Oh yeah, mentally especially. Garth was working 12hr shifts 4 on 4 off, but by the end of the comics it's essentially 12hr shifts every day, and Simon joining in on that too. Burnt out boys.

Even if this comic goes nowhere, the amount of mental PEACE having this universe to explore is unmatched. I'd been having some tough days as of late, but the GROUNDING this world has given me?? Yeah escaping into my work, but when I emerge things are more stable with me? NESH means so much to me.

I won't go quiet into the night, I'll rage against the dying light. I won't bow to the universe, I can break its curse, And build us something new. I long to fall into the sun, It can't just be with anyone, It's got to be with you.

A precious girl for an equally precious friend!

I kinda always thought that stories were written in order, like how with a painting you have to do things in stages otherwise other bits don't work out. Writing the script for NESH I realise NOPE haha, me jumping right into the scenes I know are fleshed out NOW and then sorting the rest out later.

time for a simon appreciation post.

Taking offers on these three! Cash or art ✨ I have no more events they're likely to sell at planned so I can't spare them the space. Reply with art examples if you're interested in trading!

just realised that this commission I'm working on might be technically classed as vore?? Is it??? Would be a first for me anyway. I dunnno lmao I'm just drawing monsters and teeth and some other unfortunate soul getting absolutely destroyed haha. [shrugs]

time for a simon appreciation post.

I never shared this doodle I did a little while ago. Gotta do a follow up with Garth's first time being 'backpack'. When I was buying my helmet I had to have helmets ordered in special because my brain is so STREAMLINED I have an XS head lmao. Smooth brains are more aerodynamic anyway.

wait are OCs just imaginary friends for grown-ups?

Is Garth more Honda Grom energy, or Honda square (they look AMAZING??)? Or classic Royal Enfield??? ALL OF THE ABOVE. He's not getting a moto in canon, sorry Garth. BUT AU with Simon, silly squids.

Garth - Wake about 04:30, shower, get ready, bits of chores, quick drink of somet wet, set off on the bike, get to work before 06:00. Simon - Wake at about 07:00/08:00 depending on work location, shower, slow ease into the day, coffee and breaky, doom scroll, get to work before 09:00 if remote.

thinkin of running a discount on comms for human/humanoid art? hmmmmm???

working on a comic commission has absolutely solidified to me that i DO NOT want to be wasting my energy arsing around with backgrounds and perspective. i need to learn that blender stuff pronto.

Wheee, look at him go. Nice to see him cheery for once. I started this a few days ago and finished it today as a treat because I FINISHED THE TIMELINE FOR MY STORY. Yep, after all these years I finally have a story, start to finish sorted. Now I just need to thumbnail & script it then we can START!

A precious girl for an equally precious friend!

a'ight, next week ya boi is gonna learn to make 3D models. I say, I'm manifesting my motivation. I need to make 3D locations/scenes to draw on top of it for my comics. And they don't have blender for Ipads, so guess I'm fishing out my old wacom bamboo! (if my laptop can RUN it, it's... slow)

Garth's said some pretty bad/rude shit in the past but this is the worst he's got in physical evidence (my notebook), mainly because it was said to Simon haha.

Last night's doodle! Hopefully finish it up today. I'm?? Wondering... Has anyone used Blender's Grease Pencil to make backgrounds for comics? I'm wondering whether I can paint it like my usual art but then it's 3D and I can just paste it into my comics? Is that a thing? It feels very clever??

No. Not officially anyway. There's a few pieces where they do but canon wise, they're stuck in their universe and unaware of being watched haha. But -I- can break the 4th wall. I am omnipresent in my creations, huehuehuehue.

someone pat me on the back I actually drew simon on his bike.

FREAK-OUT! (slots open now! - ko-fi.com/c/adc23134d1)

Garth used to keep rats, but man they are stressful and heart-breaking. He doesn't feel up to looking after an animal at the moment, besides his long shifts wouldn't be fair to them either. His houseplants are fine enough. He's considered millipedes though.

Wheee, look at him go. Nice to see him cheery for once. I started this a few days ago and finished it today as a treat because I FINISHED THE TIMELINE FOR MY STORY.

My brain's completely fried from the madness of what this week brought me (all good stuff), looking forward to getting on with work next week. Commissions OPEN! - ko-fi.com/sketchbuck/c... (also, I'm going to do free backgrounds on all large illustrations for a little while, saving £50-£70!)

peace love gay

man organising this comic is the biggest headache haha. BUT I figured out more stuff today. Intro, SORTED. I MAY thumbnail it... but first I want to work on the story more. I think I could nail it tomorrow if I work hard. The overview, not the script. That's scene by scene, that's WAY more work haha

[magnets this to the fridge that is bsky] In this house we don't see any spelling mistakes. anything you read here that you didn't expect?? happy to elaborate, you know I'm always giddy to talk about OCs, esp Garth.

what people think my comic's vibe will be like. vs the actual vibes of the comic. Sorry, it's not a nice story. I should start tagging canon pieces.

It helps if you’ve nabbed the right guy for the interrogation… poor Garth has no idea what’s going on. Man, I need to get started on this comic, it’s gonna be awful for everyone sorry. /positive (hahaha)

Post a gif of who you really wanted to be as a kid

fangirling my own comic, cringe is dead I couldn't give one haha. I've got a keyring coming with a phrase on it from my story, for my bike. 'see ya later SPACEMAN'. What's this arc in my own story where -I'm- the motorbiker??
