WIP Skull was in the city yesterday for an appointment and hit an art store for a couple new liner brushes (a #1 and a #3/0 I don't really understand brush size numbers). Worked wonderfully drawing the flames. I'll finish this guy tomorrow.

I made this joke way back during brexit that Canada ought to ask if the opening in the EU was available and years later lol Idk I don't know yet what the diff between "associate member" and "member" is, idk what will change for Canadians, but I hope it makes the Americans angry.

I'm quite relieved that Insomniac Wolverine is kind of mid, means I won't be tempted to pay full price. I can wait. I've been playing Doom: The Dark Ages, which is so far a great trip. Really hoping to catch RE9 on sale idk in the new year. Never pay full price for video games ever again.
