Thanks to all the folks who gave me costume ideas! There is definitely more variety here than there would have been otherwise.

Today's scribblings. Hahli at the upper left was the first one I did (did a big Bionicle review if anyone wants to hear my thoughts on the series: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slpHB4OLWTA ) alongside the big me-face in the center (the melty one I did as the other sketches got drawn). The images at the upper right and lower left could both probably count as Dreamscape doodles since the upper right is some advanced vehicle that might be in that time period and the lower left is obviously of two of the characters (Stacy and Doko (https://www.deviantart.com/warahi/art/Fightful-Horizons-Page-4-869865392)), but I actually spent a bit of time resketching parts of the design for the vehicle as my mind kept trying to figure out how it would actually work. I eventually settled on it being that the "standing-mode" it's in there would drop back down and have the blue "arm" clamp onto the side of it and cover the "door" allowing the red part of the arm to form the "wall" of the area that it's popped out of. The elbow would lay on the ground as that's a wheel (the blue part that's "popped up there" allowing it to stand automatically pops out from the cushiony-flexible material unerneath it as the "arm" slides along the ground to stand up). The vehicle itself fires the two drill-spear-things into hard materials and sucks out whatever's inside.

This year's glow ups, despite billionaires trying to kill me:

I've gone from eating packet noodles to making vegan vegetable ramen with dumplings and different sauces most days and cooking so much more

from being tired from my chronic pain to exercising every day and having so many walks through the forest and on the beach and swimming and paddling in the sea

Losing weight and being happy with my body for once

trying new food (never thought I'd have mochi, korean food, indian curry, okonomoyaki, onigiri, ramen, etc.)

and going out to eat, so much!

Doing chores and cleaning way more as well as decorating and fixing and building things, our house is looking so nice now (and the depression mess is almost gone)

I finished the laundry pile!! And found out we have a billion towels and a trillion socks!

Being able to pay for things (big things! And furniture and tickets and travel and presents and food and a tree surgeon and a new wacom tablet and the bills whenever I'm needed)

going to comicon and actually being able to walk all the way round and wait in lines, let alone actually getting autographs

Identifying and keeping my distance from toxic people

learning to be who I am and looking after my partners mental health as well as my own

getting paid and doing art based jobs

designing logos and making and selling out of tshirts

designing stuff for a 3D printing company

getting back into making plush toys and finally learning embroidery so they would be neater and level them up

starting a webcomic and doing 3 and a half pages, even though it's been SO difficult learning all this technical stuff by myself as well as artistically, designing the characters, environments and colour theory. Even writing plot and dialogue has been new to me (I've only ever done smaller comics before)

Going life drawing, just to top up my anatomy skills and just because I like life drawing

Got a message from someone who has had a tattoo of one of my drawings from when i was a teenager that was for their mental health and they wrote me a long message saying that I GET IT, which is true

Drawing a LOT more than i used to

being in the newspaper???

selling paintings!

Keeping up with stuff that I've always done like: learning new recipes, going out with people, playing games and learning languages

And even trying so much new stuff that I wanted to do for years that I've learned what I DON'T like, which is great because now I can make new goals!

It's all stuff I thought I'd never do because of the chronic pain but, like, who is this?? This is the healthiest I've ever been in my life. I still have waaay long to go but every year I'm so shocked at how different my life is now

Anyway, I'm taking a break until the new year, I've been very busy!!! 🌟

A fed Dear is a happy and chubby Dear ♡ ~You can find my comic on Tapas and Also Webtoon!! (LINK in the Bio!)~ If you don't know what an Onigiri is... Let me explain: It's a type of japanese snak, It's a rice ball with seaweed, sometimes It has salmon, plum and soja sauce. It's very nice :D . . (ES)Un cariño alimentado es un cariño gordito y feliz ♡ Un Onigiri es una bola de arroz envuelta en alga nori, a veces puede tener relleno de salmon, ciruela entre otras cosas. Es como un snack japones. . . . #onigiri #japanese #japan #にほんご #おにぎり #webcomicseries #webtoon #tapascomics #RegularComicLife #akaicomics #webcomics #comics #animeinfluence #animereference #cartoonart #Cartoon #mystyle #comicartwork #art #artist #comicbook #webcomic #newcomic #newpost #oc #originalartwork #originalart #originalcharacter #digitaldraw #digitalcomic https://www.instagram.com/p/B9GaN4klHy-/?igshid=19qtem7miq4g0

In case you missed it, my archival project P.S. Triple Classic came to an end this past Saturday. Here’s the piece of fanart I drew for the final post.

I usually included reference notes with each comic, but didn’t for my own fanart, so here you go: the “SST Band” on Saygah’s shirt refers to the Sega Sound Team musical group of the same name.

Wait isn't that the art from the art from the Onigiri webcomics?

Yeah! It is. I said I was "colouring manga". Ngl it was pretty fun. I see people do that non stop, with some amazing results!

Love ya! UME ONIGIRI🍙 #dairycomic#webcomics#webcomix #comicartist#comicstrip#drawingoftheday#illustrate#comicillustration#originalcomic#draws#design#cómicoftheday#drawingofinstagram#drawingstyle https://www.instagram.com/p/B-sO0w8FSUD/?igshid=uqohfq0aqh62

Potential combat is balanced on a razor's edge. About time the manager showed up.

This was so fun to draw. And about time one of these characters finally has a proper name. Pepper. Question… for the comments. What's a time when someone saying your name stopped you in your tracks? I come from a household where someone saying your full name means you know you know you're in trouble.

Feel kinda...not bad so much as...irked that I haven't been getting things up lately. Just that haven't had the time. Lot going on at the moment with packing for the move to Ohio this next month and putting together a video of the Resident Evil storyline for our landlady that I hope to get done before then.

With all the hassle of that video-making I got to thinking of some ideas for designs for if I were to make a character out of Flash Drives. Look kinda cute to me. Below that is Doko (the hero of my comics) making off with a riceball with Stacy chasing after. Got a more classic-looking Metroid grabbing onto Samus. For Sideways there in the lower right it was kind of me messing around with his more "supernatural" feeling aspects. Out of all the characters in Transformers he always felt the most like a more "demonic" character to me, and in my version I definitely would emphasize that, especially given his connection to Unicron. And finally there's a bit of me in the upper right. Just always hear those “complaints” and “worries” from people literally every generation so I doodled myself giving my thoughts on the issues.
