Guess I'll post some art. A while back I announced I was doing a manga based off one of my fanfics, but given my energy level I don't think it will get finished. I'm working to at least finish what I already have. Here's one of the more finished pages from Big Brother.

This burnout thing has been going on for 3 years now, and it only seems to be getting worse. It's stupid how much time and energy it takes for me to even write to someone.

I sat here for over 10 minutes trying to think of something that doesn't sound like moaning. I tried this morning too before giving up. Anhedonia sucks, and autistic burnout is worse. I'm exhausted; It's like my brain has switched off.

I've been wanting to draw Ultra Ego Vegeta as Thanos since Squid Game Season 2 concluded. With that shared manic energy, purple hair, and ear cuff? I mean, come on. 😄 ...Also the actor's rap band was called "BigBang". ❤️

Another version of the animated werewolf painting. Same prompt, but I took the painting into Clip Studio first and gave it a 16:9 aspect ratio. Zoomed in a bit in DaVinci Resolve and added sound (some of the same sounds from the Dragon Ball one I did but with a dog thrown in). Watch your volume.

Used one of my digital paintings for this Ai animation.

I forgot how far this one werewolf went back. The first was a random pen sketch. Later I did a digital painting of it as a pre-plan for an acrylic painting. The 3rd is a 36x24 acrylic painting. Years later I took the photo of it into Photoshop and turned it back into a digital painting.

Feel like sharing more animations. This is a clip from a crude animation/drawing timelapse I put together on Photoshop - and it's about werewolves, of course! 😀 Full video here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEOY...

Ai animation of my digital painting "Transition".

I call this one "Transition" (Photoshop painting, 2022). Did an Ai animation of it and was going to post it next to the original, but I can't I guess so I'll do that in a separate post.

I love drawing me some buff Saiyan princes, but emaciated, faceless ghosts are an enduring forte.

I added sound! The Demon Oozaru is a tiger, a grizzly, an alligator, and a horse (I dinked around with the pitches a bit). Of course there are also explosions and fire. Mind your volume, btw. An Ai animation of one the drawings I did for my fanfic "Touketsu".

I finally tried it. I used Ai to animate one of my drawings. The Demon Oozaru's tail gets wonky, and my prompt caused him to burst into flames, but it looked like it could be ki with some editing. I took it into DaVinci Resolve and applied a sloppy tracking mask to change the color of the fire.

Reflecting. The Burning Bridge was my favorite fanfic to write. It reminds me of Christmas. It's when I was wrapping it up, but the Slavic references also make me think of family and holidays. Near the end, I realized one of my OC's was my mom. I miss her. Holiday baking hasn't been as fun since.

Come and sit on this Santa's lap 😏 I hope you've all been naughty 🥰

When dad says it's your turn to play with the tamagami #dragonballdaima

This is how I felt after battling through the last minute Christmas shop traffic. I'm not leaving the house if I can avoid it, not even for the gym. I'll work out at home, thanks.

I drew a demonic aspect of Vegeta called Touketsu Vegeta back in 2006, and a few years ago featured him in a couple fanfics: "Touketsu" and its sequel "The Burning Bridge". I thought he looked a bit like Krampus, so I was inspired to do this. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! 🎄

CORRECTION: In my last post I said I've been reviewing fanfics since 2020. I've been reviewing since 2000. Did I mention I'm old and my brain isn't working so great anymore?

I'm a hypocrite. I made a post encouraging people to comment on others writing and art, but I barely do it myself anymore. Since 2020 up until a couple years ago I reviewed every fanfic, every chapter. I slowly did less and less, because it takes so long for me to formulate my thoughts now.

My sister is working on a new pfp for me, she’s practicing at the moment as she’s never drawn him before but I adore her art style. #Vegeta

"Unbound". Painted this in 2006, oils on canvas board (not a great photo, I know). There are a few I did that look similar - the figures all have hair that turns to yellow flame. I didn't intend it, but I see now that I DEFINITELY subconsciously channeled a Super Saiyan.

For many years I've tried to keep the original art separate from the fanart, but I've always ultimately failed. It's too overwhelming to keep separate personas, and I need simplicity. I'd be a crap super hero (...or Iron Man). I'm going to post my original art here along with my fan stuff.

Anyone out there have so much to say that the moment you attempt to say anything you say nothing at all? Yeah, me too.

Whether it's original work written by a pro or simply fanfiction, readers PLEASE review! Comment, give feedback, constructive criticism, ENGAGE! We are far too disconnected anymore. Knowing what a person loves about one's work is food for a creator's soul!

It was a comic by @renaikari.bsky.social that reminded me that the great Chris Sabat, voice of Vegeta, also voices Zoro of One Piece. I love mashups and crossovers, so this happened. 😄

One of the few (of many) sketches that I decided to develop. Certainly could have spent more time on it, but it was nice to finish something quickly for once. 18 year old Vegeta after a day at the office. I call this one "Stargazing".

After the big X exodus I haven't felt any drive to rebuild. I'm not pushing any brand or whatever, so it's not priority. My creativity is in the shitter. So, I'm just going to post old shit here. I'm starting over, and it's the holidays. You've heard of Elf on the Shelf? Get ready for...

Finally published a little fanfiction after a long break. Dragon Ball Super one shot. Beerus considers his successor. archiveofourown.org/works/60993835

I've...kinda had it with this modern lifestyle. Everything is so fast paced and overwhelming, there is no time to process anything meaningful. And so much of this info flying at me is empty. I'm getting drunk and baking bread and pie. Still fooling with the art, but it's taking a backseat.

Guess I should post something. I call this one "Burnout".
