it feels impossible and unreal but I lost the closest and longest relationship I have ever had with another human on this earth. My children lost their mother who was the biggest part of their world. Everyone one loved Gita and we will miss her dearly. gofund.me/dd54f2acf

My computer is getting its battery replaced. Upside: this should hopefully fix the slow down I’ve been experiencing when drawing. Downside: I’m without my primary work machine for a full week! Making both my hobbies and my important tasks 10x harder 🫠

It's only dawning on me now that the Archer in Gauntlet: Dark Legacy doesn't really have a bow. More like an uzi cosplaying as a bow. But with how fast they fire arrows, it honestly makes a lot of sense 🤔

I don't post nearly enough 😅 So here is a picture frame I mocked up for a personal project and will most likely not be using.

Had a cool dream where there was a new Super Sentai series were the theme was Alchemy. All the members had helmets that displayed their alchemical symbol (sulfer, salt, mercury). Their solo ranger was the red philosophers stone and the megazord looked like a green lion. Sick as hell 🤘
