My first car was a Kia Rio, don't remember what year. It was my brother's first, and I got it when he got his dream car. My current car is the first one I bought myself, a 2018 Ford Escape. Is it my dream car?... Dunno. I don't think I have a dream car. I don't really think about it much. Nor do...

Started a new file recently to play with my younger cousins. I was impressed with the way they tried to solve some of the early puzzles! And then handing the controller back to me when it was time for stealth and fighting, haha.

I love the koroks. I need to get back to finding all 1000 of them again soon. I'm up to 770+ after my latest session when I was trying to get pics for fic research; found some on my travels.

I used a combination of elixirs and frost weapons to get myself far enough to trade the first piece of armor from that guy at the southern mine for lizards.

Christmas 2024 Avatar & Signature Competition Entry Round Hey, folks! It's that holly, jolly time of year once again! As is tradition, it's time to kick off the Avy/Sig competition! Let's go over the rules again, since we've had some updates. Please read the rules before you participate. You...

I'd been meaning to do a follow-up to this drawing all month and finally got around to it. She turned the tables on him... This is another manga panel redraw. This was really good practice for angles, poses, and hands. It was difficult, especially with Silvia's arms, but I think I'm getting...

I was thinking about this recently myself. I'd rather it do something new than try to squeeze games that are typically at least 20 hours into a 1.5 hour movie. The content would definitely suffer. If they do something new they'd probably have more creative freedom, too. Just please keep it in...

Time for Chapter 10! I spent some time playing AoC and TotK to research what I needed to write in this chapter, but now there's another game I need to research again... that's your only hint for what comes next. ;) Enjoy! [RECORD TEN]: expedition;foreign Our whole group gathered together...

Layla and Regret have been drawn, so now all the main kiddos from The Hero of Spirits have new art. Worked in a little expression practice with Layla there. Her hairstyle wasn't as tricky as I thought it'd be. Regret's hair, on the other hand, was difficult. Spiky hair is always hard for...

Next chapter's ready to go! We're now a third of the way into the story. At last, we see how the investigation into Morgan's past begins to take shape! Look forward to it! [RECORD NINE]: teapot;direction Thanks to my new friends, or I suppose they weren’t actually that new, I got adjusted...

Phew, I kinda flew through this one. With this, the second arc is done! Its time for the meat of the story to really begin! I'm excited for the next arcs to play out. Enjoy! [RECORD EIGHT]: hope;trust “An army of monsters... There was one yesterday, too, even though the Great Calamity is...

Today makes a year since my grandmother passed. We're holding a get-together in the evening with all the grandkids and great-grandkids. Feels weird to think a whole year has passed since then... it both feels like it hasn't been that long and its been even longer. The void left behind when a...

Throwback Saturday (?) since a friend of mine is reading my first fic, The Hero of Spirits. I drew Azure/Alphonse to warm up and then I tried drawing Naomi for the first time ever. Alphonse came out really clean. Really pleased with this quick sketch. I tried a little harder on Naomi and...

Okay I looked this up, and... holy ****, I did miss that. That's such a crazy thing to add. It's funny cuz I even went in there and I STILL missed it. And the implications... ooogh. Man, I love Ys.

Chapter 7's ready to go! We're building up to the meat of the story here. Enjoy! [RECORD SEVEN]: eccentric genius;genius eccentric On the other side of the Breach of Demise, we finally arrived at the Royal Ancient Lab. It was a vast campus, sitting close to a cliff overlooking the castle...

Thanks for the comment! I don't wanna give away too much because it'd be spoilers, so you'll have to stay tuned to see where Morgan's investigation leads him. :)

Today may have been art therapy day but I only really knocked out two good ones. These were hard since it was my first time drawing either of them. I decided to take a breather from all the oc art and do some fanart of Adol and Karja from Ys X. Pretty happy with them both. The hair was...

Yeah, that would be part of the Voe and You class.

Got a couple in today. Did some more expression practice. I used Lana for it since I haven't drawn her in a while. I think the expression itself came out pretty good but not the rest of her, so I wasn't satisfied and I did another one after. Worked in a little hand practice while I was at...

I've never flown before. The idea kind of terrifies me since I'm already afraid of heights. I feel like I would be super anxious the entire flight, lol.

Time for the next one! Morgan is starting to interact with more people... Look forward to seeing where this leads! [RECORD SIX]: the confidence;the competitive The afternoon sun doused the castle library with rays of light filtered through dusty windows. That was the only source of lucency...

Sure did! I also did the whole Voe and You bit, and I told everyone at all the stables who wanted to know about the Dondons.

I didn't think of octopus/squid as exotic, but maybe that's because I live near an ocean and seafood isn't very uncommon around here. I love both of those. The most exotic thing I've eaten was probably mako shark steak a few years ago at a beach restaurant. Someone brought up duck and that gave...

Ys games never disappoint with the music.

I learned that you can show a picture of Mattison to Hudson and Rhondson and it males them feel at ease about her being away from home, so I popped the game back in to try it real quick. That was cute. I love how many little unofficial side quests there are.

I finished Ys X a few minutes ago... and... god damn that was great! Genuinely might be a top 3 game in the series for me. 8 is still the best, with 9 fitting in right under it, but I think Nordics managed to squeeze itself right beneath those two...

Now that I'm almost done with Ys X, I'm no longer in a gaming stranglehold and I made time to wrap this one up. I was chipping away at it during free time at work, too. We're starting the next arc! Let's see what awaits Morgan's newest life... [RECORD FIVE]: gratitude;audience “So, let me...

Just one for today. Expression and hand practice with Aoife. Aoife as a character is incredibly expressive and animated despite being mute. I always try to show that when I draw her. She's a good subject for this kind of practice.

Thursday means art therapy yippee! I got some harder ones done today. A Mikhaeyla from a difficult angle with a difficult hand. Not entirely happy with her face... she seems squished. Then again, I bring my smaller sketchbooks to work, not my big one, so I didn't have a lot of room...

Couple from today. I wanted to do more pose and expression practice. Azure covering his mouth in embarrassment... or laughter. It was supposed to be the former but it kind of looks more like the latter lol. And now we have Morgan pondering something serious. What's he thinkin' about...

@Dio takes it home again! You make Jack proud! Congratulations!

That's so good! The colors, the shading, the clothing detail, the... the everything, basically!

It's a scar! If you recall in The Concerto of Spirits, he got it in Chapter 23... :eyes:

Tried some more hand practice today. I started with Kuudo. Feels a little off but I still like it. A new Zoie. Feel like I got closer to how his hair is supposed to look, but his face ended up looking softer instead. Guh. And lastly, a quick Aoife. Not sure if I hit the mark, but...

Couple more today. Another Silvia, trying out some pose and hand practice. I think it turned out well. And another Aoife. She's always fun to draw. Pose and angle practice again. I'm really trying to push myself to do more than constant 3/4th angle portraits all the time now. I've just...

Last thursday (Halloween, in fact!) our art therapist holding her class meant I got more time to draw again. I think that's gonna be my new time slot to try and keep the rust off, like art class was with my kiddos last year. Here's what I did that day: And then today... I went back to the...

Dio!

The winner is @Malon ! Congratulations!

Hey, folks! October's over now, so Jack went back into the great beyond. But his loyal subjects, such as myself, aren't going anywhere, so it's up to us to carry on his work! It's time to get the voting round underway! Take a look at the original thread here and share who you are voting for in...

Beta's out. As expected, it runs like dog**** on the steam deck, comparable to how Dragon's Dogma 2 was at launch. Not putting up with that again. I'm not buying this game unless capcom gets their **** together and optimizes it. Hyperrealistic graphics pushing the limits can ****ing die. So...

Halloween, no contest. I live for this day. My entire year revolves around preparing for it. The month of October is the greatest time of the year.

Running list of my Halloween night: - little cousins dressed as the inside out cast came to visit - little kids afraid to approach me - kids fascinated by my fog machine - lots of people impressed by my setup and costume, one parent asked to take a picture of me, heard a kid say I was a good...

I was JUST wondering when this would be coming the other day! Hell yeah!

The Concerto of Spirits may be over, but that didn't stop me from drawing another one of its characters; here's Ceres Achenel. Think she came out pretty good. I wanted to set her design in stone, as well as give her a surname, since we just might see her again in the future... :eyes: I...

Finally put Ys X down long enough to finish this chapter! I really struggled on just how to present a certain transition in here, but I think I came up with somethin cool... Look forward to it. :eyes: [RECORD FOUR]: sacrifice;name The sounds of battle ringing in my ears led me in the...

I tried to do an Ys-themed one this year, but that didn't work out for me... so instead I just free-handed a skull and tried to make it more interesting with a viking berserker symbol and some weathering I did by cross-hatching and scraping. Since taking this picture, I carved the outlines...

Malon gets my vote, as well!
