(Most of my episodes in the past, other than the finale, were about 3-4 pages 🫠 Granted it averages about 3 panels a page, but still haha)

-slowly raises hand- can confirm unfortunately 😓 thank goodness it never got to the point of needing surgery but I could barely pick up a toothbrush for a couple months, let alone draw. It's about two years later and I'm slowly easing back in to making progress again on my main project.

It feels so weird not drawing him with a perpetually-pissed-off expression. He almost looks like an entirely different person. Which I guess is the point. But still. 😆

Many bugs that cross his line of sight do not live a long life and he kills them with an intensity that would probably be categorized under "concerning".

For reasons I can't get into yet-- Pravus heals quicker than humans. In the sense of, if you're diligent about it, you can generally stop the bleeding faster with him than you can a human.

Oh, definitely! Idk if I can dedicate the time to another whole run but I've been looking some of them up on youtube since I've played through it and generally know where things lay in the timeline. Plus I can play them in the background while I'm working on stuffs.

I've just accepted that the fanart has to run its course or else l'll combust.

Tumblr is the one place we can write the internal thoughts Out Loud and its not only common practice, it's encouraged. 🤣

I wouldnt just die for these characters. I would comb through pages and pages of military jargon for these characters if it meant they survive. Do you know how much of a feat that is to accomplish from a writing standpoint-- to get your audience to care THAT much? Haha

No one asked LOL, but here's a couple of my favorite physical pieces I've done with acrylic. Still not sure where to put the red one 😆

3. (pt.2) I already knew photoshop inside and out, after all.
As far as art specific classes, though-- they've been somewhat few and far between. I have been mostly self taught, and it's probably why forward progress has felt so slow moving at times, haha

3 (pt.1). I have a degree in graphic design that also involves some videography. I figured it was something I had a better chance at a day job with, it expanded my creative skills, and it was also related to my interests while I build up to working for myself as an artist and writer some day.

A little out of order but we probably won't get to 11 anyways so LOL
I dunno that there's many pieces I've gave up on entirely. A lot of them are of my angel characters oddly enough XD Usually when something with the whole composition or something feels off. Have a very old one tho for funsies haha

1. I prefer digital in the majority of applications just because it's what I've been most comfortable with, but there is absolutely something satisfying about having a physical piece of media when I'm done that I just Have. ❤️

At least it's good practice. In no other point of my life would I have been able to or much less attempted to draw a passable turian. They're absolutely fascinating alien designs but boy are they complex 😅
