Daily Doodle 228 – November 30, 2018

I wanna see myself drawing all the time, but as soon as I get on my PC, I instantly stay and do something else by impulse, it keeps my stress there

.. And I didn’t actually slam my desk, but I’m still frustrated

 Today I woke up pretty late and got on my PC to doodle as I wanted to get on with the day. I listened to some Halo music and worked on the doodle until it was done

I then finally left my room and made myself a yummy cheesy breakfast of scrambled eggs. I then got back on my PC to start the day.. By not doing much.. It feels weird that I bash myself for wasting time during the day but at the moment I just wanna relax and destress the stress I can’t bring myself to tackle

Anyways, I caught up with all the videos I had piled up from yesterday, browsed a bit of art, browsed memes. Then noticed more videos got uploaded, guess Friday is the day for that

Later in the afternoon, I finally started finishing the inking phase on the commission I’ve been meaning to hurry and finish. Got some nice new tunes and got to preparing the colors

I then watched another cruise video, getting that need to go on one again. I later launched some games to take some screenshots a friend asked for. Once done I just spent the night chatting with Pix

Paid my phone to not have to worry about that and then made myself a quesadilla. I then continued working on the commission a bit, browsed some references

Pix went to sleep early and I just then chatted, telling some people that aren’t from the island how it’s annoying for people who call me at night cuz they mention the coqui frogs here being loud. I guess my mic amplifies it but everyone on the island isn’t bothered by those little frog noises, in fact, I have trouble sleeping if I don’t hear them!

Anyways, I ate a bunch of cookies and wrote the doodle. It was a very uneventful day, wow.. Though a few fun chat stuff happened at night, but nothing too special

Commission for Lucky-D-raptor1 (on Furaffinity)

Oh hey, you can finally see your sonas in my doodle style without having to actually end up in my daily doodle!!

ANYWAYS! I made multiple versions of this commission, 4 to be exact, I wasn't sure which one to really focus on for future doodle style commissions, but this one is my favorite. Including my doodle style in commissions makes me draw stuff I normally wouldn't in my daily doodle, so it expands a lot more and I love that!

Have a cute and adorable dragon bunny!

Daily Doodle 225 – November 27, 2018

Troubles in relationships happen, I guess it’s normal

Just don’t know how to deal with them, really. I’ve got no idea if I’m helping by talking or making it worse, but it’s better than silence, right?

 Today I woke up just in time to upload the doodle, said my good mornings to Pixie but it was instantly apparent he was in a bad mood. I didn’t make much of it though, which I guess was a mistake.. I then read some news before getting on my PC while eating some cereal. The rest of the morning was just me browsing art

I then helped do a few chores until it started raining, had a chat with an old friend who wanted to know how art raffles worked, then played some Ravenfield for a short while before helping with more chores

I also felt.. really weird with the news of Stephen Hillenburg’s passing.. I had just met him at the Nickelodeon studios a year ago and it feels so odd

A bit later Pix and I had another one of those chats where we tried fixing issues we had, but yet again I don’t think much came out of it. I half blame myself but don’t really feel it, even though I do still feel I’m mean and stuff.. But that can also not be true, not sure.. Or I’m just cold and careless  when it comes to this love/maintaining a friendship stuff

I made some progress on a commission later at night but not enough to satisfy me. Browsed way too much art as usual, watched Pixie stream which was nice

Then spent the night just chatting with Pixie and watching a few more vids until he went to bed

I also realized my ear wasn’t bothering much today, guess the eardrops I’ve been using weren’t helpful at all, they made things worse.. They were expired too.. But now my left hand hurts, whyyyy. At least it’s not my drawing hand

Much later at night I had an episode of deep thinking where I thought to myself I probably lost passion.. for everything. That or I’m too comfortable and just can’t create like that, who knows, not me.. But that obviously made me pretty sad

Anyways, I doodled and went to beddd

Daily Doodle 224 – November 26, 2018

We stopped by a new dollar store today!

We’ve never seen anything be this cheap!! Most things were plasticky odd stuffs but other things were useful, looked reliable enough and still cheap!!

 Today I woke up, uploaded the doodle and stayed in bed for a bit. I then later got on my PC for a little bit, then made myself some hot dogs. I didn’t do much in the morning aside from playing a bit of Ravenfield again and then browsing art

Sometime later in the afternoon I left outside to wash my car since my bro had finished washing his. I was then rushed as Pixie suddenly made plans for us to go out today. I still didn’t had much of a hurry and finished before getting ready..

I then left down to the city where I arrived at his school after some traffic. I picked up some of his friends, he dropped off Wilson at his house and then we headed out to refuel my car which was super low on fuel. After this, we all headed out to a McDonalds since they apparently had some nice deals today

We got our food and sat down to eat. After so things got crazy when jokes started going around, we shared memes and some funny stories the guys had. One of them even ended up crying from laughing so much!

We left to one of those friend’s house to hang out for a bit before then leaving. Dropping off the other friend and then heading to this really interesting Chinese dollar store that opened recently. I’ve never been to a dollar store that wasn’t Puerto Rican, so this was a new experience

There we saw almost EVERYTHING, they had so many different things we never think about. Some were even extremely worth it!! Pix and I kept browsing around and constantly being amazed until we then left. Pixie would probably buy something there next time we come by!

I had also been chatting with another possible commissioner all this time and this one looks very promising!!

We then stopped at some auto parts store as Pixie was looking for something but couldn’t really find it. We then left to his house for a bit until we headed out again to get some deserts for his grandma. Pixie then hard stopped the car while driving just because I said something “dumb” to him which annoyed me, he noticed this and got mad himself. Guess I can’t get angry so I’ll just.. not show it

We forgot about that and then left to do some small grocery shopping. Pix got some grapes that they.. accidentally didn’t charge half for, as well as a pumpkin pie since Pixie wanted to try. At home he tried the pie and not surprisingly didn’t like it, so I ate it all. He enjoyed the grapes instead

The rest of the night we spent just cuddling a bit, relaxing browsing stuff and watching a video. Sometime later he got on his PC to draw while I watched. My ear issue was getting pretty bad by this time, but I tried my best to ignore it

Pix later got some craving for Burger King, it was late at night and I wasn’t gonna even think of eating anything greasy, so I got the food just for him when we headed out (Usually when I get him food, he pays back aaa). We then headed back home where he studied a bit of a poem he had to learn for class, then we kissed goodbye and I left

I arrived home just fine and proceeded to write the doodle earlier than usual. Pix then went to bed and I kept writing until I got distracted by fixing some maps of my city that were missing features in a maps app I started reusing

I then finished writing the doodle and drew it as I wanted to sleep more in the morning even if Pix disliked that~

The End of the Daily Doodle

This is it, this was the last doodle. I inspired and motivated so many people to take on this challenge and I'm really really proud to have seen their progress firsthand, regardless if I didn't interact with them much To the ones that followed the doodles from the very beginning, you got to see a lot of my biggest ups and downs throughout these 4 years. From a breakup, to a new relationship. From a hurricane to surviving daily on a drastically changed lifestyle. From some of the most stressful college days and all-nighters, to fun days out with friends at lunchtime. I can read back on these days and I sure miss them so much.. I miss old friends that I don’t see or talk to as much. I also miss feeling a bit more like I have a strong goal to work towards. I’m glad I archived most of my college years so I can fully relive them just by seeing the drawn doodle and remembering that whole day, and if not, the written story will do just fine~ As stated before, the doodles have also been affecting my health to the point of also being outright dangerous. My neck injury some time ago was caused by me falling asleep while doodling late at night! I can't manage time well at all and having to draw the doodles didn't help, but I did have my fun, I just need to rest more now At one point I had planned to keep the doodle going for DECADES, but after the hurricane last year, I realized the doodles took a lot of my time and I started to realize it wasn't that enjoyable, especially after graduating and falling into a boring routine where I spent most of my time alone.. it just wasn't fun and my doodles all looked the same even though I mostly figured out a way to make them all different each day. Still, I felt that the quality of my writing plummeted and got repetitive with shorter and shorter paragraphs being written down. If they got this repetitive by me not attending university anymore, imagine if I got a job! I just.. wasn't having as much fun as before, it felt more like a responsibility to keep them going and to keep my readers happy. I used to feel a lot of pride when someone mentioned how cool it was that I kept drawing these every day and asked how I got inspiration. Nowadays I don't feel that pride, it's just a small drawing I do but spend way too much time writing and remembering, analyzing in a map which places I visited, what I did there and for how long since my memory can do so much now. Browsing my own search history to see how much time I wasted doing something until I realize I didn't do anything aside from that, it's sad.. and brings me back to why I started the doodles in the first place. I was seeing my yearly art summary which was empty and that depressed me, now I'm doing the same but documenting it in detail.. I didn't progress much at all in my motivation to draw, I just draw lineart better and faster.. Which is good but not what I aimed for. Now, to be fair, 2016 was a year where I progressed a lot in animation and putting my name out there, but I’m afraid I gotta work to rebuild what I started that year Back in 2016 when the doodle was still going strong, I saw myself doing daily doodles about my life at work in whatever workplace I would be working at in the future. Since doodling now felt so pushed and forced, I think the doodle would have ended up repetitive or even intrusive in terms of potentially spoiling a work secret or just getting in the way of my work schedule.. it just wasn't gonna work  By 2018, because of how hard it was to return to doodling again because of the hurricane and the fact I had to drop around 100 doodles from being drawn because I was so behind. I was fully planning on ending the doodles whenever I got a job. (I'm writing this in September and hope that I do end the doodle before the end of the year, it'll mean I actually landed a job before 2019! :D) (2019 Edit: I didn’t) Friends have told me it's okay to end the doodle and rest, I wanted to keep it going for many years but I realized it’s unrealistic with my current scheduling issues. Distracting myself into the night and ending up drawing the doodle at 3am instead of earlier to sleep. I remember I used to STRICTLY doodle at 10pm back when I started, but the doodles were a 5-minute mess and were very hard to understand These friends have also told me that out of everyone they know, I was the one to hold onto this challenge the longest. I end the doodle feeling proud to have done this much, it was a fun project, experiment and motivation to keep going as well as observing closer to everything happening around me every single day

Either way, I’m hopeful that taking some stress off of me might improve my health and even more hopefully, leave time and create some motivation to tackle other projects like my commissions, animation skills and hopefully create a nice portfolio to land a job with.. Here’s hoping for the best The daily doodles will remain untouched and archived. While my more active pages will push the doodles back and will be harder to read back upon, there are places where you can see them without having to search much: 2015 Doodles - https://www.deviantart.com/jeany545/gallery/52571699/2015-365-Challenge

TUMBLR DOODLES MIGHT OR NOT HAVE A FEW MISSING BECAUSE OF FAULTY NSFW BANS The doodles might make a return some day.. Maybe some day when I learn to keep a good schedule.. But right now, I rest. Thank you for reading these 4 years of my life, everyone~

Daily Doodle 259 – December 31, 2018 (The Last Doodle)

And here’s the end of the year and the end of a long fun project. 1,356 doodles counted, I think that’s quite a lot and I need a rest

I’ll truly miss drawing these doodles and expressing my day in art continuously. I’m sad to disappoint my readers, but I’m happy a lot have understood. I’ll miss your comments, replies and reactions to my doodles every day.. Thank you~

 Today I woke up early-ish, surprisingly I didn’t have a headache or was super groggy. I got up to write the doodle and then talk with Pixie a bit before he left to probably sleep again. I then got to sketching, then showering to wake up before inking

I don’t remember much between this, but I did finish by the afternoon.. very late somehow. I know I was eating between this time, so maybe that delayed me more

Anyways, I finished it up and then just watched some funny videos and relaxed. I then worked a bit on a request for Pixie until I was told I should be getting ready. Apparently, the party we were gonna go to started sooner than I expected

So I got ready and all, but realized I had no thick sweater.. So, I’d probably freeze up where we were going as it’s fully exposed to the east air

We got there and yes.. it was chilly. We also had a super wide and clear view of the ENTIRE city, which was rad as heck. It’s been forever since I was last at this place, it’s a community center

I took some pictures and then sat down to try and chat with the low signal I had. We greeted the family members arriving and just spent the time sitting down as more people arrived

I snacked on some meatballs and plantains, then had two shots of sangria.. then some jolly rancher jello with vodka.. and then two light beers.. And I have friends telling me that’s nothing, including my parents and bro who drank the same and were fine

I WAS NOT! I WANTED TO FALL AND SLEEP!! I was so woozy yet again, I leaned against and corned and felt so tired. I eventually got some water but it was cold and I was cold outside too. So after some time, I walked to the van and got mom’s sweater

I then just sat down until I was super tired.. I leaned against a railing and was trying to fall asleep even with music blasting

After a while, my bro told me to go to the van to sleep. So, I left there and laid down to nap inside for a couple of hours since midnight was like 3 hours away still

I stayed napping and listening to calm music, replying to some messages from time to time until it was near midnight. I noticed it was drizzling which is expected as it ALWAYS rains during new years

I got out and walked to see the fireworks which were already going off. The rain eventually arrived and it was freezing cold, but we got to see the show even if it wasn’t fully clear. It then got really foggy anyway

We celebrated, though I didn’t do anything as I was tired. Then called Pixie to wish him a happy new year, then after a bit we finally left back home. It was foggy everything still

Back at home, I had planned to just throw myself in bed but Pixie was up and I wasn’t that sleepy anymore.. So I sat down to write the doodle and chat, I’ll draw the doodle tomorrow and post a long message I had prepared for the final day of these doodles.. I then laid in bed to chat with Pixie 3 hours into 2019 until he fell asleep, only line I’ll write about 2019 heh

 This will really be the last doodle.. it’s kinda hard to believe.. Wow.. So many years working on these doodles, and a good chunk of those including a summary or whole story of my day. It’ll take me a while to get used to not having anxiety when going to sleep or waking up feeling I have a responsibility of doing the doodle. I’ll also have to get used to not have to worry about making sure my maps app is open to track all my movements through the day to remember for the doodle story.. I just have to relax.. Be able to sleep whenever I want now and pick myself back up, especially regarding my health. Thank you for sticking with me~

Daily Doodle 222 – November 24, 2018

What a nice meeting of friends! It went so well!

And before this, Pix and I cooked our first dish together, what a great day!

 Today I woke up early and was comfortable in bed but had to get ready. I got peanut butter and jelly as Pixie wanted to experiment on something and left

Got to Pixie’s and quickly made a PB and J breakfast sandwich.. with egg.. Pixie got inspired by a Verne Troyer video (RIP) and wanted to try it. It actually tasted very good! It was kinda unusual with the peanut butter but good

Left for Sears in Wilson to try and replace a tool Pixie had which had lifetime warranty, but they didn’t have it stocked. Pix also worked a bit on his turn signal wiring at the parking lot as it’s been bringing issues. Then left to a cheap stuff store on the other side of the city to get some bulbs and detergent, Pix also got some antlers for cars and put them on Wilson which looked really cute!

We later spent an hour or so at home just cuddling and waiting as the furry meet we had today was in the afternoon and it was still early

Left to get some groceries to make a gilbertini at home, a pasta Pixie loves a lot from Pizza Hut. We got most of them but forgot flour, so we dropped the ingredients at home, the pasta would start being made by his grandma and we left to get the flour nearby

After this, we realized we needed a baking pan. So we left to a nearby gas station but they didn’t have any, so we left to the Party City nearby and got one. My car had a little gear related episode where it got stuck between drive and neutral. Pixie drove it a bit without realizing until it shifted itself to neutral. The whole car stank like clutch, but it seemed to be working fine either way.. But that issue has happened before, ugh

We got home and quickly got to cutting up the ingredients and stirring everything. It was the first time we cooked something together for real, not just bake something premade and we were having loads of fun! After everything was done, we poured the pasta to the pan, topped it with cheese and baked it. We then served after some minutes and.. it tasted almost identical! It was a bit dry and the pasta was a bit more bland, but we nearly got the recipe right! Pixie was very satisfied and it was a very good first try to a dish he likes a lot, I was proud of us both too for doing this together!

We got ready and left to the meet in my car to not faint from the heat today. We arrived at the mall meet place and mostly all sat down to talk since we didn’t find a good table. I later got my sketchbook and we all sat down at a good table to draw, play some kalimbas two people brought and just have fun. It was a very nice and calm meet, the awesome beaver person hosting it was very young and it was their first time hosting a meet, and I gotta say it went very good! We also traded a few gift sketches which was rad, I loved the fact that every single one of us drew!

After a bit, some people left since they arrived with company. Pix and I later said our goodbyes and left too. We left to the nearby usual mall to try and replace that tool Pixie wanted to replace in the morning, but that didn’t work either cuz they didn’t have it stocked.. So, we left back to our city

On the way there, someone almost hit us but I was focused and swerved away. I got helped by Pixie gasping making me react faster, but I then reassured him to calm him down since he got a bit shaken up

We arrived at the city and got to the Fuddruckers where we ate some burgers. It’s been a while since we last ate here. After getting full, we left to a Home Depot to check if the tool could be replaced there but they don’t replace that brand.. So, we finally left home

We spent a long while there, trying to fix an issue with the Miata’s blinkers using solder and tying wires but Pix got very frustrated as he couldn’t manage to fix it. I saw it as hopeless but he eventually managed to find a way to fix it.. It’s a mess of short cables, loose wires and lots of electrical tape, but it holds up enough.. Pixie later apologized for acting a bit aggressive during this cuz I was quiet.. I didn’t wanted to say anything to frustrate him more, but I guess he knew

We then were about to take Wilson out to a friend’s house to drop off a movie, but the Miata started making some odd flapping sounds in the engine bay, so Pix parked it again and we took my car instead. He seemed frustrated again cuz of the aggressive driving he was now doing, which really concerned me, but I didn’t say anything again

We arrived, dropped off the movie and got some food at a nearby Burger King. I didn’t want any of it as I was tired of BK, so we left home where we just cuddled again, but this time sleepily. I did mess around with Pixie since my hands were cold and I love touching him to make him jump, it’s evil but we always do this kind of stuff to each other. I was also sadly dealing with some increasingly worsening ear pains, same as last time sorta.. But I believe it was just a bump or pimple growing in my ear

I kept almost falling asleep on the bed until we left to the kitchen. Pixie washed some dishes from earlier, but I was still tired. We eventually kissed goodbye and I left

I safely made it home, Pix went to bed and I went to shower. While there, I was starting to reconsider a stance I had regarding my doodles and next year.. But I don’t know yet, I might talk about it in a separate post

I then wrote the whole doodle with notes too and headed to bed. I’ll draw it tomorrow, I REALLY can’t tonight.. zzz

[lonedailydoodle]

Daily Doodle 254 – December 26, 2018

The day was uneventful for the most part, but later at night I joined this one Discord server

I gotta say, I’m having a blast chatting there, it’s full of fun people!

 Today I got woken by a call from mom, her van wouldn’t turn on at work. I got ready and left on my way down there to pick her up and come back home, stopping to refuel before coming back

After so, I sat down to doodle, but it took me way longer than it should have cuz my bro wanted me to search for a solder tool I had but was misplaced by someone somehow.. Hmm

Anyways, after doodling I watched one video before I had to go down to the city with mom again to drop her off at her van since dad was gonna arrive to fix it and get it home. I then drove home and a minute later they arrived, either they were both speeding, or they fixed it really quickly

It failed again at home though, so mom will have to use my car tomorrow, so I gotta postpone this insurance thing

I didn’t do much for the rest of the afternoon but chat with an old friend lots, spend some time in my other chats and look for random videos to watch. Got some new musics and then had me a pork sandwich using yesterday’s meat

Much later at night, I worked a bit on a commission and later joined this really rad Discord server from a webcomic artist I follow and saw there were some old friends in there. The rest of the night was pretty fun chatting in there. Pixie later went to bed, but I stayed in the chat talking, switching between writing the doodle too. I then drew it before bed, but it was late, phew

[lonedailydoodle]

Daily Doodle 230 – December 2, 2018

Who would have thought I’d end up helping in a shelter out of nowhere!

Pix and I enjoyed it a lot, a lot of those dogs were so friendly! <3

 Today I woke up after a nice sleep, though I was a bit groggy. I quickly got ready, talked with dad a bit and then left down to the city. I kept an eye for that missing antler from last night but didn’t see it.. I also drove by what seemed to be a quick meet.. Of local supercars.. It was a BUNCH of Nissan GTRs, Porsches and all kinds of expensive, sporty and luxury cars. My guess is that they were meeting for a bit to then leave somewhere

I then arrived at Pixie’s where I edited the doodle he inked for me a bit, then uploaded it. We then hung out for a while before heading out in Wilson to try and see that meet but didn’t see it. We then just refueled Wilson and headed back home to switch to my car

We then left to get some groceries at another supermarket we barely go to cuz.. most things are a bit more expensive.. But they have the frozen supreme pizza Pixie loves! I also really like the ambient there, it looks much more.. I dunno.. Modern? I like it either way

Got home again, stored everything, I ate a Serenata (Chocolate wafer) Pixie got me and then ate some cereal too since we hadn’t eaten anything. Browsed some memes and then later left to get me a coffee as I was feeling my lack of sleep get to me

We got that cheap and good coffee at Walgreens, managed to pay with some change Pixie had, then headed home again. The caffeine got to me and I felt   W O K E   again!

After so, we left to what we had planned today which was to visit an animal shelter at the outskirts of the city to finish some community hours for Pixie

We got there and it was kinda secluded but sorta near my house even. There were a bunch of loose dogs with bandanas running outside and greeted us, some seeming a bit cautious and others being very approachable and friendly. They were barking for a while but eventually went quiet cuz we were just petting them all. Pixie’s grandma came along but I guess it was cuz she knows the shelter owner.. Also, to be witness for the community hours, I guess

Pixie immediately got pulled to work and I sat there waiting for a bit until I got pulled too. I willingly accepted to volunteer since I really didn’t feel like staying there for hours and not see Pixie, so I helped alongside him!

We got gloves and got told what we’d do. We then started helping some volunteers that were all there. They seemed to be more experienced in this as we took a while to know what we were doing. We cleaned food bowls, kennels while dogs were still inside and fed them. Most were barking at first, but none were aggressive, they eventually all noticed we were there just to take care of them and didn’t bark, also because they were fed and happy. Pix and I grew fond of a couple of dogs that were very very wide and heavy but also extremely friendly, they were just adorable and loved having us around too!!

We kept doing the same procedure of cleaning the bowls, kennels and then feeding the dogs until we were almost done. By this time, all volunteers had left as they probably had a schedule, but Pix, me and one of the shelter keepers were all still cleaning and feeding. I liked focusing on cleaning all the piles of food bowls as I could do that quickly until it was all done with all that was left was feeding a couple more dogs

Pix and I cleaned up a bit and left to the office area where they gave him the community hour papers, they thanked us for all our help then we left back home. It felt really nice to help this much, I also got to quickly see two rooms which were cat heaven!! <3

We then spent the rest of the afternoon at home relaxing our tired legs and backs. We baked the frozen pizza Pixie got as well as some mozzarella sticks. I also watched Pixie play a game called Super Lucky’s Tale which is really adorable! He played it for some hours before stopping and going to draw on his PC. I watched him along and we cuddled a tiny bit in between alongside his dog

After a while, Pix told me I should go as it was already the night and he had school tomorrow. So we spent a bit of time outside, kissed goodbye and I then left home earlier than usual

I got home, talked with dad a bit who was awake, then settled down at my PC to catch up with a few videos and chat with Pix before he went to bed. I then spent the late night writing the doodle before being rudely interrupted cuz the power went out. It came back some minutes later, but I lost a bit of doodle writing progress. The power stayed up and I finished writing a bit later but I wouldn’t draw tonight as I want to catch up on some zzz I got time tomorrow!

Daily Doodle 241 – December 13, 2018

What even if wrong with me.. I used to do these 2D animation roughs weekly in a few hours.. I want that back

And I promised myself I would finish all my commission queue this month before next year, what a joke

 Today I woke up to a call from Pixie. He’s now waking me up early-ish to finish the doodle, so I can continue my day, he also reminds me at night now too. I got up after a bit and got to doodling. After so, I got me some cereal and sat down to catch up with what I missed yesterday.. which was apparently a lot

I browsed some art between these and later got another call from Pixie. Apparently a parking fine he had gotten some months got a bit altered to make it seem like it was written more than half a year ago, then it got officially registered a few days ago so Pixie could finally pay it, but cuz of this mess he got fined extra “for being late” this frustrates me so much and just makes it look like they want more money out of Pixie cuz of this

Anyways.. I tested some ships I downloaded in Space Engineers, then got back out to start preparing that animation I should have been working on

A while later, I got me some lunch, a whole box of mac and cheese for myself. Then later kept working a bit on that animation, but not making much progress cuz of distraction.. But at least it was ready now. Though I did need to stop to ask something about it to the direction before continuing

After so, I didn’t do much besides watching another cruise vid and chatting with Pix. He later went to bed as I started writing the doodle early cuz I needed to be up early tomorrow. So I then got to drawing it early as well

[lonedailydoodle]

Daily Doodle 253 – December 25, 2018

Pix got to hang out with my family today!

We also got to eat some very very nice pork, it was a really nice day <3

 Today I got woken up early cuz I had to go with my bro to get some stuff for the party today. I congratulated my dad on his birthday and then left. We got bread for breakfast and then some ice at a gas station, also refueling

Once back at home, I could smell the pig cookin’! I then just made myself a breakfast sandwich, then sitting down at my PC to catch up with the few videos uploaded recently cuz nobody was making stuff cuz of Christmas

The rest of the morning was just that, me on my desk waiting as Pixie would show up soon. He eventually did, we all greeted, he looked at the pig and later got a taste of it. We both also helped bring the tables and chairs to the garage for the party, then left to the room

There we watched some videos for an hour, then just cuddled my cat that was on the bed

A while later, we helped set things up. Setting down the chairs and the tables. After this dad started cutting the pork up and more family members started arriving. We then ate together and spent some time outside

Pix and I later went inside as it was very cold out and we wanted to hang out in the room for a little bit. Pix played some Quick, Draw! on my PC while I watched

We then left outside for a little while again, but it was to sing happy birthday to my dad. We all ate cake, but Pixie then had to go since his grandma didn’t want him driving too late at night. Kinda dangerous too with my mountain road going down

We kissed goodbye and then he left. I then stayed in the living room for a while chatting on my chats, then talking with my bro’s friend about car stuff

I later dropped off grandma at her house, then just stayed at my PC as the party was coming to a close. I helped store some stuff until all was done

I then stayed at my PC watching a few videos but getting really sleepy. So a while later, I started writing the doodle but decided I’ll draw it tomorrow.. As I write this, I most likely will go to sleep early or fall asleep while chatting with Pixie (I actually fell asleep on him and he got angry heh)

Daily Doodle 252 – December 24, 2018

Oh hey.. My first ever car accident.. At least it was a parking lot accident

I’m super glad I handled it well but man.. I hope this won’t be a long hassle

 Today I got woken up before my alarm by grandma who was outside. I rushed outside but it apparently was something that didn’t involve me.. But I was already awake, so I got to doodling as fast as I could and then getting ready. I left after the time I wanted to leave, darn easy distractions.. Aaagh.. I just wanted to make sure other people didn’t run into the same issue I had the other day where I couldn’t find a song, so I made sure it had an entry in an easy to search way

Anyways, I refueled near home since fuel was as cheap as the usual gas station I go to, then left to Pixie’s. We then quickly left to a nearby Subway where I got a cheese broccoli soup <3 and Pixie got a sub

We then left home to eat but then left a while later to deposit some money I got as an early Christmas gift. The nearest ATM was just outside the mall nearby and it was already crowded because of people buying last minute stuff

After depositing, we left on our way to Pixie’s dad’s house to get Wilson. Pix’s dad had left the keys accessible, so we took the Miata and started driving home. I could tell Pix had a lot of fun driving Wilson again, especially in some tunnels, but he noted that people were kinda aggressive drivers today and almost hit him

Anyways, we left Wilson at home and went to take out some money for Pixie, then head to the usual Burger King to eat

This is when the day took a turn.. I was ready to leave back to Pixie’s house but someone was blocking my car so I couldn’t get out. They eventually moved away, so I slowly reversed out but then felt a hard hit on my car.. Someone actually hit my car, it’s the first time I’ve ever been in a car accident while being the driver and the accident involving my car..

I got out and the other driver had a little argument with me blaming me and Pixie noticed I looked really angry too, but I was contained and calm. I was expecting emotions to take over and someone to get angry at me even though it wasn’t my fault. We then got out of the way and parked again, calling relatives and then the police as usual. Pix and I noticed cameras nearby too which would help with evidence

The police obviously didn’t arrive after an hour or so of waiting, so we left to the police command building to report it there. The police officer did all the paperwork and illustrated what had happened. They then told me something that was a bit of a relief. While I may not have been at fault, we still get compensated 50/50 because of it being a parking lot crash.. But what she did was illegal cuz turns out she reversed to go onto a parking lot and you really can’t do that there just like that. So we’ll see what happens.. We traded info and the driver apologized for this, I let her know that at least it was a parking lot accident and nothing major

We both then left, I headed to Pixie’s place and I then just ate some pernil (Pork). I watched him play some Forza and then had to go to help dad with the pig at home. I kissed Pixie goodbye though we’d see each other tomorrow <3

I carefully drove home, feeling more cautious and careful than before but safely made it

I then left to grandma’s with mom to get a long rotating stick that we use to hold and cook the pig (Sorry pig furs). I was feeling some really bad stomach cramps and had to REALLY use grandma’s bathroom before leaving home again, making sure the stick wouldn’t fall off

Once home, I helped dad with lifting the pig at times and just watching him secure and season it. I also helped by sliding the stick in so it would be a proper spit roast for tomorrow. After all this, we stored the pig and cleaned up

After showering, I greeted my uncle and cousin who arrived today. I was supposed to go with my bro in the afternoon to pick them up but the whole crash thing happened

Anyways, we then watched a new Predator movie together, struggling at times with buffering, then they left. The movie was good and at times funny by the way!

I then finally settled down at my PC and was overwhelmed with the amount of messages I didn’t read today.. One of my friends was even concerned cuz of how quiet I was

I spent the time chatting before writing the doodle. Pix went to bed and I then got to drawing.. It turned into a struggle as my 3 hours of sleep were catching up to me, but I wanted to sleep without worries, so I finished up the doodle and then zzz

Daily Doodle 210 – November 12, 2018

Animation is hard, it’s really really hard

I keep feeling rusty and it brings my hopes down, I still gotta find a way to have some fun with this

 Today I woke up early-ish, but I still felt really tired and closed my eyes for a while.. I thought an hour passed but in reality, it was just a few minutes. I got on my phone for a bit and then got on my PC, smelling bacon my bro was cooking and getting hungry, but I had to doodle

I eventually finished that up and then had a chat with my bro. We discussed Freddie Mercury stuff regarding how the band is doing nowadays and I showed him The Queen Extravaganza tribute band which Pixie had showed me some time ago

I then made myself a grilled cheese and sat down after eating to start the day. I watched a video and then started fixing up that animation, I quickly and easily got stressed out though, but I eased in by just.. not overthinking and starting to move things around. It was still keeping me anxious though.. I wanna move on from this animation..

I think I should ask for help between critique with this, but I also feel I’d be cheating somewhat.. I’m trying to show what I can do and fix it after critique, but I also feel I’d be bothering the ones helping me too much. They work on animation in places I wanted to go to but just.. didn’t end up in. I think my main obstacle in here is that I can’t accept the fact that I probably can’t do this alone.. Or that I can but.. I just don’t know

Anyways.. I saw the Pokémon Detective Pikachu trailer which was adorable as heck <3 I was then also messaged by dad that he was actually fixing and checking a Miata!! It was an easy fix but the car was an electrical mess more or so like Pixie’s.. But dad did NOT enjoy driving it. Not because of the feel of it, it’s cuz he didn’t fit well in it xD

An hour or so later I got the sad news about Stan Lee’s passing. While I’m not a diehard fan of comics or superheroes, I’m fully understanding on how much pain this brings to a lot of my artist friends. His contributions to writing and superheroes are amazing!

I worked a bit more on the animation and made some progress, but later moved to play some Halo Online again. I only play mini games and stuff, it’s just much more fun for me

I then had dinner and later continued playing a bit more. I kept having lag spikes while playing but this is something that has been happening with almost every game too, but I think this time they were more frequent the more I kept playing.. Might be a heating issue, I’m not sure. I’ll clean my PC and check over it tomorrow morning

I chatted with Pixie some more after I was done playing, then later at night he went to bed. I wrote the doodle and then drew it as I wanted to keep my PC off tonight to cool for tomorrow morning’s cleaning!

Daily Doodle 231 – December 3, 2018

YO! What were you guys thinking!? You don’t just straight up do this kind broad ban

This is just too inaccurate and ignores issues Tumblr always had! Seriously! It flagged a cute couple of sketches between Pix and I!

 Today I woke up just fine and stayed in bed for a short while before getting up. I didn’t do as previous mornings where I stay in my room to doodle, I instead said my mornings to my parents, mom mentioned my eyes being red (Probably cuz of not much sleep), brushed and then got to doodling while catching up with my news videos

After so, I made myself a burger, cleaned some stinky shoes and then got on my PC again to catch up with things, mostly chatting

I then saw the absolute mess of a news Tumblr put out which also affected me! They now have guidelines to ban all adult content including art but it’s horribly vague, so much it affected my main art blog when I don’t have anything adult there at all! Luckily it didn’t affect my daily doodle blog there, but I don’t trust it.. Everyone was freaking out about this, it’s just not good overall. Then again I mostly use the site for archiving my stuff nowadays since any activity I get are just.. bots.. Eugh

I researched West Virginia cuz of how pretty the place is, I wanna visit. Then caught up with a few videos I had left, also still seeing the crazy situation around Tumblr

I tried drying those shoes I was cleaning this morning but the sun went away and it started to rain.. So, they never dried up, great

I then grew tired of not progressing on commissions and did some very good progress on that commission I’ve been working on lately

Browsed some art and chatted with Pix until he went to bed much later at night. I then wrote up the doodle but realized it was way late again.. How.. I rushed drawing the doodle and went to bed as I had to wake up early tomorrow.. -Sigh-

Daily Doodle 248 – December 20, 2018

What a nice birthday! Lots of traveling, meeting an old friend and having lots of fun exploring this new city for us

The day even continued after we left with more fun stuff to do back at home. Happy birthday, Pixie <3

 Today I woke up early as I had some special plans <3 I got ready and headed out to mom’s workplace to buy a cake and a single candle, then head out to Arty’s the Kobold’s house (Gonna just drop his name here now since the doodles are ending anyway ;n; ) who I had coordinated getting this cake with, then headed to Pixie’s house

Once there, I congratulated him on his birthday outside and gave him the cake. We didn’t have a chance to try it though as it was super early, and we had to start driving soon. So, Pix got ready and we then left to refuel my car, then have breakfast at the usual Burger King. Pixie was already getting stuffed with a single burger while I ate two croissant and egg sandwiches. Arty just got food from the Church’s next door

After this, I refilled my toll account and we set off south once again to meet up with Zee, our old friend and even longer friend for me. We traveled the usual long mountain roads then going downhill to the southern plains of the island until we got to the city’s mall we planned to meet it

I luckily found parking this time, we then walked inside, soon meeting up with Zee and all getting big hugs <3 We then walked around the mall, getting a bit lost as this mall was basically new to all of us and I barely remember it from last time I was there. Pix spotted a Hot Topic and we browsed a bit in there before leaving to walk around some more

We eventually sat down to chat for a bit at the food court, we also snacked a little bit and rehydrated. After this, we decided on leaving to an abandoned hotel somewhere in this city. I was very hesitant since the road was blocked off, but it seemed it was okay to just go there anyway. I parked outside the fence and was saw some workers leaving, they seemed to have been working on the seemingly abandoned hotel, maybe just removing graffiti and stuff

We walked inside though I felt a bit like we were trespassing even as the workers didn’t tell us anything. Once near the hotel though, we got stopped by someone who seemed sketchy at first, but it was a worker who wanted us to be careful is all. We then walked to the giant pool area to appreciate the view. Pix felt adventurous and explored a few rooms at the hotel’s basement which looked super sketchy, but everything turned out alright. We then decided to leave and nothing else happened, but it’s sad a place with such a pretty view got abandoned

Anyways, I then decided to take the guys somewhere very special to me. They didn’t know where until we got there.. But I was very heartbroken to see what the hurricane last year had done to it. This place was a pier for small boats and yachts, but it was sprawling with shops and people all the time. I remember being able to feed the fish and see them closely.. But the place was mostly blocked from access as the hurricane damaged most of the pier, so we could just see closed shops..

To make up for it, I decided we should walk to the beach nearby. I had been craving some salty ocean air anyway.. There we spent some fun and peaceful time, looking out to the ocean and admiring the view.. Or it was just me admiring more, not sure. Either way, Pix and I hugged there and kissed before we then left back to the car

We took a while to decide where to eat as Pixie didn’t wanted to eat at the usual fast foods we find everywhere. After a few minutes, we decided on a pizzeria nearby we didn’t know anything about

We got there pretty quickly and it looked really off.. It was a New York Style focused pizzeria. Zee ordered a buffet for himself, then Pixie and I got a calzone we would share. We then sat down to wait. Once we got it, we realized how massive it was considering the price! It even was supreme and came with two sodas!

Pix and I gorged on it even though our plastic forks and knives kept melting and twisting, but the actual calzone was absolutely delicious!! I love mushrooms so much!!!! We later both ended up full and packaged the rest to then leave and drop off Zee at the mall again as it was getting late

Once there, we hugged lots and said our goodbyes for now as we would see each other soon again. After this, we left back to our city, spotting yet another wildfire but the rest of the drive was just relaxing with the beautiful views.. This area is just so different from my usual forest and metropolitan views

We dropped off Arty, then drove to meet one of Pixie’s friends at their house. We spent half an hour just chatting then watching Pixie almost cry as he opened a Spyro Pop his friend got him. We both secretly talked about this too!

After this, we left home and promptly took his grandma’s car to the nearby mall to try and get something mom had told me to get but didn’t find it. We then left to Pixie’s dad’s restaurant. We took the usual road there, but it was dark out, so it was kinda creepy, but we made it safely. Then turned out his dad wasn’t there, but he still wished Pixie a happy birthday

We left back to the city and to Pixie’s friend’s house again, picked him up and left to a McDonald’s in the city to eat. After this we left home to watch a Doctor Who episode all together, though I was falling asleep while watching.. After this was done, we dropped off Pixie’s friend at their house again and headed home where we quickly kissed goodbye as we were both tired after so much happening today

I got home and realized I kept the candle from this morning in my pocket.. I felt so bad for forgetting and Pixie wanted to blow a candle. I felt devastated and felt like I soured his day just at the end but he assured me it’s a small thing.. But it’s hard to think otherwise and that thought will stay.. ;n;

I sat down to write the doodle and headed to bed. I was also freezing cold.. I hope to have time tomorrow to doodle aaa

Daily Doodle 191 – October 24, 2018

Day started lame with waiting hours in an office full of babies

But the day afterwards was super fun with cuddles, friends and late night memory browsing!

 Today I woke up to a nice morning message from Pixie <3 I then spent a bit of time in bed before Pixie called and I got up, managed to get out of bed but it was all cuz Pixie called.. Maybe he should call more often, hmm

Anyways, I then got on my PC until mom arrived. I had me some cereal and then had to rush to get ready to not arrive at my appointment late. It was this annual thing for my Medicare aaa

Once ready, I left to get a bank account statement at an ATM.. a sad number.. Then hurry and drive to the place. I had to park outside and pay at a parking meter as it was full, I then went inside where it was PACKED and sat down to wait.. I then realized I didn’t bring my headphones and there was a couple of crying babies.. Oh man..

An hour later, I left to move my car to the parking lot. The parking meter had run out and I almost got a ticket, phew! I also spotted a Miata inside the parking!

Anyways, I went inside again to wait another hour or so. I also saw as the place got fully crowded with baby strollers! So many they were almost blocking the room doors! Why were there so many babies!?!? I was later finally called, I did the whole thing, signing lots of papers, adult stuff is boring, then was ready to leave

I made it to Pixie’s school where I didn’t have to wait long as I had been at that appointment almost all day! Then left to his house while he dropped off a friend

We didn’t spent much time there as we then left to pick up his cousin at her school, then go home again before finally going to the usual Burger King to get food as we were both starving.. Me more than Pixie as I only ate cereal.. No protein!

After this, we left home to cuddle and watch some memes for a bit before leaving yet again to drop off his cousin at their house

It was nearing the afternoon and Pixie had plans to surprise a friend of his in an odd way. This friend was sick, so what Pixie did was take Wilson, tape a “Get well” message on the front and bring a Hot Pocket. We refueled the Miata and tried getting a “Get well soon” balloon but they were too expensive, so we left with what we had

Once there, we gave him the Hot Pocket and let him see the message to cheer him up a bit. It was odd, but it helped.. We’re weird friends to people

Anyways, it was rainy, and we left home carefully as we didn’t know how Wilson would react to that many puddles on the road. Once home, we spent a couple of hours just staying there in the room. We browsed some of my first doodles that I just let people find themselves as they were secretly done as a test. Then I watched Pixie draw until he laid down where we cuddled for some time

After this, we left again to get Pixie some McDonalds and refuel my car with what money I had left from what mom gave me for today since I wouldn’t have been able to even park for the appointment with what I had

We then spent an hour at Pixie’s house where I ate.. or TRIED to eat some steak that wasn’t so fresh, and it was a cut that was really hard. It was also medium well, but I don’t know if that contributed to it being so hard to eat.. I guess it was mostly it not being fresh, so I didn’t finish it.. Pixie’s dog did swallow big chunks of it though, geez that dog’s small too!!

We said our goodbyes, hugged and kissed before leaving. I made it home safe and settled down at my PC. I just wanted to write the doodle and head to bed, chat with Pix and sleep. He was too tired though, so he went so sleep before I could finish writing the doodle, which is fine

I managed to not get distracted with videos or much art this time around, tomorrow I’ll doodle and watch those video notifications that spammed me when I got home.. Then get back to commission work!! Woo!!
