Haven't shared a sketch in a while (did this a while back, still on my drawing hiatus 😑), so here's one that's been on my mind a lot today. Clothes I've always been horrible with so I just kinda phone them in, like this cloak here.

Surprising me with the plot and/or eliciting a big emotional moment I wasn't expecting. I have a terrible memory these days, but moments like those stick with me for a LONG time.
It's why I throw wrenches into my own work, so readers might experience something similar.

The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them
A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

Canada made weird tv shows because it was all being done with government funded art grant money so they fell in this wacky middle ground between “shoestring budget” and “no expectation to generate shareholder value” which is really the best way to make art

Regarding the current discourse on books and such, I will ALWAYS advocate for supporting the arts, especially if it's niche and/or indie. Want more of something you enjoy? Help support the artist/writer/whoever, so they can continue to create more of what you like!

Planning for a new comm I'm excited about requesting, and I've already spent 2 hours trying to write out a description, but I keep debating the finer details 😩 Decisions are harrrrrrd.... 😞 Really looking forward to well, whatever I end up going with!

Yup, forcing myself into more writing breaks has been the best course of action! Highly recommended! Gives a nice refresh, and gets rid of added frustrations when a revised draft still looks kinda sloppy. I *want* to push through more tonight, but no. Time for games and shows.

My new piece is complete. This time, I've used a baby bear as the motif, depicting it playing with the KOKEDAMACHAN characters in an artistic scene. I imagined the baby bear finding a four-leaf clover and presenting it as a gift to the KOKEDAMACHAN characters.

I've been imagining stories like a movie in my head all my life. It's what kept me from being bored as a kid and would help me eventually fall asleep, so it kinda became second-nature. Sometimes it's a bit of a problem when I get editor notes on how some of it doesn't work on paper like on film 😶
Do you think in scenes, images, dialogue, or something else entirely when you write? Definitely images for me. It’s like watching a movie in my head #writingq #WritingCommunity
