[Art + Work round-up] What I did instead of Doomscrolling this week: 10/24-11/1

Week 2 into my experiment of limiting my social media use collided with an email from bluesky that on Friday, I was subject to a 24 hour ban for an incident from 2 weeks ago involving my anecdote about not liking a pizza..... The Australia affair continues to haunt me, with this month marking 6 years since I went to Indonesia, Australia, and Turkey for the strangest trip of my life.

Anyways, here's what I did this week:

1. 45+ Comic thumbnails

I decided to start thumbnailing the first arc of my comic in my downtime, since they're not detailed and the arc is mostly written, I'd say I'm roughly a third through that arc, though that might change based on the middle part of the story!

first few pages were fairly bare gestures but nearing the end I got fully into the groove with some early page thumbnails I like

2. Got an actual page finished!

You can read it on my [ BRAND NEW COMIC WEBSITE ]

3. Main website updates

You can see at [ my website ] where I also got some nifty code for these little 'New badges' on my nav bar, although I think I might end up completely gutting and redoing the bar for better navigation and/or adding a sitemap.

I also now have a little place for my adoptables and pixel clubs I plan on going.

4. Got my art learning challenge post up!

COMPVEMBER [a composition challenge for everyone] - Multi-hyphenate

bc everyone was doing something for October but October was hella busy

5. Bunch of writing drafts in various degrees of completion.

i got programmer handwriting, sorry lol

I think that's it for this week, not bad though!
