So there was this fun 'bad art' thread going over on the anti-AI subreddit; posted that one planner page and this silly bunny doodle there.

But felt like Bluesky deserved to see the bun too. 🤣 I've been doodling these little buggers in the margins of notes and such ever since high school.

So I was planning out my new year (and what I'm going to draw for the first month of 2026 too, lol), and this is what's going to greet me in my planner.

Love how silly that bird looks I came up with. Such birb energy.

So I FINALLY figured out exactly what I didn't like about the character design of my artistic persona; that sure took me a while here. 🤣 I'm an irl goth, and it was just looking a bit too casual for my tastes compared to actual irl me.

Well, had to update a lot of stuff today; Really trying my best here to get back into a more regular, proper posting schedule. I'm just trying to keep that doable for my neurodivergence, though.
And making link trees plus typing out some announcements was frankly A LOT of work. And nerve-wracking.

Worked really hard today; I just REALLY want my Patreon up and running someday, and I was actually working on some posts for there (it's mainly going to be traditional art media content).
Lineart will never NOT be stressful in that regard.😖 Still got some redraws to do on that one too, though.

So... I was looking for inspiration on an art idea (as one does at times; was looking at it to see how a technical detail of that might be solved). Wasn't a lot of that particular thing out there in the search results (happens sometimes).

Now I HAVE to actually draw it and help to fix that. 🤣

So I'm thumbnailing a new illustration in traditional art media at the moment (I use alcohol markers, pencil and gel pens for that drawing in particular), and two words...

DRAWING HANDS. 😵

So as a VERY neurodivergent artist who only draws original content, I just found myself wondering... Where do people who draw original art, fanart AND do commissions too even get the time or energy from? 😵‍💫

I mean, I'm already spending an hour on finding that ONE dot on my digital drawing alone. 🤣

Well, crap. I just heard over on the anti-AI parts of Reddit that pro-AI is currently developing tools to get past Glaze and Nightshade. As an artist, this pretty much is bad news, and this news has NOT been easy on both my diagnosed social anxiety and my C-PTSD either.

So I started a travel journal recently; I'm usually busy taking in the sights when on vacation, but seemed like fun to just start writing about places I've traveled to. I just started it because I needed something to do while waiting for local public transport or when back in the hotel room, though.

When I needed a new artistic persona after over 15 years, but I'm stuck on what outfit to go for. 😅 After A LOT of just throwing ideas at the wall, I was going for something accurate to irl, but the hoodie and jeans are hitting a little TOO close to home. 🤣

So I had recently filled out one of the notebooks for my watch journal, where I write down my opinions about about tv shows, movies and anime that I watch. And I needed a new welcome page for the next one. This was actually deceptively technically difficult to draw. 😵‍💫

So I've been wanting to read more recently, but I was struggling to actually find the time. I journal a lot, so I've decided to just start a reading journal to keep myself more accountable.
The welcome page sure was a pain when it comes to precision, but it turned out so nice! 😄

That feeling you just browse Gnoosic because you're bored, and happen to you discover a new favorite band... 😄 Damned shame that their online store doesn't stock band shirts in my size at the moment, though (I'm a size 3XL, and they only had size S left 😭), because I SO would've.

I wish that things were different on that one, but it is what it is. I absolutely love the vibe over here on Bluesky, but here's hoping that they raise the character limit at some point. And I'm hoping that the mods can handle it all soon; I heard that the poor things were super overworked.

Ugh, stupid 300-word character limit. I want to post my art here, but it's not NEARLY enough for my usual 3-paragraph OC bios. I wanted to nuke my art's Facebook account along with my Instagram, but I guess that stupid FB account is sadly going to have to linger here because of that limit. Sorry. ☹️
