More character sheets (thus exeeding my expectations and raising the bar higher than it used to be)

 My brain is full of fog and my memory is shot and all the pits of glass and marbles are falling all over the place.

But apparently I made 3 more character sheets for AF?? Which surprised me because I was sure Joy and Fear's was going to be the only ones I made. Not that I'm complaining! I'm just bemused XD




 I've now got... what? 2 more days until Art Fight starts again? So I probably won't make any more character sheets and just save my energy for the month-long battle ahead of me.
(She said, tempting fate.)

No, I don't want to tempt fate. I am merely stating an obvious fact and I hope my hubris won't trip me up just to prove how chaotic my hyperfixation is!
(Fate is smiling, and is still coming closer anyway)

It's getting close to that time of year again!

 Right! Had a busy week. Watched the IO2 movie. Had a dental appointment. Somehow made two character sheets for AF (with a third still a wip) and made a 20 panel comic in the span of 4 days.

Safe to say I am exhausted! But also content? I think? Or at least less anxious, which is a good start.

So yeah! Ah, here! These are the character sheets I made for Art Fight this year.

 



For years I've resisted the temptation to include my IO-sonas onto AF because I wanted them to be a "me" thing? if that makes sense? But after being obsessed with Inside Out for 4 months and watching the second movie I figured "If this year isn't the year I include my emotional kiddies onto AF, then it'll never happen" so I cracked and let all the pieces fall to the floor XD

I'm not gonna make character sheets for all 9 of my emotions (at least this year) but Joy and Fear are a good start. I'm looking forward to the fight this year! Should be a good and busy time!
And all I have to do is make sure I don't burn out before July starts. Lets see if I can manage that XD

Anxious Hugs all 'round

Anxiety still on the fritz, but considering I could turn on my laptop almost every day of the week and not feel the crushing weight of reality I think that's a good start!

And I feel like having my anxiety chill out is appropriate, considering the second IO movie came out this week.

I haven't seen the movie yet, but hopefully I will in a few days! And when I do, you bet I'm gonna get emotional and probably plan a whole bunch of drawing projects around those emotions.

But until then, I'm just glad I survive another week.

The brightest vamp you'll ever meet

Well. Been a hot minute since I've spent an entire week in survival mode like that. Anxiety has thankfully chilled out (a little) by now, but hm!  that was a slow and intense 7 days.

At least I made something before the weekly deadline for my blog, so that's something.


Now excuse me while I crawl under something comfy and turn out all the lights. There's a glowing vampire looming over me and it's called Life with GAD.

Pokemon Rogue doodles

 Still in the thick of burnout, but luckily a new game was brought to my attention and I've been spending a lot of time messing around in that. Made a few sketches inspired by the shenanigans I've been up to, but mostly I've been trying to take it easy and not tempt myself with drawing when I should be resting.



Hopefully in another week I'll feel less like death, but I won't mind playing more Pokemon Rogue in the meantime. It is very satisfying and fast-paced and challenging without being new or strange.
