I had to cut 700 characters including spaces from a document. It felt like cutting away part of my body. I still need to cut 92 characters. I'm not feeling great.

Thinking about my sweet little baby OC and his trauma and how the other OCs are all mean to him <3

Interminable

So fun fact whenever I draw something, it takes me years to get around to posting it. :) /j

This is actually my art for week 2 of OC-tober over at the Gemini Valley server! The prompt was poison and/or demons. I settled more for the poison vibes here, and while this character isn't actually a demon, he kinda has a more horror/demon-like appearance to some, so he fit!

Another reason I wanted to make this art was because I realized I've had this character for around 10 years now, so the prompt became a good excuse to make a personal-anniversary piece for myself. I first made this character back in October of 2014; I was a sophomore in high school and I specifically remember just generating this black goop monster in my head as an antagonistic-sort of character. A lot has changed and developed regarding all of my characters over the past decade, but I still enjoy going back and seeing where my ideas really started popping up when I was still new to digital art and posting it to the internet. I wouldn't really be where I am creatively today without them. ^^

For more context on the art itself, this character is Ambroax! Also known as Project 1, he's the mysterious leader of the 32 projects. In the art he is consuming this strange oil-substance, which would be poisonous and very deadly if consumed by anything else. The creature is part (mostly) machine, and the oil usually acts as his fuel. Like all the other projects I've been redrawing and making refs for lately, he also received some slight design alterations that ended up being more reminiscent of his first design I made 10 years ago (not that I posted it online because it was hand-drawn by fifteen year old me and looks like hot garbage).

Anyway, that's all for now! If you're interested in participating in our OC-tober, or just want to be part of the community in general, here's the link: https://discord.com/invite/6DMtHGaV4m

The lower house of the Indian parliament Monday passed a bill establishing a central scheme for the purchase and sale of carbon credits. The bill also promotes clean energy by obligating certain large consumers of electricity to use renewable energy and conserve energy.

The Energy Conservation (Amendment) Act seeks to amend the two-decade-old Energy Conservation Act and introduce a carbon credit trading scheme. A carbon credit is a permit that allows the holder the “right” to emit one ton of carbon dioxide or the equivalent amount of another greenhouse gas (GHG) by offsetting it against the reduction of equivalent emissions. The emission reductions may either be “certified” and sold through a third-party regulator, such as the Clean Development Mechanism by the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), or “voluntary” and exchanged between buyers and sellers directly.

Under the carbon credit trading scheme proposed in the bill, registered entities will be issued carbon credit certificates which they can sell to other entities or individuals. The scheme incorporates the offset markets in energy efficiency and renewable energy that currently operate in India. While India has previously engaged in the global carbon credit market—with the city of Indore exporting UNFCCC-approved carbon credits for about $62,000 in 2020—the carbon credit certificates proposed in the bill can only be issued by the Indian government or agencies it authorizes. The Power Minister also reportedly stated the scheme would be wholly domestic. Source jurist.org

Project 1 - Fake It ‘till You Make It

So I've made my own book cloth! I think i showed the fabric in an earlier post, and then I ironed Pellon on the back. Pellow is usually to gently glue/fuse fabrics together, for things like applique. I’ve not even sure why I have it, I haven’t used it in years!

You can see that it really stiffens the fabric. And below is a picture of the fusible backing, because I accidentally ironed it to my ironing board!

Just in case you were curious! 

I ironed before applying the Pellon, and then applying the Pellon involves ironing, but i still have fold lines from the fat quarter. Something to be aware of in the future, if I make my own bookfabric.

I cut my covers out, and laid out the measurements on the back of the bookcloth. 

After trimming the fabric down, now I am partly done with the cover!
