#Hello Hello Hello#I really did quite need to break character for a moment purely in order to establish how deeply normal I am about this. So very.#I do not think words can describe exactly the feeling I was overtaken by when I woke up to this message#New Prof Elemental album AND it's a sequel to ApeQuest... truly life can be wonderful sometimes.#Someday I'll be able to afford the whole collection but untl then I'm streaming these on loop.#I haven't talked about my appreciation for the Professor's music in a while but rest assured I am still obsessed with it.#Speaking of which I cannot quite believe it's already been so long since Nemesis! and Good Dad Club were released?? Fascinating.#Topsy Turvy was in 2022. I made palettes for that one when it released yet it feels like just this year. Time really does fly by so fast.#Ah anyway I suppose I've rambled on long enough. Time to return to our regularly scheduled radio silence.

I have no motivation to do anything recently and every day the likelihood of me ripping a pillow apart with my bare teeth out of sheer frustration increases about it.

Text: The local miller has three children. But sometimes, I see a fourth wandering through the wheat fields, with golden hair and eyes, leaving golden feathers in their wake.Β

Deep Water Prompt #3156
Once a year, the local miller will take a badly shaped grain from the pile, and bury it in a bed of embers. A week later a new child will appear on the farm, with warm amber eyes.Β
#Make Good Art Part 1#The Miller Father and His Children#YES! Brilliant! Utterly brilliant! Thank you so much#This prompt is exactly what I needed to shape this man in my mind

My laptop, poor thing, stopped charging itself today, and I am devastated. I hope I manage to make it work again tomorrow. Everything important of mine is on there. All my palettes are on there.

Text: There is a cocoon in our attic, seven feet and fuzzy, something wriggling inside. Each morning I check on it, and report to the rest of my family that dad is still sleeping.

#Make Good Art Part 2#Hi OP you might already know this but the large text is caused by copypasting text with the number sign at the front#Presumably because it assumes it to be a formatting command shortcut to that particular option#I believe that as long as you don't have it as the first symbol in a new text string it won't affect the text formatting

anyways send me some requests and a palette combo and iβll try to draw stuff for my own challenge lmao (though i might just draw stuff on my own idk)
#Make Good Art Part 2#Eye Strain#From the perspective of someone who did not make these palettes I do believe they have potential#Might consider giving them a try if inspiration so strikes#Thank you :)

I open a word document. I proceed to write nothing for an hour. Three hours. Five hours. Nine hours. I have several story concepts planned from start to finish. I cannot get any of them on paper.Β
I come up with another story idea.Β
#Hello Hello Hello#Perhaps nobody will ever get to experience my writing. Perhaps my talking about them on this blog will be all that remains of them someday.#This idea has been on my mind for the past few days and I've decided to give it a chance and brainstorm the details.#It is about an alternate Earth where every year the world flips over and the sky swaps roles with the oceans. That is it so far.#And it is surrealist and steampunk-flavoured because that is simply my way of life <3

1. I will be born this Wednesday (indeed, tomorrow). Exciting!Β
2. I've been working on my Fakemon region for the past... ah, number of months, and after working out approximately a hundred or so concepts Iβm more or less satisfied with (granted, most of them are still quite likely to be changed, merged together, or scrapped altogether along the way to the finish line), including - finally! - the starter trio, I feel confident enough to slowly start sharing them with people. Eventually. Perfectionism is a real pain, and so is art, sometimes πΒ
#Hello Hello Hello#I was worried initially that my region would have too many Steel types but in the end it turned out there is more Ghost types after all#Not that the amount of Steel and Ghost types is a problem - the region has heavy Steampunk and Victorian Era influences#My real problem is obsessive overplanning because if it's not perfect it's not ready and at that rate I will never get anything done hah...#The only thing I do not have this issue with is poetry and I have a feeling that is because I allow myself to write poetry badly#maybe I should start doing everything badly until nothing is#>:)
