The watercooler: a place to chat

It's easier to open doors than to open people. Normalize letting the door shut on the person behind you!

i always hold it with my arm stretched behind me, and as soon as person behind me touched doors i let go

I swear I felt like my body was high on meds yesterday. my doc gave another allergy med even though I was already taking an allergy medicine for hives issues. I was experiencing all side effects of the new medicine. I felt tired, had diarrhea, headache, running nose, and nausea. I barely could keep my eyes open. I almost fell out of my power wheelchair. ironically my family member was gone but thankfully I didn't hurt myself.
i am not going to take that medicine again. I will call my doc on Monday

When I was drawing comic pages, thumbnailing everything helped me a lot too!

Haven’t done that as much since I switched to making a webtoon, but I still thumbnail other illustrations to get a feel for the composition before I start the actual drawing,

I just finished updating most of the pages on my site with several design refinements! After a lot of testing and tweaking, it was exciting to publish these updates!

Whoops...I have seasonal allergies too I feel you

what do you mean by that statement?

[fermy]

Being an Artist in these times it's a gift to share with others. I realized this after all the bad things happening in the world. I pray (and Paint) for better times soon.

[LCT_m_a_d]

Realizing I should consider working on art in a semi-professional basis.
I think it would be more inspiring and inviting to those around me than not achieving any accolades for my studying, theorizing, and personal investment.

checked ny notifs for once and got suprised with a nice lil like spam on tapas dont really post or anything but its nice to see

[LCT_m_a_d]

That's got to be super reassuring!

[VibrantFox]

for sure! sometimes i feel like i forget about this place or what ive shared but ppl acknowledging whats there is really comforting

[LCT_m_a_d]

Instead of talking about art choices I should be posting more about my plants

FINISHED jury duty(where I've been the past 2 weeks) and back at the day gig trying to get caught up on work...

I need to take a year off- paid vacation.

[SynergyEclipse]

That sounds awful being away for jury duty for so long and having to quickly go back to work!

I’ve been so busy again that I haven’t logged onto to Tapas lately! How is everyone? I spent a lot of time working in Blender to model the background and props for panels that’ll be in my next episode!

A blog post with another WIP will be coming up soon and I have a lot to say about this process!

[LCT_m_a_d]

@SynergyEclipse Sounds like you're making powermoves!

Also the last 2 weeks I've been doing my daily Kemetic Yoga practice before work and Capoeira based yoga after I get out. It's really been helpful for making sure I stay on track mentally by myself since I'm on a new plan with art.

[SynergyEclipse]

I’m glad that habit is working so well!

Designing these backgrounds and props takes a lot of time upfront especially with one of the methods I’m trying, but this should save me time if I need to use them again at different angles!

[LCT_m_a_d]

asset creation? The gift that keeps on giving!
