kody is under (your bed, it's spooky season)

one of my favorite bgs to date is this single panel of the back hallway of the piano bar. all the steps of the staircase are slightly off-kilter, and it feels SO much better than if they were all straight lines in perfect perspective

like, I always think I've made my inks organic enough, and then I take a step back and see all the places they're too sterile. fucking up the lines is my favorite part of inking bgs, haha!!!

preliminary background inks are done. time to make the inks look Worse. :)

(and I do mean worse in the sense that I'm gonna go in and purposefully make the lines stray EVEN MORE off perspective. I find the eye gets fatigued looking at lines that are too immaculate!!)

sent partner off to GWAR. will be excited to see how much fake blood he has on him when he gets home

summoning circle for neutral-to-good news (the circle is made of shrimp)

someone has started to set up parallel lines to a vanishing trace to determine window length and then obviously went "nope"

conclusion: I do not.

do I care enough about these background windows to use a vanishing trace: the kody o story

dear squirrel who lives in my ceiling,

can you not?

this might have to be what happens because as I'm trying to reorient the entire scene it turns out I Cannot Fix it

ok. ok i can fix this

"just move the scene one street up"

you don't understand I JUST FINISHED MY BLENDER LEGO SET FOR IT... 😭

...not me basing an entire scene on a specific Chicago street and then only realizing when it is almost done that the crux of this entire scene is flawed because in reality it's a one way street going the wrong way........

just like riding a bicycle, right.... (wrong 🥲)

Instagram close friends story over a photo of an onigiri. Things I have done today: took my mom to urgent care because she thought she was having a heart attack (she wasn't). Spent 2 hours with her financial advisor getting power of attorney over her retirement portfolios because she doesn't understand any of it. Ate a tuna mayo onigiri. 🌈 "Vacation" 🌈

if you're wondering how things are going

the in flight wifi struggled to upload this post

How many times can I eat spicy ahi nigiri from Sushiya in 4 days? we'll find out

my other loose food plans:

Tuesday: Sushiya and Asahi Grill
Wednesday: Sushiya and Side Street
Thursday: Sushiya and maybe just Sushiya again

handing keys to our friend who is house-sitting for us tomorrow, still gotta clean the apartment and pack, but in roughly 60ish hours I am going to be eating a late night Zippy's loco moco

😭 THANK YOU, this is incredibly validating because it really did feel like, the most negligent possible approach she could've taken...

dude it was such a bummer given that like, charing trans people several hundred dollars to like their voices is their entire business model 😔😔

denver is off-model like, 1/6 times but usually him being off-model makes him look even cuter

thinking about how the vocal coach, after I told her I've been on HRT for going on 2 years, she was like, "oh, okay, I didn't want to assume!! *cheerful laughter*"

but

you did though

man, had a dream last night I was Frenchie from The Boys just having a very nice time with a lady friend. I think I should allowed to be Frenchie from The Boys from here on out. I would be very good at being Frenchie. (also this means I get to hang out with Karen Fukuhara)

😭 IF ONLY, right around 4pm is when I will be driving back home 🥲🥲🥲 just in time. to catch. all that horrible northbound traffic.

I WILL, I will be hunting them on public transit only

🥲 on the bright side, at least I know I will not be spending the big bux with them because of this, lmaooo

"but kody, what about friday?" GUESS WHO HAS TO FUCKING GO TO TACOMA ON FRIDAY, MIDDAY 😇
