@chiffonorange: that sounds really difficult, not being able to talk to your family and not having a lot of resources for support, especially with the cultural stigma. you're definitely not "crazy" and depression is not "nonsense," and it's reasonable those comments would feel hurtful.
it sounds like you're in a lot of pain to be having these thoughts and to be scratching as a coping mechanism.

what has been going on that has you feeling this way?

@godsandpunks: hmm i would probably put it in general discussion! that seems like the most appropriate forum that comes to mind

if you want it to be more of a regular thing for posting updates though, while still open to regular chatting, you could possibly make a hangout for it

@amortentia: ooh i could be into that

thinking out loud here … maybe one of us is working at the Company and is able to help take it down from the inside ?
maybe a hacker and a bounty hunter / detective? or investigative journalist? or maybe the corporation thing is in the backdrop and comes into play and there's another main plot?

i think i could be into … there’s a tech monopoly and they can surveil everything and use your data against you / to sell your ads constantly and like … they own all the healthcare stuff too so its like if you are sick your costs are impossibly high, they can use your movements / eye tracking / facial recognition to sell you ads on the spot etc. and maybe perpetuate inequality bn different species/classes (like elves and faes benefit at the expense of animals/demons/etc) bc algorithmic bias - e.g. surveillance cameras to """prevent crime""" but only to punish certain groups while the elite get away with murder etc

and one or both of us are a part of a rebel movement that is like anti-Company / anti surveillance / either anti tech or like rebel-tech ! ? i wonder if there was a major event or series of events that is forcing our resistance to mobilize to action !?
i think i would like to play some kind of male ibex-like character wearing a dark coat lol. how do these ideas sound to you? what kinds of things would you like to try or like character dynamics you enjoy?

@chiffonorange: hey i'm really sorry to hear that. do you want to talk about it? we can pm too if you prefer
depression is a real thing and it's not your fault... is there anyone in your life you feel comfortable talking to about it?

lucky !! though we have other asian good stores in the city, like muji
there is an ikea in a different part of the city too but it's a pain to get to wo a car
(swedish goods, still fun)

a daiso opened up pretty recently in queens but it's still too far to get to easily by transit for me :<
wouldn't be too bad w a car tho!

@keturah: that's true there are a lot in certain communities, though there's probably some self selection bias that all the artists are gathered there haha
i'm not sure i can think of any irl friends who do this kind of character art / digital painting
and lol, i haven't loaded them in yet, but i love a good paint texture brush!

i was thinking about this sketch/painting difference thing more and i think it means that i need more character painting practice :-) like sculpting and maybe color picking too, like toning shadows/highlights
looking at my last painting i think hair could also be a good area to work on improving too

do you do a lot of color adjusting as you go? like adjusting sliders for hue/saturation/etc
or do you mostly do color adjusting just with color picking / painting over if you change your mind?

haha ok! i'm hoping to get something together this weekend :-)
