Best of Week 8 (55 days)

Still turning Lullaby HCs in my mind. An idea that saplings start mysteriously popping up as weeds in gardens and ranches. Unsure what attitude saplings and Wayne larva will have toward each other.

Some abstract dudes, bodies, creatures.

I had another vivid dream last week I may draw someday, but I'd need to draw hummingbirds and flowers repeatedly...

An idea for a shit brick house Hylics TV Monk OC. I'm basing the body type off of something like Shugoki from For Honor, and for the head, one of those old big screen TVs (before flat screens). This is a very first draft of the idea. Need more practice with the body type.

Life Drawing will be a separate post with it's own content warning.

Honestly Monk was SUCH a good show for me to see as a young teen I'm ngl. Like yeah, it's not an overly accurate representation of OCD and I'm sure there's things that probably didn't age very well, but OH MY GOD can you even comprehend how amazing it was to get to see a canonically disabled, ND, and, more specifically, PROFOUNDLY ANXIOUS badass main character when you're a freshly diagnosed autistic & anxious young 12-13 year old with the only real advice from a crappy psychiatrist being to "learn to step out of your comfort zone or consider beginning prescription medications."

To get to see "do it scared" depicted in cinematic action in both heroic and relatively mundane contexts. A touch-averse, routine adhering, socially awkward, sensory issue having character as a SMART AND COURAGEOUS PROTAGONIST!

Hell, it was pretty amazing (for me at least) to see a character use those disinfectant handwipes every episode! I have severe food allergies and I have to carry a pack or canister with me for when I need to eat in town or when I've had to go into a grocery store and now that there's a pandemic and food allergies are rather more of an understood issue it's not all that weird a thing to have, but at the time it was definitely yet another step apart from peers and by god was it awesome to see a (again, smart and awesome) character use them too, even if it wasn't for quite the same reasons.

There's things that took longer to germinate too (and tbh still are).

That you don't owe people being "normal and easy". Yes, you have to be cognizant of their needs, boundaries, and how your behavior affects them, but it's still okay to need help and to do things in odd ways and have unusual needs.

That sometimes you're going to fail, do things badly, not be able to be as reasonable as you logically know you should. That logic can't always beat fear even when it should, and that it doesn't make YOU a failure, it means you have to try again another time or try differently.

And that sometimes people aren't as good for you as they seem, no matter how much history you have, and it hurts, it truly does, but sometimes it leads you to connect, by pure chance, with a compassionate stranger, and time will make the disparities between them clearer to the point that when you look back you don't know how you ever thought they were your ally just because they put up with your problems

Summary of best sketches from Week 5 (34 days)

I played with goat/sheep imagery for Gibby Dog, trying to imagine if horns like the four-horned Hebridean sheep grew perfectly around in the disc shape. I think that I unintentionally made Gibby Dog look old and wise.

Figuring out the designs and my personal head cannons for the both dude from the Lullaby and the TV monks. Currently on the thoughts of "Lullaby is a plant, with velvet worm traits for muscular support".

Also, the idea of "TV monks (that we've seen) are melt-scarred survivors of the Crisping of Amulom, but not to the point of perma-death". (I imagined their TV heads bursting into flames as the sage towers were attacked, even if they were in remote locations.)

Practicing hands - my lack of skill in them was on my mind more than usual.

3rd page is what couldn't fit anywhere else. A poolman broke the TV machine. And I guess a small dragon, an emu, and a walking hand are going to whoop someone's ass off to the left?

the reason I didn’t give Adrian –1 point was because he’s cute
