@Wildfire: it was going good until twitch decided to auto sub me to a channel i subbed to
and never gave me a refund me and just told me "just cancel it" and yeah LOL.
so it made me spend an extra $5 i didn't want to LOL.

so im still not really making that much.
i feel i am often too dumb for marketing classes. i just cannot understand.
i mostly do ask artists but i think the biggest short comings i have in progressing further with that is building a community
and my skills. so im working on those two things right now.

My art i have hardly touched due to depression. I have quite a lot of stuff that is practically done.
but part of me gets scared to finish something i think lately.
because i know i need to enjoy it and not care for numbers. tho at the same time i also need to get paid lol.
it is complicated.

but i am trying a new approach in my work as well as try to do more challenges.
since challenges can really bring more attention to my work.
tho i am really excited about next month.

an app i have been wanting to join will be available for android. so that is something im looking forward to.

@Kozi: Kozi!!! <3 How are you? What's new?

@danie: More good stuff going on for you! Yay! <3

@Purpsy: Yes, it was nice to get out and have lunch with some folks I haven't seen in a while. But now I'm tired and a little headachey...

@MoodyB: Oh, gotta love it when things just take your money! /eyeroll/ I'm sorry. :(
The challenges sound like a good thing for you - are you enjoying them? It sounds like they're helping you achieve your goals :3
Oh? What app were you waiting for that is making its way to android?

@Wildfire: I even filed a ticket for refund.
idk why that's an option if you don't give me my five bucks back.
and i even explained i had no idea it was automatically on auto-sub.
so that was rather...annoying.

so i am practically back where i started.
and kinda annoying that the tip i got, despite it being $20 they take a % out of that as well.

If i can finish them i usually enjoy them.
Often times they have deadlines. But i am working on one currently i am enjoying. tho i forgot how i paint faces
so that's...a bit difficult LOL.

i taught myself how to paint faces recently.
just using my old art.
[X]
Was going to incorporate this painting style[and try to finish painting the rest too if i can]
so my work wouldn't feel so dull.
but now i have to figure out how i did it LOL

it's called bubblehouse. It has a lot of cool features that IG does not offer.
Like wide pictures. instagram always cuts off my wide banner sized drawings. and this app lets you post them as is.
as well as a progress slider thing. which shows what your work looked like in WIP form up until the finished product.
it's so cool!

Had the scare of a life time today. We've been had a rat problem, and there's not really much we can do about it. Even if we got rid of the current ones, that's only a band-aid solution. Since our house has a ton of holes in it. Anyway, another pest has discovered the rats. A snake. Was getting out of my bed, and stepped on a f-bomb snake. It was at my bed.

@Wildfire: Life has been at a bit of a whirlwind lately. Most days I'm lucky if I know which end is up.
What about you? Better, I hope!

@Another Movie Addict: OMG!! I'm so sorry; I spent my adolescence living in an awful old trailerhome that had holes around the plumbing because the person that had put installed it was apparently an idiot, and I once was startled right before bed by an opossum in my room.

I'm really grateful there were never any snakes (at least that we knew about, yikes)!

Wildfire:


So you're in to animation? That's cool. Do you do this as a hobby or profession or are you just intrigued by the process and results, and watching other people create animations?





i mostly am interested in the process and seeing how different people might use different techniques to try and convey things like movement, emotions, etc within their work, whether it's fully rendered or like, an animated storyboard. and also how they interpret and pair up their characters' actions with any sound or music that they're using!! there's often a lot of detail work involved even when people make it seem pretty intuitive because of their skill and effort and i enjoy watching these things to better take note of and appreciate them.
i'm not an animator myself and have never really tried it aside from making a few small animated icons for personal use, i did go to school for graphic design and multimedia for some time though and drawing in general is one of my hobbies that i wanna get back into. :3

@CooperationIsKey: I've had an opossum come into my room too, and it would wake me up going through my trash can. Which is just rude.

@MoodyB: I'm sorry that the platforms you're on seem to be "nickle and diming" you with fees, etc. I hope you can at least get your $5 returned :3
LOL at figuring out how to duplicate a style or effect that you've already done once, but almost accidentally! -- I know that feeling, and wish you the best of luck. The example you posted definitely has some "punch" and some interesting features... worth pursuing, IMO! :3 I'll have to keep an eye open for bubblehouse. I'm curious now!


@Another Movie Addict: That would have freaked me the hell out and made me furious as anything!


@Purpsy: Thank you. I slept reasonably well last night and am feeling pretty good this morning so far. How are you doing?

@Kozi: I've been doing a bit of "not sure which end is up" lately too but it's kind of hit or miss. I'm still trying to figure that one out. I hope your "busy" is the good, productive type though :3 <3


@CooperationIsKey: Good morning.


@Aradia: I understand completely. So animation is obviously of interest to you, as an art form if nothing else, and as an artist yourself you can appreciate it and see certain things that others can't (me too - I get it). Cool. Watching videos like that could be a fun rabbit-hole to fall down once in a while :3



Good morning everyone.

@Another Movie Addict: I bet it did! I'm assuming it wasn't one of the truly nasty species we have roaming around down here?

I did not hear a rattle at the very least, we're pretty sure it was a rat snake. Which though not poisonous, would hurt like crazy if I had got bit.

@Another Movie Addict: It almost sounds like you'd want one of them running around (not really). I'm glad it wasn't one of the poisonous varieties. I assume it has been found and ousted from the house now?

Donator — 0% Edible Posted 4 years ago ( 2021/06/12 12:55:26 )

Nope. It left through one of the holes under my bed. So it'll probably come back at some point. Thing was pretty fat from out rats.

@Another Movie Addict: Wow. Just... I'm not even sure what to say. I get it... but wow. At least it's gone now. Maybe it will stay outside and help control rats from there?

We sprayed some pest repellent under my bed, and a few other places. So hopefully that'll make it too uncomfortable to come back inside. And that being stepped on was scary enough.

@Another Movie Addict: I sincerely hope it works :3

@Purpsy: I'm glad you slept well last night. What's keeping you busy this morning?


I'm currently trying to figure out what my day should be. There's some cooking and meal prep stuff involved, probably some yard/garden type stuff, and some inside cleaning. Beyond that, I don't want to think about it yet! XD
