Friendship ended with textured line brush, now smooth pen brush is my new best friend 🤝

((Also, I’m drawing a lot of Miel because I want to nail down her design, since she’s going to be on the cover of Vol. 2 and all~))

As a creative person, you have a mission:

Never mess up so badly, or destroy your reputation so completely, that your fans collectively decide to attribute your life’s work to Hatsune Miku.

I finished the final read of The Fabulous Gays Vol. 2! I’m really happy with it!! It’s just so queer and funny, and it really feels like a worthy follow up to the first volume. So, off it goes to Kitty. She’ll be the last pair of eyes on this book.

Just a little more to go~ ✨

Here’s a little reminder that you don’t have to “decide who you want to be” like you’re picking a class in a RPG. Change is good. Get a new aesthetic. Listen to different music. Try everything that appeals to you. Don’t be so hard on yourself. Enjoy the journey of discovery~ 🌅✨

It’s good to strive for a perfect writing place, but you shouldn’t be waiting until you have that to start actually writing.

Life is a chaotic mess, just embrace it. No desk? No music? No privacy? If you can write without these, you can write anywhere and anytime. ✍️✨

The hardest part of making art is starting. Starting is so daunting. That blank page/canvas makes you question your dreams and makes you want to leave it for another day.

Ignore those feelings.

Rush into your art.

Jump right in.

The fear can’t follow you there. ✌️

I didn’t get to be all sneaky about this (because I was MIA all of May), so I’ll just come out and say it:

My goal for June is to get Vol. 2 of The Fabulous Gays out!!! I’m doing my final manuscript read right now. It’s a tight deadline but I’m gonna give it my best~ ✨😤✨
