Anyone else make an Artstation account only to get like a flood of weird, scam emails asking about purchasing pieces (but never stating which one and being specific, only vague) OR asking about "wEdDing illuStratIons". Like that one specifically comes up so much, bad spelling and grammar and all. And the emails are always the same in "johndoe3675" or "janedoe2547".

When you finish a commission and they only tell you afterwards "oh hey can you adjust XYZ? Yeah I know that you've been sending me updates on it every day and I could have said something sooner."

Quick 2.5 hour Jak. I have so many ideas and not enough time in the day. 🤣 I like the idea that the dark eco did such a number on him over the months that come the time he got to Spargus he was pretty fucked up looking, and the light eco only halted the progression but couldn’t undo everything.

Wherein I’ve been having thoughts about Asterion being arranged to marry Theseus by Minos in exchange for no more tributes and Asterion’s dietary restrictions becoming someone else’s problem. His sisters are definitely handling it well.

Art vs the Artist 2024

Dumb Facts About the Artist:

I quite like the taste of Kraft cheese and Oscar Meyer baloney.

Not a better grilled cheese than Wonderbread with Kraft cheese.

Espresso martini is my favorite mixed drink.

If my socks get wet because there’s water on the floor I can and will make it everyone else’s problem.

I wrecked my drawing arm doing push-ups.

My piercings that I received with a shitty piercing gun are still fine. My piercings that I received in a piercing parlor with proper needles and everything had to be removed eventually.

I received a certification in pastry arts and now don’t really enjoy baking or cooking anymore unless I’m giving the food away.

Gonna slowly write a more in-depth explanation of what school was like, what we did each year, etc, but the long and the short of it is:

Was art school worth it? Probably not.

The doors I was told it would open it did not, and I couldn’t even get a job painting basic backdrops for a community theater just up the street. Worse, I even had experience with painting backdrops from high school and college. Didn't matter. I didn't get a job in my field till 2021, and I had graduated in 2017. The whole bloody school wouldn't shut up about how their students had jobs right out of the gate. It was naive of myself and my parents to believe that was true, I agree, but my being slightly out of touch with how things ran is a whole other story.

Is it worth it to go to a smaller, lower population college vs a bigger, higher population college? NO.

If you're able to go to a school with more than a few hundred students, do it. The intimacy isn't worth it, the better one-on-one with teachers isn't worth it (and I say this as someone who, while at school, still hadn't been diagnosed yet with autism and ADHD and had some struggles). If my folks had a bad break-up on their campus, it was easy to just steer clear of the ex. It was easy to steer clear of weird, former roommates who left a bad vibe. At a small school everyone will know if there's a beef between two students. You will not have privacy. Get together with someone? Everyone knows. Have a falling out? Everyone knows. It's like being in high school all over again.

Art School

Debating going in-depth about my experiences and whether or not I think it was worth it in the end, buuuuut I also don't wanna be shouting to the void either.

Hey I wanted to know if that Jak x wip you posted before is based off of a fic or if it's just something you came up with. Love your art btw❤

Morning! ☕ And thank you! ♥️

Nah, no fic inspiration. It mainly stemmed from wanting to see Jak in some of the concept art from X where he's got longer hair and different outfits (I'm not terribly fond of the design they went with for X).

I also love visual indications of change/damage being used in games (like Subnautica and the illness progression) so figured it be very fitting that every few cutscenes or with each city progression you see more and more signs of the poison taking effect (throwing up, dark veins, fever, etc). The idea came from uni when a classmate was presenting something and moving her arms about, and our professor stopped her in her tracks to ask to see her arm--sure enough she had signs of blood poisoning and had no idea that's what it was (her rabbit had bitten her. She's better, got seen by a doc and graduated with us as uni concluded). So using blood poisoning as inspiration I added the creeping veins on his arms and face to show it's eating him alive.

At some point I'll finish all the gross bathroom walls once I get some commissions done and have slightly less on my docket. Was thinking of making this into a postcard print. 🤔

Started my own one man book club in which I read books and force friends and family to hear about it. Current books in rotation are the Illiad because Epic got me in a mood for Greek tragedies and it's been about 9 years since I've read it in it's entirety, and A Court of Thorns and Roses because Instagram has done nothing but send me videos of people making fun of it and now I gotta know how justifiable or not the mockery is.

Like l love monster romance, I loved Ensnared so much I got the physical copy of it, not just Kindle, and I'm so excited for the spin off series, so I'm trying to go in with the the "it's monster romance Lite™ probably mindset" buuuttt we'll see how long that holds up. So far it's been a copy of Beauty and the Beast in terms of story. Like a lot. Sorry not sorry I'm taking y'all on this ride too.

EDIT: I'll tag everything with "Woelfin's Book Club" in case no one wants to hear my drivel and would prefer to block the tag.
