10.13.25 #Drawtober2025 Day 13: Reflection Part 2

Well, there’s no accounting for taste…

#TraitorandtheWretch #TATWSpoilers
Part 1:
Present Percy looks lovingly at an off-screen Knell. Past Percy looks at him with a disgusted and baffled expression.

Part 2:
Past Percy turns to Present Percy, yelling, “He ate a cave crab raw!”
Present Percy, annoyed, corrects him, “It’s ‘Shell Spider’.”
In an aside he mutters, “Was I always this loud?”

Finished The Salt Grows Heavy the other day and while my little lizard brain struggled with the word choice sometimes I overall really enjoyed it

10.10.25 #Drawtober2025 Day 10: Archetype

#TraitorandtheWretch It’s here! It’s finally here!

The conceit of novel came from the idea of what would happen if the two minor bad guys from any other fantasy story came together.

Congratulations to @mythjae.bsky.social on the successful book launch!
Knell and Percy drawn to be the traditional bad guys they were meant to embody in a more abstract style.

Knell is shrouded in darkness with a pale, outstretched hand, mouth open in a silent shriek.

Percy is hunched, enshrouded in Knell’s cloak, wielding a long, white dagger.

Found this on the AO3 subreddit, and I'm about to let it change my whole life (or at least work really hard to internalize it wrt my writing).
Someone's screenshot of a two-post twitter thread, from user blue (@bluewmist):

the fastest way to kill motivation is to make your identity depend on the outcome. it's called ego involvement. when failing becomes failing as a person, your brain starts avoiding the whole thing. not because you don't care, but because you care too much.

you don't need lower standards. you need less self-worth tangled up in your goals. the work gets easier when it's not about proving who you are.

there’s this weird idea a lot of people seem to have about how all of us writers and artists must secretly want to use AI and are merely resisting temptation for ethical reasons, and like, no, it’s not hard for me to resist drinking the bowl of Piss With Glass In It actually

At least I've been reading (just finished another book tonight)
nmzuka.bsky.social
Yeah...
When I'm not drawing I wish I was
When I sit down to draw I cant and just sit doing nothing for hours...
nmzuka.bsky.social
Wish I was drawing more...
I just miss creating my own stuff (cause I'm the one that needs to make the things I want to see)

It's not a faux pas to post the same WIP twice if I forgot about it for four months
Bust sketch of Kid Cobra from ARMS with a frustrated expression.

Day late and I had very low motivation/little time yesterday but still tried to do a drawing for #ARMStober
I like to think Ninjara has to do odd jobs to help pay for Ninja College (like running deliveries)

10.07.25 #Drawtober2025 Day 7: Expectations

Making #TraitorandtheWretch art until it finally releases on 10/10.
Knell from Traitor and the Wretch. Caption “He looked at him like he was the Sun…”
Expectation: Knell looks up, hands clasped with a wide-eyed look of wonder on his face
Reality: Knell’s face is scrunched-up, hands in a raptor-claw stance
