iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Have been feeling reasonable about my art and my writing, and have gotten some compliments from people I respect, but none of it has actually helped me feel better about myself as a person.

100

And the fact that so many people seem to be able to deal with this kind of self-promotion and presentation effortlessly just cements that for me.

100

I can't get over the hurdle that everyone sees me as some kind of pitiable joke or freak.

100

Trying to figure out how to write one paragraph descriptions of myself and what I do is such a miserable activity.

Axe!Julian is just shaped like the kinds of rpg characters I like making.

Legend of the Galactic Heroes gore is still so funny. Love the guys in monk robes and knives (the... 'terraists'. sorry) somehow providing reasonable resistance the big guys in power armor.

All this being said, I think your finished art looks good! Stable hand or not. You have a fun sense of flowing lines and shapes...

PC @proteasomec.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Digitally, when you're drawing, it could be easier in the very early stages of the picture to work at very small thumbnail sizes so you don't need to make such large, sweeping lines? Then blowing things up as needed for detailing and refining.

PC @proteasomec.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Have you ever tried doing these on physical paper? idk if it's the friction or what but I find it way easier to get a stable line there. Have even heard about people putting sheets of paper on top of their tablet to emulate the effect.

PC @proteasomec.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

You know, I think there are some congruencies here.

Yang and Oberstein are my actual favorites, but in the time-honored tradition of picking my favorite rando from an enormous cast, I've selected this guy:

The axe combat in LoGH is so funny. I'd osmosed a single axe-murder via background youtube footage someone had playing over them talking about the series. Not everyone running around like space orcs.

Can't wait for Catch the Rainbow.... favorite stand in the series.

PC @proteasomec.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

LoGH is good! Awful at women though, which hits really hard coming in after Umineko of all things.

You as the seething Reinhard versus me as the rational Oberstein.

PC @proteasomec.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Don't really know how this web design business works. Have a lot of empty space, so I'm adding some bonus creatures.

PC @proteasomec.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Really love how every time they cut to Yang it's like you're catching an unflattering candid photo of the guy.

PC @proteasomec.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

I like Yang. I'd somehow incorrectly osmosed both that he was the goody good boy idealist in the conflict and that he was the guy in the "I'm a healer, but..." meme. (A friend has informed me that is actually from Gundam.)

Finished Umineko. Am now being forced to watch Legend of the Galactic Heroes.

140

Gonna hold off on making a new pinned post until I get my website portfolio together, but in the meantime: I've added traditional sketches and some other commission options, as well as reducing the price of paintings!

Wait, noooooo, I forgot Pathologic 1....

010

I thought so too! But I've seen a lot of people who think it was a big 'fuck you' to the fandom.

Dark Souls 1 and Sekiro are not my favorite Fromsoft titles but they did the most to change how I approach video games.

I am an apologist for specifically the third Danganronpa.

This one is just an entire hot mess.

Absolutely read his entire catalogue though.

Nikaido is a deranged pull for this, but I didn't want to flood the entire board with FKMT manga. And just going by the criteria of how much time I spent thinking about it.... well.

Just going by 'things I've spent a decent amount of time thinking about, stylistically or otherwise.' I've read some of them quite recently.

170

And then even when I feel like something's really good, it's hard to claim it authentically if I don't feel like I've spent enough time appreciating it.

PC @proteasomec.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

I always have a terrible time with those 'pick x of this kind of media that you found formative' memes because I have such a high threshold for stuff counting, completely arbitrarily.

140

Oh! This is exciting, and perfectly timed. I was thinking about trying to get back into them...

PC @proteasomec.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

A fun way to play Umineko is to keep a running scoreboard of who you think the top 3 worst characters (morally) are.

PC @proteasomec.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

I like how wild these get compared to the first set. Unreasonably proud of the brain one.

PC @proteasomec.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

Ascending that last set of designs.

I've been meaning to finish this Bloodborne piece for ages...

I'd respect an attempt at a doll or puppet look, but I really think you've gotta push the level of detail way down on the face if you're pushing it up to such extremes on the clothing.

A friend showed me Pathologic last night while I was half asleep and this is all I can remember

This weekend, I get to hand out flyers for my VN in person...

PC @proteasomec.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

Difficult character to draw in a way that doesn't look like a total disaster. But I like the boldness to his features in the comic. A lot of the face details on the characters, actually.

PC @proteasomec.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

Part 5 anime happened during a really awful period of my life, so it's been cleansing to get back to it.

PC @proteasomec.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

Reading JJBA part 5 again. It's unfortunate the art has some readability problems here because Araki at his cleanest does really gorgeous black and white compositions. Love the stylized sense of perspective.

PC @proteasomec.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

One time I asked a friend who spoke Japanese whether or not there was some nuance to the word 'furniture' that didn't make it through translation, and they were like "I think this game is just weird".

PC @proteasomec.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

Any time anyone expresses intense emotion in Umineko, it is the funniest thing I've ever seen.
