Stayed up WAY too late working on this

After going through some rough years in animation and spending part of last year between jobs I shot my shot at the random backup plan I had in the back of my head for years - applying for JET - thinking I probably wouldn’t get in anyway. WELLP Now I have an interview. Universe is calling my bluff 😅

Got a good start on painting my kobold mask

My body while getting a tattoo: I feel literally nothing at all. My body after the tattoo: If you don’t eat a thousand calories right this instant you WILL pass out.

Today in absolute bureaucratic idiocy, according to the CRA I magically transformed into an albino person in 2025. That's right, folks, that's why they can't possibly pay me disability benefits before then. If you witnessed me as an albino person before 2025 you are clearly part of a mass delusion.

the Anime Horse Workout Playlist consists of Steel Ball Run for your strength and Make Debut for your cardio. I will not be taking further questions at this time.

There are two wolves inside of me, and they are both represented today in my day pack that includes riding gear and carrots as well as dice and magic cards.

The Grouse Grind is the most obnoxiously Vancouver thing ever. And by that I mean that Vancouver people took a thing that should be simple - hiking - and made it competitive, overhyped, crowded AND monetized (you have to pay the gondola to go back down)

Just wrapped up a really cute little commission for a friend of another friend as a Pokemon professor

Ive realized nothing scares me more than stories of people getting lost and dying in liminal spaces like stairwells, parking structures, hospital hallways, etc. Like it fills me with a visceral terror worse than stories of death in the wilderness or at sea. Id rather die in an extreme sport. Really.

Showing up at the gym with my phone screen visibly showing my playlist that’s all Umamusume and Jojo music 💪

I have now memorized the Japanese lyrics to Great Days from Jojo and this will be added to my list of karaoke go-tos because it's fun to sing >:)

Looking at an ad for a free fencing class a friend sent and my HEMA pilled ass is like... but that sword is so light and doesn't even have a blade and I don't even get to wrestle anyone :/

My local coffee shop just played Bad Apple wtf is going on

Dating apps are like having someone tell you to get into a vat of acid to help your skin, and then when you say it’s burning your skin off they say “well get out of that acid dummy” and so you get out and say “gods my skin is so damaged I need help” and then they “well have you tried this acid?”

Don't mind me, just drawing myself if I were a random extra in Zootopia... Wolf because that's the fursona I always had as a cringe teen, plus three different places I've lived have rare wolf subspecies, and white not because I'm trying to be extra unique but because I have albinism irl

Me working out in my 20s “time to put on my playlist of latest hits to try to stay up to date with music” Me working out in my 30s “Time for 100% power metal, sonic and final fantasy jams!!!!”

Happy New Year and year of the fire horse 🔥 May you charge into it with the fury and bravery needed for these times. Also I know it's not technically lunar new year yet, I just wanted to paint a cool fire horse okay

At some point I'll take a nicer photo of these guys, but I primed and painted all my fleas for a local art market, and will be selling these at local conventions in the coming year if I get the chance :)

Thinking about the seal/sea lion jokes in Zootopia 2 and they were silly but the whole time I worked my volunteer job at the aquarium I was constantly having to correct people. I became the pinniped ID police against my will. That joke hit unexpectedly well for me 😅

Unpacked my travel stuff, gave thank you gifts to my neighbors for pet sitting, picked up food and booze for a new years party tonight, and finished some freelance I needed to finish and sent that off. Feelin productive as heck and ready to take on the new year 💪

I am, once again, drawing yuri in the airport Shake Shack

Drawing yuri in the airport Shake Shack >:)

youtu.be/F-xJV9aHzIw?... this is the energy I want to bring into the next year.

A couple of really sweet pet memorial commissions I painted for the holidays this year 💖🩵

I really can't explain how Jojo's Bizarre Adventure turned into my stress relief show of choice but... here we are I guess.

It occurred to me that my taxidermy squirrel Jules Juniper, the Noble Outlaw, would be perfect in my Christmas tree

The Coral Tower in Silksong is honestly the worst and not in a fun-hard way, but in a "stop wasting my fucking time" way. Before anyone says "git gud" I did. I finished it. I hated that shit. I would rather do 18 more quests n Bilewater than ever see the Coral Tower again.

oops it's her again

God damn this art is hot

I'm just going to keep printing fleas and giving them to people because "giving my friends fleas" is very funny to me.

At some point my fiction reading tastes shifted from "I want Harry Potter" to "I want toxic gay space necromancers and space-faring super-intelligent spiders and people romancing eldritch horrors" and you know maybe that's what growing up really is 😆

Awooooo!

please enjoy this doodle of ice-type regional Poochyena I did for a random discord server discussion

I decided I really needed a physical 3D figure of one of the fleas from #silksong so I sculpted this little guy to print later

Mood

Lace (Silksong) and Muffet (Undertale) would hang out and be really toxic girlies together

Thinking about the First Sinner crawling up going “Blaaseeeffjdbcbfggh” and then promptly sewing a nice dress for herself before she fights you… what a queen

Is the JET application the skill-check boss for Japan bureaucracy?

I’ve been given a Bambu A1 printer for my birthday and I’ve gone mad with power

If the world building of Zootopia were consistent with their initial guidelines then that horse character I see in the ads would be a Taki. In this essay I will…

Don’t talk to me til I’ve had my Flea Brew

Real bug hours at work today

Look up a refractive index for a shader and go out of my way to NOT use the AI overview and instead go to a proper crunchy Geocities table full of IOR data as the gods intended 💪

As we find ourselves in a time where human creativity is so under attack and threatening to be drowned out I find myself really cherishing things like conventions, as silly and frivolous as they might seem. because theyre spaces where people genuinely celebrate real art and creativity

SHAAAA!! Finally finished up my Hornet costume for this Halloween ❤ I wonder if I can do sword progressions with my “needle” around my giant head…. #silksong #hornet #cosplay

Heading to my last volunteering shift at the aquarium before I head back to full time work on Monday It’s been so nice doing this… I’ll miss it. Take care, Nigel, keep yelling your truths, Bella, and keep being a fabulous guy Señor Cinco <3

Getting ready to SHAAA all over the place this Halloween

This is the most perfect creature on earth.
