how to do better, so my original works can benefit from that improved sense of quality.

Personal Life:

Well, I've gotten back into Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and it's certainly a nice experience to relive. I recall abandoning it for a couple years, but I've decided on resuming that matter of escapism. I mean, it doesn't take up too much time, you can play at your own leisure... It's a nice little matter of relaxation, when you just want a small break from things and also don't want to get sucked into playing for longer than intended, having to "complete missions" and all that.

I've also gotten my mother into Invader Zim, and it's nice when your parent can share fondness for a beloved cartoon series. She really seemed to enjoy the Gir shirt I got her for Mother's Day: it uses Gir to convey different emotions, with them listed under each picture.

I'm hoping that dedicating each weekday to a certain muscle group, instead of working them all on both days of the weekend, will not only help me better build them up and tone them, but also allow for more time on weekends to further speed up creative work progress.

Misc.:

Since my tablet functions as a replacement monitor (I can only use my traditional monitor or tablet to display things), I've also taken to using it as a new "game device" with my Steam list. I feel like I do better in the likes of Pizza Tower and all that, with the closer screen and tilted angle. So, yeah, that's a pleasant, yet admittedly "unorthodox," use for a tablet screen!
