Brain: What if instead of drawing you just open Krita, left it open for a while, look at it intensely for a while and then close it and after that feel bad for not drawing anything?

...

Me: WTF

I watched some silhouette design videos and remembered Feng did some. I watched that man go from "here's solid black designs" to "and now you add color to the finished rendering and it control the viewer" in like 1 minute flat. I need another hobby.

I need to work on art and get this character going. Easier said then done. I love the design until I come back and look at it again 😭

Btw. instead of creating this brand new Mastodon account I actually should be working on some client projects :blobhaj_melty:​ Oh why is it always so easy to procrastinate and so hard to keep on track with the to do list? :blobhaj:​ #newhere #lazy #artishard

since these were lost to the migration. new environments and such for Quest of the Wizard's 2022 switch from Unity to Godot.

this is the brush I came up with. I don't know if this qualifies as a good brush, but you see how I used it briefly to start them off. I'm gonna select them and shade and such and see how it looks, but generally I think this will work.

I’m trying to show myself grace in my development for Season 3 of my game - but I’m also worried I’m showing myself too much grace.

If all art is autobiography, we’re getting to where my trauma and my characters’ trauma really overlaps… which is making the struggle to NOT procrastinate hard.

Between killing off a mother character and creating disillusionment for deeply beloved institutions, I’ve basically painted myself into a personalized gut-punch corner. Im hoping that the process helps we work thru some of it but I’m struggling just to bite off a tiny piece of the work, TBH.

I am just polishing a trailer for Season 3 - maybe if I make the promise to players I can motivate for them. Maybe.

as I work on the vineyard bit for this environment I realize that...no wait no, art is impossible, nobody lives long enough to finish art

So I go back on the horse (so to speak) after nearly three years and did a shoot with a model last night. Was great fun, she was awesome company, really cool about having her own input into the creative process and I'm really happy with the results. Problem is that I am a) supposed to be working and b) sitting in a Pret à Manger in South Kensington and expect I would be asked to leave if I started editing in here... #photographerproblems #artishard #artistproblems
