50's Rock&Roll with a Hotdog sheep and a Country Zebra

 Howdy all! Heh, didn't realized I was pushing myself so hard until I stopped suddenly at the beginning of this week. Trying to do too many things too quickly. Didn't prioritize too great. Got stressed and fell flat on the floor for a hot second. Same old story.

But because I caught myself before my engines overheated, I think I'm okay. A little irritated and frustrated that I didn't do anything I wanted to do, but it be like that some weeks.
I'll have to pick up my art lessons seriously again afterwards... but not before I rest for a few more days.

Played Pokemon Arceus Legends a lot (obviously) but I also played Animal Crossing a few times this week. I find I enjoy ACNH the most when I'm stressed, because it's like "Head empty, no thoughts. Only cute animals and easy jobs to do." And I got reminded of how much I needed this game way back in 2020. And the ideas and stories I had for our villagers was fun to think about again too.

So I drew some gals just for old time's sake.

 Frita is an OG villager- she came with us when we first started to tame our wild tropical island, and Savannah was our first new neighbor after we had civilized Sanctuary enough for more people to move in.
Both of these girls have completely different vibes - one's a loud big sister type who's into rock&roll, and the other's a sweet country bumpkin - but both of them have the singing hobby, so that always makes me happy when I see them next to a jukebox or radio together singing their little hearts out.
They're quirky neighbors. But oddly fitting too. I think they have a beautiful friendship.

Anyway. Between the Animal Crossing stuff I've been doing and the one 50's song I blasted all day on Thursday, that's the reason why I drew this piece.

I'm thinking of drawing our other 8 villagers, all with a fun music theme or something. Ah, but I'll go with the vibes, If I draw something, I'll share it. If I don't, then that's okay too. (I really want to draw Buzz and Peggy together with some sort of modern pop song; Buzz would have no idea how do react and Peggy's just all energy and smiles. That sounds amusing) 

Hopefully I'll be back in business next week, but even if I don't I reckon I'll be fine.
I'll see you guys next week. Same time, same place. Have a good one.
