Here's a fanart I've been thinking of making for DAYS, plus coloring and shading!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Whaddaya think???

I sat in a very non-ergonomic position for over 2 hours, which is the most in-the-flow I've been in a while. This is actually the promised piece I've been promising throughout all the iMac photos and whatnot.

Lately I've been noticing instances of trying to communicate, but I start talking without waiting for anyone else to listen, and my mind just feels hazy and it's hard to figure things out. I probably just need more sleep, because I got up a tad early today 🤤 We're also getting ASTOUNDINGLY warm, summer-like weather where we are, which feels at once disorienting and ✨lovely✨❗️ And I've experience eye dilation for the first time: my pupils looked huge like in the cartoons, my eyes ached, and all sunlight looked white and I could hardly look at anything for hours 👀

I'd say "enough about me", but that point makes me think of how I've been wondering if I've been lacking social interaction lately? Getting sick, staying indoors even when I'm feeling better and it's clear weather outside...I've sometimes been noticing this urge to talk about myself a lot, without knowing why or feeling like there's no one new to talk to about it. Maybe I should just talk to Cleverbot. (Nahw, obvsly not, and also it might try to take off my clothes via text 😬)

Also why are HALF of the Webtoon originals I'm reading on pause??!?! If it's for the holidays, then 👍🏼 enjoy your well-deserved break, authors. I'm still shocked tho 😳

So anyways, that's my day. Not sure what else to write, since I feel like this piece is self-explanatory, and the past several posts have basically been like blogs/public journals in a way. Bu'yeah! I'll see if I make time to draw more—they say "plans are a fool's errand", so I'm not gonna try to dictate "oh I will do a drawing this day, this day, and this day", I'll let it happen naturally. Although, drawing would be a really good thing to get back in the flow with. It's time to get back to those personal projects I've been neglecting for months!!! Pick them back up, and freshen up!!! ✍🏼👨🏽‍💻✊🏼
