Such a great idea! A removable stocking tattoo. I would love to try this but I can't see any references of it on Black skin.

Hmmm. Started this in Blender 4.3 and then Blender 4.5 came out. Fortunately it didn't mess with what I had started. Everything is mostly Grease pencil.
I tried to replicate the fake Hilda BG I designed in a previous post. Looks like I need to figure out colour saturation.

Been using Blender for awhile. But finally making things like look nice. This tutorial by lacruzo on Youtube.
Blender 4.5 is out, this was made in 4.4. There are some changes to Grease Pencil.

In other news, procrastinated away a few hours by working by designing, drawing, and painting this piece. I've ditched Photoshop for awhile, working in CSP seems more natural now and less expensive.
Colours and art style were inspired by Hilda, the animated series. #hilda

Was in Toronto! Got to browse around Bakka Phoenix Books which surprisingly had a book with one of my stories at the till. Met @chineloonwualu.bsky.social who edited the book Ex Marginalia below.
Spent the rest of my money at TCAF. Got to shout out to Eye of Newt books too! Great selection.

One thing I like about Witch Hat Atelier, is that it connects to the experience of being a creative.
Here I am, churning out bits of this and that, that doesn't work with the vision I want for my books & being frustrated.
From another person's perspective though...

Got the Count of Monte Cristo from the library to read for my book club which focuses on Black authors.
This surprisingly thick-ass book is over 1000 pages. And what dumb MF rec’d this with my lacking attention span?

My first tomato soup with my new hand blender. Perfect!
I also thickened regular milk with the blender.
Both the custard and this were so simple and delicious that I’ll try more recipes next year.
