#It's a fun challenge

[maci-lena]

I like making comics based on my (or sometime others) experience. So, when you're in the middle of trying to beat the last pantheon and your adopted moth-bat-wyvern son decides to blow up a volatile jellyfish and actually drop you into the acid pit... Yeah, I kinda have to make it a comic.

And yes, he did do that after I defeated Uumuu.

I put him in time-out because of that.

Because I spent all day yesterday outlining a missing conclusion to someone else's fic, I have to say it's a super interesting writing exercise because the questions completely change. Instead of 'what's in character' or 'what story am I wanting to tell', you have to ask 'what lines up with this person's version of the characters' and 'what fits the existing stakes and tone of this story'. And then actually writing the missing chapter will be interesting too because I'll need to match the author's style which is very different from my own (there's virtually no dialogue???) and idk just... Writing fanfic of a fanfic is super interesting to me.

📩 Simblr question of the day: Whether it be making sims, doing gameplay, or making renders, our posts are all unique (even if you don't think so), so what makes your posts unique? ("It isn't my post if I don't do/have [blank]) Feel free to throw in examples and let your mutuals/followers tell you what makes your posts stand out on their dash!

i think where my edits differ is i always come from a place of trying to tell a story? i'm not the type of simblr that can just post a pretty edit of a beautiful sim with no context you know i'm not good at that sort of thing, i don't have a sim style like that. but i know how to tell a story and set a mood ✍

like idk i guess these are good examples i don't think i'm doing a good job explaining this

-----

Noble - Jaheira

Jhessem, it seemed, pictured the nobility of Tethyr as storybook figures, gold-robed and gold-crowned, something to be aspired to by a child from the dirty streets of Baldur's Gate. She begged Jaheira for stories of the place where she was born, and imagined herself returning to resume the family line amid the tall buildings of the nation's capital. Jaheira never knew for sure how to answer her, for her memories of those people held no glory at all; they were dim, shrouded by the smoke of a burning city and the sound of screams.

Sacrifice - Rakha

Sceleritas, when he made his ill-omened appearances, always seemed to describe her murders as gifts - sacrifices to appease the monster in her head, or some force beyond it. It was one of the things Rakha hated about him. There was nothing sacred in the blood on her hands; it was only the stains left by a raging animal beyond control or salvation.

Illusion - Karlach

Surely it had to be her imagination, when she thought she could look up and see Hector watching her longingly from across the camp - just her mind playing tricks on her, making her see what she wanted to see instead of what was really there. She'd learned a long time ago to mistrust hope, and the vainest hope of all was that, after everything, that monk with the soft voice and gorgeous grey eyes might ever feel for her what she was starting to feel for him. But her hopes were stubborn things forged in the fires of hell, and this one lingered, a warm touch at the back of her mind no matter how hard she tried to push it away.

Seaspray - Wyll

He liked to sit beneath the bridge to Wyrm's Rock and fish off the sea passage, smelling the salt spray and watching the ships drift past. He never caught anything, but that wasn't the point. He liked to hear the sailors shouting from the decks, and the cries of merchants from the South Span, the breathing lungs and beating heart of the city his father had raised him to protect.

Shiver - Minsc

He did not remember being a statue, nor did he fear what had happened to him; Minsc was a creature of the current moment, always looking forward, not back. If anything of the experience lingered, it was a memory of terrible itching as the curse finally broke and the stone stiffness sloughed away from his skin. It meant nothing, certainly, that some nights he would wake shivering violently with a sense of bone-deep cold and the feeling that he could not move his legs.

Hello! I just want to say I love your art and I think it’s really beautiful and neat. You have a wonderful art style my friend.

I have a question. What art supplies do you use? your traditional drawings are so pretty and colorful and I’m always curious to know what others create with.

Specifically what are the art materials you use for your lovely Sun and Moon art?

Thank you! And I hope you have a good day! (Good luck on whatever you want to accomplish this week!)

ohhhh thank you! you're too kind! i hope you're having a good day too!

for my art supplies, i use a combination of things:

+ whatever pencil i can find that still has lead and my dollar store sketchbooks

honestly i'm still figuring out colouring as i go 😅 i usually feel nervous about "ruining" the lineart so I used to skip colouring, but i've been challenging myself to colour more this year! it also helps that sun and moon are so colourful themselves!

Found my fav Slay the Princess route recently. Dragon my beloved. Your horrifying beak mouth was an impossible-to-refuse lip syncing challenge 💖

Shoutouts to @blacktabbygames for making such a cool game!

If that doesn't have potential for some fairytale nonsense, I don't know what does.

Decided to do something a bit different. A local blue-collar worker finds a little feisty blue hedgehog and adopts him :)
