Yk sometimes I think about the fact that AMV editors are like the creative cousins of movie/show trailer editors

This is so real 😭 always at the wrong times, too... tired when there's things to be done, awake when it's bedtime

Like with Chinese food, my nose will run for a bit and then my sinuses feel clear as glass, but tell me why kbbq feels like the internal equivalent of a really good full body skin exfoliation????

Bess (🪼Comms open!🪼) @barnaclebess.bsky.social · 2d

istg this is my third time eating kbbq and every single time I gain the ability to chug down an entire glass of water in 4 seconds, do this multiple times throughout my meal, finish eating, get mad phlegm for a couple minutes, then gain +100 vitality like wtf is in this food???

Between uni projects rn and I have gone through the stages of:

1. Omg this feels weird what do I do now that I'm not honor-bound to work on anything specific?

2. Catch up on shows

3. Crash and sleep for 12+ hours

4. Omg I have one day left to draw whatever I want before the next project starts

The one thing about making pancakes is that I have to sit here and make all of the batter, I can’t just save half to cook later, it’s not the same… they don’t turn out as fluffy… but also I had to take a break in the middle of cooking because my spine is failing me 👍

Bess (🪼Comms open!🪼) @barnaclebess.bsky.social · 10d

Update. I got three done. Which is still a lot for a week, considering… considering everything about my artistic process lol, I didn’t even get three drawings done a week during artfight (although I was yaoi game jamming during art fight)

Finished The Summer Hikaru Died!

I am so ill. I am so ill. I am so ill. I am so ill. I am so ill. I am so ill. I am so ill. I am so ill. I am so ill. I am so ill.

Anyways, due to love, obsession, understanding, and girl math, I have convinced myself I can get 5 TSHD drawings done in a week <3

The Solar Warden

His wings lie in shadowed sleeves. Once the sun shines upon you, nothing remains hidden under his gaze.

Jackal with sunlit gaze. Bishop sleeves, tailored trousers, ribboned neck, braid loose. Oversized cloak with wings pattern covering both of his entire arms. gold chains glint. Minimal elegance. Palace sentinel—truth revealed wherever light falls.

Honestly, the best way to make an artist’s day is by being very specific about what you like about a piece. Geek out a lil. Gush over how they use line, color, texture. Every mark is layed down by the artist, so if you can connect with those little moments, it helps the artist feel seen.
