My org has been running "lean and mean" for so long that we've incurred mountains of technical debt. Institutional knowledge to address it was lost thru attrition and layoffs. I could be doing amazing stuff but I'm stuck keeping the ancient products limping along because no one else here can. H8 IT!

I'm sharing my first painting studies! I studied fundamentals by copying environment pieces by an experienced artist: @animalshapes.bsky.social. Study #1 - mountains, atmosphere, water: I blocked out big color groups (shapes) before getting prematurely distracted by detail. Left it as a WIP.
The piece I chose for my third study was the most complex. The original art by @animalshapes.bsky.social had fantastic details. Study #3 - buildings and dynamic lighting. I couldn't recreate the original art's amazing details but I could reinterpret and simplify them into something that works.
I wanted to share these studies to illustrate the PROGRESSION of learning a new skill. Trying something new feels awkward and you will stumble. But you integrate what you've learned and try again. You'll be competent before you know it. Thanks to @animalshapes.bsky.social for the inspiring art.

For my next study I made sure to block out the major shapes before delving into details. Edge control was a struggle, executed haphazardly. But the result is still readable. Study #2 - rocks, grass, and clouds: I tried to copy brushwork by the original artist (@animalshapes.bsky.social) verbatim.
The rare, elusive Sierra Nevada red fox. The original and best mountain fopsy that you'll never see. 🐾🦊
here's a fun question for you: what would your fursona be if it had to an animal that *actually lives in your area*? hard mode: no domesticated animals with a consequentially global range--that would mean, for example, canid and ungulate species have to be species actually found in the wild

An alumni booklet from my HS came with a 2pg spread featuring the grossest bully writing about the importance of character and that "how you treat people, that's who you are." 100% agreed. He was a real piece of shit. Today, I hope his actions match his rhetoric and that he's living his best life. 🕊️

@leafdubois.com wanted to help out on the farm today! I'm not sure who made him bite sized... But I'm grateful for the help nonetheless. 🚜🦊

I've been too busy to draw a comic out this #makeaterriblecomicday, so here's a throwback from late 2009; a 12th grade highschool assignment referencing a Burger King commercial, featuring characters from @leafdubois.com's 2000s comic, Raccoony!

It's impossible to find a restaurant that serves my childhood comfort foods so I had to learn how to make them myself! Savory soy milk soup (鹹豆漿), meat-stuffed pancakes (餡餅), and crispy sesame scallion bread (芝麻大餅). The soy milk is home-made. Next up: sesame flatbread (燒餅) and fried breadstick (油條).
