:D ! commentary on drawing process is fun - ngl, been inspired by your fic post-mortems and in general, writing dissections, so thought to pay it forward there. :>

(re: N64 sparesness - you know where it /really/ shows up is importing 3D models to sketchup and also trying out this whack cool site - https://noclip.website (i think that's the one; too lazy to go double check the link on the work computer lol) - turning off and on the shading and textures shows the "bare metal" polygons and how little they worked from, in terms of geometry. so cool by itself. )
