Kitty and I have been playing Pokemon Mystery Dungeon together, and that’s got me back in the mood to draw pokes~
Also yes, I purposefully drew this lad to look like a little gremlin. I always imagined Meowths would be total troublemakers. 😼🔪
Looking back on Meowth’s sprites/art, you can see GameFreak trying to make this lad thinner and thinner with every iteration, which is a shame because I love this chunky gremlin~

There’s nothing quite like reading a book and getting lost in it. Seeing the writer’s confidence in their own words, their craft, the frictionless way in which they give their thoughts form.
It’s as inspiring as it is delightful. 💗

Last month was a mess, but at least I got a lot of reading done! I can’t wait to see how many books I can read before October is through~ 📚🎃
Also, if you’ve ever wanted proof of how I seriously read everything, please appreciate this confetti mess of genres and styles. 😅
I used the word “confetti” without a second thought but now, reflecting on this for a few days, I think that’s the most accurate description of my reading tastes.
Everything. Every color and shape. Fiction. Memoirs. True ...

Today is the start of a new month so I took the time to reflect on that last 30 days; what I wanted to do, what got in the way, and what actually got done.
All things considered, last month was indeed a mess—a very stressful mess—but I managed to still be quite productive. 😊🌻

There’s a lot I want to get done during October and, though I already know things will get in the way, I’m doing the only thing we can do in times like these:
Get up and keep trying~ 🤞September 29, 2021

Happy 10th Birthday, Isaac!! 🎂✨
I’m so grateful for this little guy (and the big guy who made him 😉). The Binding of Isaac has always been an inspiration for me. My books wouldn’t be anywhere near as strange as they are without it!
I’m really happy with how this came out~
Maybe I should do some more Isaac arts… 🤔

Had some doctor stuffs yesterday, so I didn’t get much time to work—but I made up for it today!! 😊
The version zero of the site is all done, or as done as it’ll ever be before I start iterating. All I gotta do now is make some art assets + the first few character pages~ 👀✨

I thought doing this phase alone would take weeks to coordinate and yet here we are, a few days later and already working on phase 2.
Just goes to show you can’t always trust your perception of time, or how long you think a proje...
