Hey! It's me! :0!

Okapi, the corvid family, cats, maned-wolves, sharks. Video games (Dragon Age, Mass Effect, The Outerworlds, Skyrim, Fallout 4, Pokemon, Animal Crossing. Drawing, whittling, concertina, singing, calligraphy, horticulture. A small sketch of an okapi and the pokemon swampert are next to this list. Dislikes. Coconut, spiders, heights, clubbing and bars, parallel parking. A sketch of a spider is next to this list.
Paint marks of the colour spectrum from purple to green is shown underneath these two lists. Weird stuff about me. I have a blood disorder called haemochromatosis (also known as the Celtic Curse). A puppet made me throw up once. I'm tongue tied. A sketch of a skeksis is shown to the right of this list. On the far right is a sketch of a white person standing awkwardly, fiddling with their hands. They are 5'7". They're wearing a black, high neck, sleeveless, form-fitting top. Baggy black trousers and black, knee-high combat boots. They have dark teal hair with a shaved side, and streak of white at the front, like Rogue.

Hey it's me!
I'm alive!
I've just been hecking busy, and I've accepted that my habits work in cycles, so art has been on the back burner for a bit. (I also like to think that not feeling the urge to always post on a social media platform is a good thing for me lol)

I'm alive!
Also, here's me making a chibi Demian (from @damienhaas.bsky.social Dark urge run!)

I got a new tablet that I wanted to practice with! :D

I knelt a bit too long and now my knees don't work 👍

Hot take: Video shorts should be banned.

I don't know what kind of sorcery they weave into those things, but one minute it's a respectable 11:30pm, and then the next minute, it's 3:33am and you feel like you're in a liminal space.

Bard The Jack (They/Them) @bardthejack.bsky.social · Jul 21

Thank you! I'm also pleased to find that I do have wavy hair :'D

Bard The Jack (They/Them) @bardthejack.bsky.social · Jul 21

On a different note, I finally got a haircut!
(At last, a real hairstyle and not whatever my hair was trying to do. It was a 'two haircuts in one' kinda nonsense)

Once again, work has been my priority.
That and the heat, it's all been taking my energy.
The joys of being an artist with a full time job and being disabled. 👍

(Reminder: some medications can make you more susceptible to overheating, be careful out there, keep cool and hydrate!)

Bard The Jack (They/Them) @bardthejack.bsky.social · Jul 20

Log off the internet? I mean I can try, but the siren call of doomscrolling is ever present. 🥲🖤
(✨Have a fabulous birthday✨)

Bard The Jack (They/Them) @bardthejack.bsky.social · Jul 19

Play Excelsis by Ghost at my theoretical funeral, because holy shit, this fucking rocks my soul.

(That and plant a Bardsey apple tree on my grave, dead ppl apple pie brings me joy, circle of life and all that 🤔)

I am improved though, so there's hope yet!

And again with the roadblocks for me drawing.
Stomach problems are not fun and not easy to distract yourself from when they make you feel like shiiiiiiiiiii-

I'm so proud of you dude!

Bard The Jack (They/Them) @bardthejack.bsky.social · Jun 26

Thank you! 😊

Two more of my Tavs added to the alignment chart; Merrow and Hypatia.

Merrow was my first play-thru, they have a special place in my heart. (Rogue/Ranger, ultimate stealth sniper)

Hypatia is one of my "evil" play-thrus, she's a librarian, and a true drow of Menzoberranzan.

For all those who feel behind their peers, you’re not alone!

Meg says “my 20s were full of alcoholism, debt, pain, depression and bipolar that was undiagnosed for years. I feel so far behind my peers.” Carson shrugs “comparison is the thief of joy, take pride in the challenges you faced and grew from.”

I love these! ✨

Bard The Jack (They/Them) @bardthejack.bsky.social · Jun 17

I'll admit it, I'm scared of drawing.
Specifically things I don't normally do, which for me is motion and interactions. (Kind of important when you want to do a comic)
So I've been trying to break that aversion by doing quick sketchy poses.
