Inktober 2019 archive
Posting all my Inktober 2019 pics cause it was the only year where I successfully did a drawing for every day of the month. And also used actual ink for these which I know is not required but I wanted to. Most of these were never posted outside the "Rebel Taxi" Amino so I wanna document their existence and share them with the public. My gimmick with these was to do them in 5-15 minutes as a challenge to come up with ideas on the spot. And also so I wouldn't spend too much time on these since my college projects took priority. I also had my purple Halloween neon lights on when I took these pictures so that is why they're all purple (minus day 31's drawing). Anyway, here they are in order of the days I made them.
Day 1: a generic east coast rapper on the mic rocking a show. Mostly inspired by Chuck D of Public Enemy and maybe subconsciously Todd in the Shadows. Oh and totally forgot that I was watching Vin Diesel's 1997 feature directorial debut, Strays, before I drew this which had a very gritty 90s NYC setting. At the time I was very impressed by his short film directorial debut, Multi-Facial, so I wanted to see if his feature was just as good (it wasn't).

Day 2: a defeated young man submitting to an alien/holy light shining down upon him. You could also interpret it as seeking of a higher power. Inspired by the CD artwork of OutKast's ATLiens album. This was later turned into a self-portrait oil painting for class which turned out really great.

Day 3: vaguely retro comic book Batman crashing through a window upon a crime scene. This was done right before I went to see Joker in theaters. The perspective and anatomy is meh but it was a quick drawing so I can live with it. Apparently I took 20 minutes with it according to my notes from Discord in 2019 which wow.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/8cce54644cfe57adb298ad370d13ed2c/2d18ef0fe0d21792-27/s540x810/3c33a105781c257e9d31e2869ca18f5cf9ec8277.jpg)
Day 4: Close-up of Cesare from The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. This was one of two drawings where I intentionally broke my 5-15 minute rule as I did this in about an hour. I used a reference of the iconic scene of him waking up but I still tried to be quick so the face looks less like Conrad Veidt and more like David Bowie imo but I'm still quite proud of it.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/c870e5960d944833985b08411d6d2b4c/2d18ef0fe0d21792-c2/s540x810/83d225dbe39f8732af9237be5e0f11a489ad154d.jpg)
Day 5: a possessed woman. Took a wee bit longer to do but this was a fun exercise to draw longer hair like this (something I still don't have a lot of experience with) and to play a bit with perspective and anatomy without a reference iirc. She is also supposed to vaguely be from an older era far from civilization - hence the lack of clothing (she is tastefully censored though). Apparently I wasn't happy with how stiff she turned out back then but I think in hindsight it works quite well.

Day 6: a bald child from a mental ward stares at a man laying face down on a haystack. The girl was loosely based off Eleven from Stranger Things. The man in the haystack also reminds me of that one Junji Ito manga but I don't remember if that thought that came to me while making this or that's just hindsight. Also I didn't start with a finished concept in mind for this one so, very randomly put together.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/f89e33f200bc21c48493ac7d2b920819/2d18ef0fe0d21792-87/s540x810/2543660ddafe365c37bb5891df745fb38b303e76.jpg)
Day 7: Nostalgia Critic 2Pac. As it says, it's Doug Walker if he modeled his Nostalgia Critic character after 2Pac's aesthetic. I personally really like this one. Have also been told he resembles a Beavis and Butt-head character which I see lol but that's ok. Apparently I was watching JAR Media's video on if Nostalgia Critic was cringy and for some fucking reason the idea of 2Pac came to mind lol.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/eb599b76257e6aafce345446a9244d92/2d18ef0fe0d21792-27/s540x810/9b9aa659dd27850e764bf2b2de115d24d20db202.jpg)
Day 8: a baby with a dripping spear celebrating the head of a medium sized therapod dinosaur they successfully hunted. This one was inspired by Genndy Tartakovsky's Primal which I was a very big fan of at the time. Censored cause I like my Tumblr account and don't wanna risk losing it.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/0f57fa23d530849ef191799768947e58/2d18ef0fe0d21792-95/s540x810/138e896ce9b75efa45c3ebd8eafc1bb30dbd608f.jpg)
Day 9: Count Orlok from Nosferatu opening a door. I think it turned out nicely but don't really have much else to say about it other than the fact that I didn't use a reference.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/509602e4f0114739ddab700becdd4ed5/2d18ef0fe0d21792-ff/s540x810/911e2218c9fa7569ca893ff4d6911c17008b1a7f.jpg)
Day 10: sullen twink laying bare on the ground. This was inspired by that iconic image of Maria from Silent Hill 2 laying down on the ground by the Heaven's Night neon sign. I think I just particularly like this kind of imagery since a mood piece I shot later that month incorporated a shot that is exactly like this (minus the lack of clothing). Also, the uncensored drawing actually shows nothing explicit since I intentionally had that area covered in shadows. But I worry Tumblr will think otherwise and smite down upon me so it's better to be safe than sorry. Also the perspective on his right leg is off so better to not see it in full anyway.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/e11c91ed1ba0de377be7ae45d180dffb/2d18ef0fe0d21792-88/s540x810/fea0a1fa111b15d522be3562d8fadcafd35ebe66.jpg)
Day 11: gentleman combing his hair in a mirror that reveals a skeleton doing the same thing. The pic crops off the bottom part of the drawing which shows his legs and the tail flaps of his suit. But I always thought that part looked extra janky so I never include it. It was a rushed drawing anyway.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/726e4b416be41fdcb88eeaa29610c70a/2d18ef0fe0d21792-a0/s540x810/55fe4cb7089ae93d3ab0c497d40da59dd8c6b613.jpg)
Day 12: Tim Burton inspired child sitting in the corner of a room, looking very sad. Supposed to represent being overwhelmed with life and emotions. I recall I also had Dib from Invader Zim in mind when drawing this. I don't tend to draw in this art style much so I'm pretty surprised even now how good it turned out. At the time I was doing a presentation for my Directing class on Tim Burton - so he was definitely on my mind for this.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/0fab94e33c9fbfc56b5d5dd7a1ed9e19/2d18ef0fe0d21792-da/s540x810/14fb04789e8343aafd03d512478b036d0d7b207c.jpg)
Day 13: imprisoned droid waking up in the middle of the night. Apparently I was thinking of a bunch of movies when I did this plus I think Scud: The Disposable Assassin and my own avatar. Also I just like robots with this kind of thin pill shaped build.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/2ca008ec7db1b5619c03cd8460a1546c/2d18ef0fe0d21792-8b/s540x810/a36448b491a74af4905c65b40875160b1df06238.jpg)
Day 14: my idea of man that has fully evolved into only being able to eat, sleep, and stare at a screen. I didn't sleep the night before so I thought to draw a human that has devolved into a lazy slob who only eats and sleeps and as a result is incredibly out of shape save its legs to move around as it scours the land for any food before deciding to fall asleep for days. Thank you Discord notes from myself in 2019 for helping me remember this exact story lol.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/1c121be241de72a103a78026ed9ab697/2d18ef0fe0d21792-51/s540x810/cafc34c4b857ebe29a10fd8f7cb6bdadbfd71caf.jpg)
Day 15: Undead Pan Pizza of RebelTaxi singing his pathetic little heart out. The design is based off of Jack Skellington (namely the proportions and spooky qualities like the stitches across Pan's face) during one of his more sad song numbers in The Nightmare Before Christmas. It's worth noting this era was sorta the last big hoorah for my obsession and fanboyism of Pan. I had a mild burst of being hooked one last time around Fall 2019 after losing interest in his podcast around the beginning of that year (a podcast I previously would follow religiously). I still liked him after this era and would definitely have periods of renewed interest but not to the same extent as before sadly.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/e6b8e65eaf357a4aa8cd829de9ef79d3/2d18ef0fe0d21792-35/s540x810/9b0d49a412191fc4c1714d548a955e43d8c1b419.jpg)
Day 16: an imprisoned boy looking at the light coming through his barred window. This one used more pencil than ink to break away from mostly keeping it ink. It's very janky but the idea speaks to me. Apparently was also trying to think of a portrait for my oil painting class so this was one of the ideas that came to mind (didn't end up using it for anything though).
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/c32c2d07cdbe52de00db2f3ad3a667de/2d18ef0fe0d21792-3c/s540x810/b8c0d5e36527987b3adefd85e2f59654e7c8c60a.jpg)
Day 17: a spooky little sickly old guy. I apparently was inspired by a character from Courage the Cowardly Dog when I did this. No clue which episode now though unless you guys can remember what he looks like.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/86d0e51b9ded71afaa10e94c4acf9595/2d18ef0fe0d21792-55/s540x810/acae510f39941cc351ecedf554f75b352e6b9040.jpg)
Day 18: guy getting his face vacuumed off. I like that one episode of Ed, Edd n Eddy where Eddy's face get sucked by a vacuum. I got nothing else to say.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/289db7eb6b3e634d4bd6b05cb72d5418/2d18ef0fe0d21792-f6/s540x810/b9b25365f89740a6be8a2c5c1e24b64eeb0a5840.jpg)
Day 19: self-portrait of me directing. It's a cutesy little drawing of me! And also the outfit I wore when I directed my mood piece that day.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/47cd1cef77466b99f83ee1414165a8f7/2d18ef0fe0d21792-57/s540x810/76bce2f88c4192f08609e174156478c3a0e0d987.jpg)
Day 20: a large and vicious snake lizard hybrid. It's pretty self-explanatory. I think ultimately it's more just a snake with forearms and a spike tail. I guess I just was thinking at the time "what would be the ultimate snake?" Like a snake that can beat any snake. Also this was done on day 21 since I didn't have time on day 20 for it.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/0588ba053fec81acc3009d73ecde5b70/2d18ef0fe0d21792-60/s540x810/d41f3a33cdf8d15a5a32e2bf22394504b7b55137.jpg)
Day 21: large older guy hiding a knife behind his back. His looked is based on a friend of mine I went to college with and how he looked on set a few days ago when the light glistened over him. Although instead of a knife he held a script. He also vaguely reminds me of Al from Toy Story 2.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/2fd983603a15e5781e9ab221027c04c3/2d18ef0fe0d21792-7c/s540x810/2cdf4ed01ae8e32d93477385d0cc6a3c8175e91e.jpg)
Day 22: sleep paralysis demon taunts twink. I like twinks, ok. Also I think just noticed something about that demon that I forgot I did but oh well. I think it'll be fine.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/49a4e4424da0b4bcb60ebdd69a780804/2d18ef0fe0d21792-d6/s540x810/5ebd564b903615db6900c0b9ee867ba20e78a8cc.jpg)
Day 23: guy with a very, very itchy head. I really like the pose and facial expression so it's actually one of my favorites here despite it being relatively mundane. Also, the itchy head may have been cause my head was itchy while drawing this but I don't remember. But I do remember part of the influence here was how sometimes great feelings of stress and anger would trigger an itchy head for me.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/0d52c1cfa532e2cfbbdf9015c9a53b2e/2d18ef0fe0d21792-17/s540x810/4116d5353a68b8c64a064b0b6590cdcbbe0f1b19.jpg)
Day 24: a corpse brought back to life in a very rough and unfinished form. Obviously a bit of a Frankenstein's monster meets I guess Sally and Dr. Finkelstein from The Nightmare Before Christmas influence here. I may have had Pearl from Steven Universe in mind when I did this too since me and another friend definitely saw the resemblance.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/0d2bee197fab68c4dc66a101048b2309/2d18ef0fe0d21792-c7/s540x810/73796a1d7afe82cc8d302f2c556c2ea97cbdec5c.jpg)
Day 25: a twink who hit their face a little too hard on the bathroom sink. Twink. The full picture isn't really that gruesome imo (the face isn't visible) but I was trying to censor the liquids a bit for obvious reasons I already disclosed earlier. Also, he was loosely based on me but don't think too hard about that. I just had a bad day directing on set was all.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/4a934b2f3b3c68b3c3c20232bf47627d/2d18ef0fe0d21792-b6/s540x810/7f0bd72b00e5bfa248aa6a1612214745db5d54c4.jpg)
Day 26: Cute, unamused Hot Topic employee being bitten on the left leg by his pet lizard. Yet again another twink but this one's outfit is based mostly on my wardrobe at the time (minus the Jack Skellington shirt but I did/do have some pajama pants of him). And I guess I find reptiles cool so, only just noticing a bit of a reoccurring subject here (along with twinks).
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/ce1a93421fe4f7705708dcc8f6eefd39/2d18ef0fe0d21792-b1/s540x810/b8cde84da4c9bb114b807f23780ba3d87e979a84.jpg)
Day 27: a melting zombie-like corpse crawling away from a puddle of acid. A tad more gruesome, sure, but I think it's a pretty cool drawing. And also it's like, a zombie, so it's not that inappropriate for standards here I hope. Apparently took a while to come up with an idea for this one.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/adc77fe5dad4cf0f9573d6cd04ac5d57/2d18ef0fe0d21792-f9/s540x810/3ffd10e1f9714251452e6db6352d94bdba7925c0.jpg)
Day 28: that one guy from Jacob's Ladder with a bag over his head and no legs walking with his arms. When I drew this, I had just seen Jacob's Ladder the night before for the first time and it became an instant favorite of mine. So, I drew a character from it. Him walking with his arms is based off of Mugshot's mode of travel from Sly Cooper.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/6e761b3a5371a9b0f03801928f7f92c5/2d18ef0fe0d21792-3a/s540x810/4c183029e5bb3c3a10ff17fcbd09867c5f087306.jpg)
Day 29: Jimi Hendrix inspired voodoo guy with a crystal ball. Pretty self-explanatory. Had fun with the texture and lighting although I was never quite satisfied with how I did the shading on his hair. The straight lines make his fro look like a porcupine lol. Regardless of that, it's a pretty cool drawing. Also worth noting is that during this time I fell back in love with 60s music. The Doors and Beatles in particular were major points of obsession for me. Especially their psychedelic period and ofc Jimi Hendrix was part of that era so that deep fixation for psychedelic and hippie music made its way into this.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/b7b38b36030356061e170f31a7a939e2/2d18ef0fe0d21792-02/s540x810/abc3e2eb4c6814776ad3d5edbf32dbfa13200529.jpg)
Day 30: lizard amphibian fish mishmash girl with pony tails happily waving at us. This was definitely my least favorite of these and if not for my next and final drawing, would've been a lackluster way to end this. It's not awful but eh, just never really personally resonated with me. Also, she is wearing a seaweed braw so don't panic moral guardians of the world. For some reason Mrs. Bighead from Rocko's Modern Life came to mind when I drew this. Along with a certain friend of mind, @fishboigazer-blog, (which if you or a mutual is reading this lol hey).
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/81c5db07dddbb400047dfd240948fb2e/2d18ef0fe0d21792-68/s540x810/19af4ad1dd43c4eaede4c43b1081ae7e0e3373c7.jpg)
And that's it for now since I can't fit more than 30 pics. Which is fine by me cause Day 31 deserves its own post since that one I did spend a few hours on as opposed to the rest of these. That one I also did actually post to Tumblr back in the day so I may just reblog it come Halloween.
If you actually read this far, thank you! I spent hours trying to put this together in a way that is satisfactory to me and hopefully gives plenty of insight into my process. This has been a very long time coming and hope to actually post more original stuff on here instead of just endlessly reblogging things.

June 13th-June 19th, 2020 Creator Babble Archive
The archive for the Creator Babble chat that occurred from June 13th, 2020 to June 19th, 2020. The chat focused on the following question:
What is your physical and digital workspace like when you’re working on your story?
🌈ERROR404 🌈
LOL it really depends on what stage I'm in of the process - My storyboarding space is at home, as comfortable as I can be, a beer and some food at the ready and pure silence. The cats have to be freshly fed, otherwise I'll be harassed and lose my headspace entirely LOL. I usually work on my story boards digitally, just at a very small scale, with my script/outline on my computer and working on my ipad! The double screen helps a LOT, although i would just print out the script if I had access to a printer, haha. When I'm working on the actual page itself, it's a very different story. I usually just try and work on it in tiny little batches during the day when I'm stuck at home, and usually work around the animals as best i can, lmao. Truthfully, I really prefer to be in a coffee shop when I'm working on finishing pages, it makes me so much more productive than i am in this house with so many things to take care of right in front of me, but, obviously, that's a bit difficult to do these days. ;; I usually reserve food and drink until after I pass a milestone in inking/sketching to help motivate me to keep going for as much as I can before taking a break, and I need some kind of music or video playing in the background to keep myself from being absolutely bored out of my mind. My shading process, since it's in black and white, is very easy and i can finish it in one setting, easy, no matter what I'm working with. I also work digitally for my pages, of course, although I don't need more than my ipad and clip studio for it!
DaeofthePast
freshly fed cats
🌈ERROR404 🌈
They are BEASTS when hungry, the little bastards (love them)
I may only work in peace when they're post-food napping lmao
DaeofthePast
we only have one, but same
LadyLazuli (Phantomarine)
I work almost entirely in the corner of my IKEA couch at home I used to work at a proper desk with a Cintiq, but when I switched to Procreate on an iPad, I migrated to the couch and surrounded myself with a nest of clothes and blankets and books and... here I am, bein' cozy. With terrible posture But when I was between jobs last year, I did rent a little coworking space down the street so I could get out of my pajamas and go get comic stuff done there. It was a godsend. I like drawing at my favorite coffee shop every so often too, but I tend to hide my work while I draw, and there, everyone can look over my shoulder The coworking space had a tall artist desk that was rarely used, so I often grabbed that one. Not cheap, but to stave off cabin fever, heck yes, worth it.
🌈ERROR404 🌈
Ahhh I've been really thinking about getting a studio space one of these days I really shouldn't rn, with my finances as they are, but I could REALLY make use of one recently
LadyLazuli (Phantomarine)
I loved the space I used last year. They recently had to close for... current-event reasons... and are going to reopen with all sorts of plexiglass barriers between the desks I feel so bad for them. Good studio spaces are wonderful, I would support them again if I ever was out of a job!
🌈ERROR404 🌈
it's good they've found ways to make it safer, though!
carcarchu
My old workspace was in the basement of my home in canada and it was always perpetually freezing even in the summer and i was frequently visited by spiders so my current workspace is a huge improvement in that regard. I do miss my old ergonomic desk chair though. I'm definitely not the kind of person who can draw in bed or on the couch. I need to be in workmode and having a designated space just for that is necessary for me to get in the right headspace for that.
DaeofthePast
my workspace rn is just my desk with my laptop and my drawing tablet. my laptop is stacked on top of a pile of books so i can see the screen (otherwise my tablet blocks my line of sight). it's kinda simple
chalcara [Nyx+Nyssa]
Depends. I have a Cintiq Mobile Studio, so I can draw pretty much every where and sometimes in the oddest position, but most of the time I am on my desk with the cintiq hooked up to a second monitor so I don't have to look down so much.(edited)
Holmeaa - working on WAYFINDERS
For Wayfinders: Thumbnails are somewhere cozy and the only physical work. Me and Q sit and plan them out together. The rest of wayfinders are made on Photoshop, and flat colors in clip paint studio. In the world I would love a nice studio place in an office with others. During corentine I have been working from home, and I am not that good at it, being quite the extrovert. Before corentine I was in a artist residency where I worked on Wayfinders which had a workstation and all the programs we could need. It is so nice and me and Q are going to return there when it opens up again!
Miranda
I have an iPad so usually on the couch, cozied up with coffee and pillows and blankets. But sometimes at the table. But usually on the couch like the gremlin I am
FeatherNotes(Krispy)
I have a large drafting table, a mini drafting table, and a lapdesk in my papasan when we ink/draw! Toning and letters are all done on the desktop in its own space
Miranda
I need to get a good lap desk. But that sounds like a grand setup!
Eightfish (Puppeteer)
My first time hearing about a lapdesk
Omg I need one
FeatherNotes(Krispy)
They are the best things ever Mine has just the pencil holder !(some come with cup holders and its a waste of space imo)
Joichi [Hybrid Dolls]
Wow I like your setup of the drafting tables
FeatherNotes(Krispy)
I wanna show pics of them....if im allowed in this chat?
Joichi [Hybrid Dolls]
I hope so, I'm not sure which channel we can post studio photos at? I did see some did before?
FeatherNotes(Krispy)
Ill post in shop talk since creator babble gets archived
Tuyetnhi (Only In Your Dreams!)
my current space is uh.... a bit better than my last one. I used to work on an old writers desk for a decade and I did most of my comic work sitting there cramped up with my desktop taking most of the space. Now I have an L shaped desk where I have my desktop on the shorter end. The longer end it's my pen, pencils, and watercolor stuff. my display tablet occupy the space at times so switching from digital and traditional without worrying about setup hassle is a lot better than what I dealt with before lol.
I'm glad the days I had to curl up and draw with no privacy are long gone now

I’ve got a little drafting table where I draw all my comic pages. I’m messy with my pens so they’re kind of strewn about until I start to lose them. Then I put them back. I’m not particularly neat. I spend most of the comic process off the computer, so most of my digital work is just on an iPad where I can sit anywhere. I try to keep good lighting around my drafting table and there’s always loose eraser shavings all over.

I got myself a lil corner desk by the dining table. Not as well-lit as I'd like, but it's decently ergonomic and I started putting posters on my wall Plus I can leave work mindset easily by turning off my computer and forgetting about the dark corner in the dining room XD(edited)
sssfrs (JOE IS DEAD)
My desk is really sloppy and covered in all kinds of junk. I have a harmonica, a ball of yarn, a bunch of ink bottles, etc on my desk. I have my sketchbook under my tablet and usually a notebook somewhere for writing. My tablet sits to the right of my laptop (on top of sketchbook) while I'm not using it and when I'm using it it goes over my computer keyboard. I sometimes have a glass of water or some food sitting to the lefthand side

The only thing I wanna share about my workspace is this

My workspace is a black table with a white, yellow, blue and green tablecloth with 3 black chairs. It's next to the kitchen. On it, is my laptop and the left side is my clipboard, 3 blue folders full of writing. Then above it, is 3 sketchbooks and another blue folder from a class that I took in community college.

I have one long desk at almost three meters. On the left side is all my coffee and tea supplies, in the middle is my work space and on the right is my dining table xD I get everything done from there, despite having a mobilestudio so I COULD sit anywhere and work, lol. It's a blessing during holiday seasons to be able to bring it everywhere, but at some I like my designated working space. Although I am moving in a few weeks, so who knows what my new workspace will be
Moral_Gutpunch
My workspace is anywhere I can draw or write. It's more of a "Will I be interrupted over something petty or stupid" issue than space. Not that I don't want more space.
Mitzi (Trophallaxis)
My workspace is a big, broken corner desk I managed to lug out of an old apartment when it was gonna be trashed. Before then, I'd just draw in bed. I don't remember, but I'm pretty sure the folding chair I sit at is a similar affair. It's got a Dollar General throw pillow on it so I can at least say I'm trying to save my back. The top of the desk is a mess of mostly old bottles and cans, pencils, incense ash, and my old tarot deck. I love this setup dearly. This is the first time I've ever had my own desk space, much less a space I can decorate or leave as messy as I want. Got my own art up on the walls with sticky tack and all! Also the cat's scratching post is directly behind me, because we've learned the cat won't use it unless it's as in the way as possible. What can ya do, lol.
Cronaj (Whispers of the Past)
Oh cats...

I got spoiled with an adjustable desk. It is six feet long, and has a whiteboard top for noodling with dry erase markers
my main computer is set up on an adjustable stand so it floats over the desk, and then I have my cintiq, which we tried to mount on a similar stand but then it was just too heavy
I keep my dice collection nearby because fidgeting helps think things through sometimes
and rolling to make odd decisions never hurts
lately during the quarantine I've been sharing the office with my spouse so we've had to establish rules over when it's okay to bug each other(edited)
oh yeah and we also have a whiteboard installed in the office, and it rules!(edited)
Shizamura 🌟 O Sarilho
Mine is pretty simple: I have a laptop that's long stopped being portable and is now mostly just sitting at my desk at all times and a 19 inch Ugee as my display. I usually keep a lot of stuff on top of my desk, but it's mostly just a mess because I have been using it for work too for a while now
Cronaj (Whispers of the Past)
I suppose I'll talk about my setup too :) My main setup is where I do digital art. I share an office with my SO, so we both have workspaces on opposite walls from each other. I work on a corner desk that holds my beefy computer, two monitors, and a Huion Kamvas GT-191. That's where I draw my comic and pretty much everything else done digitally. Ngl, it's a mess right now. I have comic notes and location floor plans in sketchbooks and DnD character sheets spread out all over the surface, and random pens and sticky notes. In the corner of the room, we have a nice large-format printer where I produce prints for conventions. I actually sketch my pages on an iPad pro in Procreate, so during the sketch phase, sometimes I'll just bundle up on my couch and do it, or before quarantine, sometimes I'd sketch on the go. My other workspace (which hasn't gotten much love as of late tbh) is a drafting table in the corner of our living room. I keep a tabletop easel on it and my Copic markers, as well as whatever I'm working on at the moment. (RN it's some ink washes.) The drawers hold all my ink, pencils, erasers, etc. Next to the drafting table is where I keep all my large charcoal, graphite, and oil pastel drawings (mostly school projects), and my large paintings. Other than that, I have a nifty little cart where I keep painting supplies :) I will say, this setup is by far an enormous improvement from my previous setups.

Hi Nikki! Just wondering, what are your favourite tinf pages you've drawn so far?
Hi anon! WOW I love this question, thank you!! I never thought about it before… usually I very rarely like a TINF page because there’s at least 1 panel I don’t like that I’ve drawn 😂
Here’s what I came up with, though, in date/page order, underneath a read more:
ch 01 pg 01 - SO CLICHE I KNOW, THE 1ST PG 😂😂😂!! I actually do love this, though, I love his “screeee” and “pt pt pt pt,” if I have to describe the feeling of Julian in one page, it’s definitely this one LOL. When I first started TINF, I had a lot of people disliking my style and I think it scared me into becoming less cartoon-y/exaggerated over time (even by the end of the chapter), and that’s something I regret and had to work really hard on getting over. Outside of TINF, I feel like I’m reverting back to cartoon-y a bit (which I like), but I wish I exaggerated more in TINF… this 1st page shows when I was wild and free and I like that 😂
ch 07 pg 05 - the 3 middle panels are MY FAVORITE!!! I absolutely LOVE the joke of just blowing up an image to “zoom in” for a panel, just slightly making it lower quality, and then Julian in the pink panel…………. my sweet boy… I LOVE HIM he’s so cute, so earnest TT____TT))) I also love Landon laying on the ground + on Isaiah 😂 also wow that last panel dialogue.. don’t hurt me, Landon *upset thinking in contrast to recent pages*.. LOL
ch 10 pg 12 - this is the only good art I’ve ever drawn
ch 11 extra 02 - this page is on like every “favorites” list I’ve made but LISTEN!! I LOVE IT LOLOL I LOVE Julian’s handwriting + how he writes + all his diff papers + “pen running out of ink” TCH Past-Nicole… she really knew how to make Julian SO cute LOLOL I mean, I still do LOL *Julian stan*
ch 14 pg 15 - after 7+ yrs, jokes in TINF rarely remain funny, but this. This is gold……… gatsby 👁️👄👁️ what the hell
ch 15 cover - LANDON KISSED HIM ON THE CHEEK WHAT?????? I’M STILL LIKE??? PAST-NICOLE, PLS LOLOL I love this little “story” if you read from top-to-bottom, left-to-right! Esp the 2nd to last… Julian LOLOL goodness gracious, kid. Also I love the red shirt I used in this !!!
ch 18 pg 08 - that’s cute..
ch 19 pg 09 - this pg is cute LOL I’m good at drawing cars for some reason, like, seriously, the last panel I got ambitious and Isaiah opening the door for Selby is 👌👌👌 but the real star is the inside of the car door, like… calm down, Nicole, we get it, you draw cars better than people
ch 22 pg 01 - this chapter is randomly drawn so good IMO and idk why but it’s my favorite (drawing-wise)???? ig I was ~in the mood to draw~ LOL I like the wave of blanket in panel 2 and my sleepy babu in panel 3 😂
also can we just acknowledge how much I jam into 1 page of TINF??? Waking up / Julian’s not as excited as he used to be for Sydney Morgan / he’s troubled / hints that it directly correlates with Landon since he’s looking over at Landon’s house in the last panel like !!! I work hard for this biweekly comic LOL
ch 22 pg 08 - so much movement in this pg!! I luv!! I have too many ~important convos~ currently in TINF, which makes sense since I’m gearing towards the end, but I definitely miss them running around wildly like this LOL
There’s a bunch I like from this chapter but I won’t post them here bc 😴, but if you’re curious, they’re pages: 12, 13, 22, 23 !! Congrats, ch 22, I like u 👏👏👏🎉
ch 23 cover - I love my long boy, he’s so cute TT____TT))) even tho I think he’s a jerk and I’m mad at him LOLOL wow I’m really layin’ it w/the feelings in this list aren’t I LOL idk who’s reading this *continues*
ch 23 pg 34 - I’m unsure what I like more, angsty Landon or my background characters 😂
I also really like the next page (35) but idk if it’s like a “favorite”…
ch 23 pg 59 - listen…………… I’M A SIMPLE GIRL, ANON
ch 24 pg 09 - idk I just like it LOL *push* *stop* *push* Bye + Isaiah’s pants look cute 😂
ch 24 pg 19 - Landon’s handwriting / Isaiah and Selby flirting playing / out in the city ??? Feels different, I like it LOL but the true winners of this art are the 2 dogs in panel 2
ch 24 pg 48 / 49 / 50 - describing lanjuls in 1 pg / 🍓 soft 🍓 / I SHIP THEM LMAO SHRIEKS
ch 25 pg 34 - HOLD HIM !!!!!!! I brought these feelings on myself
ch 25 pg 37 - I think I set this page up pretty good and I really like how it reads!!! I effectively break my own heart. Nice
ch 25 pg 42 - Dear Past-Nicole, thanks. I hate it. I spent 90000000 hrs on panel 3 Landon’s expression tho and I BELIEVE I GOT IT! So, it makes the list LOL
ch 26 pg 01 - I’M BASIC OOOOOK LOLOLOLOL LET ME LIVE!!!! I scream for 90 yrs
THAT’S IT! WE’RE DONE HERE!!! I feel like my “favorites” are weird, I have some page compositions I enjoy more since they’re more creative, but in the end there are just some drawings/feelings I like better in these pages.
Thank you so much for asking this question, I had fun looking back at older pages!! 💕

I KNOW ITS BEEN LIKE 300 YEARS BUT-
5 things you’ll find in my bag
Right now theres uhh Notebooks, both school and 1 art. Drink mix ins, with such great flavors as sour apple jolly rancher and crush pineapple (tm) Two packs of cards, one of which steam punk themed and the other your regular ol bicycle. A calculator. Its a shitty old one but its for tests, i have google and shit for anything i need myself.
5 things you’ll find in my bedroom
A roommate. Idk if he is gay or what but he isnt straight, name’s will. Chill dude. Sleepin rn, what a fella MY SICK ASS COMPUTER IM MISSING OUT ON BECAUSE MY ROOMMATE IS ASLEEP AAAAAAAAAAAAAA I WANNA PLAY ROCKET LEAGUE WITHOUT LAGGING TO HELL also programming my mods. Need to upload that shit. Shit what number we on, 3? Okay cool. A bed. Wow really a bed in your bedrooM? yeah its pretty fuckin spectacular i know. I dont have posters n shit so like i gotta be creative you feel. A microfridge. Now i know what youre thinking, “ah a small fridge whats the big deal?” but no you dont understand, its a microwave fucking bolted onto the top of a fridge. They gave zero fucks attaching these two together and apparently the name is the same way, WHY NOT A FRIDGEWAVE EVEN LIKE MICROFRIDGE JUST SOUNDS LIKE A SMALL FRI- Last but not least, im tempted to just say my wallet here tbh, cuz its old but like, youd EXPECT that now would you? Something boring and mundane for me to fill out the word count with making everything super exciting so nah man, fuck it. Theres air in my bedroom. Fight me.
5 things I’ve always wanted to do in my life
Make a videogame. Like okay, a lot of stuff on this list is jokes and stuff, and I know im going into too much detail and my followers will probably murder me in cold blood for this shit, but im serious about this one like - i have some ideas, but i never have the motivation alone to like work whole-heartedly and finish one but like, at some point in the future id love to sit down and just go at it and make a game. Doesnt matter if its popular or big or small just i wanna make something that i love ya feel? I wanna like, go to newark, delaware. I know, its delaware and all, no one lives there, but ive met a bunch of cool people there and i was promised a donut run sometime, so lookin forward to that. Yknow that post awhile back that was like “i dont wanna be rich and like buy shit, i just wanna have enough money to throw at kickstarters whenever i want without having to strain on my food and rent costs” thats me. 100% Like i wanna have just enough money to be able to donate to cool people and watch them do cool shit - it wont always work out but thats fine, I just love shit. I wanna be able to donate like the high prize and fly out to meet these game studios for coffee and shit and just talk with em and see their passion and ideas. I love it. Im not actually really sure besides those. Like idk. I think itd be cool to enter a game tournament with my brother and win, but i doubt thatll happen and its not super like on my desires just itd be cool cuz we named ourselves Sora and Shiro after NGNL and to see that like, have us win would be great. Yeah. Ill make my fifth to think of a fifth one.
5 things on my to do list
FLOPPY DICKS i mean disks. Floppy disks. I do binding of isaac ab+ modding shit, and im currently working (its mostly done for what i want it to do) which adds a new consumable called floppy disks, effects are based on viruses, bugs, and just computer based shit. Like BSOD for instance, which makes the screen literately bluescreen. Or atleast look like it. Cant wait to watch people play with it. I gotta work on the programming class project too but honestly i dont waannnaaa. Like its cool as shit. Recreate a card game using c++ code. But man, i just love Apocrypha and Floppies so much more. Eat today???? Please. Dining hall opens in 3 hours. Its goddamn 4 am. I want my food. Dunno if ill get it - if ill stay awake till then. But i want it. Probably draw some stuff? Like i posted one drawing already (check it out if u wanna ;) kay?) but like theres wacom tablets here i can just kinda use whenever???? its great. I love being able to just draw stuff on em. Even if i suck at drawing, even if it took 10 hours to make the one i posted here, still love. Probably play more rocket league. Sleep first, soon as i get that food im CRASHIN BOI IM OUTTIE HA but uhh, rocket league has a halloween thing rn and i like playing it. Was playing earlier today and i matchd with a dude in 2v2 that had the same car, skin, AND colors set up as mine. Totaly random. We kicked some major ass together. I kept thinking of the same hat comic the entire time. (also my card was superior because it had furry ears on it ;))
5 things that make me happy
Getting an idea for a thing and working at said thing until like boom it went from this abstract idea to now it has a physical form and it works! And its fun and its great and i can share it with other people and they can have fun too!!!! that feeling is wonderful. Obviously friends man. Just doing shit with people can be so great sometimes - like not all the time sure but like man. Its nice to talk to people and share experiences and just smile and tell bad jokes and have them groan but like it anyway like thats the shit. Going out at 2 am and walking to a nearby run down schoolyard and swinging on the swingsets and watching shooting stars burn up. Thats the good shit. Getting tents and setting em up in your friends back yard when your friend from far away comes up for a few days, and playing ridiculous games in a group like kick the can or fuckin zombie screaming your lungs out in the dark to freak em out, or just talkin around a fire about fuckin life man. The people make life great. Shits worth living for. I realize that last answer covered a LOT of shit but like, im just gonna add here videogames. Would be amiss if i didnt mention that, considering the rocket league rant above lmao. Yeah i better not make this category any longer.
5 things I’m (currently) into
Isaac modding, probably will be for awhile. Its good shit. As a suggestion from one of the people I work with (we also fuck around its a good time) i have started watching space dandy. Its a slow progress through lol like an episode or two a day but god man like its pretty ridiculous and the main character is pretty much everything i was expecting from seeing him everywhere. Rocket league again. It comes and goes with various different games to tide me over, give me a break from working. Bout 2 months ago or so said relaxing time was dominated by anime - i suddenly went on like a massive streak of watching shit. By that i mean, i watched all of hunter x hunter in like 2 weeks, among other shows prior to it. But yeah. Fuck man HXH I LOVED THE KING WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. I have too many emotions about that. I wrote a rant to the Groupchat (tm) about the fucking battle and how everything is in slow motion but it fucking like makes it like foreshadowed and have so much of an impact and still so much fucking happens even while everything runs at super slow mo just GOD KLASFJBHUGHASFIUHIPJASK anyway. Yeah. Music, as always im listening to like constantly. Wireless headphones are a wonder for this, but uhh....i cant say im especially into any specific thing rn right? Like a bit ago i was super into joywave and then that faded out and now im just listening to whatever random shit, yknow? But I am into music in general. Its good. Art! A lot of times i dont do shit like for drawing right, like especially not in like pencil in notebooks but like, i sorta started doing a lot more art stuff? Like i had a period awhile back last year where i stopped using pencils and used only pens and i just loved the aesthetic of the ink like how it looked (funny how im doing the opposite of the fucking inktober though, huh?) but yeah im back into using pencils to draw shit occasionally. Im still terrible at drawing people (which is what i see mostly everyone drawing on tumblr lmao RIP) but its fun to sketch stuff out and just let my thoughts run and bounce to some music and shit right? Also the tablets. Especially with the tablets.
5 things people may not know about me (at least on tumblr)
I basically constantly wear sweatshirts, and they all have like earbuds where the strings go. All the earbud shits are broken pretty much, like occasionally they work (the one i have rn does) but like, i dont ever really use them? i have wireless headphones for my phone and a headset (because i need the mic for my computer) for said computer so like, idk. But yeah. I rarely take em off when im not home, and sometimes even when i am i just kinda keep em anyway? (also just now i realized i talked in the section for room shit about all the stuff in my current dorm, my room at home has all KINDS of wierd fucking shit in it. Really missed an opportunity there.) Like many people i like to stay hydrated and shit, but drinking water all the time seemed like a chore more than anything so i got like drink mix ins and shit, mio’s or whatever offbrand version you can find at your local SUPERSTORE CONGLOMERATE. I drink em like all the time pretty much so atleast im health in one way :P. Also gummy vitamins. I dont excercise but you can only ask for so much. Idk, its hard to think of things for this section because tumblr knows so little about me yknow? Like i never make my own posts or shit like its SUPER rare so im pretty much just tryna find random facts but that might not be interesting? Like i have a bad habbit of like talking way too loud when im excited about something right? Not quite yelling but like getting there and like idk. See? Thats not super interesting but it is something no one online would be able to really know ya feel? Idk. I mean physically im kinda fat as you do, but im also like wierdly strong? Like for someone who never works out i sure do have arm strength if nothing else lmao. My endurance is shit tho. Honestly? I can only blame it on osu and groceries. Osu is just a game i like where you mash buttons to the beat of weaboo shit tier music. The groceries is just because like, well, my policy is Least Trips Possible which means carrying in 13 bags at a time if need be it, fuck it milk too? And a watermellon? Bring it.
Who am I tagging? Idk man. Just for shits and stuff tho i do wanna tag @theoriginalyami just to see what all’s changed in teh long time since i actually went to fill it out :P Dont feel like you have to add as much as me tho omg @milkchocolateowl because honestly? love you. Think about you a lot, just like glad im mutuals with that ray of sunshine. Good. @fantaledfish <3 (this is the friend i mentioned earlier, runs a QUALITY blog i guarantee it, better than mine for sure) @dragonfucker-supreme always top in my notes, a silent bond, like two guards assigned to watch back to back in the early dawn. Birds gather round. I can only tag so many people (i set myself a limit of 5 because...idk why i just mentally it felt right) so for my last trick gotta go with @ask-oncies-jizz like cmon man name changes for the win, also has quality icons and quality shitposts tbh, supreme top meme. Have fun yall.

2.) Finish an animation. (so much unfinished stuff...not limited to animation)

Currently into
(this ones hard because gosh dang whats up brain. like something)
1.) Kitchen Nightmares and Hotel Hell. I like Gordon Ramsay. Although I’m not really paying attention but its nice to have in the background pfff
2.) Cartoon reviews and movie reviews. I love having these play in the background, i always go back to ihateeverything, raplhthemoviemaker, and mysteriousmrenter.
3.) I’m TRYING to get into Fire Emblem, hence why I’m TRYING to play Awakening, BUT I HAVE THE ATTENTION SPAN OF A FISH

Things on your to-do list
1.) I HAVE BASKETS OF LAUNDRY IN THE BASEMENT IN THE LIVING ROOM SO I HAVE TO DISTRIBUTE THAT

Things people may not know about you
1.) I have been sheltered all my childhood. I wasn’t allowed outside by myself, so i was barely allowed outside. My parents’ schedules messed things up. I had a swingset in the backyard, a large driveway and basketball hoop on the driveway, but i barely got to play with them. Now it’s uncomfortable to leave the house despite being and adult and wanting to travel.
2.) I cannot swim. I can stay afloat and doggie paddle but I’m too afraid to put my head underwater. I’ve almost drowned like 3 times and they were all in Florida. So I’m afraid of putting my head underwater.
3.) I'm scared of wrists. In 6th grade, people labelled me as emo because i liked to wear black back then? I looked up what emo really meant and it terrified me the pictures i found...not to mention a few of my friends did c u t and they would show me. Why did they show? WHY DID THEY SHOW ME?
4.) Toddlers like me for some reason. Like can’t they tell I’m uncomfortable around them? I just make funny faces and noises a lot so maybe there’s that...they think I’m a cartoon pfff
5.) I have a fucking terrible self esteem. It may not be obvious because I pretend to be a cocky, flamboyant douche whenever I get compliments, but behind the computer I’m freaking sweating and crying. Like, wow you guys actually like my art.
I tag whoever thinks this seems like fun lol
