Finished the D&D pic, sent to commissioner for approval. Probably at least 48 total hours of work.
Way slower than I'd normally be, but it feels good to get it out the door.
Working on shading the D&D commission from yesterday's stream. If I focus, I should be able to get it done by tonight.
Then I can move on to the next thing.

Whoever did the graphic here even has This Guy surrounded by more red than blue, looking *away* from the blue. No particular facial expression, old fashioned black and white, everything about him says "middle manager offhandedly dismissing your request". That's all gotta be on purpose, right?
For what it's worth, I agree with Appelbaum. The guy with massive name/brand recognition who just won big is not the future of the Democrats. This other guy, whose name I don't even know (and am not going to bother looking up) who appears to be older, whiter, and looking to the right is.
How do you feel about my hermaphroditic (she/her) lizardfolk warlock, Stalaxia?
(One also might make the argument that the two-party system and the monodimensional left-right approach to politics that it engenders is inherently polarizing and destabilizing, and is an inevitable result of running a first-draft democracy for longer than it should have gone without a v2.0.)
One might make the argument that the fundamental drives that impel someone towards progressivism, centrism, conservativism or maga-ism also incline one towards different strategies and interpersonal relationship types, and that some strategy types are better for the American system than others.

Shoulders in genuine physical pain this morning, mindset not much better. Logic circuits appear to be functioning, at least. Just gotta push through until the rest catches up.

Also, what happened to that shy millionaire fella? He seemed nice.
I maintain that Bond should have died with the Queen. He was always her spy, having him kill people for King Charles kinda sucks, actually.
The weird thing is.... I've had power fantasies. I dream, at times, of cowing others to my will. We all have, it's human nature to fantasize about such things.
I've never wanted *this*. Who wants *this*?

Maybe "achieve positive change by playing chicken with psychopaths over which side is willing to let people suffer for longer" was a bad system from the word go.
Y'know that diagonal sine wave chart of artists getting better vs seeing better, and therefore feeling better or worse about their own art?
I think it's unfair that the "seeing better" bit keeps going while you're burnt out.
"And don't get me started on Hall!"
Maybe a system where one achieves positive change by playing chicken with a mob of psychopaths over which of you is willing to let Americans suffer longest was a bad idea in the first place.

Taking a sleepy day today. Brain needs it.
It's not just images. I routinely write large text posts (often with what I assume is decent relevant insight to a topic being discussed and the occasional abstruse rhetorical flourish) and I have been accused, more than once, of being AI simply because I generated more than one paragraph.
It's a dick move to let your dog crap on the sidewalk and not pick it up.
It's a whole other tier of dick move to pick up that crap and whip it at the neighbour's bay window.
Inaction may or may not be a reflection of character, but *action* is always an expression of intention.
