#deadlock clicking and dragging on him mario 64 title screen style. turning him green. all in service of drawing more cute abramses
pastel-style digital drawing of abrams from deadlock from the shoulders up. a mouse cursor is pulling at his cheek and he looks cartoonishly distressed about itpastel-style digital drawing of abrams from deadlock from the shoulders up. he is green instead of blue. he is looking at his hands in shock and disgust. an interrobang is floating next to him

my hair grew out so i asked my friend to give me a buzzcut. i wanted to know the shape of my head and see exactly where my patch of gray hair was (shockingly right in the middle). i now look like if a baby was also 34 years old
doodles of me before and after getting a buzzcut. im wearing a hat wearily and my hair sticks out the sides like an animal crossing character (cringe). im wearing a trash bag over my body and saying "fuck my shit upppp" and my friend is holding an electric shaver and saying "ok". and a colored drawing of me in my visibly millennial outfit: hl2 hat, nine inch nails shirt, fish crossbody bag, cargo pants. lol

a comic. sammy asks if metthew has a knife he could borrow. metthew says sure! and is holding out a knife he took out of a hip holster. the next panel is sammy in the background hacking away at a wooden crate with the knife, metthew in the foreground appalled, exclaiming "my knife!"

honestly i eyeballed the baselines and x-heights cuz i didnt know how to set a guide line. what i REALLY should do is properly make a new handwriting font from scratch, but... thats sooooo much work... and its not really a priority...

hmm... figuring out how to add alt glyphs for a non-crossbar capital I would be cool (or maybe I could just edit the lowercase L a bit so it can pull double-duty). Doing character-specific kerning for capital T so the non-tall lowercase letters fit underneath the t-bar would be cool too...

it took so long but i finally put together my hourly comics from last week (i just needed to arrange them but i got busy...) #hourlycomicday #hourlycomicday2026
a comic. ?? am: annoying dog on my bed... well, as long as he doesnt bother me (i am sleeping). 8am: dog is bothering me >:( 9am: woken up by a repeating noise? too sleepy to identify what it is. (sound was "dog barking") bigger dog wants to go outside and is barking. i am sleepy and let him out. i'll feed the dogs since im up. then i tumble back to bed. 10am: sleepily discussing plans about our multiplayer factorio game. my friend says "nuclear power!" i go back to sleep. zzz. the dog is back again. 11am: dad phone call. he is also being accosted by dog (the dog is sleeping on his chest). 12pm: okay time to actually start my day. eating leftovers. doing the dishes... scrub the water bottles or else!!! 1pm: cleaning my messy desk! i stand with my hands on my hips next to a messy desk. still 1pm: vacuuming my floor (dog fur on it). then got tired and laid down in bed again. stuff from my desk is on my bed. 2-6pm: lets play deadlock!!! the games were awful... our team got so gamer mad at us. i am sad mcginnis and my friend is sad rem. 6-8pm: watched rush hour (1998) with friends. what if i watched police story again... 8pm-12am: factorio!! replacing steel furnaces with electric furnaces. organizing conveyor belts. crashing my car into every tree & pipeline

what theyre into #TAGCEN
taggart blushing while looking upwards and thinking about a short haired woman with ear/nose piercings and painted nails (labeled alt chicks). basil rubbing the back of his head and looking downwards thinking about a bearded guy in a leather jacket holding a motorcycle helmet (labeled thick motorcycle dudes). chip crossing his arms and confidently imagining a buff flexing man and a buff woman. a guy in the background is smugly grinning after blowing a heart. its afterburner btw. (labeled: muscles in general. and... well...). samson standing and staring off into the distance, pleased. hes thinking about himself, who is looking at the viewer. behind him is a cheering crowd. (labeled: yep)
