I'm liking working with this simple low-res, no pressure no anti-aliasing brush. Satisfying!

Within the EVERGLOW, the Mind as a Place, rests the realm of my Self Conceptualization; the Hearth of the Mind, VANADURIN.

Jutting out from the SEA OF NEUROTICA, the Hearth is a mountain ring of five distinct peaks. Their outer sides reach with rocky spines into the sea. The inner space between is a lush, green forest pocked by small hills. Resting at the seat of four of our mountains are tall stone towers. To the north, between the summits of a twin peaked mountain, is a taller stone tower topped by a peculiar ring.

At the center of this land is the greatest and tallest tower, basalt black and reaching for heaven; this is VANADURIN, the home of our soul flame. In its center is the WHITE HOLE that is the source of our being.

In each lesser tower but the north dwells a Fouramie and a portal to their personal realms. The north tower belongs to Azzerrad, Self of the Mind, though their time is split between there and VANADURIN. The ring atop the north tower is the LOCUS OF CHAOS. Through this ring energy is channeled to and from VANADURIN, the Fouramies, and the greater world.

Study break doodle of Delta and Thomas, two of the Fouramies.

Thomas is basically the version of me that gets the bad ending.

Delta is our strategist and social voice. He is very hard working and smart, but can get lost in his calculations. Thomas can help him reach decisions in his own, often annoying and blunt ways.

Image transcript:

- Delta and Thomas wear similar outfits while adventuring

- Thomas' is black, Delta's is green

- Bicker and annoy each other like brothers

- Thomas is amused at Delta's need to strategize

- Delta gets frustrated by Thomas interfering with plans and having to cover his ass

- At the end of the day, they have each other's backs and respect their decisions

- Delta has longer boots

Two pieces from my old sketchbook that are still relevant.

Transcription:

Image 1

We are alive.

Motivated to protect. To survive. The past has proven.

A call for more always persistent. More from ourself. Dedication wavers.

More from ourself. Dedication wavers. Can I be the self I believe in?

Searching for something... Justification? Will? Struggle? Motivation. We must remember: change takes time. Mind the trendline. We have but two tools. Patience and iteration.

Image 2

"iteration and patience. Will to change the trendline. If not for our current self, then for our future self. As I now swim with my past self to become me, my future self swims with me. If not my belief, then his, that the choice will be made."

2nd page

"I've been having a hard time keeping motivation for things I know I need to do... I think I'm realizing I'm not as naturally good at stuff as I thought and actually need to put in hard work to change that"

"I wouldn't say I'm in the best environment for positive change but waiting for that to shift isn't the solution"

"Is it weird to say one of my blockers is if I succeed then my parents could brag about me? It's as if sometimes I self-sabotage to make sure I'm not meeting their expectations. I think I hate the prospective smugness coming from people who only care about one facet of me. As if making this work will make them feel like I've 'come around'. Complied."

"I don't want to conform to their worldview. Yet it's an unsaid, subliminal requirement to not challenge it. What an obnoxious knot of a problem. I just bend to their will for even a chance at a way out."
