#drawings from or finished up today. You can probably tell where I got tired. CW, futuristic firearms and cartoon but bloodless violence.

yesterday I watched a YouTube thing about D&D art by edition. The OSR dude (with obvious bias) talked about grimy, gritty 1e-2e art versus the young adult fiction/superheroic look of 5e art.

This gets me realizing part of why I like 4e's art most; 4e art's got some of the technical polish I really like in 5e, but it's still obviously different styles, different artists. In a subtle and probably unintended way it says "there's no one way to run or play D&D."

#drawing from Tuesday that I was too depressed and upset to post till now. Oddly pretty much the opposite of vent art.

This post brought to you through the realization that Mozart had THREE cool names, which is not really fair, and most known classical composers have really cool names (Erich Wolfgang Korngold is fucking badass, and Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco is up there too).

grateful for the amazing legacy of music but I feel like we missed a great opportunity to have a John Williams Jazz Trio including both the guitarist and the composer/pianist (there’s gotta be a drummer named John Williams out there)

Something great about Seattle not obvious from the outside is we have a jazz and blues station. Unfortunately for me, they double as the NPR news station, so I can’t listen during peak commute hours without being hit by, you know, THIS.

It’s not currently peak commute hours.

lately my emotions have vacillated between denial and negotiation - you know, maybe it's not so bad, maybe there's something I can do about all this - and feeling completely drained of energy and emotionally low, versus being enraged. I'm sure there's a word for this.

since I know all the stress is basically about pacing, taking a break is definitely improving the pace of feeling trapped, stuck, and treading water. This was a good idea, let's check the weather for the next few days *click*

tomorrow it clouds up and this weekend temperatures drop. Okay then.

you know what; I slept poorly, I've been alternating being completely furious and barely able to push myself forwards for days now, and it's very clear work's not going to give me anything of its own volition, and it's very clear terrible people still get to win everything.

Therefore, I am playing hookey.

every fucking year I'm a little less valid

It's wild to be 13 years out from John Carter.

You can tell this movie's set in a desert, it's got Lawrence strings with Lawrence chorus.

thanks for the feedback re Bluesky - I guess I just had about 30-60 minutes of screwy connection.

Also is Bluesky fuxx0red for anyone else?

I love how every fucking adult in the goddamn world thinks I have all the goddamn energy and all the goddamn time to hop to whatever dumb ass shit they’ve decided I need to do for them and right now

It’s like I’m stuck being eight years old for my entire goddamn existence

And if that’s all existence is then I’m going to go get a knife and a sink of hot water and I’m going to leave

“that’s the thing about Europe, the little differences. You know what they call the Pound Puppies in Paris?”
“they don’t call ‘em Pound Puppies?”
“no man, they got the metric system. They don’t know what the fuck a Pound Puppy is. They call ‘em Les Pitous.”
“Les Pitous. *laughs* What do they call the Care Bears?”
“Les Ours Affecteux.”
“What do they call My Little Ponies?”
“I dunno, man, I didn’t go into JouéClub.”

Anyway rather than obsess about where I fail as an artist here are yesterdays #inks

*puts on Juno Reactor*
oh yeah, it's the part of the movie where Keanu fights that dude with his hacker gong fu, and he's like WHOA.

Things you can sing in place of “My Little Pony”; “Coppergate helmet”

… Sutton Hoo/Gjermandbu helmet also works.
