Hello, 2021!
Your girl's been sick most of the year so far!
"I really want to concentrate on my novel in January," said I, thereby cursing myself.
I don't have COVID (thankfully), just a lingering cough. I try to speak and I cough instead. It's no fun. And there's some unfortunate overlap between this and the whole winter weather situation going on in southern USA right now. It is not as bad here as it is in Texas. I'm so thankful for that. I've been through severe, national-emergency-type winter weather before, sans power, and it was traumatic! But last week was still rough. I'm pretty much in survival mode right now.
I fell really behind in Animal Crossing New Horizons last year, so while I've been sick and snowed in, I've been catching up. I've only just started December in the game. Above is the entrance to my island. I can't believe that the game's been out for almost a year!
Another thing I've been doing is sketching, mostly digitally. Anne's been doing digital art lately and it's really motivated me to get back to it! I just dabble in self-indulgent fanart and the like (I like to warm up by looking at Adventure Time media and sketching off it by eye), but here's a rough sketch of Olwenn.
I am not an artist; don't think that's what I'm claiming. I just wanted to post this here just because it's representative of something that's kept my head above water of late. As you know, it's all about getting that SEROTONIN!
Stay safe, y'all.
I'm so sorry to hear you've been unwell! That is rough, especially in these times when every little symptom feels possibly catastrophic (that may just be me). Very glad you escaped worse weather stuff! I've been out of the ACNH loop lately as well - it's a good idea that you have, to play it in the time you have and work through out of real time. I ADORE this drawing of Olwenn! And your Adventure Time doodles are so cute! I started watching AT last spring but my group watch lost momentum as lockdown continued longer than anticipated - I need to get back to it as I really enjoyed it! I'm so delighted to hear that sharing my learning process has been motivational for you! <3 The fun-learning serotonin is real for me!
ReplyDeleteThanks, friend! It's not just you! It is SCARY to be sick right now! I definitely had an "oh no, is this covid? Am I going to die?" moment during which I wrote a dramatic note telling my family what to do with my Blythes...
DeleteI recall that your gang was watching AT last year! I think it's worth picking back up when you're in the mood for some simple and imaginative whimsy. :) Think of me when ye see my soul sister, Lemongrab...
I'm really stoked every time I see your art on Insta! I can see the improvement in your linework! <3
I am definitely going to pick up AT again soon! I could use an infusion of whimsy. :)
DeleteThank you so much for the encouragement!! It doesn't feel like I'm improving, but I am still having fun, so I'm happy to keep at it! :)
