Worked on a few pieces for the second week of #CursedRelics2026 My goal is to make a bunch of analogue pieces, scan them and make a cute lil' merchant shop with one of my characters.

I am excited to get back into the groove of sharing my writing, submitting pieces and just self publishing things I don't see a clear market for.

Shared one of my speculative poems on my Substack!! monihymn.substack.com/p/poetry-cod...
An image of a creature's head is overlayed with text introducing a poem. Image text reads: Poetry: Coding a Demi-griot (An Olivian Measure)
A speculative piece about how processing grief and memory can lead to a personal transformation.

The importance of Multiclassing strikes again — get your hands dirty in-engine. Don’t be scared, just ask questions. Learn to tinker and be okay when things break (this is why we have source control). The more comfortable narrative folks are with implementation, the better our stories become.

For example, I assume a lot of people may understand Hal through Justice League (Unlimited) and the Green Lantern Animated Series. Hal in Lanterns is JARRING in comparison.

Monihymn - monihymn.com @monihymn.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
I'm ending up watching Lanterns all over again. Knowing how everything degrades makes the set up more intriguing. I also think it'd definitely be worth looking at John's development and the ending through a racial lens alongside Hal's development compared to how he's seen in the public eye.

Monihymn - monihymn.com @monihymn.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
Yeah, the Lanterns ending actually landed for me! I expected it to feel like an introduction to a wider project (obviously DCCU). A lot of the emotional bombast and character development was anchored in earlier episodes like 3 & 4.

the crazy thing about making time for any creative pursuit is that you literally have to do what you have a gut-deep yearning to do or else you'll see other people doing it, and it WILL make you insane.

Most of all these lines are meant to guide the painting and I want to focus more on how I render materials. I'll play around more with how the border effect settings can impact the fidelity and the variety of the lines.

Monihymn - monihymn.com @monihymn.bsky.social · 09/09/2026
For further line detail, I duplicated the "border effect" layers to paint in more lines. Eventually, there's visual information to use a magic wand or lasso to add flat colors. I really like how the vector and border effect layers add this "non-destructive" workflow that reminds me of Blender.
100
Monihymn - monihymn.com @monihymn.bsky.social · 09/09/2026
First, I create a vector layer above a sketch and ink the most important visual info. In Clip Studio, erasing vectors is a much faster process for cleaning up lines. Below that, I create a raster layer with a border effect so I can immediately block in values while the border lines define forms.
A black frame wraps around four process images of a magical girl. From left to right, there is linework, flat color, low render and fully rendered image.

Experimenting with this "painterly" method for lineart (where I do everything in my power to not do lineart 😅) and quickly dive into painting forms.
A black frame wraps around a Clip Studio Paint interface, which holds a painterly image of a magical girl with a horned headband and a sheer gloves. She is holding a heart-shaped wand.

I wonder if I'd be further in my career if my creative growth was more public? Is that type of development from a bygone (pre-Algo/pre-AI) social era? Is there more merit to just sitting down, shutting up and working?

I really want to sit and analyze why I have this craving to polish and share old work versus just marching on with the new stuff.

I didn't want to accept my feelings but I am heartbroken about Destiny 2. I was familiar with Destiny after watching my Aunt fall in love with D1's Taken King expansion in 2015. Later, I started D2 in 2019 after my post-college blues during Season Of The Drifter. Since then-

P.LS Chapter 1, Verse 4 // Back at it for the light novel-in-verse, BUT with a more coherent graphic twist. I had this urge to develop a visual direction that would make the poetry more eye-catching.
