i'm glad you got one! :) i've been feeling the same abt hobonichi, i got a cousin this year instead of A6 bc i thought it would give me more freedom, but it's not really working for me. plus i have some other issues with the company :') i look forward to seeing your TN too if you feel like sharing!

oh thank you! i used to color everything but i haven't had the time or energy for it the past few months. i'd like to put more effort into my game journal again!

so far it's very cute and fun!! it's hard to put it down tbh 😅 i mainly got it because it's by the same team that made dragon quest builders and i really loved those games. this one is similar!

oohh i hope you can get the one you want 🙏 this will most likely be my last year using hobonichi too and i'm considering fully moving into traveler's next year (i only use them for trips now). i'm excited to use a lot of different notebooks and sizes next year so i couldn't pass on this one 🥲

the black one because i liked the blue zippercase more! they're both super cute though. did you get one too? 👀

i know, it was so disturbing reading about both of them. it definitely made me more cautious where and what brand i buy my pens and ink from! (luckily i'm in europe so i can avoid both noodlers and goulet)

is it the Goulet drama you're referring to by any chance? 👀

it's my favorite, the villagers are so sassy

i really don't understand why some artists suddenly decide to use AI. all you can do is unfollow and move on i guess

i feel you, it's snowing again where i live as well and it's been freezing temperatures continuously since new years. i personally love winter but i really need spring now

thank you for sharing, it's very insightful and helpful! i guess i'll just give it more time and keep being creative in different ways until i feel comfortable with drawing again

i can relate to this because i actually got interested in photography. even though i only know the basics and i only care about what looks good to me it feels a lot more satisfying and carefree than drawing. did you not work on any games at all during that time?

thank you! ☺️

some more quick drawings

[ah i wrote a mistake in the alt text: the -> cookie <- is called hato saburē. it is a crispy butter cookie originating from Kamakura]

the switch 2 version runs really poorly so you're not missing out on anything. apparently PC is currently the best way to play!
