Casually opening the blinds this morning, spotting bones and having to do a double take, followed by an "..... Oh... Right," because I was too tired to remember that I put them out to sun bleach like 3 days ago.

Bruh, I'm lucky it didn't rain.

A collection of deer bones (including the skull, jaw bones, vertebrae, pelvis and some ribs) sun bleaching on my backyard table.

.... I think I'm lost on what you mean by "scrolling through the colour wheel for palettes."
Like, just... selecting different colours for all the sections of the art? (sorry, if this is a dumb, I haven't slept, I'm very tired)

Wouldn't be the first time.

That would be super useful if I was doing an illustration and not a sticker design that has no background and where I'm struggling to come up with base colours that work well together in the way that I envision.

Nevermind, my skills didn't improve enough, I still suck at colours, send help.

You ever step away from a piece for like a year because it's going to be too hard to get right, then when you come back to it you get it done, no hassle, on the first try?

And now the question becomes; did my skills improve? Or did I overestimate the task from the start?

An info-graph regarding this post:

#Twitch #VSky #MeltTheICE #NoICE

An infograph meme quoting a moment from the movie "The Incredibles".

There is black text that reads:
Alright, listen closely. I'd like to help you with the ads, but I can't.
I'd like to tell you to click on the gear icon and select "Report Playback Issue". But I can't.
I also do not advise you to select anything related to how the advertisement is offensive or inappropriate; I wouldn't expect Twitch to do something about the ICE ads if they get flooded with enough reports.

Below, there are images that are as follows:
From left to right, top to bottom.

First year. Started late, hand hurts, yet creatively replenished after a couple month long stagnation state. Will certainly try to remember to participate next year.

(Feel bad that I wasn't able to finish this one, but my hand hurts quite a bit by this point and I definitely don't have enough time so I'm just done.)

Streaming today but I need a couple more hours of sleep because Demona decided I wasn't allowed to have it last night.
See you in a few hours.

Sorry for the pause. We're back again. The thing did not take nearly as long as I assumed that it would.

BeAnimatedOctopus @beanimatedoctopus.bsky.social · Jul 30

Demona scared me shitless while I was trying to take a nap, so now I'm awake and I guess I'm using that to make art.
good lord...
