FINAL UPDATE

I think these are the raddest girls yet. They just look like they would be fun to hang out with. I mean, bunny ears on yourself, FUN. Seriously though, they’re pretty cute!

DK30 POSTMORTEM

I learned a lot during this process. First, I’m faster at drawing than I think I am. That’s nice to know. I was always known as the slow, plodding girl, but I think maybe I just didn’t see the need to be hasty in school.

I also learned that I have a finite amount of energy these days and it’s okay to accept that. I have limitations, fairly restrictive ones at the moment, but it just is what it is. All the time spent wishing it were different, or even hoping it might improve- none of that helps me. I’m going to live in the moment in time where I actually am.

Final lesson learned – it’s okay to do things just for fun. It’s been so long since I’ve drawn something with no point. My whole life seems geared towards actions that are meant to build to something. Everything I’ve produced had to at least be intended to be for a greater purpose like getting more work, publishing a book, making my parents proud, impressing a girl. I don’t think that’s how life is meant to be lived. Not everything has to be done in service of some greater future happiness. Joy is available right here and now, even in little things like drawing a cool robot just for the hell of it.

Thanks to anyone who has followed along a checked out my characters. Maybe try living in the moment, it’s been good for me. Please know that you’re loved and real, real rad. See y’all next time!💕

UPDATE 6

I had the most awkward mistext of my life this week. I bought a new tablet off kijiji and right when I got home with it, I sent a text meant for the person I just started dating to the seller of the tablet. It was a reeeeaaaaally bad text to send to the wrong person. I threw up a little.

Aaaaaanyway, here are some characters drawn on my new (used) CintiqPro 32!

Please, friends, double check who your messages are sending to. Also, thanks to my brother and sister for modeling.

UPDATE 5

Feeling a bit unmotivated to finish the final four characters. I might leave it at two more.

I took a break to carve a pumpkin this week, two actually. Well…one and a half. I drew the joker one, then fell asleep halfway through carving it and it dried out. Pretty sad stuff but then I ate some candy and things were alright :P

UPDATE 4

YAY! I just finished a big job, well, the first phase of a big job and I have two days off!

I drew these friends just now. Some obvious (or not) influences from Janperson.

I used to watch the show with my big brother growing up in Osaka in the early 90’s. The theme song still gets me flipping hyped. My favorite character was Gun Gibson, he’s the reason I always told my parents I wanted to be a motorcycle man when I as older, lol

UPDATE 3

I’ve been acting really irrational and psycho this last week…which is silly because I take an anti-psychotic. What. a. Waste. I laugh-cried while eating a burger yesterday and it’s either an all-time low or a nice highlight of my adult years. I’m feeling a bit more positive this morning so I’m going to say highlight.

Taking a break from my work I drew some more people! Let’s saaaaay they’re an uncle and niece and maybe a pair o’ BFFs. (please forgive the slightly pg-13 sword hilts, just think of them as playstation move controllers)

Thanks to anyone checking out my drawings, you are beautiful and loved and it’s okay if you cry while eating. Just please don’t choke. 💗

UPDATE 1

HaHA I finished two already! I shouldn’t be so proud of deviating from my weekly goals, but that’s what dk30’s are all about, right? Being devious.

Here’s some images!
