So, I Made A Bit Of Progress On The First Comic Page, And I Made A Little Bit Of Progress On The Logo

I actually finished the Apollo CD design portion of my own personal project that I mentioned back when I posted the Artemis half of the project.

Of course, I’ve made Apollonian gaskets central to the design of this particular set...as well as the sun, because Apollo is a sun god.

I have learned that watching Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure all over again when you already know the exact flow of the story yields some interesting tidbits—particularly, bits of dialogue and animation are really beautiful examples of foreshadowing, and I’m just like “Ah! That’s so cool!”

Unfortunately, me and my spoiler hound attitude has screwed up one of my roommates. The other one is new to Jojo, and I have to reign in the first roommate so that the second one isn’t spoiled when he doesn’t want to be, and it’s weird to be vaguely told “well, I got used to you being ok with spoilers!”, and it’s like...

...ay, even spoiler hounds gotta have manners around others who aren’t.

I am sickeningly happy with this selfie and want to share it on everything. (Probably because getting a proper haircut is good.)

(Also, that’s my roommate’s cat. He’s great.)

Here's an after-work selfie that absolutely no one asked for! Also, yes, I do have a day job. Sometimes it's why I come home and then don't do any art or design. Not always, but sometimes.

So, the kitsune death god I’ve been meaning to draw has been mostly speedpainted in the past 3 hours. I need to work on some contrast stuff, rendering that scythe, and deciding on the left hand, but...eh. Still pretty cool

Also, I have a 5-minute Milhouse doodle for no reason other than being asked.

It’s not even a good Milhouse doodle, pssh.

I’m at the point where I never want to work with this color combo ever again.

I fiddled around with my car's radio a few months ago while I had Woodkid's "The Golden Age" album in the CD player. This was a nice image, so I fiddled around with it in Photoshop Express. It's a nice little pick me up these days.

I decided to design business cards and a logo for my roommate’s corgi, because she’s absolutely precious, and I keep taking so many photos of that adorable corg that my roommate and I agreed to make her an Instagram and help run it in my spare time...because my design work doesn’t need to be clogged up by Truffles 24/7. (You can actually follow that corgi dog over here!)

While we haven’t bothered to print the cards yet (because Truffles the corgi isn’t popular enough to warrant printing business cards in the near future), I do have a print ready Adobe Illustrator file on hand for the event that her business cards ever get printed.

For now, I’m just going to keep the mockup version of her cards on hand. (BTW, I used a modified version of this mockup. After all, edge painted cards are a real thing, and that was something I modified myself.)

I decided to finish (mostly) an old Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer doodle I had in the depths of my computer a long time ago—but with it being explicit that Rudolph just has issues with allergies and sinusitis. His nose glows because he’s miserable. (I mean, why else would his nose glow red?)

Any way, happy holidays. :D

Things I should have done in the past 12 hours; sleep.

Things I did in the past 12 hours; worked on something that’s still not done, but oh boy, do I really like fiddling around with halftones to make a minimalistic a e s t h e t i c design composition I wanted to do for a while.

Also, this has been my jam for this. No lie.
