art journal: (mostly two-point) perspective
(03/24/25)
i want to document my understanding of drawing backgrounds-
first thing i found out was that:
this is a basic idea of what i got when experimenting-
i actually tried to revise the sketch over and over to make sure it'll pay off when i line everything else.
oh yeah- if you want to add flat objects to the walls (e.g posters), just draw guidelines according to wall's perspective, draw the 'poster' flat, use the free transform and resize it to fit your already drawn guidelines
it's hard to explain in words so i'll probably make a visual guide here ^^''
first thing i found out was that:
- zooming out is your best friend
- constant revisions are also your best friend
- have your perspective points outside of view for a 'scene'
- draw a vertical perpendicular line on the vanishing points to make drawing boxes easier
- create a smaller box (w/ the same aspect ratio as your preferred canvas)
- mark vanishing points outside the box then add lines
- draw vertical perpendicular line(s) on vanishing point(s)

hypotheticals, embracing absurdity and micro-nihilism
(03/22/25)
update on the wallace wells shrine: i made a full on page with resources and everything so far
ohmygod i need help
i like to think that hypotheticals help out with anxiety.
instead of wondering if the worse would happen, you can imagine any funny absurd thing that most likely won't happen- like what if any source of wi-fi or internet just suddenly shut down worldwide and there was a post-apocolyptic flood and you survived somehow. you want to communicate with anybody, your family, friends or seek for any source of entertainment-- what would you do?
i like to think that people would end up forming pirate clans due to the worldwide hysteria of (god forbid) no social media- that'd be so funny- like they'd use any boats/cruise ships that survived the massive flood and gather any supplies they can like actual pirates. and the navies are laughing their asses off 'cus their surviving underwater whilst chaos ensues from above- underwater facilities are most likely going to gather supplies that sank as well-
genuine hypothetical question: i wonder how the rich would feel- seeing their million dollar mansion become engulfed by nature-- BUT ANYWAYS- how id survive:
(i mean to clarify, to scale, the flood isn't as tall as most famous monuments-- basically as tall as a few hundred men stacked upon eachother)
basically i'd drink the all the water until there is none left. or like id jump all the way to the stratosphere and lift the gallons of water lapis lazuli steven universe style to the point where aliens would notice the turmoil- then i would soar down back to earth (that is now in a deserted state) and destroy the earth's crust, creating collateral damage each second, blowing up the entire planet.
i just threw away all the world-building only to make an absurd answer- it isn't logical and that's fun to me

shrines, music and big confusion
(03/07/25)
i should search up some shrines or even make my own... like imagine if there's a wallace
wells shrine- or if not i'd be the first one LMAO im typing this in real time i don't know
if there is one
i noticed that i only produce music when i'm in my feelings- i don't really remember making music in a good mood, i have to be melancholic af. it never really was the same with art- it's specifically with music. ironically i release the finished ep when i'm in a good mood LOL
currently working on my 3rd ep, i just need a visualizer
on a serious note, i've been thinking about the line between reality and my head- the mind in general, really.
i don't know if anyone needs to hear this but, it's for those with anxiety and/or who daydreams a lot.
to me, anxiety is like creating timelines in your head that most likely won't happen. you create so many possibilities- but you also forget that only one possibility will happen. and this applies to the good and bad. pessimism or optimism is present but thinking realistically isn't.
nothing is really gained from thinking of what could possibly happen, when you have the power to prove that it will or won't. all this effort of trying to predict every scenario will use every bit of your time, and all this energy could've been channeled to actions that help you to better yourself.
best wishes^^

YCHs, commissions and what's next
(02/26/25)
i've been wondering what to do after i've finished doing YCHs (or just taking a break after
it)-
i'll probably make more art again, but i'd hate to do the same thing i've been doing during last december...
i want to be commissioned for things that people and artists can use flexibly, rather than just the conventional half-body-full-body type commission.
pagedolls are a start! i managed to use my own pagedolls across three platforms with html ^^-
i'm still thinking of what other 'interactive' commissions types i can do. i'm also planning to get verified on vgen too hopefully you'll see me there:)

intro, pre-uploaded
(02/21/25, 22ish)
i'm typing this before i'm releasing this blog thing. you know, in hindsight i doubt that
anyone would read this stuff, but i'll write my heart out /lh lol
i've been really happy with how toyhouse is going- i'm glad people are seeing my work ^^
WAIT BY THE WAY-- not to flex but ohmygod how did this take me a week (with breaks in between) to SET THIS UP??? i mean i've done toyhouse and tumblr html but i'm shocked!!
but in other words i was extremely addicted to making this... i had so much fun
