Hello, I apologize for pestering! I was wondering if you would ever do/be open to commissions at all? Thanks for your time and I hope you’re well!

Hello! No, not anytime soon, thank you for the interest though <3

#my drawings do not feel like a good “product” to me #that's not a negative thing entirely really but #unprofessional

stars when you shine, you know how i feel

a close-up of his mug, unblasted by colors and lighting and stuff. it was surprisingly difficult to color his fur in a way i liked

#cats the musical #the rum tum tugger #my art #illustration #digital art #eyestrain #<- potentially #ok time to ramble #did you know that john partridge did a cover of feeling good #i died watching it i think #also the bare leg + garter belt wasnt my idea theres a production that just made him look like that and i was like #well i cant NOT draw him gayer . who do you take me for #gold lashes and lil heart are taken from il sistina iliterally love it awww so cayoot #also dont look too hard at this drawing #detailed for some parts of it and sloppy as hell for others #case in point the lineart for the face vs the lineart for the legs #a tragedy really ! but i wanted to post an art and my tablet was crying for me to stop working on the canvas #so messy lineart it is #OH ALSO HE HAS LIPSTICK #the toms deserve lipstick so much. its true

Just a heads up, I might open commissions soon since I'll need extra budget for the next month! I know I still have a backlog of ko-fi doodles I need to work on but I'll try my best to do them alongside the comms 😤💪💪💪

#i wasn't able to do much of the doodles bc of art block this past few weeks 😔#tbh I feel like my current workspace is draining so I feel like having a portable device to use for art might help me to be more productive #been thinking of saving up for a tablet so I could work anywhere & anytime i wanted to #I see a lot of ppl use ipad + procreate but apple products are super expensive sooo i'll probably just go for a samsung tab #i've heard the s series work well for drawing? like s6 / s7?#tho I just might go for s9 fe instead since that's the newer version #if you guys have any recommendations abt what tab is good for drawing (that's also budget friendly) pleeeease let me know #i'd really appreciate it!! tysm ;w;#bam blabs

#I know antidepressants will still leave u with high and low days but idk even then my energy and productivity levels #havent been the same as they were last year or the year before that. before i got on them #so is it not an issue with mental health? wtf is it then 😭#im getting less comms now which is good bc i used to do 30 chibis per month #but now it takes me twice as long to do em bc my energy is so low.#so in making less money bc i dont have enough time to take More....#i dont knowwwwww. whats happened to me....#talkys #its also not even just work burn out...ive also felt the ''loss of interest in things u enjoy'' not just with drawing but with #journaling which ive done consistently for a few years now #i still make myself do it for memory keeping but it feels like a chore. i dont like that. it doesnt feel right #*also clarifying less comms is a good thing i raised prices so id get less!#im saying its bad bc youd think getting less wld leave me with more time for. more comms or literally anything else. but no.#my doctor always says med dosage is up to me like dude idk. im stupid. and scared

Insomnia is letting up off and on, but I'm still super jelly brained from it case in point, I want to continue back with posting WIPs for the aired pages, but I can't remember what page I left off on now lmao (guess I'll have to dig through my blog to check... eesh. at least it's decently organized by tags?) Not a result of goo brain, really, but equally "AUGH" is that I let my screen protector go for too long without replacing it and now it's slick as snot and I don't have a replacement handy to put on it. This isn't a resulting consequence of goo brain but it does mean I'm going to be trying to draw without any traction while I'm already loopy. Good times ahead!

#shut up pu #I"ve had problems with insomnia my whole life so I'm sadly used to this #it comes and it goes #and right now it's in the middle of a big angry come #what do you mean that wording is atrocious??#it gets the point across #ordered a new screen for the draw slab so I've at least been proactive in fixing the problem #the only other problem is I hate drawing on brand new fresh screens too lol bad finger feel #only the middle screen is good for both fingies and pens #anyway the parts of chapter 3 I really love are coming up over the horizon #part of me does wish I would have tweaked the pacing of chapter 3 a little when realizing the usual posting schedule wasn't going to work #after real life delays all butted into production time bc chapter 3 was still paced for the 2 - 3 pages a week schedule #reading it all at once it still carries that pacing but I do feel a bit bad about the way it has felt at once a week #very occasionally twice lol #but I'm just a stickler for pacing so it bothers me personally probably more than it bothers literally anyone #knowing what it's meant to feel like on the proper release schedule vs. the slower release schedule is largely my own problem #and I'm feeling that extra hard right now because I'm having to do prep work for designing and asseting a new set #which saves a huge amount of time in the long run but slows things down in the immediate now #aka: I want to draw characters and story wahhh why am I making set pieces #also hey where the fuck's that stupid fox at he's even in the story synopsis write up where is he #get in the story proper you piece of shit #hello I am sleep deprived and rambling about comic production how are you doing

How’s life? No pressure question ofc, but if you want to share please feel free to do so with this ask :3

Eh, it doesn't feel all that great right now. I'm tired and hungry a lot, but I just have to get a routine together. My sleep has been wonky, I've been waking up too early, but I feel fine then but it also feels like I can't rest completely- I have dreamless nights mostly. And I also just get annoyed a lot, but it feels better being around people I like.

#my father is upset today too cause I couldn't hang out with him #I talked to a social worker at school a few days ago just for check in and in my opinion I still feel bad even talking to her #it's been a rough week and I'm not sure what to do except deal with it and move on #I like to draw still #I dont want to get tired of it #I mean at least I'm doing productive things like laundry and showering #I'm gonna have spaghetti today that's a good thing #I'll have clean sheets for my bed that's good too #I got presents a day earlier and that's good #I like listing the positives #It kinda gives me ideas for writing #I really wanna eat all these positive things i mean the feeling it gives me in itself #I really love the good things I don't ever want to lose them #I'm actually gonna try to make a doll bunny today #I got dug up old fabrics in my room so I can experiment with something new #I'd list more good things but I'd sound kinda weird doing that in the tags #I should probably journal again but my mind blanks when I try but I'll figure it out #I mean poetry and fanfiction is always an outlet #I gotta practice that more often #There still a ways to go in life so obviously it'll change eventually it always does #And it's only one of many weeks so I can't be too doubtful #It can't always be the worst #Feeling the same feels awful #No matter the emotion it kinda turns numb if you feel it long enough #Days are always changing though since everybody is doing different things everyday all the time #Like most say 'it gets better' eventually #I guess I can wait for a good day #I have no choice sooo I'll let whatever happen #Well technically I can make it happen #I'll feel better when I made myself dinner and cleaned my bed and put away my laundry and put on fuzzy socks and go to sleep

Genuinely so sad because I wish I could just draw and write again

#we knew the good (productive) times couldn't last forever.#i used to be able to write 11k without a break. doing all-nighters i was so into it. used to be able to draw multiple sketches a day.#now i just feel totally drained and flat. bled dry. where's the excitement in drawing and writing anymore?#i just need to graduate. i need to finish this life chapter and do OTHER things.#it's hard to keep drawing/writing on a dying website for a dying fandom #thinking about trying to write something original because of my specific interests #y'know how at a certain point it starts to sound less like fan fiction and more just original.#there might be a chance i'm very depressed. like no longer in the mopey edgy teenage way #but in the long-term quiet withdrawn flat and emotionally dead way.#wdym i'm 26 and have done basically nothing? wdym i'm a 26 year old woman?? i'll be 30 soon??#idk what would fix me. i'm doing what i can.#fuck i miss writing my dumb queer quartet mysteries

Another batch or Mr. Puzzles quick sketches. I kept forgetting to draw his side pocket in the last couple ones. Random character featured in the little comic-ish Live Interview is some version of doodlesona. Can’t guarantee the dialogue will be believable/sound in character for Puzzles because honestly I’m still working on understanding his talking style and when he sarcastically jokes around or when he chooses to be serious and drop performance act. But in the off chance you wanna read it goes from left to right with reading

#GUYS it’s so hard drawing a character who uses his hands to communicate 24/7 jksjsksp PLEASE #my brain doesn’t know what pose to put him at any given time because he keeps SWITCHING inbetween words #he’s so animated and that’s why I love him so much expression and emotion in display #but I don’t like drawing hands at any given time if I can avoid it so screw him jskjso #the last two pages I think I’ve started to get a hang of how his expressions operate #still need to see if I can pull off the full range in my own style tho #and yes I inserted my silly doodle sona in the interview segment hello wazzup lol #although it’s very much a caricature because in reality I have no issues being on film. Been doing that since I was a toddler it’s natural #was even in a production class in high school operating camera equipment like I honestly love it #speaking of that art…still trying my best to figure out how his dialogue is meant to sound?#like I’ve always struggled with writing character dialogue I’m unfamiliar with the style of #thing is I’m good at acting the part if you give me a script to follow and example of tone inflections #but writing it from scratch is a whole nother struggle #so I’m sorry if it doesn’t feel on point I’ll try to get better at analyzing his speech patterns #honestly think I made it too formal sounding here? Or jumbled in some parts because I was stumped on how he’d translate thoughts to words #still fun interaction tho!#like I think he’d try his best to drop a few moments of empathy and try to get someone with anxiety to feel comfortable #but he’s also got the ratings to worry about and can’t afford it being ruined by someone’s anxiety hiccup #so kinda treading the line of being compassionate and giving advice to calm them v.s impatience to get the show rolling #or something idk still trying to analyze him and how he reacts to given circumstances #can you tell I think way too deeply about all this trivial stuff?#doodles #sketches

god it's so nice to be doing art again

#🔪.text #i know i keep saying this but #god.#it really really is #and i'm ENJOYING it #which i know i already rambled about that but #for a while art had become something that just felt like a chore #something i HAD to do #and a lot of times i would get frustrated #i'd spend forever on this one section and never feel satisfied #even when the art was good i would end up not liking it #not because i thought the art itself was bad #but because it didn't turn out the way i wanted it to or because it was so frustrating to do that i just couldn't enjoy the final product #i'm not feeling any of that now #i'm just feeling happiness and excitement #art is actually bringing me pleasure again. it's fun for me again #and tbh i'm feeling a little emotional about it #i am back to how my relationship with art used to be as a kid #it was Fun #i think i'm going to try to go to how i was back then and just draw whatever #not wait for some idea #just. hey i wanna draw this character. so i'm gonna draw them doing whatever #it doesn't matter. i'm just drawing them because i want to. there doesn't have to be any other purpose #i miss how often i used to draw and how i used to just draw random things #i want to go back to that.#because that is where i found joy in art #obviously i won't be drawing THAT much because of my wrists #but the point still stands that i want to draw more in general #i don't need to draw big pieces every time #i can just doodle them if i want to

i don’t know where to find other people who were disappointed in Geekish Celibacy Advocates Gotta Go to commiserate with. don’t wanna clog up the main tag with negativity because people just browsing abojt a musical they like don’t need that. but holy shit was this show a letdown for me and i cant find one other comment or review anywhere that acknowledges Any flaws :(

edit: censored the name of the show and didn’t tag @ all w/ the show’s name, but this’ll still pop up in searches for starkid and the effort required to edit tags on tumblr is INSANE, so i’m adding Starkid Negativity to the front of the post for blocking purposes of anypony doesn’t want this in their search!
