fitting more (mostly recent) ocs onto the chart i made for this before is making me realise i need to make more ocs who are wretched foul creatures, the upper-left quadrant is getting too cramped

hmmm big salamander fella who draws power from the souls of those he consumes
this ended up in a very different direction to my original intent and the design definitely needs some work, but i think i have a good role in mind for this fella

but of course that relies on the assumption i'll be in the mood for that after the aforementioned new tablet arrives

never been one to bother with tutorials or practice but this'd probably be a good excuse to grab a bunch of tutorials on things i've never bothered with (clothing folds, more detailed shading, and so on) and try to work them into an updated art style

09.11.2025 10:26 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

i've also been planning on experimenting with my art style to figure out something that looks cooler or at least takes less time for close to a decade now, so maybe this'll be what finally motivates me to do so

and my projects usually involve a lot of drawing, which basically every time ends up being what puts me off from working on them, because at my current rate, having to draw dozens of character sprites for a game is an insurmountable obstacle

09.11.2025 10:12 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

still wouldn't end up being like, super often, because between the adhd and having a lot of hobbies/interests i could never really fully devote myself long-term to a single thing
but even a single proper drawing every month would be a huge improvement

gonna get a bigger tablet that can double as an extra monitor in the hopes it encourages me to draw more often
one of the main things that gets in the way for me is having to disconnect my monitor and connect my tablet every time i want to use it, so i think this'd help a lot

i feel like i'm always shifting position on a scale between "yearning for companionship" and "craving eternal solitude", and sometimes i'm even at both ends simultaneously
maybe someday i'll figure out a way to solve this dilemma

my favourite new boss in the off remake is justus, because every other new boss is either the best or worst fight in the whole game, meanwhile justus just shows up to aura farm for like, 2 turns and then die like a bitch

drew my top 10 favourite ocs all-time except in shitty mspaint doodle form and from memory
half of these characters i haven't touched in years, and some i've barely ever drawn in general, but they are (or have been in the past) my most beloved blorbos

haha yeah i'm too tired for this, i underestimated just how much more complex it'd be compared to eu4, spent an hour looking around at tooltips, and decided to just go to bed before unpausing

aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh it's here
shame i'm tired and will probably go sleep after playing it for like an hour

my experience has basically been this but the other way around, orientation has stayed consistent for years but identity has been such a rollercoaster that the only way i've been able to find long-term comfort is by not really thinking of myself as anything in particular other than simply being me

last night's game featured 3 of the 13 most impactful plays in mlb history by cWPA
T-9 Miguel Rojas HR - 34.91% (12th)
T-11 Will Smith HR - 41.03% (5th)
B-11 Alejandro Kirk GIDP - 46.24% (4th)
the latter is the worst offensive play of all time by cWPA (the previous record was 32.81%, in 1924)
