I think I finally have a rough idea for a panel layout for the scene in my head that I want to capture. I'm not a manga artist or anything, but I think it's decent enough. It will be fully colored and probably made into a type of Swirled Abstract. It's bound to be interesting.

it's all fun and games!! try it sometime!

Day 8: Plant I wonder who remembers Phantom Brave #PKArtober2025

Often I wish Phantom Brave and PB: TLH were more popular! 😭🥴😮‍💨 Maybe a little selfishly motivated as it would mean better information access and guides to help me with prepping for post-game content. I'm scared of burning out like I did with the first game.

Still loving Phantom Brave TLH atm, but after 74.5 hrs, I'm starting to feel a little burned out from the grind - and I haven't even beaten the first play through! There's all the DLC and NG+ still to do. I'm going to have to re-strategize if I'm going to avoid full burn out.

Day 2 of figuring out how to make this hand-me-down tablet work. Made some adjustments to the outfit. Thankfully, I'm on Thanksgiving break, so I had time to play 3 hours of PBTLH and redraw the first design, but better. I feel a lot better about this second attempt.

The concept stage has begun for the Bao x PBTLH mash up. Slightly redesigned her new Rockstar outfit with Mer Diva in mind. The outfit might not be it, but I do like the hairstyle. Please pardon the sketchy lines. I'm using my brother's old HK13Pro and it's not very good

Over 50 hours in on Phantom Brave: The Lost Hero, and I'm starting to think of a Swirled Abstract. I'm starting to get that itch to make art again. Would anyone be interested in a Phantom Brave Swirled Abstract? The original or the sequel.

There is nothing quite as gut wrenching as an artist to lose all your progress on your current project 😭 Today, my laptop decided to not work, had to reinstall Windows and lost all my local data. Good thing I had most of my stuff on my hard drive, so I didn't lose everything!

Have you ever been afraid of messing up something you started because halfway done, it just looked too good? I finished the pencil sketch of SA 94 and I'm afraid of messing it up by continuing! I've been sitting on it for a week now...

Can you believe it? 10 more Swirled Abstracts and I'll have done a total of 100 unique Swirled Abstracts!!! That's going to be such a grand milestone for me. I can scarcely imagine how to make it special, especially after doing the stained glass aesthetic for SA 90!

3 Swirled Abstracts in 3 days is a big deal for me! I don't know if I'll ever be this productive again. Maybe it's going back to my roots and doing traditional SA's with Prismacolor. Maybe it's having someone inspire and encourage me. I don't know, but I'm feeling grateful.

Who knew I would wake up, play video games, take the dogs for a walk, then sit down to do art and end up picking an old (2019) HK OC to make a new artwork of

Looks like I went back to traditional for the time being (since I lost my drawing pen). It was fun being able to crank out an SA in about 4 hours

Aghhh!!! I lost my drawing pen for my zenbook flip! 😱 Well, that puts a wrench in my ability to create art... I don't know what I'm going to do. I want to make more art! Maybe I'll go back to my roots and do Prismacolor on sketchbook pages. I just don't know if I have the time.

Update WIP - Proof that I am in fact alive and actively working on art! Honestly, I wasn't convinced of that until now, so yeah!

It's starting to look like I may be back at the start of my art phase! I saw Tingyun/Fugue while playing Honkai Star Rail and just felt inspired by her "new" design (new to me at least). I'm feeling the need to make new art! Honestly, it's been too long. I missed this feeling

I have SA 83 done, but it was a Christmas gift and I chickened out 😮‍💨 I'm still going to give it (hopefully today) and THEN I'll post the SA 😅 It's a good one, I think you'll like it

I hope you like my caricature SAs because I have one ready to be posted tomorrow and another idea ready to be sketched! I'm excited! They are always deeply personal to me and these upcoming two have symbolism interwoven into them to make them even more special

I've been a busy bee working on a Squirrel with a Gun SA while making 3 Pre-Swirls (82, 83 & 85 [not shown; it's a Yoshi one]; 81 is a collab with DaYo). I may not be slowing down as I have two ideas for a Lost in Random SA (84).

I don't usually reccomend games, but Lost in Random has been fantastic. I was initially drawn in by the comparison to Tim Burton's works and stayed for the story and unique combat system. I may even make a Swirled Abstract of it- even if it will tank. I love it that much!

Maybe I should've posted the poll here or something similar. Idk. At least worth a try to post here about the poll Surely, I can do better than a single vote, right? Right?... x.com/DaeStorm7/st... Maybe some tags would help #SwordArtOnline #HonkaiStarRail #DragonBallSuper

If this isn't proof that I'm back. I don't know what is. Used an RNG to pick one of my pre-swirls and picked this one I was wondering why games had lost their luster. My soul needed to create art again!
