Contempt and Acceptance

 Right! So, posting a day earlier this week, because I shall be away from my laptop for the weekend! Going to spend a few nights in a cabin without my laptop, which will be a nice change of pace but will also mean I won't have the means to share whatever art I had made this week. I debated leaving it til Sunday, but I do like checking off things from my "to do ASAP" list, so figured this would be a good use of my anxious energy.

... Although this isn't exactly something I drew this week, but you know what? Close enough! I'm still art blocked and anything is better than nothing XD 

Disgust might never drink alcohol in her life, but she'll still act like a shot of apple-juice is something she can drown her complaints in and I love her for that.

Season of Roses; Spirit of Spring

 Despite not having drawn much for the past few weeks, the month of November seems to be half done already! And while normally I'd like to point to something I had made during the week, the only notable things I have done weren't done with pens or paper. Knitting and embroidery needles, yes! But trying to take any pictures to show off on this blog feels a little more complicated than I'm willing to commit to XD

Instead, I found a piece I made last month during a time when I was obsessively thinking about some of my RK kiddies... but in an alternative reality where some events heavily changed aspects to the characters and story as a whole. 

 

 Some of the changes and knock-on effects for this alternative story have absolutely and thoroughly enchanted me. And one of which was this piece I made in an attempt to articulate how much I loved Lapis' new flavor of friendship with one of her mates.

It's a simple lil piece, but something that still makes me very happy to look at. I was very pleased with how the colors turned out despite only working with blues, greens and pinks. I hope to do something like this again one day, if the inspiration and motivation allow it. <3

Burn Bright. Fall Hard.

Okay, so I was wondering if last week I was being a little dramatic and jumping the gun for saying "I might have artblock"

But not so this week! Now I know for certain I've got an art blockage. If even the thought of drawing makes me want to curl up in bed and sleep for an extra 2 hours, then that means something is up in the waters! XD

So yeah. Haven't drawn anything much this week, but I have rediscovered the joy of embroidery, and maybe I'll even dive into knitting and sewing over the next few days too! Writing and reading is also an option on the table, if I'm gonna have more time for things that aren't drawing every waking moment of my day. So that should be fun! 

In the meantime though, here's something I drew a week or two ago! Mostly just a way to keep my hand busy and give myself some color and movement.

Seems as good a week to wear something different, I guess!

Whelp! That's another month ticked off the list. Only 2 more before I start seriously thinking about screaming into the void or staring into the abyss.

To make things interesting for the beginning of November though, I am obliged to announce I've got Artblock! Or I think I've got artblock? It's definitely not burnout for once (much to the shock of everybody) but drawing has been kinda like hitting my head against a brick wall the last few days. So that's been interesting! We'll see how long that lasts, I guess!

In the meantime, I've been making sure to limit my usual temptations to draw the last few days (Pokerogue has been helping with that) but of course that didn't stop me from trying to draw more art of my Emotional kiddies anyway XD 

Between nostalgia for an old vampire idea I had last year, a private joke I've got in my brain about comparing my Fear to Spiderman, and the insane desire to try drawing an Assassins Creed outfit for the first time in a decade, I made these over the course of an afternoon earlier this week!

Seemed as good a time as any to indulge all those fancies. If I couldn't have drawn them at the end of October, when could I? XD
