Kitchen Visit

 Hm. Nearing ever closer to December, I see... Feels like it should already be over to me. But it's not. 

...

The Laptop hasn't been treating me well this week. Drawing on paper has felt a lot more natural and painless then anything I've tried to do on CSP. Which sucks, but what else can you do? I'm riding it out the best I can.
But obviously I still needed to post something on here. So I dug around in my folders and found this little unfinished picture of mine.

So here it is. I guess.

 Drew this back in mid October, but never got around to finishing it (or posting it)... I think it was one of those Inspired moments that go as quickly as they come. But that was fine, because it meant I could draw the Castle Kitchen for the first time.
A very important location in UV. Well, for the children anyway...

Backgrounds give me a lot of trouble. Especially ones where I have such a clear mental picture in my head from like... hours of daydreaming.
Which is weird because that feels like that should give you less trouble. But it doesn't.

Anyway. The little Charles spaniel cook is one character that's firmly rooted in Midnight's permanent staff. Her real job is at a little bakery a few streets down, but she spends a lot of her time helping Midnight prepare meals for all his starving orphans.
She's sweet and very practical, and enjoys all the shenanigans at Sanctuary Castle with a good sense of humor.
Pretty sure she eventually marries one of Reginald's brothers, too. So yay for strong blood-thirsty wolf husbands!
She was fun to draw. Very round and curly and petite~ <3

The kids are just... generic, I guess. Although I have come up with some fun powers for Sunny (the rabbit). His ability is kinda healing magic? But solar powered. So if he scratches himself or something his body just regenerates super fast if the sun is out.
And the opposite is true if it's cloudy; his body just doesn't know what to do and kinda does nothing to help his bruises and cuts if it's dark.
So you'll either see him super bright and healthy or covered in scars that refuse to heal. There is no middle ground.

He'll make for a fun adventurer, that's for sure...

But that's enough of that for now.
I'll be meandering off into the sunset. Got nothing else to write about anyway.

I hope you guys have a nice weekend, wherever you are and whatever your doing.
*waves*

HufflePuff Girl

 Whelp, almost 8 now. Haha, but I don't mind.

This week has been a whole lot better for me than last week. Low bar, sure, but I'm actually pretty happy right now.

Got the new Steam Powered Giraffe album this week, as well as drew a lot of Pokemon stuff, and I'm almost at the Elite 4 in my Nuzlocke game. Only one other Pokemon has died on me so far, but nothing I couldn't recover from.
That's pretty good in my books!

Anyway, here's what I've decided to share with you all tonight!

Ooh, a Harry Potter Wizard Girl with Spider~ I wonder who this could be?

I thought it would be best to do something easily and fun for a change, instead of pushing myself to new and difficult heights that would've brought me to tears even in a good mood. So when a Harry Potter song came up in my Discover Weekly list on Spotify, I was like "... Eh, sure. Let's draw a HufflePuff wizard. Nothing else is working today."

The HP dress code is basically everything I love? Long robes with hoods, fancy colourful ties and the potential for fun patterns and skirts.. It's great! And so satisfying to draw.

It was also the first thing in a few weeks that didn't feel like pulling teeth. *thumbs up* 

Anyway. It's pretty late, and I have things to do now.
See you all next week, then. <3

It's Friday Afternoon, not Saturday Night... *shock*

 Okay, so I just started doing my drawing exercises a literal minute ago and I'm now crying.
I have no idea why this keeps happening. I've been crying almost all week any time I try to draw something.

It's now been three weeks, brain. I have Things to Do. I don't want to take another week off because you feel like any frustration is intolerable, so you shut everything down...
This isn't fun.

I have Things to Do!

(...)

These two drawings were the only things I could manage this week. I don't mind them, but I don't love them either.
I literally can't do better than this.


I'm tired of crying when there's work to be done.
If this happens for a 4th week in a row I'm calling fowl.
