So, I Only Worked A Couple More Hours On The Hands Up Top, But I’d Say It’s Vague Progress.

This is basically where I’ve ended my first Saturday Twitch stream at, minus a few minor tweaks.

I’m pretty happy with those hands, personally. :’D I’ve liked drawing hands for years, though, so getting to focus on them once again is really, really fun.

I’m thinking of holding another stream tomorrow because I also want to see THIS cover thing done, as well as the logo for this entire comic/comic series I’m slowly working on in my spare time.

Also, because I mentioned this guy’s in the Twitch stream earlier today without realizing that I never properly introduced him, this character is not “Vaporwave Trash Child” (as I’m now nicknaming the character on the cover page), I was explaining who on earth the small dude by the door of the first page I’m working on is, and it might not be easy to see a tiny layer label in a Twitch stream, ...I will also show a character design thingy I did a while ago for the small dude by the door on the first page I drew.

I also wrote @plaguenurse‘s comment of “10/10 elf” on there, because I felt like it.

I may also have to fix dem eyebrows, because his eyebrows really shouldn’t be solid if I was planning on him being some shade of blonde.

So, I’ve decided to work on the roughs for an old comic project I’ve wanted to do for years, and @plaguenurse did a remix with the baby being punched today.

It’s very dark humor, and it’s like…it makes me feel bad, but it’s also hilarious, and it’s just one of those things where I don’t know how to respond to it.

So, I’m working on a new page—lots of hands, I’ve noticed. Also, spending a bunch of time drawing rocks was kinda fun. But yeah, this is a wip.

I’m almost done with the coloring for the main character of the webcomic I wanna work on (specifically, how he appears on the intro “cover” page)—but then I realized that I was using the exact same colors as the Jazz Dixie Cup for some components of rendering, and then I kinda devolved this into something that would fit in a bad vaporwave YouTube video.

For real though, this made me happy. I enjoy making jokey stuff with my own work sometimes. It relieves stress.

...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.

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.

In Love with Love, 2018

I’ve finally decided to finish this stupid thing after keeping it on hold for about five years—and loving someone not for the person, but because you desperately want to be loved seems like such a terrible thing to make an illustration about, but I finally finished it.

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

It’s finally InkTober, and I ended up going peak millennial with the Day 1 prompt of “Ring” for some reason—probably because I was waiting on the Chinese food I order and I was really hungry for dinner.

Anyway, have this peak 2010s onion ring and banner thing.
