Think I like the weird off colour sickness of this palette a lot more.

If I could go back in time I'd tell myself not to bother trying to draw linen in pixel art but I've already done this several times.

Better

Maybe I should call this one Saint Sebastian Gets Off, he looks far too pleased.

With this one/future attempts I really wanna pare down how many colours I'm using. By the end of my kashimashi piece I was realising how much I overcomplicated things and I decided to just get it done and simplified colours down, but its something I wanna try going forward.

I didn't like Stormblood first time round but I'm enjoying it more this time. Still absolutely adore Heavenward but then, I love dragons so of course I do. Shadowbringers is, of course, pretty damn good and I was about 1/3 of the way through Endwalker before the FC I was in imploded and I moved.

And woodcuts for that matter. Lots of single colours and focus upon shapes and I'm interested to see if the textures of printing would work because it's kind of blocky, very outline oriented and high contrast and I reckon that could work.

I'm redoing Saint Sebastian, Ophelia, possibly the Lady of Pain and then hopefully couple of statues, a nymph or two, the Lady of Shalott, and Narcissus. Yes I am slightly enamoured of pain, what of it? Also, dragons. I want to see if medieval dragon designs could translate to pixel art.

But like any time there's a blip, as there is in ANY relationship, monogamous people love to go "oh it's because you're poly" as though communication issues don't happen on the daily to monogamous people.

They no longer like me. Oh well. That's their prerogative and I am not interested in it. It wasn't much of an argument so much as me saying "actually I don't want to argue with you", then them arguing at me and if they wanna do that that's their problem. I am too old for it.

I communicated badly, which led to the argument. Did they turn blow it out of proportion? Absolutely. But frankly life is too short, especially when my boyfriend of 7 years has cystic fibrosis.

And do I know my boyfriend respects and loves me? Yeah. Do I respect and love myself? For the most part.
