Day 1 of #marchmonthofmythology is Eos - new dawn, new TBR
*
This is pretty ambitious but also a bit tentative. I’m reading Harry Potter 5 and The Hobbit for @themagicbookclub (hopefully really this time 😅) and Measure for Measure is on there because it’s ridiculous how long I’ve had it lying around.
And American Gods is a “maybe this month, maybe next”, I just want to reread it before the TV show starts. Plus there’s a couple of books that I’ve ordered but that haven’t arrived yet but one or two probably ends up on my immediate TBR as well when it’s here.
Finally every shot I have of this was photobombed by Twister, who decided she had to check out what I was doing so have the top of her head 😂

All of my fears have suddenly disappeared
This honestly made me feel so safe
Perfection. It made me feel super safe to.
So I turned up my volume to listen to this and after it plays, not five minutes later, my sister comes into my room and says “Did you just play that audio post of Mark singing?”
So I said yeah and she was like “Fucking heard that shit across the hall” and I can’t stop laughing
OK SO SHE JUST CAME IN AND SAID “YOU PUT THAT ON THE POST” AND NOW SHE’S SCREAMING
“ARE YOU REBLOGGING THE POST AGAIN STOP I DON’T WANT THIS TO BE MY LEGACY”
make this her legacy

I miss the movies that were being made in like 2000-2005. Shit like Pirates of the Caribbean, Lord of the Rings, Van Helsing, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. And I could just watch stuff and like things without feeling like a shitty person for it. I miss having to wait for soundtracks and how difficult it was to hunt them down on Limewire. I miss being immersed in those movies and being about 13ish and thinking it was the coolest shit I’d ever seen. It wasn’t really a happy time in my life, but I’ve never felt so inspired to write my own stories since then.

a thing i only recently realized i knew abt character design that isnt just common sense apparently:
do not start ur character design by doing a full, refined turnaround/model sheet.
like. everyone in my childrens book il class is fuckin doing this even though most of them are illustration majors and its a huge mistake (our prof literally warned them against this, and YET)
any time you design a character, start by not caring. by just doing what feels right. dont settle on the first thing; play around. and then draw your character a shitload of times before u start a ref sheet
dont finish anything, just. do super fast sketches of them over and over and over. fill up a page or two. as you draw them theyll evolve. that will happen whether your sketch it out at the beginning or jump right into a final draft, and lemme tell u, u do NOT want ur character evolving and changing AFTER ur final draft. u want to get that out of the way early so u can get a decently consistent finished product
then when you go to do your model sheet you will already be able to keep your character on model without it bc youve drawn them a shitload of times. then it wont be “struggling to draw the character the same every time” itll just be “this is what the character looks like and i could draw them with my eyes closed bc of muscle memory”
dont just jump in and be like “shit i gotta have this full complex polished thing right out of the gate!” like. in the beginning, Do Not Work Hard. play. play a lot. and THEN do a refined drawing. your refined drawing will look way better, too, bc by then youll be completely comfortable with your design
its just a super bad idea to present a character as “heres a ref sheet” as soon as you have a concept. your concept will evolve and u have to let it, or else ur designs will look rushed/bad and your drawing will looks stiff and uncomfortable bc u can only draw ur character at a ¾ths view in a particular pose bc youve drawn them twice in ur entire life
