I used the Clip Studio Paint 3D models to key out shots for a 2D animation I'm working on -- I'd already sketched the whole thing out by hand, but went back over it with the models frame by frame to nail the perspective and test out different camera angles and poses. It was kinda sick, actually!

Was reading a recipe for low-cal pasta, and it said to use 1/4 cup of sauce for the whole meal...what kinda dry-ass pasta are they trying to make, dude?? Yeah, I'll lose weight with that for sure, I'd choke to death trying to swallow it 😭

I got it like 75% done today, but unless I keep working until bed, there's no way I'll finish it. Maybe the whole "finish an entire animation and post it every day" thing was a bit ambitious, lmao 2-3 a week is plenty, even if that doesn't sound as cool (and the one I'm working on is super cute)

I didn't have much time to draw today because I had to make a shopping run and spent time with my parents, but I made some progress on an animation that I'll finish tomorrow! Already cheating on the "finish an animation in one day" concept, but...as long as I push myself, it's all good. 😤

I've said several times that I'd start doing faster, lower-investment animations -- on Tuesday, I did one! It took about 3 hours and turned out really nice. Yesterday though, I thought...maybe I could just clean up a couple things. I spent all day fixing it up...I'm going to fix it up more today...

me yesterday: I haven't taken a proper rest day in a couple weeks and physically, I feel rough. tomorrow I gotta actually relax and recharge me today: but...what if I spend 4 hours sketching out 30 seconds worth of tharja casting a magic spell with effects work and impact frames and camera moves

AND THANK YOU FOR ALL THE BIRTHDAY WISHES I went out shopping and had sushi with my family!! I'm thankful for them, and for my friends, and that I get to make art for a living, and that I'm alive every day to enjoy all the cool shit in the world and grow plants and see boobs THANK YOU AGAIN

it's my birthday I am 38 last year I said I'd practice taking selfies more (I didn't) but I managed to smile naturally for once 😏 have a great weekend, y'all 🙏

A selfie photo of me (bald white guy with fuzzy eyebrows and a beard that needs shaving), hugging the big shark plushie from IKEA. In the background, you can see the sick framed Ramones poster in my living room. Peeking over my shoulder is the aloe vera plant on the top of my cool lil plant stand in the corner. I gained weight since last year, and I'm older (obviously) -- but I like this photo. It's vibes. I still haven't manage to take a "hot" selfie, but that's okay. I'm still cool.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE GIFTS I remember and cherish every single one I've gotten!! really truly appreciate it, thank you y'all 🙇‍♂️

throne.com/akairiot It's my birthday tomorrow! I don't need anything, just throwing it out there that I have a Throne. I mention it like once a year at most and this is that time, lol. I'm very grateful for all the support I already get and I don't deserve more than that, but yeah...thanks, y'all.
