Recently realized how often I use this one elongated pentagon for bodies.
Sketch of a creature with the underlying shapes highlighted, the same shape is used for the lower and upper arm, the palm of the hand, and the fingers. Not pictured: the torso also has this shape as do the legs. It's only the head and tail that don't.

I used this process about 7 years ago when making a couple character rotation commissions! Nobody told me how, so it was a mess. I honestly don't think there's any other way to make this kind of animation.

Stomp points at self "woman" - other character imagines typical woman - Stomp imagines woman more like werewolf

The dog in the top left was named Nanuq. When he died I took his mask. It's the one still on Stomp.
Dogstomp entry from March 7th, 2018. A while after my dog died... he had broken free from my parents' yard and was headed across town, to my house, when he was hit... Clover messaged me asking if I was doing well, and I responded with the last photo I ever took of Nanuq. It is a really nice photo.

Found a reason to join Clover to car shows. I've always struggled with drawing cars. Won't be that way for long.

Dogstomp #3372 - September 12th
In Dogstomp #3371's alt text, I explained that I would communicate more, and Clover had been patiently waiting for me to internalize that. She quoted my words and I realized I wanted to put my money where my mouth was.  Opened up about half-baked theories about how my trauma might have shaped my behavior. Opened myself to miscommunication, because I trust her and I know it'll be okay.

Her first comic (left) was directly something that happened to me at summer camp. The following one was slightly different than how it actually went. The next were increasingly offset from reality. Her 7th comic, (right) is actually relevant to that. I really should draw more of these.

Dogstomp #3371 - August 9th [Further thoughts in first image's alt text]
Quite a lot to drop without warning, but the people close to me know I've put an appropriate amount of thought into it.

Even now, the habit tries to assert itself: head off miscommunication before it starts. But I realize now that the people who care about me have the patience to resolve miscommunications after they're made. Beats locking myself away and trying to read everyone's minds. What a miserable way to live.

I don't expect to transition rapidly. I don't think I'd look good in a dress. I don't even particularly want to look feminine, and I'm not yet sure that's even possible, but all my life I have looked at masculine women with awe, so I'm not worried. Not in a hurry. she/her will probably feel right after a good long time and changes too slow to really spot. And if it never feels right, that's fine too. 

As for the name, Rau, Stomp has been an okay name for a while, but it's never really worked. Been a bit off. But Rau, the character, was deliberately designed for autobio comics in which parts of my history were slightly tweaked and things went just a little more how I wish they would have. At her core, her purpose has always been to represent a more ideal me. The name makes sense for me. 

I'm thinking I'll just change my handles on discord and such, until people naturally prefer that name for me. It's much easier than trying to force it immediately. Let the dead name die casually.

I have to repost this comic every time Outer Wilds makes me cry. What is this... the 8th time? This instance, it was featured by Tale Foundry in their video "My Favorite Apocalypse" Just look at this spoiler warning. You know it's going to be a good video with this kind of lineup.

Clover was heading out for a work thing when she said "Alright give me a hug and then I'm leaving - FOREVER" so I gave her a hug and told her if that was the case I'm never letting go. She thought that was very touching.

Was walking down the street when a guy with some fast food bag crossed the street, making squirrel noises the entire time. Thought to myself that they'd make a good friend.

This was probably the strangest comic I ever made. Drew it the day it happened and then again 6 months later because I forgot it was already drawn. But by pure chance, none of the panels overlap. So I combined them into an unnecessarily long version.

This could be my favorite photo of mine.
I love the colors, with the two very different light sources and it's an extremely comfortable place to me because I've lived there for 4 years. 

It feels like freshly planted nostalgia.

Hit a brick wall trying to program something simple in godot and decided to quit trying. Stood up and realized I felt awful, which was probably tainting my judgement, so I pulled it back.

Alone all week, decided to watch the Lego Batman movie. Quit watching when the scene where he's not happy about watching a movie alone made me not happy to be watching a movie alone.

I don't do well alone. It's only tuesday. Not even half done with the week. 
You know what would super help pass the time? Weed.
I knew I'd say this so I saved a roll just for the occasion. 
And then I put it back and sent it all away to a friend's house so I'd have the mental capacity to finish this game jam. 
AND I STILL CAN'T FOCUS ON THAT.

With Clover planning on leaving for work for the next week, I wanted to use the schedule disruption to do a quick week-long game jam. But then I slept on my shoulder wrong. Pulled a muscle or something. And it got progressively worse from Thursday to Saturday, until I could barely sleep. (it did heal by Monday)

I eventually figured it out. Explanation below alt text:

1. Cheap mobile merge game for dopamine. 
2. To incentivize hoarding, you get more of a higher tier resource when you convert higher numbers of a lower resource.
3. But what madness did they use to decide payouts. Why does no number yield seven?
4. Mobile games are legitimately causing me harm. (I deleted all of them)

Explanation:
* 5->2: This would naturally be the reward for 6, but if it were, you would have no reason to save past 3. So they discount the cost to 5.

* 8->3: This is not a special discount number. It's just a combination of 5 (gives 2) + 3 (gives 1).

* 9->4:  The next discount mark would be 10, two 5's, but if they just left it at that, nobody would have any reason to save until 10 over just cashing out on every 5. So how they pulled the cost back from 6 to 5, they pulled the cost back from 10 to 9.

* 12->5: similar to 8, this reward is just the previous  + 3

* 14->6: is 5+5+5, with cost pulled back for the same reason as 5 and 9.

* 17->8: This is just the previous +3, AND the 5 rule combined, because 18 will be 9+9.

* 20->9: Previous + 3 again 

* 22->10: This one is like a +3 situation but for being 5 more than the PREVOUS previous, 17.

They're the numbers you choose if you want hoarding to always be optimal.

Sick of being an evolved creature. Evolved for survival and replication. And everything always points back to those. No exceptions. A hard-coded obsession. - I imagine any being that has achieved immortality would look at us the way we look at a cat chasing a laser pointer - (obelisk being: "lol. Moron. <3")

For valentines day, Clover went on a nice walk with me. Saw a really poorly constructed trail. Got dinner at a thai place. Later, asked Clover if she'd go on a walk to the top of the hill with me. She joked "But what If I just fall asleep here?" I responded that it would be in character. So she fell asleep instantly. (we did go on that walk later too)
