Sent this to the design department with the note that I know my character drawings tend to be on the tall side so the model sheets could be closer to this or the other artists' proportions.

And whatever this was.

More Fionna and Cake season 2 The Hare and the Sprout boards. Drawing Huntress Wizard feels like breathing to me now.

I know what I'm doing.

One of my few unsullied good memories was getting to sit in on the voiceover recording of this episode. Zach said he wanted this image as a poster and that this might be his favorite episode (who knows –maybe he said that about every episode he recorded). Made my LIFE at the time.

Another Steven Universe Future ep, 'In Dreams'. I think this one has the most "me" in it. Super meta, it wove together with my waking and sleeping life that sounds cool in retrospect but was kinda overwhelming at the time.

Steve Universe Future 'Volleyball' was my first time boarding an episode of anything. Kicked my ass but my adhd loves all-or-nothing challenges and I had an incredible (still an understatement) board partner in Etienne. It beats ass.

WIPs of a promo piece I never finished for Steven Universe: The Movie. Based on some Rockman & Forte key art bc parody is about the extent of my imagination.
Abandoned it cuz I was busy boarding on Distant Lands?

Oldposting Steven Universe doodles on my phone I still like.

Some more close-up views. Really like how the Nina constellation turned out. It was this rare frictionless case of "I have a concrete idea. Here's how I want to realize that idea. I'm executing upon it. Oh cool, it looks exactly how I wanted"

My "notes" while attending @kendramelton.bsky.social's online character design class last year. The coffeemaker robot guy was a really charming design by a classmate i couldn't help doodling myself.

Pic before I went to town on this snow day udon. Not my best arrangement and my worst hard-boiled egg ever but I was starving and it tastes great.

Small highlights from this week:

-Cheat day pancakes
-Increasingly rare home-cooked meal.
-Fox friend. Seeing lots of foxes, deer, blue jays and cardinals on these chilly autumn morning walks.
-No pic but dentist says my gums and teeth look gr8. Payoff for cutting added sugars and bubble tea.

Me googling "Is sincerity still cringe 2024" and running into my biography

Realized after the fact I had my mic on the entire duration of this week's Discord figure drawing. Fortunately for the other guys it must've been the first time in my life I wasn't soliloquizing.
This guy had ONE umbrella pose in him.
