It's my favourite dessert, so if it's on the menu I'm getting it!

Good job I hadn't had a big bowl of pasta beforehand 😬

Pretty much!

Although I'm not sure :( will suffice for Hellraiser 2.

The unlicensed Astro Boy I'm designing is moving along. I have no idea what I'm doing in this space or whether anyone would want to buy it. If you have advice, I'm all ears!

I just know I am compelled to make it, and keep it as close to Tezuka's original lineart as possible. So much research!

Astro 3D sculpt, and blueprint of what's in him, based on all the artwork Osamu Tezuka has of Astro Boy dissected or X-Rayed (that's 6 drawings!)

...flow state is something I'm getting better at prioritising and protecting, and I'm enjoying the results.

It's been a super productive week, I've hit a good flow state for most of it, and I've wrapped up a big set of tasks by mid-afternoon on a Friday which means....

EARLY WEEKEND 🎉
