I've developed a new coping mechanism where every time I'm feeling stressed about something, I remind myself that sea cucumbers respond to stress by literally spewing up their internal organs, so I'm handling it better than them
#it's concerningly effective#i no longer feel compelled to do anything to fix stressful situations#calen speaks#sea cucumbers

On Sunday I was procrastinating studying for a test, so I wrote a short piece about my oc which you can read on Unvale if you want :)
#just be aware of the cw in the description#when i clicked the link to check if it worked the description didn't pop up#the cw is “minor allusions to sexual abuse”#oc#original character#oc writing#oc lore

Okay fuck the new windows update which, instead of letting me just restart my laptop to fix the problem every time "windows didn't shut down correctly :(", now makes me enter a 48-digit code that I didn't know existed until two days ago, spends like five minutes running diagnostics, only to decide it "can't connect to the network :(" and make me restart it anyway
#i am very salty about this#my laptop pulls this shit like every other day#and they just made it so much more annoying to deal with#calen speaks#windows

Okay question about ergonomics when drawing that will probably get lost in the void: If one has a graphics tablet without a second monitor at eye-level, should they prioritise having the screen of the tablet close to eye-level or keeping their elbows level with the desk at right angles when setting their chair height?
#this is a genuine question btw#i can't figure out how high my chair should be when drawing#i'm doing a course at school about workplace skills#and this has been nagging me since i learned what ergonomics are#drawing#art#digital art#ergonomics#art question#ergonomics question

Now that Art Fight's over, I'm gonna be working on the designs for the gods in my story! Phoibe here is definitely the most normal-looking of them, so I'm excited to do the others

So about a week ago my friend put me onto the musical Jesus Christ Superstar, and just yesterday Adam Lambert released a cover of Heaven On Their Minds and I need everyone to go listen to it right now because it's so insanely good

I had such an awesome first Art Fight! Thank you so much to everyone who attacked me, I printed out all of the artworks I received so I could stick them on my wall and see them all the time :)
(Artworks by Katxele, Cleo_Dragon, @impietient, Connector, @darknemesys, @philconnorz, and @honeylashofficial)
#cutting these out was literally painful#it's winter where i live and my hands are covered in chilblains#but they make me so happy and i want to see them all the time goddammit#artfight#artfight 2025#artfight defenses#others' art

Reblog if you are 100% okay with your friends messaging you back after however long it takes them to realise and will not be upset with them at all for doing this
i have this disease called i will open your message and get distracted and forget to reply and then the notification will be gone so i will not have replied for ages and you will think i am ignoring you but. i am not. it’s incurable
#i don't understand how people can get mad about this#like i'm not entitled to my friends' immediate attention#i'll just be happy to hear from them if/when they do respond

Yesterday I went to a convention with my friend @subaerial-dweller ! It was my first time attending one and it was super fun, we met Spider-Man and I bought some awesome prints!
#I probably shouldn't have photographed the prints on my quilt#but oh well#calen speaks#convention#art prints#spider man

Art Fight attacks round 4! I've had to slow down a bit since I was starting to burn out a little, but I'm still hoping to do at least a few more before the event ends!

Art Fight attacks round 3! Gonna start posting these for every four attacks since apparently that's how many images Bluesky lets you upload at once

First round of Art Fight attacks! I won't tag the recipients since they've already received them through the site, but you can find them through my page!
#i'm actually getting through my hitlist rather fast#so please please please let me know if you'd like me to attack you#i took a break from drawing in the lead up to art fight so these first few are a little rough#but i'm hoping things improve as the battle continues#calen draws#artfight#artfight 2025#digital art#my art#artfight attacks#no ai
