Oct. 26th, 2024 11:58 pm* had some unexpectedly good tuna tatare and elk at dinner tonight with the parents... we're all foodies so it was really lovely bonding over a quick night out <3 even got half of it for lunch tomorrow too!
* been on a truly massive drawing sprint since thursday night and finally finishing a lot of pieces i had been sitting at 80% on since forever. got an exchange piece done i'll talk about in the next "what have i done in the past quarter" post, literally putting the finishing touches on the 17 page feh strip right now, and got like.... three gunter/corrin r18 pieces done (all of them essentially style tests for the next hentai strip i wanna do). extremely worth it to take a PTO day from work to do that LOL. perfect collision of 'have the art drive somethin' fierce' and 'actually have the time to do it'. leveled up a ton on toning and you'll see it in the next few pieces posted. lowkey want to be in a position where people actually confuse me for a professional mangaka and i think... it's getting pretty close...
* meeting with [$somebody] on tuesday for big ~*long term quality of life improvements*~ that i'm really excited about, or at least significantly less anxious about.
* real excited for nagamas (fe exchange) and the gun kink exchange for the last two fandom events this year! :> those, the christmas card, a giftart for a fe fic, the dakimakura and maybe one other little thing (oh, selfshipper meme!) are the last standalone drawings i want to get out by the end of this year; all sounds pretty reasonable; i love being able to actually commit to what i actually start these days.
* media wise i also really want to finish this one last rev playthrough (which will be perfect for the hentai strip 8) but it also feels right to take a break from rev after this one, and maybe burn through fates: birthright real quick, since i'll be supremely distracted with the steam deck for the next two years most likely. got a few books and a movie called il futuro to also fire up if the drawing wrist is feeling cranky and needs a break (thankfully it's holding steady! i was a little concerned with cold weather coming up but it's doing all right with the two day marathon as long as i give it breaks.)
enjoying the quiet life ~
