I haven't uploaded pics on tumblr in a while. How you are guys? These are some of my favorite faces I've painted recently.

If you live with a beeping smoke alarm then your opinion is rendered invalid for everything. You don't get a say in the pineapple on pizza debate. You're not allowed to vote. Whether you prefer tits or ass more is moot. You tolerate a chirp every 30 seconds of your life.

Cull firework people.

I was always bad at egg hunts as a kid. It was usually our school that held them. I'd be lucky to get 1 or 2 eggs.

But in retrospect, I think our school was just cheap. When you counted up all the eggs for the class, there wasn't a good egg to student ratio. I never thought about that until now. But they really should have put out more eggs. It's like how school pizza parties never had enough pizza per student.

Are smoke detector beep people the same as noisy dog that barks at everything people?

I guess what I'm asking is: How many people do we have to genocide?

Oh god. I turned off my blocker on twitter in order to use the search bar, and twitter became awful. The trends... the ads... I don’t miss them.

Me: Enjoying a week of bliss where I forgot Belle Delphine exists.

The internet suddenly: “YOOOOO, DID YOU SEE WHAT BELLE DELPHINE DID *THIS* TIME?!  IT’S O U T R A G E O U S.  LOOK! LOOK! I MEAN, I’M NOT A FAN OR ANYTHING, BUT LOOOOOOOK.”

Why is my voice so much deeper and smoother in the morning?

Do singers ever time their recording sessions first thing in the morning in order to achieve a richer sound?

Faces from the last Commission.  Top is Casha. Bottom is Kevyn.

I can’t be the only one who panics a little when it’s 7AM and the sun isn’t out yet.  So you think “today is the day the sun dies out. No more warmth. Only darkness.”

How long until all figurative language is banned?

A character type that I will never understand the appeal of:

Tall, thin, classically dressed young man with tall hat. He is very thin and lanky, and his head accessory is rather vertical.  He’s very flamboyant and showy.  Like some kind of stage performer. He might come with an edgy option. He most likely wears a vest under a coat or cloak. His attire being rather dapper.

Is it me, or did Chrome’s spellcheck just get a lot worse?

I mean, Chrome had a bad spellcheck for years.  But then in the last year or so, it was actually really good.  It always knew exactly the word I needed, no matter how poorly I spelled.  It knew references to most media and pop culture.  It was really impressive.

Then in the idk, last two weeks or so?  The spellcheck just turned to shit.  It guesses wrong almost 100% of the time now.  What happened?  How does Google continue to get worse?

The actual Google website ignores text that is put in quotes now.  So you can’t even tell it exactly what you want, without it trying to correct you.

Youtube never recommends anything interesting anymore.  Just more of the same channel you’ve already watched.  Or super similar videos of the subject matter you’ve already watched.  Basically making your watching experience completely linear and uninteresting.

And now this with Chrome’s spellcheck.

Face from my most recent Patreon Page It’s Austyn.  Kind of a tricky angle to be honest.  I needed a lot of help with this.

Faces of the last commission I did for Sinnerverse.  Cloud is the top one, and Brownie is the bottom one. I’m far from a concept artist, but I was given a description of the characters, along with about dozen references per both of them.  And had to try and give them faces.  

I’ve never drawn dreadlocks before. So that was a new challenge, and I’m quite happy with the texture.  Again, thanks to all the references I was given.

Not feeling very spooky this Halloween season.  Not feeling spooky at all.

OK, I’ll say it. Smart people with self confidence are annoying.

Edit: I kind of feel bad for posting this. But if you took offense to what I said, then chances are you don’t possess enough confidence to be the person I’m actually referring to.
