Gentle reminder that often creativity decides to hibernate for a bit.
It’s okay. You’re not broken, you’re resting, and much like spring, creativity comes back.

the problem with being creative is that you start to feel very guilty when you haven’t created anything in a while

Wrote 3300 brand new words for the story. Miracles really do happen!
A small miracle has happened tonight. I started writing again!
Granted I'm working on the No Jedi Allowed AU rather than the main story, but after such a long drought I'm just happy to be making progress on ANY story!
Might have another chapter of that ready soon.
Might have some snippets to share, if anyone wants to see some sneak peaks.
#lately most of my 'writing' has been rereading already written things and thinking about possible story things.#so getting new words on a page. and lots of new words! is super exciting!!#au related

It's been eighty-four years...
I realized it's been months and months since i last posted anything over here. Figured it might be good to send a sign of life out.
I wish I had some news to share with y'all on the story-front. I'm just... I'm stuck on a transition chapter from one arc of the story to the next and I've been stuck for like 2 years now it feel like. And I've been debating just doing a really messy/lazy transition summary so I can get past this part I'm stuck on and move forward to what I already have planned out and a good portion of written. but another part of me knows that there's Important Story Things happening in this transitioning chapter and I don't want to just gloss over them.
Anyways. How have y'all been? Had a good year so far?
#also doesn't help that real life has been low key kicking my butt#and my muses have been incredibly difficult to catch for so. so many projects

when you haven't written for a while and you're intimidated by the project Looming in front of you, you feel like those baby otters that are learning how to swim at the zoo, crying and screaming the whole time despite being perfectly adapted to doing this activity,

This fandom is not being horny enough for Doctor Royce "if sexy why hot?!" Hemlock and I am So Disappointed 😞
I get that everyone is in mourning but I am eyeballs deep in Denial and apparently he is the distraction my brain has latched onto!
Gonna make me have to write the fic I want to read in the fandom that is insstiably horny over every evil character. Gotta do everything myself around here I guess. 😂
#not story related#star wars#the bad batch#i mean. i get it. there's tons of other characters for folks to also be horny about#but in the fandom that so often embraces 'if evil why hot!' there is so little about him so far

Quick PSA, if you get one of those "Work scanned, AI use detected" comments on AO3, just mark them as spam.
Some moron apparently built a bot to annoy or prank hundreds of authors.
There is no scanning process, your work doesn't actually resemble AI writing, it's all bullshit. Mark the comment as spam (on AO3, not the email notification you got about the comment!) and don't let it get to you.

Very in denial about certain parts of TBB season 2.
But one thing that has moved into my head uninvited.
I think I kinda ship Dr. Hemlock and Dr. Karr.
Only in the most toxic ways.
They're both horrible and they deserve each other.
They both think they're manipulating the other using sex.
Absolutely nobody wins in a relationship like that.
-10/10 bad relationship. Would still be a ton of fun to read tho.
Very much a case of "If evil why hot??"
#not story related#star wars#the bad batch#the bad batch spoilers#i don't think there's any fic for it. but if there is y'all gotta send me links#if i think about this then i don't think about anything else from the finale 🥲

Can you give me any tips on how to draw Kenobi's beard? I need to improve my facial hair skill's. Love your art, the light and shadow play you haw going, is straight up insane.
So I tried typing up an explanation but I don't think it was very helpful, so I ended up making a step-by-step of how I personally draw Obi-Wan's beard!
But yeah, always draw the base face underneath and build on top of that!
Also, note that my own art style is very stylized, very "manga." It's a good idea to look at how different artists draw facial hair in a variety of styles to get inspiration for how you want to draw!
And most importantly, as with all art, practice. There are lotsa different beards out there, and even Obi-Wan himself has different beards. Even within live action, Ep 2 beard is closer to his face, Ep 3 is more puffed out (what I drew here), Obi-Wan show is even bigger! Mix in how angular his beard is in TCW animated, the variety of takes across the tons of comics he appears in...there's really no wrong way to draw it, just preference! And this goes not just for Obi-Wan, but any character—and not just beards, but every feature! So you just gotta draw lots to figure out not just what you think looks right, but the kind of beards you like to draw! I'm definitely still working on it myself!
Anyway, I hope this very quick step-by-step (I hesitate to call it a tutorial) was helpful! And thanks for liking my art!
Also, here's a bonus Young Obi-Wan + Mature Obi-Wan comparison:

PLEASE DO NOT REPOST, EDIT, TRANSLATE, OR OTHERWISE USE MY ART. To share, please reblog! Reblogs and comments greatly appreciated!!!
❀ You can see the rest of my art through the Masterpost pinned to the top of my blog!
#don't get me wrong. i love bearded Obi-Wan. but seeing him with his baby face is also such a delight#makes me miss working on Shades feat. baby face obi-wan.#life needs to get less hectic for me so i can write again 😭#not story related
