Trauma recovery is not entirely about tolerating or pushing through discomfort. Building realistic comfort & safety into our lives matters-- especially when we grew up around people & institutions that valued neither our comfort nor our safety.
We NEED rest. We NEED laughter.

A bit more sketching of Lexl, as well as his big brother Cielo who he lives with full-time and who takes care of all the adulting around their place. They live in Makeshift Junction out in Elseways' northeastern desert, in a small house up in the rock-strewn hills.

There's something out there only you can do
Something essentially yours
One special key that belongs to you
Opening all of your doors
Over the years as you learn and grow,
Mastering all you can be
Maybe you'll find a new way to go
And maybe you'll set yourself free

This was just a quick before-bed sketch but I like how it turned out enough to post. Lexl is coming into his own as a character, I think. He's young enough to still enjoy being a kid, and free enough that he doesn't worry about a whole lot.

Lexl's overall look is coming together nicely. These sketches went right to left in the order I drew them, so you can see how I'm getting his facial shape and hair more consistent. One upside of being taur-shaped: you can carry a much heavier backpack.

Leonardo Xanthus Leyendas, or "Leo" for short, is a 12-year-old liontaur kid based on some exploration of what kind of fursona I'd have chosen for myself if I'd known about the fandom at that age. I'm not sure what his story is yet, but he might not need his own lore yet.

We need more comfort and joy this holiday season. Their opposites are anxiety and depression and there's way too much of those going around.

Blit's Puzzle is live on itch.io! I found a way to easily create Windows, Mac, and Linux executables, so I took the prototype I worked on a few weeks ago and put it up for the world to see.

If you'd asked me at 11 years old the standard "what animal would you want to be if you could be anything" question, I think my honest answer wouldn't have been a lot different than it is now. Some magical hybrid, possibly with shapeshifting powers, because that's just how I think.

I visited my friend last week and to my surprise, they told me that the kid I drew this dinosaur illustration for is still drawing now and then to this day!
That made my day.
Keep being creative, you can inspire the next generation about the value and love of being creative ❤️

One of the most fun bits of MST3K-adjacent trivia that doesn't get brought up enough is that the guy who played Sam the Keeper in Werewolf was also in Soundgarden's Black Hole Sun music video. Still wearing the trademark tiny red sunglasses, even!

The more time I spend with Brillig here as an avatar the more I like him. “Unconventional gryphon” is a design pattern I’ve always liked.

Thea Gilmore, “Sounds Good to Me” is very nearly about me and a subset of my friends.
Which song has lyrics that are your personal lore?
Not necessarily a fave song, or most listened, or even one you *like*
But a song that kind of scares you and makes you wonder if someone who knew you intimately well wrote it on a 3am purple slushie and doritos bender.

Something I've always wanted to see in an RPG: no random drops. There shouldn't be a 1/128 chance to get a rare item from killing a monster. Instead, make them all based on weird conditions, like "poison this enemy before killing it" or "never do more than 1 point of damage to it".

Carmina is sensitive enough in matters of spirit that she can detect something's wrong with the captain. He even picked his crew specifically so they couldn't see it, but she can. A curse, following him like a second shadow, that's been there his whole life.

I had trouble thinking of movies I've seen six times, because I don't watch a whole lot of movies in the first place and the ones I do I tend to just watch once. And then I remembered there's a whole collection of movies I have seen a lot.

Bleurgh. I got next to no sleep last night because I've come down with food poisoning. I'll spare the gross details, but I'm fairly confident I know what caused it (the Indian food I got Friday night for dinner) based on the colors involved. Feeling rotten the whole time, but slowly improving.
