During The Time That I’ve Been Overwhelmed With Coursework And Work To Pay The Bills, I Forgot That

I appreciate this advice...also, I think this puts yet another bullet point under "Let's establish some boundaries at work and shut off availability on at least Tuesday".

Maybe more streaming would be in order as well.

I’ve noticed that I’m quite abysmal at keeping up drawing whenever I have a new partner in my life.

I love art and design, but I’m absolutely infatuated with my bae, and it’s conflicting. because I don’t know how to balance both loves at the same time, as well as my day job.

I don’t know what to do with myself at the time, and advice would be lovely.

...I think the lesson of today is “Anger spurs me to make a lot of angry typography...and regular typography in general.”

I’ve kind of been on a roll today. I’m extremely upset today because of personal reasons, but I’ve been on a roll in terms of making things.

I’m normally not one to use YELLOW for anything ever, but I felt like it today. Eh.

Taking a break on comic making to work on a crime drama novel for NaNoWriMo feels strange, but there’s only so much I can do in a single day, so eh.

I’ll hopefully bang out this novel quickly and then get back to comic making..and I’ll probably make a book design this month as a result.

The first panel is almost done! That said, aiming to the hatching look vaguely like medieval woodcuts is not as easy as I was hoping it would be, so it seems like this might be another one of those time-sink pages. :/

Today I learned that Corel Painter has a new edition out now, Adobe Flash is now Adobe Animate, and that Toon Boom Studio is no longer available for commercial purchase.

I’ve been caught off guard with these developments. I’m disappointed and surprised.

I’ve decided to force myself to open up Photoshop again by taking a bunch of photos in unrealistic positions and make some glitch art out of it.

Now I should probably do actual work instead of being a dork with my own selfies.

Have a goofy, transparent Sonic the Hedgehog.

It was something I wanted to do for Dumb Running Sonic, but never got to. I still haven’t gotten to animating the poor guy, either.

Also, it was inspired a bit by Ren and Stimpy. There may be an accompanying Tails in the near future. (So far, he kinda looks creepy more than gooby, so I don’t know how I feel about my Tails prototype.)

@freackthejester I’m sure he’d appreciate it, although I might want to do that sparingly.

I used up some spare chalk and charcoal for the sidewalk in front of my apartment's staircase. . . . . . #halloween #happyhalloween #skull #chalk #charcoal #chalkart #sidewalkart #halloweendecor #halloweendecoration (at Orlando, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4S-g0ODKKC/?igshid=ahmomsuyaw3g

I came up with this a while ago while I was passively listening to a design professor that I’ve had in the past.

Specifically, it started out as a cell-phone doodle, because I have a tendency of pulling up a memo app and doodling whenever I’m upset for some reason. From there, I actually decided to make it in Illustrator, because I could.

I finally decided to finish it today. Also, considering that Age of Ultron is fresh in my memory by a week or so, and Bruce Banner is great, I went with Hulk-inspired colors.
