I need to paint more miniatures. All I post lately is bland art and complaints about anxiety.
...
We'll what I *really* need is a new job, but even just thinking about the search sends me into an axiety and depression spiral; so for the sake of my mental health, I'll just focus on wanting more minis

Went for a small walk yesterday and started this drawing on a park bench. Finished this afternoon at home. 90% Derwent Inktense pencils, which I quite like for this sort of kids book style, plus some watercolour and standard soft coloured pencils

A drawing of a pumpking with a spooky face carved into it, in a childrens picturebook sort of style.

Yeah, The Between looks really nice, but I haven't played it yet either. Would very much like to give it a shot

I never wanted to play Vaesen, due to the Quinn's Quest review of it, but it's what the group voted on. As far as investigation games, Brindlewood Bay and the games based on it do a waaay better job tha Vaesen in my opinion, and it's not even close. My other group loves Brindlewood.

Also, I have a post game-night headache, which happens almost every morning after a game, and which I can't explain.

Rpg night last night. Continuing our Vaesen game. Really starting to feel a disconnct with my character. They just seem totally useless in every situation we end up in. Like the skills I gave them are never needed in any scene ever, and its becoming a maor bummer.

I have made a tiny batch of walnut ink, from the shells of the black walnut tree in the neighbor's yard. Since this pic was taken, it got boiled down further to aout 1/3 of what's seen here, and darkened. But I went out for a walk and collected a bunch more whole walnuts for a second, larger batch.

A small glass jar of homemade walnut ink, and a tiny sketch book with test swatches of said ink on one of the pages.

Finally, the hot days are over. Autumn weather is here at last. Finally I can exist without such fear of the scalding sun.

If you are a summer enjoyer, why? It's the worst season by far, shit in every way.

It was good, but needed to bake a little longer.

Bread has happened. Pray for me.

A freshly baked round loaf of bread, with a cut down the mittle, on a wodden cutting board.

Watched episode 1 of Murderbot this evening. Enjoyed it, but I have some minor issues. I won't get into them, except for the most nitpicky, petty one: Why does Murderbot have hair!? They should not have any hair until they purposly take on a human disguise.

I don't want to be *that guy* who claims to have things without being diagnosed... but fuck, depression and axiety would explain a lot, I think.
Too bad I'll probably never find out for sure (only myself to blame on that last point, admittedly)

Tangential, if I made a video game, I'd want it to be a low poly or pixel art animal crossing type game, possibly side scrolling, but make it amost perpetually rainy, and set it on some sort of scaffold out in the sea. I don't know why I want this, but I do.

Sometimes I wish I hadn't gotten rid of my 3DS. If only so I could play New Leaf again.
