I'm very inspired by Miyavi's tats

i'm sure there are better mics out there but this one's fine for what I need it to do.

I just needed the passive noise isolation.

Got a new pair of IEMs with a mic for the office, wish I discovered these several years back

The times I nearly gave myself tinnitus because of chatty folks around my desk

Doing a volume of concept designs requires the ability to improvise while building a look around some guidelines, a theme and a degree of self restraint.

Sometimes you won't always come up with bangers, but point is you've tried and maybe future you can figure it out later.

The routine is making as many sketches as I can in one week [and or revisiting old sketches], do lineart cleans on the weekends, and all the flats and shading and background graphic design treatment for the rest of the month.

Also let's not forget I had a day job the whole time.

yes that's me

Doing personal art kept my crankiness in check lololol

It was a really good way for me to time box my process at every stage.

In 2022 I made 20 personal pieces, 24 in 2023 and 30 in 2024.

This year in 2025 I made 105. That's 15 fashion OCs a month, every month until around end of July.

I am..... so tired lol.

what did sissera say to elicit that response from shal?

it's like cooking, you try to sense when it's a little over done or rather the upper limit of doneness before it's ruined.

Happy birthday buddy~

If work or clients tries to force you to use "AI references", it just means you gotta search for the actual stuff parts of it came from and work off those.

Still the same research and vetting routine just with more required slop detection and scrutiny.

here's hoping your average video game doesn't require a 5090 just to run at medium settings

It's so wild how bloated these graphic cards get

So are bags LOL

Not me realizing my PC is already 5 years old and probably in need of a serious upgrade.... but it's crammed into a 10L case lololol

I think it goes without saying but if you're sick, STAY HOME

I don't care if you ran outta sick days

(this is for gamedevs forced to return to office)

Dude never heard of doordash ok

That might be the unspoken Elderly People Always Goes first rule because they have such a fuck you got mine attitude about getting on transit

Honestly a vibe lol

I should really make the trip down someday for my sanity
