\Lets out a long deep sigh, takes off glasses, and rubs temples\ Using references is not cheating. Period.

discord users, make your voice heard and send your complaints to support.discord.com/hc/en-us/req... ! they'll need to address this or face the backlash.

second to last of these AHRT refs of ours - @koalaphoenix.bsky.social

I know it's not meant to, but hearing "Ti was so influential/impactful to me and is the reason I found myself and transitioned" from folks who have surpassed me in every way really hurts sometimes. Most times. Not because I begrudge you, but because it's something I've been denied.

Oh, yesterday was the 4th anniversary of me drawing again and thus Transincidental.

Transincidental #82, Shay the Shark (p1)

Anyway. Enough depression posting. First pic is the prototype for Transincidental, drawn Feb 20, 2021. Second is from this week. Neither drawn with references, aids, "cheats," or anything. Just whatever came out of my hands. It's the best measure of progress for me.

I lost a lot of faith in people when one of the smartest people I had known IRL, a leftist, began berating Democrats constantly, never criticized Rs, blamed Ukraine, and hasn't even FLINCHED over Trump's plans for Palestine. He blocked me everywhere when I pointed it out.

I've been freehanding hands (lol) for pretty much every drawing for the past like... 10 days? Hands are hard, but holy shit I'm better at them than I used to be. By MILES. Not perfect, but I can see a huge amount of improvement, and that's what matters.

This still classifies as doodling.

Trying to get back into drawing properly has meant trying to unlearn my bad habits, stop using my cheats, and stop worrying about some art things. My natural inclination is to draw "hoof" feet. I get self conscious because people said something about it a long time ago...

Still struggling to get "organized" work done, including proper thanks and comic pages. But I have been doodling a bunch, building up steam again. Today's doodles had another finished 🦈 Shay in them.

Doodles today to overcome the big sads and anxiety.

The doodles and scribbles, and the thing that accidentally became Not A Doodle

NEW TABLET FINALLY ARRIVED! I have a proper thank you planned, today was pretty much just doodles to break it in and remember how to draw. But thank you so, so much for your support, because...

Do you know how I determine if compliments are fake? When they are given. Did I ask for them? Was I fishing for them? Did I say or post a thing? Or were they completely out the blue? I don't get them randomly. That makes it hard to believe any positive feedback.

"Things aren't so hot here either, they may be getting bad soon." Yeah? Skip your vacation, or use it to immigrate. It's so easy, right? Just hop on a plane and go to some other nation. It's so easy. If it's really gonna be so bad there soon, you need to leave now!
