Hello everyone,

recently I've hit a bit of crossroads with my main blog which I kind of just wrote random bullshit about my art, but now people take it serious! I'm mutuals with big people! I've since become a head of product, and a creative director and may have some big projects! And so it feels like a lot of pressure. But BALANCE is really important and I always have a ton of random shit I am trying.

You see, my brain is always processing a lot of information, and I use art to stim and self-soothe as an autistic person. It helps me work through stuff, y'know. It helps me from freezing up and breaking down into like these fucked up freeze states especially when I'm anxious.

Also people think I'm apparently intimidating, and like yeah I am passionate about stuff but also like I'm nice I started my bluesky originally just to post about my comic

Oh yes, my comic

So, Astarion and Veluthe's Infinite Adventure is still actively being worked on. It's just.... comics are a lot of work lmao. Like... a lot. I get how mangaka are like yeah I have broken ass bodies after working on the shonen jump schedule, and THEY HAVE TEAMS.

But I am chugging along still I've just been rotating parts of the second arc around in my mind, and doing research on Neverwinter. I also have done a ton of thumbnails.
How I've been working on things is that I typically tend to at least set up my 3D models in the file to get composition over the thumbnail just to double check that everything is generally proportional.

The thing is that I prefer working on comics on the big computer but this whole month I was out in San Francisco for like a week which threw off all my routines. But also due to work stuff I feel like all of my routines are thrown off anyways and I am doing more traveling next month for work and wedding season!!! THEY SAID THAT JUPITER IN LEO WAS SUPPOSED TO ACTIVATE A GRAND FIRE TRINE IN MY CHART AND I FEEL A FIRE AND IT'S JUST IN MY BRAIN. BARBAULT YOU bitch WHYYYYY.

So I'm trying to get into a routine with my comic. Part of that is that I need to try and draw everyday at least a little bit. I recently got access to a lot of art courses for different subjects and it's really cool! I have so many things I wanna learn, like 3D modeling, and animation. i also do crafts and program and-

Henceforth: The boxes challenge

So they say if you can draw a box you can draw anything, boxes are the key to drawing anything according to all the art educators, and like a cube-shaped mind virus, all of the people in my local art server got very box-minded. We're all drawing boxes.

It feels like the artists eventually all come back to cube mecca..... like the real thing. Inshallah....

It doesn't help that I've been listening to this Nasheed a lot.

day 1: holy shit i can't draw boxes

I've made a goal of 5-10 boxes a day to not burn myself out using this as a random box angle generator and boy I realized I suck ass at drawing boxes. I told myself that this is the box entry, soon i will become one with the box.

Day 2: within the box perhaps is the circle

so I watched some box construction videos the next day with construction tips to try and learn what they were doing.

they recommended making crossed and circles to make sure they were even

Day 3: one step forward and 2 steps back

I tried without the circles to see and I feel like everything is worst.

Day 4: We're GETTING SOMEWHERE???? PERHAPS????

today was day 4 and I did some boxes and I feel like i'm getting better and also simultaneously do not. I don't know what's going the fuck on. I feel like my boxes are getting squishy somewhat. it could also be that I'm using such a tiny little notebook.

so what's next???

probably spheres, and cones. But I also intend I've also been slowly doing some fun updates to my website to add like an about page and stuff, trying to figure out how I could possibly display some music album stuff on my website but these pages are soooo cute

trying to think of ways to display my favorite albums and books but I'm so bad at thinking of it!!!
