Finished The Outline For This Page Today; Still Not Sure How I Want To Go About Shading Larger Areas

Finished the outline for this page today; still not sure how I want to go about shading larger areas so leaving it like this for now. Looks basic but whatever. Still hate cursive. Also imagine having such a massive hubris that you fall for Bill's flattery--it would take a lot more to inflate my pathetic little ego. My ego is currently a bookend in my brain. My ego is a coaster getting soggier by the minute from a Sprite can. It is Shrodinger's cat. It's the pen that ran out of ink forever ago but I keep forgetting and try to use it every couple of days and still forget to throw away. It's the bag of DnD dice I haven't properly used in like a year but only bring out to shake it violently so I get dopamine from the clicky clacky sounds.

Anyways Warm Regards,

Sam

I don't consider myself a writer but...

Me today: hmm, I wonder how many words I've written. I mean, I don't write much but I have a decent little collection of this one storyline.

Me, copy-pasting all the random chapters and stories into one doc, watching the word count go higher and higher: hmm...

Me, seeing that I have over 52 thousand goddamn words for a fanfic with a damn OC/self-insert: what the H-E-Double Fork.

Me: huh, wonder what that means for my little side project then, cause that one's barely anything, right? Just one I dabble with every now and then, nothing more.

The "little" project in question: 22.5 thousand words.

Thought I might as well put this page here cause it's fully done; I've finished the Floating Eyes and bat pages except for the photos (still need to find the care to draw them out) so I'll post those when they're done. This is definitely one of my favorite projects. Actually, it's the largest project I've attempted by far, and it's already given me many conversation points (it's about 50/50 someone cares to hear about ciphers though. I always carry 5 different types on me).

If someone has any tips or advice as I remake this book, please let me know! especially with weathering the book in a way that doesn't ruin the writing/art. I tea-stained all 3 books I'll be using but it just doesn't look right. If you think it looks fine and I'm focusing too much on it, also let me know!

Warm Regards,

Sam

Almost done with these pages :) I'm not done with the Cursed Doors pages quite yet (or at least enough that I would want to post) but still wanted to put somethin' out there. I hated drawing this man's damn hands (both the portrait and the damn x-ray), but ya know it's not horrible so it's okay. I also like to think that my cursive is getting better, but after a bit my hands always get shaky :/

I'm not quite sure how to do the brown shading that's on these pages (and lots of others) but I can always come back to them later to touch them up.

Warm Regards,

Sam

What to do with this

I think I'm just going to keep making posts because I'm bored and it's Sunday. Uuuuuhhh I guess I should tell the Tumblr void about myself... right? Sure. Sounds about right.

So yeah I'm 17, and have been homeschooled for almost my whole life. It's nice, so long as you don't care to have a normal social life or teenage experiences. My brother, who's 15, is also homeschooled but somehow has a normal social life because of all the theater he does and makes connections there.

Let's see. I'm asexual, agender/gender-neutral, and definitely on the aromantic spectrum. Not sure if I'm demi-aro or grey-aro, but suffice it to say I'm lacking a lot in the attraction department. My brother calls me gay whenever people aren't looking, and I'm too tired to correct him at this point. I prefer they/them pronouns, but I think I would enjoy the occasional neopronoun (as a treat).

In terms of what I like, I'm inconsistent with my media consuming, but I enjoy art (even though I'm horrid 95% of the time, the other 5% is great), journaling (I'm on my 7th, I started in 2022 as a New-Year's resolution), and traveling. Traveling is a favorite of mine, though it's not like I can do that every day.

Anyways yeah. Have a nice day.

Warm Regards,

Hello! I did this drawing for a DM/friend a while ago, and thought I'd post it here cause I think it turned out nice :)

My friend created the creatures and I took his descriptions and facts and came up with this design; he was very happy with it. Unfortunately the campaign they were used in was cut off cause no one could find the damn time to do sessions (freaking choir people, they have no time for life I swear). Anyways, I really like drawing in this style even if it took a while.

I feel like so many people on this website do digital art but I don't have any of the stuff for that so I will only be posting physical art I've done; apologies that I'm not great at taking pictures of them (as you can tell from my previous posts).

Warm Regards,

Sam
