I truly think one of the best maps I ever created was Dawnsharbour for my good friend Stryk.
This city inspired me so much, and I'm always eager and excited to go back to it.

Yet another domestica class has begun for me - I love taking art classes online, but I crave an in person interaction.
That said, this next one looks really fun and exciting. I'm really looking forward to what this one will be able to teach me!

In trying to find inspiration for things to draw in my notebook, I keep drawing weird worm things. They're really cool, don't get me wrong, but I'm still kind of struggling for inspiration.

I've said it before, but it bears repeating. Embroidery is teaching me so much about patience.
I don't have much to give. I naturally sit in an angry state until something or someone kind shakes me of it. Embroidery is helping me navigate that side of myself.

But we're making it work and loving every second of it!

I don't know why new media in a franchise ruins the old media. I understand in the way of ret-coning well written stories. "Somehow Palpatine returned" sticks out in my head. But that doesn't make the first few movies bad. It doesn't negate their impact.
How do y'all feel about it?

This year has been the year of the concerts. I just recently saw Boys Go To Jupiter, and if you don't know them, you should.
They're incredible, they're fun, and they have such a unique sound. Every song is a bop. Please go listen.

So, while the action sequences are great in the Clone Wars Animated Film, the way Ahsoka and Anakin interact make me feel like this is just an ego off.
None of these people understand what controlling their emotions means. They make her so insufferable and insolent. I don't like her.

Star Wars Episode 2 still holds up. My only concern is how creepy Anakin is. I don't get how anyone likes this dude lol.
But also, though.

I struggle with inspiration for my sketchbook a lot.
I have a lot of ideas, and concepts, but no confidence that I can draw them with any accuracy. In my journey to be less ginger with my sketchbook, I think I just need to do some studies and take leaps of faith with my work.

I just tried inking with a quill for the first time - it has fountain pen nibs.
My practice turned out pretty well, for a first go around! I definitely need to spend more time with it, and perhaps get myself some alternate nibs, but I do like it quite a bit!

Anakin Skywalker for all of episode 2 is a walking red flag.
I don't get it.
Obi-Wan is *right there.*

I just finished another domestika course from Evan Amundsen, about illustration and worldbuilding.
As a world builder, this was a course that affirmed, for me, that I was on the right track. If you spend any time at all building worlds for TTRPG's, I highly recommend it.

The only bad thing about Episode 1 is Jarjar, and i'm not accepting alternate opinions.
The difference in fight choreography between Obi-Wan and Qui Gon though? With the FIRST instance we hear duel of the fates?
Peak.
Also the parade song is peak.
