This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

Bless Brandon Sanderson for writing men who cry

I love that Kaladin is stoic, serious, and moody but his first appearance in a book is always from someone else’s perspective and HE IS SO DRAMATIC I adore this about him

Trashboat and I have been playing enough games on the TV that he decided to get a new gaming tv ✨

It’s that time of year I’m breaking out the heated blanket 🔥

The Outer Wilds DLC really proving how much of a coward I am 😭😂

My heart goes out to all of those grieving silently What is grief but love persevering

Despite my bad handwriting, I enjoy writing analog I’ve recently taken up journaling and it’s been fun having an excuse to just physically write Taking notes for DnD is also the highlight of my week

Normalize this reaction #art #artists

Cried 3 times today thinking about Outer Wilds What a beautiful game and impactful game

I finished Outer Wilds and that game is a work of art That game is one of kind and such a unique and beautiful experience You can feel the passion and dedication in the creation of that game and I cannot recommend it enough

Going to the library has become a fun 3rd place to visit I don’t interact with them much, but seeing the kindness my librarians show to my community is very uplifting

I'm making my own monthly reflection assessment charts. I want to start being more intentional with my life and seeing where I'm putting my time and energy will help I made a patreon for easy download so other people can use it too! It's free for all to use! www.patreon.com/posts/142508...

🎃Happy Halloween🎃 Trashboat’s family has a tradition of having a grilled cheese bar and painting a pumpkin It’s quickly becoming my favorite tradition (I of course paint a moth every year)

Trashboat and I are getting close to the end of Outer Wilds and we’re finally getting stuck with the last few things to discover They really don’t hand anything solutions to you, you gotta figure it out yourself

Can’t wait to finish Outer Wilds on Friday with Trashboat What a game. It’s a truly unique experience. I see why it will never be overwhelmingly popular, but those that take the time to enjoy it will remember it forever #outwilds

Last year was the year of Robin Hobb This year is the year of Brandon Sanderson At some point I’ll actually have to listen to Tolkien In the meantime, anyone have any ridiculously long fantasy series recommendations?

Been thinking about the knights radiant oath of Journey before Destination As an artist I also interpret it as Process before Product That’s why I hate AI art so much. It puts the product before the process #stormlightarchive

Current WIP Had to draw some rain spren for this spooky and rainy time of year Also, will probably change the background. Not really satisfied with it

I’ve been playing Outer Wilds with Trashboat and my friend and holy cow what a game I’m not done yet but it’s a very interesting game and a very unique experience

If anyone needs proof of my eclectic brain process this is how I create color palettes for myself

Our feature artist/tutorial for today is this WONDERFUL & ESSENTIAL page on the placement of BODY FAT on figures by the talented @marinscos! REAL BODY SHAPE VARIETY is a part of what makes us all beautiful, and that should be reflected in our art. I LOVE this. #ART #anime #ARTIST

Mornings can be rough for trauma survivors, especially if we struggle w/ sleep. They often lead us into work days where our nervous system expects to feel trapped, controlled, &/or in trouble. Crafting a recovery supporting morning routine can be an underrated recovery priority.

It’s been perfect Autumn weather lately 🍂 I don’t love the shrinking daylight but the day I am given is perfect

My best advice to try to get a handle on shit right now? Make something. Don't care what. Don't care if it's good. Don't care if it's just a big ass house you made in Sims 4, just lose yourself in something for an hour or so. It' s like flushing the brain toilet.

ATTENTION! Chris here: Down to the wire. About to lose our storage and home. If we can last a couple more months here I can move us to an apt that is far more affordable/avoid sleeping in the car. Im going to open a new digital bundle tier for $105 which gets you everything in the shop plus bonuses.

We want art with heart and sweat and blood put into it. We want to feel the love of every single story that inspired a piece in its DNA not through some rancid algorithms compressing them into a mock immitation of them. We are participating in a sacred call and response that stretches across time.

"No Turning Back." The Three Tomes Indie Animatic Pilot is here. Time for witches, magic books and vampire romance. The pilot animatic premieres TODAY on YouTube @ 12pm PST www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fXF... #indieanimation #thethreetomes

I think Brandon Sanderson has an interesting take on divinity in Storm Light Archives I think he breaks religion down in a very secular way but keeps the essence of all the inspiring and heals parts By doing so I think he makes spirituality more accessible to a broader audience

Literally me this past year

If you want to support people who support artists check out Asa's games!

I’ve started journaling recently. It’s something I’ve always wanted to get into I bought Yoshi Yoshitani’s tarot deck because I loved the art Decided finally to start using it for journaling exercises

Was listening to Edgedancer and they mentioned The Surgeon, The Assassin, The Liar, and The High Prince That would be such a cool beginning to a tarot style series Has anyone done that? I’d love to see what people have created

please watch movies and read books and play games and look at art, please view it with your own eyes through a lens you made yourself and not just through video essayists and ending explained videos please im begging you

I tend to strive for perfection, but achieve nothing Been thinking about shifting mentalities towards completion Completion Over Perfection It doesn’t have to be perfect, just done

Don’t mind me, just throwing all my favorite things into a single drawing #art

🌑Happy New Moon everyone🌑 What has been your favorite way to relax lately? I’ve been enjoying Hades 2 myself recently 😌

I’m trying out Libro.FM It’s the audible alternative that also supports one of your local bookstores I’m excited and hope it’s a good platform

Almost done with Words of Radiance I listen to audiobooks but I do think it would be fun to get physical copies and take notes on this series I think it would be a fun project

I can already feel The Seasonal Sadness sinking in 🙃 Trying to take it in as part of the cycle and season for rest (as nature intended)

The witch aesthetic is beyond on point in Hades 2 👌🏻

I really hope that Brandon Sanderson addresses the difference between personal trauma and systemic trauma and issues. Because right now they keep on being thrown around with the same weight and they are really not the same.

I so desperately want to talk to someone about Words of Radiance and a very interesting take I have on it I’m convincing my usual friends to read it but they haven’t started yet and I don’t want to say spoilers but I also so desperately want to talk about it!!! 😩

RIP Drew Struzan - a man whose talent and imagination etched onto so many minds throughout the last 40+ years. His art & posters are some of the first visuals I think of when I think about cinema - an invitation to watch these stories and worlds. A massive loss 💔

Beauty was out there, all around. To create art was not to capture it, but to participate in it Brandon Sanderson, Words of Radiance

“To be human is to seek beauty” Words of Radiance really hitting hard tonight

Reminder that your local library is an awesome resource I have a hard time doing any form of cognitive work of at home It’s why I could never do homework at *home* Now if I need to get work done of any kind I just go to my library

It would need some touching up, but I think my equinox work holds up without the lineart as well
