Hhhhhhmmmm...where to start. Welcome to fall! I think I mentioned that I picked up the manga Toilet-Bound Hanako kun. Which I really really like, but it appears there is no way to get a hold of volume 4! First world problems I know. I did find it online just so I could continue on with the story as it's really quite a good read, but I'm sad I have so far been unable to obtain a physical copy I have 1-3 and 5-9. Fall colors have been invading my color palette as the new season sets in and my thoughts turn to warmer clothes and sitting cozily under the kotatsu with the fire going (still a bit too warm for this.). I also discoverd teeturtle.com where you can get amazing nerdy shirts or just anti social shirts or whatever your current mood shirts. I saw a few I felt I needed...One of which has a red panda on it that says "I'm listening to my murder stories" (I'm a bit obsessed with true crime podcasts). Art wise I'm trying to stretch my comfort zone again in trying poses and angles that I'm not very used to. I'm also trying to draw more male characters. I feel like if I ever truly want to draw a comic I really do need to know how to properly draw them. A friend of mine asked for me to do a more realistic portrait of his mother and her fiance....I must admit with shame I've been procrastinating on working on this. He originally told me about the idea back in July, but didn't get me pictures for reference until the beginning of this month. The large gap in the reference material caused a lack of interest for me in trying it. I feel bad and really need to get motivated to make an attempt at this.
In other news I discovered recently that funimation changed their access in that now you don't have to have a paid sub to watch their content. You'll have ads, but you can watch what they have. I will admit that I've binged a few different shows now that I have them available. I still need to watch the Demon Slayer movie Mugen Train which I was extremely excited to see on there! My anime otaku side has been giddy with all the new and old stuff on there.
In video games I've been playing a lot of Terraria! I've always been a fan of the game, but they've added a bunch of new content since the last time I played and it's just so easy to turn it on and get lost in it for hours! I love that the game has so many options for things to do. You can waste your time building and gathering materials for your buildings or you can progress the game along fighting bosses and increasing the difficulty. For those of you who have played it you know what I'm talking about.
Well once again I feel like I managed to jump topics at random and for those of you still here thanks for reading the rant of jumbled thoughts! I'll continue trying to make fun pieces of art to share and my randomness here! Cheers!
