As the world falls down

[es-r-aa7]

It's taboo to admit that you're lonely. You can make jokes about it, of course. You can tell people that you spend most of your time with Netflix or that you haven't left the house today and you might not even go outside tomorrow. But rarely do you ever tell people about the true depths of your loneliness, about how you feel more and more alienated from your friends each passing day and you're not sure how to fix it. It seems like everyone is just better at living than you are. A part of you knew this was going to happen. Growing up, you just had this feeling that you wouldn't transition well to adult life, that you'd fall right through the cracks. And look at you now, it's happening.

I'm very lousy at this self-promotion thing, but here's my most recent Labyrinth watercolor. Done on A3-sized paper (11.69 x16.53 inches), it's my largest watercolor to date and caused me all sorts of stress since the paper was expensive and I didn't want to ruin it.

I also made a YouTube video of the process:

And since I like "As the World Falls Down" so much (that wonderful bass!), I also made a short vertical video and uploaded it to YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok to see how their audiences might differ. As expected, it was completely ignored by Instagram but had a better reception on TikTok. YouTube reacted relatively lukewarmly. It's always funny how there are people who take the trouble to downvote my videos on Youtube. 🤣

when Sarah said you have no power over me she meant it if I were her I would still be in the ballroom dancing

she's got will power of steel

I wanted to get a really nice pic of my Labyrinth music box, and I think I finally succeeded!

The music box (And everything else in the photo) were made by me. One of my hobbies is prop replica making, and Labyrinth is a movie that's particularly close to my heart. I've built up a pretty good collection of Labyrinth prop replicas by this point, the music box is the most treasured piece of that collection. The version shown in the above pic is what I consider music box 2.0, as I've done a few updates to it over the last few years. And yes, it does play music, and the figurine spins too! That's thanks to a friend of mine who did all the internal mechanisms, while I did all the exterior stuff (Which included 3D modelling/printing of the music box pieces and making/dressing the little figurine).

Another of my hobbies is product photography, because when I spent all this time making cool stuff I wanna make sure I get at least one cool as heck photo to show it off. Taking these pictures was a bit of a challenge as I feel like I can manage to get a dark and moody look okay, but I knew I wanted something light and cheerful and I wasn't really sure how to do that and still get an interesting looking photo. This took a lot of trial and error over the course of a few days, but I finally was able to get something I'm really happy with. The 'secret' to getting this shot was manipulating the light quite a bit... both reflecting light to where I wanted it and blocking the light from the areas I didn't. Picture me with a light in one hand and a sheet of foam core in the other, trying to position both arms correctly before the timer on the camera went off. I still don't feel all that confident with my photography skills, but I'm happy with the improvements I've made so far.

There's a few minor tweaks I wouldn't mind doing to my music box replica one day, but for right now I'm still super satisfied with the makeover I gave it last year.

I've done a final fitting for the costume pieces before they get all their bells and whistles... For those who have not worked with velvet before, I must caution you by mentioning that your pieces will all be slightly smaller than you planned, because the fabric needs to fold back from the seams, and cannot do so as flatly as lighter fabrics. That being said, I had to adjust my outfit to deal with a slightly higher up coat than I expected, and yeahhh... it made my legs look very long. I'm like a sailor moon character. 😂....
