updog 🎹🎨🦝

an art style/rendering test! i’ve always liked the felt pen on csp and really want to see if i can make it work, and i think i like it

also been doodling a lot in rehearsal and i feel like i’m regaining some confidence in my work

raccoon doodles + a few more

One of my favorite parts about grad school is that I get to cuss in class and I mean that full heartedly

playing in a 20s-40s style dnd campaign and finally decided to make the dragonborn paladin i've been holding off on for years! went with a noir style detective to fit the theme since my last character at the table was a jazz musician and died :(

this guy's name is leon!

hey y'all i realize it's been like a full month and a half since i last posted but just wanted to say how's it hanging and i hope everyone's doing well! i just finished moving to a new city and everything's been absolutely crazy but i'm so excited for the year to come!

honestly it still feels unreal that i get to go get my master's fully funded... never mind the fact that i'm starting in less than two months now. this year has been a WHIRLWIND

so many people on twitter are calling Pokémon friends absolute garbage but have they considered that maybe I like little plushies and playing fun little puzzle games on my phone? have they???

went on typeracer just to see if i still got it... 130 wpm and 1st place on an agatha christie quote. ya boy STILL got it

hell yeah

decided to finally take a listen to some of mario kart world's ost and it is an absolute CRIME that this is easily one of the best video game ost's i've ever listened to considering how i feel about nintendo rn. they just made a jazz album where every single track has a keys solo. based, honestly

I don't why league of legends is getting a sudden surge of players but i think it has to with civil tension

#rivals2 tier list based on how fun it is to fight against them (context: mid-plat ~1200 ELO, main wrastor)

ranno and zetter NEED to get looked at. i know that at top level they're probably not huge issues but for the rest of us below diamond it is genuinely so stressful/annoying to play against

I know this was said decades ago but it still feels like it’s one of the most relevant things ever spoken regarding today’s climate around entertainment. Just kind of wish we lived in different times and had people with better intentions at heart in higher up positions

the way that this is one of the most irresponsible things ever said by potentially one of the most influential people of all time regarding the entertainment industry is something that’s been bothering me A LOT lately. been feeling a lot of frustration with the state of art in late stage capitalism

56-57

kind of just leaned into the personality of these guys; seemed like the easiest route and there’s something very incredible about their design! working on this challenge makes me remember that gen one is good for a reason

another day, another avocado toast. i’m a cusper so it’s okay

it’s INSANE cause like the switch 2 does have a massive performance jump from the switch but the business practices that Nintendo has implemented into its release are so shady that it destroyed their PR for a large portion of the market

i’m not really seeing people hype up the switch 2’s release anywhere near as much as the original, and it makes me feel a lot better about holding off on buying one. it’s also sad cause i normally am such a nintendo stan but i think it’s questionable at BEST what’s been happening with this console 🫤

“why am I so tired?” i ask myself, having run errands for 3 hours and then somehow fitting three separate and completely different gigs that involved hauling audio equipment around within a 6 hour time span

i feel like i mostly use bluesky just to post art/music and as a result i go WEEKS at a time without posting anything when really the whole point of sites like this and twitter was to post my thoughts completely unfiltered so i think i'm just gonna start doing that more

that being said, sup y'all

I think so and I’m silently preparing myself for the massive undertaking that learning this matchup is going to be…
Really excited for the last one though and REALLY hope it’s a new fighter

54-55

it’s been about a month but with these guys done, it’s the furthest I’ve gotten into a Pokédex challenge! I also wanted to try some more modern ideas and I liked it; got inspired by the mystery dungeon subreddit

switched to @doricoofficial.bsky.social in the past couple of months... i see the light and it is beautiful and glorious

i finally started orchestrating the musical i've been composing for the past couple of years and dorico has made this just such a smooth process

there’s an all you can eat sushi place in LA and needless to say I think my partner and I got more than our moneys worth

a chorus and head on “four” by miles davis. my jazz face always looks constipated lol

#jazz #keys #music #musiciansky #piano

Each each

carrying this energy as june rapidly approaches
