it's hard to be patient with myself. i want to draw draw draw and put out art as much as i used to. but im tired so often. i feel so rusty working on commissions.

A gift for @itsthebeanie.bsky.social, one of my incredible discord moderators! They requested something with critters and something spaced themed, so it naturally followed that I had to draw space raccoons ✨

Oh no

Husk has been on hiatus for a while, but Zylix still has birthdays.

KOG IS GREENLIT! Since this was shown in the trailer/ad for the artbook it felt safe to share. This was drawn in '24, early dev, the first time it really felt me, Zach, and JBO understood Frankie, Andi, and the show's tone. I still look at this drawing and think, oh yeah. That's #knightsofguinevere.

I am having a loud mind

Still has a nightmare anyway Cool great wonderful 👍

The art advice i will always die on, is to never compare your art journey with others, and lower the perfectionism of "how it should look". Experiment, make "scuffed" backgrounds or character concepts, make uneven lines, keep it in a messy sketch phase, use references, play with shapes, etc.

Also finally got to sleep in my own bed for the first time in 3 months… nope, back to the floor for me, alternating heat and ice for this damn injury.

Remembered it was Hourly Comic Day yesterday, and I’ve got notes jotted down… only problem is I woke up yesterday with my shoulder pain flare up. I’m up this morning for the same reason. Back to heat/ice.

Honestly been considering how to incorporate more effective shortcuts to Husk when I am able to resume. Drawing does take the most time, tbh… maybe if I let myself leave my lines looser. 🤔 By the end of Issue 2 I had already reduced my palette, and I really liked it.

You too can avoid a lot of online drama by following the easy steps of the Kory System: - huh - what happened - who’s doing what now - oh god this sounds exhausting - I’m so sorry I’m not trying to be oblivious I just have no idea what’s going on most of the time this all seems very stressful

I cannot waaaaait~!! 💞💞 I’m so excited for my alt cover copy!! 🥰

Critics want subtlety. Traumatized kids need clarity. Stranger Things doesn't win because it's subtle. It wins because it's not afraid to say the truth out loud to the people who need to hear it most. www.kameronhurley.com/we-are-the-s...

This is so amazing and makes me wish I wasn’t so burned out so I could get back on the comic horse again.

*witty admission of utter resignation*

Leave it to my son to decide the best time to headbutt me is when I am yawning so that his whole face fits into my whole face. Braincell count is negative numbers

My response to anything over the next two weeks

Works in progress and abandoned projects included. 🫶🏼

Oh okay this video just did a Mortal Kombat Fatality on me

With a good portion of insulation and flooring gone, and being unable to run the heater, we’re lucky to still have this trusty old tv- she keeps a room at a cozy temp. 🥲✌️

No lie was thinking about this show on my way to work this morning 👀

This is my favorite thing now

i just keep getting bad news, and i haven't felt up to drawing anything with much effort for awhile now. I'm really sorry if you follow me to see art, and I've just been talking about video games and financial struggles. I will try my best to get a grip lol

Dead battery day

Why is my Q4 always hellish? Always. Always always. I'm drowning.

Less than $400 away from funding Etheres: Deluxe Edition! We've got 3 days left to reach our goal and we'd appreciate your help spreading the word about our project! @dennismenheere.bsky.social www.kickstarter.com/projects/den...

A realization that I had a few years ago is that most current day creatives you admire are probably working multiple jobs, and if they're lucky all of those jobs are creative, but many aren't. Give yourself slack as you make ends meet, but also we all need to fight for better pay together.

youtu.be/_9bNoaUDCQQ?... It’s taken me two whole days to finally recall the name of the song that I’m reminded of whenever I hear the mandolin riff at the beginning of this one. R.E.M.’s Losing My Religon I can finally get some sleep now ✌️

"it takes me a week to make a piece :(" i want u to know that is a normal amount of time. fuck it, take even longer if u need to

youtu.be/K5Yhx8_3XL0?... This is what I get for drinking tea in the afternoon

Getting some art done for myself. Feels weird.

Caffeine is broken. My system is a stunt pilot that stalled, tumbled and recovered at the last second. But instead of regaining altitude I’m skimming the tarmac. Weeeeee

Meh

Why isn’t the caffeine working

His month

Pyaari is so decent 🥺

Bonfires are more fun when your soul is on the line. #artjamolantern

I heard we were drawing our characters carving pumpkins. So here’s Luka (Lwca) Llewellyn experiencing his first Calan Gaeaf with the Sayers. 🧵

God I am still shocked at just how intense burnout can be.

The house smells of butter and cheese and I’m here three weeks out from labs. I’ve been riding the apathy to stay on track, but the temptation to say ‘fuqqit’ is putting up a fight. Just three more weeks to go. We’ll see if it was worth it.
