Day 159 - ...egg?

Your choice: John Egg-bert or Salvo the Slime with glasses

#homestuck #john #john egbert #year 4 #art #It's meant to be an Eggbert but it reminded me of a boss from Yoshi's Island so now it's both him and them pfft

Day 158 - Stretched

Sore back? Frazzled mind? A desire only to lay down and do nothing?

Yeah, sounds like tiredness alright.

#miscellaneous #year 4 #writing #Brain empty. I have 0 motivation to put effort into anything this second ^^''

Day 157 - A Puddling Conundrum

"...I guess it's hard to tell that 'Puddling' is meant to be a pun on 'puzzling' and 'puddle', hey...?"

#miscellaneous #year 4 #art #Good ol' art block pfft

Day 156 - "As Above, and so Below"

AKA "I have a love-hate relationship with trees, and here's the love"

#miscellaneous #year 4 #art #Trees are kinda therapeutic to draw honestly~ #I really like drawing the roots going into the ground~

[fdragon-art]

Day 155 - Cat-like Curiosity

"By Jehovah's Witness! What, in God's name, is that??"

#homestuck #year 4 #art #I couldn't explain why Jake's words went full Christian then but #It would be Transatlantic American or British.. regardless of how you see his accent/vernaculaic origins #It's weird thinking about what his religious beliefs would be though #He ain't exactly a religious person. I wonder...

Day 154 - Overload

You ever have those moments when you just want to hear nothing? As if even the whisper of the wind is too much to listen to?

Waking up tired leaves the body focused on trying to just get by. Perhaps listening to the occasional word isn't too bad.

Having unpredicted obstacles get in the way of regular errands strains the mind to figure out either how to fix it or just how to deal with the waiting to find out what'll happen.

Finding drinks and crumbs all over yourself not because anyone else was being cruel to you but simply from your own sluggish movements.

Exerting your body at the workplace you've worked at for years, despite thinking things should've gotten easier at some point.

At some point, you just want to stop something so the rest of you can catch up.

At some point, you just need to stop something so the rest of you can take a breather.

It would be nice to just let the silence envelop in those moments. Let the rest of myself have a small reprieve.

#miscellaneous #year 4 #writing #I wanted to draw but I'm just plain tired.. sore.. and coming off of stresses of the day ^^“ #Honestly today was just one ordeal after another and even as each of them weren't super horrible they just stacked up >< #(Honestly.. one was really funny in hindsight XD) #In map news: I'm finally ready to give it some colours~ ^^ #Hopefully it doesn't go like last time and feel too horrible as I'm drawing it so as to ruin my motivation #But the colours seem to be working with me for now~

Day 153 - Peak Hidden Amongst the Trees

"...how'd that even get there??"

#miscellaneous #year 4 #art #For context: The map contains two mountain ranges.. one that separates the snowy area of the north and another that walls off the wasteland #And then there's this mountain that's randomly in the middle (well.. a little south-west of that).. right inside of a forest #Makes me wonder what story it has~

[fdragon-art]

Day 152 - A Lively Market Town

"There existed a city, situated in the middle of major roads, where the markets were bustling and the trade favoured the civilians as much as it did the merchants. Riches flowed and many sought to take advantage of its abundance of wealth. It's name...?

Roads."

#miscellaneous #year 4 #art #While this town isn't specifically ''Roads'' (though it is in the intersection of three major roads) there was a Roads in a previous game #(Fun enough.. the one I remade the previous map of. It was a memorable and fun time~) #And it was called Roads simply because it laid in the middle of major roads and was indeed a major trade centre #Honestly it's actually a fun name for a trade city XD

Day 151 - Ever-Smouldering Pyre

"It has been 3000 years since it last exploded and the people have enjoyed relative peace in this time...but it is said 'When the ever-smoldering pyre eclipses the sun again, the darkness shall return and descend upon the land once more.'"

"...sounds like it came right out of a child's tale, but if a volcano spewed out that much smoke, who knows what kind of damage it could do."

#miscellaneous #year 4 #art #The volcano is a part of the map I'm making. The dialogue is inspired by some of its story but is completely made up by myself #(I actually will not have any part in the D&D campaign it's being made for. I just happen to be brother to the person who's gonna DM it XD) #The only part of the story that is true is it hasn't blown up in 3000 years. It's also still active but the lava never seems to spill over #It just bubbles near the top. Makes me wonder if it's waiting for the day it'll come pouring out heheh

[fdragon-art]

Day 150 - God-damned Trees!

Making maps can be a tedious yet rewarding experience.

...but fuck drawing trees...

#miscellaneous #year 4 #art #I've been trying to find the simplest and effective way to draw trees on this map (and in the last map and previous version of this map) #And I still cannot find a way that looks how I'd like it to ^^'' #The closest I've come is creating my own tree brush and trying to lay out the trees but I keep having the issue of layering #I've got one idea that's kinda working though so I'm not stuck.. but it's still not perfect. It'll do though

Day 149 - Abodeshackled

Happy 4/13~

#homestuck #year 4 #art #It's funny how.. because I missed the timing of this daily.. it actually got drawn on 4/13 instead of the day before pfft

Day 148 - Misdirection

God, he's so annoying.

I try to call him cute, and he adamantly states how he isn't. Why do allow him to call me cute, then?

I acknowledge how him hurting me physically is a symbol of his closeness. It's not easy, but I felt it. Why, then, can I not give him that same affection in return? Does he not actually like sharing the pain?

My sexuality is unique (Don't expect me to explain). I don't expect him to let me indulge, but he does sometimes. That said, it still feels like he hates it. Am I in the wrong for thinking so? It's not as though he wants me to indulge in his.

When am I supposed to say "No more"? When am I supposed to think "I need this"? Maybe it's confusing. Most of you would think "Why entertain him?"

...

...Honestly, I couldn't tell you. Maybe it's the hidden kindness I can see, past the defensive reactions.

Maybe it's his low self image that makes me want to help him see how good he actually is.

Maybe it's his own unusual sexuality that makes me want to share in it, even if that isn't even a possibility.

...maybe I'm distracted by the kindness he does share. Maybe I see the difficulty he's lived through and wonder how his life hasn't had better.

...maybe I'm just missing something important. I dunno.

Day 147 - The Ponderings of the Fool

"Or alternatively known as 'Shhh! Jake is thinking!'"

#homestuck #jake #jake english #year 4 #art #... I'm not sure why I went with that dialogue or title XD #He just be thinking. That's about it pfft

[fdragon-art]

Day 146 - Psi Shortage

"It appears that...you must construct additional pylons."

#starcraft #year 4 #art #I've been enjoying the style for the icons I've gone for with this new map but I didn't really make much today #(I messed around with a design for a bridge town and.. while I've got two designs down.. neither feel quite right) #So I just did it for something different XD

[fdragon-art]

Day 145 - The Capital of Mestisya

There's a few moments in map-making that are just genuinely fun. Making icons for use on the map is definitely one of them~

#miscellaneous #year 4 #art #Technically D&D but I'll leave that out for now #I'm not sure if I shared it but this is an alternate version of the icon used for the capital of the new map I'm making/redrawing #While the previous version was more than fine with the previous iteration of the map (and I still love it) I decided I wanted to change #the style I was going for it in places.. including changing the line and icon styles #I'm actually really happy with how this one came out as well.. even if I'm a little worried it's still a bit too cluttered XD

[fdragon-art]

Day 144 - "nope. i do not care. not listening"

JOHN: yeah i'm just gonna JOHN: not listen to any of this bullshit

#homestuck #john #john egbert #year 4 #art #I feel like I haven't had many good drawing ideas lately and I can't tell if that's just lack of interest or something more #But here's a John who's just flat-out annoyed with whatever he's hearing XD #(Fun fact: He's probably not even hearing whoever's voice let alone whatever words they're saying. Deafness mixed with blocking his ears XD

[fdragon-art]

Day 143 - cake

"Ooooh. I hope it's got some cocolatt inside of it!"

#miscellaneous #year 4 #art #Am tired so here's a cocolatt cake~
