i think i just need to have sketches started at home and then render them out at work with the idle time. i've never been able to sketch with people watching me but rendering is a no brainer.
novels since i've started this job last week, most of which i finish within a single shift. i've had to bring multiple books with me so i still have something to read depending on how long they are 😩
while i'm still not comfortable drawing at work yet, i've been catching up on reading, some books/series of which i REALLY like and will read further into the series of. only problem is i'm such a fast reader + have so much idle time that i chew through books incredibly fast. so far finished 5-

Recent heavypaint studies
more likely than not i'll try and do some concept work for my personal project since all of that can and will be sfw, along with whatever ez character portraits bc i've always loved and relied on drawing portraits as comfort subjects anyway.
started a new full time day job this week so art is slow going at the moment. the job itself has super slow moments where i'm free to draw on shift, but i'll be limited in what i can work on content wise. once i get more settled and comfortable, i'll probably be able to work on more stuff!
Fix your heart or die 💔
this happened to my mom on facebook late last year and it was a fucking nightmare bc she fell for it. she's never been tech savvy. fucking hate this shit.
this JUST happened to a friend of mine on bsky too, what the fuck is in the water today???
no surprise this recent piece is TESTING me and my patience. i wish i didn't have to ration my ritalin so i could just sit down and get it done.
i really struggle to finish pieces a lot of the time, especially larger ones, so i try to be patient and see them through — but god is learning a new skill at the same time for it also incredibly challenging. 😵💫 to think i wanted to do environment design back when i was in college lol

i ESPECIALLY don't need people who don't even follow me to argue with me about it lmao
i don't do commissions, i don't have a kofi or patreon, or otherwise make any money from my art. i'm just a guy who draws gay shit when i'm not at a day job. i will be fine if i'm not grinding out visibility for my art that i post lol
posting on twitter and having shit do overwhelming numbers was not good for my brain and i realize that the issue is not really the same here but honestly i don't really care and it's more for my own comfort than anything else.
heads up, i deleted and will be reposting that other piece with leigh because i don't need people arguing w me in comments on my art about whether i should hashtag my work for visibility when i explicitly state i don't do that precisely so that my work is not more discoverable than it already is
I'm aware hashtags increase discoverability, that is specifically why I intentionally do not add them. I'm controlling for that, which is what I explained in the first place.
i would recommend using the OnlyPosts feed that makes it so reposts are not visible and it only shows original posts from people you follow if you get overwhelmed by reposts. otherwise, i will post my art in whatever way makes me comfortable.
you don't follow me but i assume you're talking to the other person but i'll say this anyway: i refrain from putting hashtags in my post to limit visibility, i usually will label it if it's something fandom related to people can mute that, but not for oc art. they're not responsible for that, i am
back at it again. really trying on some of these compositions but they do be fighting back sometimes <_>
