“Use your gifts and your talents to greatest possible effect while you can. Spread joy wherever possible. Laugh at jokes. Tell jokes. Make puns and bugger the embuggerances. Read books. Read my books. You might like them. You might find something else you like even more than them. Look for these things in life.
Question authority. Champion good causes. Speak out against injustice. Do not tolerate bullies or bigots or racists or anti-intellectuals or the narrow-minded. Use your education to challenge them. Broaden their perspectives. Make the world you interface with a happier place.
These are your choices. Choices you have been fortunate to have been given, so don’t waste them while you have them. Don’t look back in years to come and wish you had grasped a fleeting opportunity. Grasp it now with both hands, Live. Strive. Love.”
from A Little Advice for Life taken from ‘Terry Pratchett: from birth to death, a writer.’
—Sir Terry Pratchett; April 28, 1948 – March 12, 2015
One of the greatest compliments I've ever received is that I resemble Sam Vimes.
Mind how you go.

A little advice from someone studying extremist groups: if you’re in a social media environment where the daily ubiquitous message is that you have no hope of any kind of future and you can’t possibly achieve anything without a violent overthrow of society, you’re being radicalized, and not in the good way.

Fanfiction Appreciation Post
Dark, complex, mysterious - a devastatingly good story IMO. (I have a mild obsession at this point, this ff is my emotional support animal rn :D) My artistic skills/mood is as good as dead nowadays, yet I have found myself doodling this weekend. I take the opportunity and promote this masterpiece, definitely deserves more attention.

Posting this for the people who think that Tolkien's world-building was something complete and entire and finished before he started to write.
You always learn and discover your story and your world as you write. Sometimes you are just the first reader.

Timelapse
Hey, now that the fancomic is finished (in case you missed it, you may find it HERE or on AO3), I wanted to share 3 short WIP videos - short due to speed-up.
I am not sharing them because I am so proud of them, quite the opposite. Recording made me realize how slow and unsure I have become with my lines since using digital pad. I always loved watching others' timelapse videos, and I hope that others might also find mine useful and encouraging. General nudity but not the most... critical frames. Still flagged as NSFW just in case.

Book Four - Final Touches 4
[last page] [first page] or read the finished pages on [AO3]
Not heavy stuff but better safe than sorry, I mark it as nsfw for sure and you may check it under the cut.

I really don't think this needs to be labeled as mature content (maybe the next ones), but let me know if you feel otherwise. Enjoy! <3

Line-work is fully done now, only thing left is to hide half of it with massive blocks of black, hah :D So, 'coming soon' I guess. I saved a lot of WIPs and recorded videos too*, which I post along the related page here.
Thanks for the patience <3 *drawing while recording is/was super cringe, watching it back is even worse. It must be a great way to practice/improve, but ugh. Anyway, it might be interesting to someone.

A small illustration for the most amazing Rin/Sesshoumaru (InuYasha) fanfiction I have had the luck to read, if that’s your thing please check it out here (but be aware it’s ongoing):
Song of the West by ophelly  
Pencil + PS cleanup and some shading... I forgot how relaxing can be to just add more and more details.
(And I should put together a fanfiction appreciation/recommendation post, there are so many pearls out there which don’t get the right amount of adoration.)

I don’t want to tease anyone with this post as that lesmis fan comic is kinda abandoned since 19 Dec 2020, and I really doubted I will ever feel like going back to it, or that it would make any difference after all this time.
The missing 5 pages didn’t even have any sketches, just some vague idea what I wanted to put there. However, last October I actually sit down and made the missing drafts (it took me only 2 days only), just to abandon the whole thing again - until this February. I am working on it, slowly bur surely, and what’s more important that I find enjoyment in it again. I am actually seeing some bare skin now, folks!
... and I guess it’s time to confess to myself that this whole fan comic was about drawing hands...? :’)  Seriously if it’s ever finished I’ll check how many frames are self-indulgent hand-porn out of total frame count.
