i don't even live there anymore but i got a sudden weird urge to (eventually, when i have the time) do a macro thing of one of my characters sitting on like, the oltorf/congress HEB. because Here Everything's Butt
images you can hear
i slept four hours and they weren't even good ones
im gonna lose my fucking mind from laughing i cant breathe www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPVs...
i didn't realize it was even still around post like. 2002ish?? huh
i assure you that running a website over dial-up is (and was even back then) the furthest thing from cool
look i resent age verification for many other more valid reasons but my most immediate one is *extremely* petty and i know it (it's the "fuck you, i was posting art on the internet likely before half the people coding this bullshit were born" one)
loool i tried to open the bsky app and now it's just giving me "verify your age plz" shit. which even if i *wanted* to i can't do because the button itself is just a rate limit exceeded error right now
(there used to be a subdomain redirect service at cjb(dot)net that allowed you to update the redirect via taskbar-resident windows app or *NIX shell script every time your machine's IP changed, which is the only thing that made it work)
brainfart moment: for a brief moment i thought i'd remembered having some site space on furnation back in the (very) late 90s but then i remembered i skipped out on it and hosted my site off my own hardware for a bit instead (it was slowwwwww when it was up, i was doing it on fucking *dial-up* lmao)
thank you!! i may take you up on it sometime because i've been thinking about playing with hugo since seeing your site (especially after many years of dealing with either making static sites by hand in vim/notepad/etc. or grappling with the bloated monster that is wordpress)
(taps the this)
i have commissions i need to finish (and i need to do more because I Am Even More Fucken Broke) but also i need to do website work but also i need to do an example piece for the website refresh but also i need sleep but also everything hurts but also--
can (gestures wildly) settle down for a second
"you used to be more talkative" yeah some shit happened years ago that made me reevaluate personally being a social animal and also my posting gland dried up and fell off
it's been doing that here too and iiiiiiiii'm about ready to find a cave and throw myself into it about it
A digital shaded pencil drawing of a figure with their face obscured by a collage of many different images in small frames, including: several eyes, a closeup of a tree trunk, an insect brooch, a streetlamp, and a shelf of wine bottles.
the back cover art to Last Band On Earth, depicting one half of the titular band performing on stage at a large open air festival to an enthusiastic audience of humans, demons, and writhing tentacles. there are also tentacles with eyes creeping up from behind them on stage.
A page from my graphic novel The Last Band On Earth, depicting two characters, Nat and Rick, on a rooftop in a windstorm, battling an evil eldritch being that resembles a biblically accurate angel, but with bat wings instead of feathery angel wings, and several long strands of sinew stretching out from its midsection in all directions. Rick is hooking his phone up to a guitar amplifier with a dongle and searching through his files to find something loud to play through the amplifier. Yup!
a dragon in silhouette perched on top of an abandoned shed. several other abandoned structures can be seen in silhouette in the background. there's a power pole in the foreground. the sky is firey orange and yellow.

Happy #PortfolioDay!
I am known to most as "Tealful Eyes", a multi-discipline artist with freelance experience illustrating for games and marketing. I specialize and especially enjoy illustrating and crafting creatures that feel "alive", while balancing detail with narrative/visual legibility.
i can assure you that isn't the problem
interrogating what else could possibly be holding up the process and/or could satisfy this extremely mercurial lump of electrified cholesterol between my ears results in some real ":) i'm not telling :) :)"-flavored static so that's Great
ADHD is ridiculous example #7653:
- need to draw (burnout aside)
- brain: "ok. put on xfiles AND mp3s"
- ??? no that's silly. i will put on xfiles
- "where music. where"
- ... pause show, put on music
- "where xfiles. both or No Drawing"
- ... put on both??
- "Too Much Thing!! No Drawing"
- cry
"about me: video games" grid but every entry is E.T. for the atari 2600

that loud brain static is overwhelming today. can't concentrate on *anything* and i'm wishing for unconsciousness that isn't forthcoming
anthro dog + skunk fucking on an avocado ottoman straight out of the 70s; dog says "haha dude your tail's gonna make me sneeze" because he's got a big fucken skunk tail over his face + skunk says "350..." looking at a photo on his phone that says "don't yiff, 350 penises" while being surmounted by question marks

it's like. if you have ADHD you already know "do [necessary thing]? impossible. i will do [random thing brain has latched onto] instead" but then add "even *thinking* about [anything remotely in necessary thing's radius] feels like Millions Of Bees Poking My Brain" to it and: hahaha ha. haaa
now i just want to sleep and make the static in my brain shut up, but i can do neitherrrrr yaaaay
i hate burnout lmao i manage to do one thing (piece by piece over days, but nevertheless) and while i'm doing it i'm thinking "maybe i'm climbing out of this hole" and then as soon as i finish it the walls of that hole suddenly get a mile taller and i slide back to the bottom of it cursing existence
