RIP Sam Neill I don’t remember looking up to many actors as a kid, but Sam Neill was definitely an outlier. Even as an adult it was a joy to see him (usually) grump his was through his roles in Hunt For The Widerpeople, Rams and Event Horizon (among others).

I read through these this week: The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran and Ghost World by Daniel Clowe, also Moan by Junji Ito the week before. Reading has never been my strong suit, but I’m actually starting to enjoy it.

Today is my birthday. I don’t really like birthdays. The attention and baggage they can carry. But I think it’s important to acknowledge them regardless, because it’s an opportunity to appreciate life itself. To mull over everything I’m grateful for.

Anima (NR) / music - This Is How (feat. Augenmerk):

Thank you for the encouragement regarding the last song! I did record a few the others with the intention to pick out the best one, but now I feel I should just share everything. This is my newest song. It’s a bit wobbly in places but perfection was never the point.

Some of today’s figure studies (refs from Croquis Cafe). Since May I’ve really struggled to get back into the swing of drawing, but this last couple days has felt like a step in the right direction. Next is more fashion studies and then scenes. After that I want to start doing something more

Street fashion study:

Challenged myself to do x50 figure studies today, as I’ve felt really disconnected from drawing this week. Actually pretty happy with what I’ve done so far (a rare feeling indeed). I’ve more examples on my Patreon (www.patreon.com/posts/160815...). Refs: Croquis Cafe / @xainafairy.bsky.social

Portrait practice (references from Croquis Cafe):

One of last year’s figure studies (ref used). Music is Baby Fudge (feat. Pretzels Malone and MidiPunk) - something from many moons ago that I’m currently rebalancing for a rerelease (probably sounds awful after BlueSky’s compressed it to death):

Right, after a few weeks of barely drawing I’m going to aim to catch-up a bit. Really feeling a desire to change things up and move past the usual subjects that I fixate on, but for the next few days I’m back on no reference figure to get some of that confidence back. After that more mechs,
