Coworker just sent me a bunch of youtube videos about the FAFSA to play on the big TV in my room during the student lunches but didn't know how to get them all to play and I was immediately like do not worry I will figure it out so after several minutes of trial and error in powerpoint I Did get a looping powerpoint that autoplays the videos because I'm the smartest bitch to ever do it
#its really simple and most of the trial and error was getting the stupid slides to auto transition correctly#but i fucking did it#proud of myself for someone who hasnt touched a powerpoint since college#so like 2018 ish#anyway this is what being an adult is like

Lineup of all of the characters that appear long enough to need a visual representation of them in the game lol
#I added a few people that you can randomly run into around town (like at the inn or in the forest or etc) and have very short conversations#with just to kind of flesh out the world a little more in a more natural-ish seeming way. Like nobody in the main cast would really#have much reason to talk about the actual city you're in or anything. Since most of them havent lived there that long anyway.#But if there's a ''city inspector'' that you can run into whilst he's writing up notes examining the local inn. then maybe there could be a#few dialogue options with him where you can ask about things like that. since he would know more about the area as an offical Government#Worker or etc. Optional of course. since I have to be so wary of my natural inclination to lore dump lol and am trying extra hard to make i#all stuff thats easily avoided/skipped. But for the people like ME who deliberately choose to exhaust every possible optional dialogue#option and explore every single inch of the world and try to collect as much information as possible - then there are a few extra places to#do that. Though obviously not all of them just give exposition for like 15 paragraphs blandly. Some you don't really learn anything from#and it's kind of just.. random flavor to make the non-shop map locations more ''lived in'' feeling. Like the random#little girl you can talk to in the park doesn't bizarrely start reading out the wikipedia description of some War that happened 10 years ag#or whatever. she's just complains about school a little and asks if you've tried the nearby ice cream cart treats and etc lol#ANYWAY..#some of the art is so so evil but I'm not going to spend 800 years trying to clean it up and update it. whatever the hell mess I sketched#out in 2018 or whatever is just what I'm keeping lol... it is what it is#One of the many trials of the whole 'briefly work a few months on something and then abandon it almost entirely only to pick up work#on it literally like 4 - 5 yrs later and now you must contend with trying to decipher whatever weird shit you did years ago' experience lol#Also given the population breakdowns of the world in general I think there's an unrealistic amount of jhevona in this lineup since#they're a much rarer species to just see out and about anywhere but.. it IS a global trading center type area. and the game#takes place in the north (the country of Asen. near the coast. for the maybe 2 or less people who actually keep up with my worldbuilding#enough to know where that is lol (the same continent as Navyete (where the avirre'thel live)) and there's a decent concentration#of nothern jhevona only a short ways away so... tee hee..I shall pretend it makes sense and not merely me just wanting#to represent more of that species because I think their lore is interesting lol#I MEAN also realistically there would NOT be a human here because humans are extremely isolated species that don't even know the rest#of the world exists really and human territories are extremely protected from the outside world but... of course it's like.. well we need#at least One of them to be there for the Optional Lore. Same with the Ythrili. But at least those are like.. PLAUSIBLE.. not nonsensically#outlandish. If I had a Verrucalt or something in there THEN that would be truly lore-breaking almost lol#ANYWAY.. rambling that only means anything to me because nobody else knows what I'm even referencing but hbjh#also I think my character designs are so funny in the sense that I really do just love to do the same thing over and over again ghbjh#wow... random asymmetry and belts and arm straps and high collars where the neck is completely covered?? you dont say..how novel

Tagged by @arendaes on this fairy doll maker. I've skipped the last few of these doll makers because I just do not tend to have the kind of really high femme character in play that works on them without feeling really uncanny to me, but I figured I'd give this one an attempt and see how well I could recreate my BG1/2 character's old 2018 design (doodled on scrap paper at work here with a sad attempt at shitty wizard dart).
Not too far off...?
Not tagging folks on this one- forgive me, I'm just not sure who's best for something so specific ^^;; If you want to do it etc.
#if you look at ismene's frilly little outfit and think 'hey emi isn't there another frilly little outfit you draw like that'#the answer is yes. it's recycled from hers. the balthazar blue coat designed in 2021 takes elements of 2018 ismene's silhouette.#oddly ismene's adventuring outfit is more frilly than her civilian clothing#there's some draping and train stuff going on there that couldn't be adapted to the road lmao.#because ismene is such an old character who has had so few iterations I'd like to revisit her design in the future#I'm no longer satisfied with some elements and I think others could be more specific-ish. get fancier with that rapunzel hair.#tag game#ismene#picrews and doll makers#emi art#I guess. lol.#doodles

i can't believe it only just occurred to me i could like. draw my own phone background. i've had a phone for five years and only just realized this. why am i so slow
as soon as i'm not dying of an infected head i am so gonna doodle me some nykitty phone background
#i live under a rock and first used a touchscreen in like 2016-2018-ish#it was a shattered tablet dug out of a tweaker's trash and i was like KEEPSIES#and then my grandmama gave me a phone in 2019 and before that i'd only had a couple pay-as-u-go for emergencies that I failed to understand#i've used cropped nykitties as my backgrounds before but like it only just clicked that i can make a nykitty JUST for my phone!!!#so i can have my lil app icons not obstructing her#because i need maximum nykitty exposure#ny says#or is it six years. or four. i cannot count.#what year is this.

aaaahhhh spotify is evil :/ (not really….but still)
#fuck fuck fuck I just had a horrid realization aaaahhh#okay so my brother has always inquired into what music I listen to on my own#but ummmm that’s private so no lol#but idk music just feels private and my family is very judgmental of pop-ish music and my music taste edges that way a bit so yeah#but around like 2018 when I first got spotify…. I didn’t know that playlists were public unless you privated them#and my brother STALKED MY SPOTIFY#but i’m just now really learning about this??#bc I recently told him about a funny song that I found around that time and recently rediscovered#and he was like ‘oh I know that song- I saw it on your spotify before you privated all your playlists’#and I had a mini fucking heart attack bc#and umm I found that song when I was also in the midst of a very gay and very hayley kiyoko filled music phase#and yeahhh I just relooked at my old playlists and the ones with that song had soooooooo many obviously gay songs and nooooooooo#like its on playlist with songs like “girls like girls” “she” “pretty girl” and those are just the obvious ones#also on there is a song called “aromantic’’ lol and ‘never been in love’#hathtag- oriented aroace lmao#2018 was intense lmao#umm anyways#and#like they’re private now but aaahhhhh#he didn’t mention those songs so idk but aaaaaahhhhh I hate it whyyyyyy#apparently I am just desperate to avoid *conversations* lol#bc yeah#I hate conversations ™ aaaaahhh#I shall never bring it up and he’s nice enough to not mention it but also aaaahhhhhh#this was literally 5 years ago why am I reacting lol#ignore me im not fully awake#anyways#grace is dramatic#go to sleep grace#spotify is evil

#extremely annoyed by lotros more recent (like 2018 ish onward) of having the pc referred to with they/them when npcs are talking about them#i know you know my characters gender game#i know you can tell#its just lazy#if they wanted those pronouns as an option they could have added an additional gender option to new races#/humans after the overhaul#but they didnt#someone didnt want to paste in the code to detect the pcs gender and adjust the dialogue accordingly and it is so fucking lazy#and disrespectful

Working on some designs for one of my oldest OCs, “Cure” (Patreon)
I also managed to track down some of her initial concept sketches from 2018 - why 2018 considering I called her one of my oldest OCs?
Well, her design has always been rather elusive, even more so since she spent so much time in my head without being brought to paper - even these sketches make mention of it!
Pretty sure she got “Cure” in 2018 too - starting to take form!
#Doodles#Original#The quotes are very intentional lol#As stated under the cut I started designing her in 2018 but she's existed since around 2007-ish? Latest would be 2010#Part of her having such a range of uncertainty is that it took me many many years to consider putting her to paper!#She might've existed in 2007 but there's no record! She might've existed in 2010 but no record! I don't think I even wrote about her#She was a completely mentally-extant OC for many many many years#Partially because at the time I had just started drawing and knew I wouldn't be able to put down what was in my head to physicality#And then the longer she stayed in my head the more she became that kind of mental kaleidoscope ever-shifting impossible-to-draw design#But screw that! I have a few years of doodling under my belt now! Even if I can't get her quite right I can at least make an attempt!#It's especially funny because outwardly she is meant to be a pretty generic teddy bear lol - not Exactly but more like the vibe of one#Round and plush and innocent - innocuous#And really she's not like Nefarious or anything lol - she's not what she seems but she also is?? It's hard to explain lol#A lot of it does still come down to subtleties so it actually is still hard to capture but it'll only keep getting harder the longer I wait!#So at least pinning down Some things about her design that I'm happy with and can refer to helps the me down the line haha#The first one is actually pretty close! It's always a coin flip on whether the first one is a disaster or nails it haha#The heart ears and straight body are pretty good tho I gotta say#And honestly it was the little lace-ribbon bracelet that was the deciding factor for me to try drawing her again haha#I had an idea I thought was silly but to do it I needed a design to work with!#Getting there getting there - every little bit closer

isn’t it strange how we always talk about how changkyun lost his round cheeks and became chiseled and stuff and we’re all sad over the loss but we NEVER talk about the loss of shownu’s bread cheeks?????
#its so DRASTIC ACTUALLY#especially when u compare recent (post enlistment) pics of him to their debut-2018 ish era#he used to have to roundest fullest cheeks :((((#for reference please refer to the bread shownu thread#now they barely pop when he smiles like :]#i want my bread shownu back :((((#idec about abs tbh....#niki screaming into the void

another tragedy of losing my old account is that I also lost all the drafts I saved to use later like a list of new vegas mods I wanted to try lol
#but also why the fuck did I use my drafts for that I had Hundreds of drafts#it was so annoying to go through to find one specific post#and I'd also have the same post saved as a draft like 5 times#anyway if anyone knows any good new vegas mods let me know#but only if they're new mods that came out after 2018#last time I played new vegas was 2018-ish so I'm aware of the mods that were around at that time

#Looking at my childhood art like i was a TERRIBLE artist even by child standards#No wonder my dad was so angry when i decided to try to make art work rather than get a comfy software engineering job#Like child me was DETERMINED to do this i thought it was a given there was no way i wasnt going to be an artist#Pretty much from the age of 4 when i saw beauty and the beast for the first time#But looking back at it as an adult like...i get it#I can see why my dad watched me draw these shitty weird cartoons as a kid and worried that i was going to fail miserably lol#He was partially right :/#My art is still shit but i keep at it like...like one of those whack a moles#Or the punching bag thing that gets hit and flips right back up#Did i mention i saw my dad briefly on my way up here#He's so disappointed in me i can just see it in how he talks to me or looks at me#But for fucks sake even when i was doing EVERYTHING right and getting my computer science degree and graduating with straight A's#He STill didnt want anything to do with me so its not much of a fucking change#I did notice he asked if i had heard from jordan#And no i dont keep tabs with my brother much#But i was shocked that dad hadn't heard from him in years because last time i saw my dad 2018 ish jordan was the golden child#He was the one who was finally steering his life in the right direction and studying programming#(not at my level but he's a boy so its fine)#And getting a programming job and shit#I guess that golden child status didnt last long kind of like my own lmao#Journal shit#Anyway tldr im feeling real shitty about my art right now \o/

The evil slow creep of it being like "haha these will just be quick little side quests, not much effort at all!" and then noticing each one is getting progressively longer than the last, thus no longer being minimal effort.. auGh....
#The jump of 76 for the first one to 275 for the most recent ghghjb#what can I say.. I am.. The Elaborator.. The Detail Giver..#number six will HAVE to be shorter....!!!!!! !!!!#I fear it's going to look this way but opposite with some of the main character quests. The first character I ever worked on. like their#first quest I added wayy to much information and detail and side options and etc.#Once I got done with all their stuff I was like.... if they're all like this I will NEVER finish.. So then I tried to be very short about#it all. EVERY single interaction cannot have 10 branching dialogue and 5 different endings and blah blah blah.. as much as I wish it could.#Hiring a butler to stand over me all day shouting ''NARROW the scope!!!! REDUCE the options!!! CUT the dialogue!!!'' whilst I sob#and hit backspace on everything once every five minutes#But that means probably the first character I worked on will be very obvious because their quests might have a different#feel than the others and be longer.. I just CAN'T make ALL of them that long. but maybe I could choose one..#Like out of the four characters that will have full quests for them upon release.. maybe I can add another one thats long so at least#TWO of them have weirdly long quests and the one first character doesnt seem so singled out lol#I hear this happens in real life professional games as well (like people complaining that X character doesnt have as much#content in an RPG as some other one does. etc.) so.. perhaps my fears about everyting not being exactlyliterally equal#are not even that worrisome or something that's a major factor. Still lol#It's not really that concerning to me anyways from a 'how will people react to it' perspective (very niche game. hardly anyone#will play it i'd assume. its not like thousands of people shall desscend upon me to criticize even if something was weird like that.#it'd be like. out of the 25 people who ever play it. maybe one of them is like 'yeah it was kinda weird that thosequests were so much#longer than the others. but idk' and that's the extent lol). My concern is more like.. Writing time..#the more I add. the longer it takes for me to finish. So if I keep ednlessly making things forever longer and longer. then it becomes The#Forever Project. which it kind of already is. considering I started it in 2018 and then forgot about it for the most part of 5 years and am#only resuming it now LOL.. I cannot bear to add MORE forever onto that which already is quite Forever-ish#If I wrote everything the ideal way I wish it were then I would either need a full team of writers. or I would finish the game in 2085#so.. alas.. cut cut snip snip..#ANYWAY lol
