I'm trying to remember what I did this past month while battling a bad headache. I know I rewatched Arcane. It’s a fantastic show and one that I felt like I needed to watch again to fully grasp the details of. It made me more emotional the second time 😭 Also a fantastic soundtrack that I’ve been listening to a lot. It’s better when you have the emotional impact or action of the show...
I've decided I'm going to focus on positive things for this month's update. So first I have some art! I made fanart for I Was a Teenage Exocolonist. It started in December 2023 when someone posted on Reddit like, "I've never played, but this subreddit keeps showing up on my feed. Ask me about the game, and I'll pretend I know." Someone asked who Noctilucent should end up with, the person answered...
It's my ninth blogiversary! Or it will be in a few days. It's also 8:15 pm, and I totally forgot I needed to make this post by midnight or so. A little peek behind the curtain lol. Anyway, nine years is longer than most things I've done in my life. (And that's nine years since I started this blog. Abandoned blogs before this one don't count.) I've said before that I was always someone who...
So I fell behind on blogging a bit in May. I was feeling more rundown than usual and just wasn't up to making blog posts. When I was feeling well enough to do stuff and focus, I was---big surprise---playing Baldur's Gate 3. I'm on my sixth playthrough and still having fun, finding new things, falling more and more in love with all the characters. It has also become more and more of a dress-up...
I feel like I'm supposed to start this post by saying, "Happy New Year!" but that would feel disingenuous. This year isn't going to be any happier for me than the last one was. But this post isn't about the new year, so ha. Take that, 2024! It's about what I did in December. And one of the things I did was make art! And I'm so happy with how it came out. Seriously, this is what I was...
I forgot to keep track of anything this month, and now I don't know what I did. I guess I played more Moonstone Island? I've already posted my review, it's a really cute farming sim / creature collector game! Oh, I got a little ghost cat in Cats & Soup! It shifts between opaque and translucent, it really is cute. I'm also still watching JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. I'm on Season 3 now. It's...
So a bit of real life... My energy levels have been worsening for a while, and I felt like I was spending more and more time in a haze, struggling to focus, trying and failing to keep my eyes open. I thought my illness was just worsening. Turns out I've been living with CO2 poisoning from a poorly ventilated room. Which is good, to have figured it out! But also bad because there's no good...
I always feel like I should announce it in the title when I make art because it happens so rarely, but I'm not that enthused about this one, so it felt weird to draw attention to... Anyway, I played some more games. I mentioned giving up on Brookhaven Grimoire last time, but I went back to it and ended up finishing the game. There was a frustrating lack of guidance for the player, but I loved...
Making art for Mermay got me back into an art mood, so I set to work on one of the numerous started-and-paused drawings I have. I struggled with it a lot and am not entirely happy with how the drawing came out, but I do like the coloring. It had been a long time since I'd done a portrait with semi-realistic coloring (as in, not cel shading or watercolor splotches). Anyway, it's Jacobin and...
The first month of the new year is over. *Phew* I guess? I made more art! I tried something different, using Rebelle 5 Pro. But alas, I still suck at watercolor, even digitally. This picture has grown on me though, after redoing some parts and doing a bit of editing. And I messed around with it a bit and thought it looked cool without the lines...
