The Closer You Get To Light, The Greater Your Shadow Becomes.

A bit late, but here’s Inktober Day 13: “Guarded”

*slides this over*

Hey, everyone! I’m back again, this time with some new sharpie-on-black drawings that I’ve been making. This first one here is a lotus, inspired by a saying I heard about how the lotuses, despite having to grow through muck in a pond, still always bloom beautifully in the end; they persevere, despite all odds.

Funny Portal 2 Moments w/ an Animatic Webcam

While editing some gameplay footage for what I thought would be a storytime video, I realized how many fails and ridiculous clips I had stored up in the foot...

Hey! While I was editing together playthrough footage for a sort of “storytime” video, I realized how many ridiculous fails I had stored up in the recording, so I decided to make a video compiling all of those sad (but hilarious) moments together, cause why not! Plus, I included an animatic webcam in there too so you can see my reactions!

This is an undertale drawing I did for @ni-coleh! It's a concept drawing replacing frisk with her. I loved making it, please leave your feedback!

This couldn't have been put any better

Bo Burnham in the livestream

I was very happy to hear Jack talk about Bo Burnham in such detail during the stream. After hearing him talk about him so fondly, I went back and listened to “Can’t Handle This” again. I remember watching “Make Happy” for the first time last summer and I remember crying at the end as well, and I wasn’t really sure why at the time. After going back to it, I cried again. And this time I think I know why. Jack mentioned the lyric where he says “A part of me loves you, part of me hates you. Part of me needs you, part of me fears you”, and I really resonate with that. I don’t have the kind of audience that Bo or Jack or any other well known person has, but I’m still a creator in my own right. And to me, that line talks about what it means to put your work out into the world for others, to be loved, hated, and judged by either everyone or no one. If that makes sense. And at the end of the day, our work is all that we have. And we struggle to find a happy medium where our work and, in turn, ourselves are validated. And that’s something a lot of people struggle with, or at least I know I do. And too much recognition, on either end, can be scary. That kind of thing has the potential to eat away at a person’s happiness. “… Laugh as he attempts to give you what he cannot give himself”. A lot of the time, we need other people to validate us, so I understand where this is coming from too. And then in “Are You Happy”, where he says, “On a scale from 1 to 0, are you happy? ‘Cuz you’re on your own from here so are you happy?” That’s what really fucking gets me. At this time in my life, where I’m living away from home with nothing but my work, it’s easy for me to become too consumed in what I’m doing. And if it’s all I have and I put all my stake in it and nothing comes of it, will I still be happy having tried? That’s a loaded fucking question, but it really gets me thinking… Anyway, I was glad it got discussed in the livestream. Thanks for bringing it up @therealjacksepticeye. Glad I got to revisit it and think about some things. For now I guess I’ll do some more of my work and eat cookies.
