Condensation

So...

Hi! 

Today I had the thought (one I've had before) that I missed the community on the Shard and finally decided to act on it. So I'm back! I don't think I'll do much for now, I'm trying to ease back into it so I don't overwhelm myself. But just opening this gives me good feelings, so I hope to do so much with all the amazing people here! 

Hi there! Welcome friend

Hey there y'all. 

Prom's today, I'm going stag, and so my friends, Vapor, and I went to savers for a "day date". It was a PARTY. 

Also, I got an odd1sout hoodie that should be like $40 for $5 instead. 

And $80 worth of books for less than $20.

I was so excited, y'all, savers has fabulous deals. 

Hi, sorry, you posted on the Just Villains RP? I just wanted to let you know that since the last post on it was a while ago, that thread is technically "dead" and shouldn't be posted on any longer.

Welcome to the Shard!

Okay, y'know what? I am going to be present. That is my new goal. I am going to be here at *least* once a week. 

Hello! I've returned! 

OMGoodness I'm a MISTBORN yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy 

Thanks, y'all!

Also is it just me, or has the number of status updates increased rapidly recently? *says in status update*

also it smells like food and mmmmmmmmm (my school thing we're making food)

Heyyyyyyyyyyyy so it's my Shardiversary!

No way I'm thanking all 92 of you... so don't feel bad if I leave you out, you're awesome peoples and my ADD brain just forgot you don'tfeeloffendediloveyouallplatonically

@Vapor and @Mist! I love you guys! I've been missing you, Mist, and will continue. It's always so fun when I see you on and can say hello! Vapor, you're definitely a lot closer to me than Mist physically (hah we share a room) so obviously I don't miss you, but I'm so glad we can be here to support each other at the same time as we fight. Happy Shardiversary, V! I was definitely on first.

@Zephrun's Imperium, Happy Shardiversary! I love sharing a Shardiversary with you. Congrats on 3 years, and here's to many more! I love your art, it's soooo gooooood! Thanks for the coloured pencils and always being there to chat!

@Channelknight Fadran! Where would I be without you and your amazing RPs, exuberance, and support? Thank you for being there for V when she needs you. I'll never forget joining the Shard and being welcomed as a very amateur RPer by the Fellowship of the Thing!

@DramaQueen! You are so talented and fun to be around! You also look epic in a goatee. Thanks for being welcoming, can't wait to see Kimora back, and sorry about the train thing.

@Ed Venture, you are an amazing human. You're so caring and kind and are always there when I'm feeling down - even when both of us should probably be sleeping. Thanks for keeping me accountable for my own self-health. Drink more water, remember you're beautiful, and read Blue Matter on Webtoons!

@Tesh! aaaaaaaaaaaaa Hadestown music is so good! As soon as I learn the lyrics, I'll be ready to spam them with you! (don't worry, mods, not on the Shard.) Lost my feather, but what really mattered was knowing you. I hope you and Kaladin have an epic new year!

@DoomStick, gotta love your lower-than-average height, ya shortie. It is incredible how you are always on Discord when I get on. Seriously, do you never sleep? Thanks for being a friend, and maybe someday I'll find the right pair of heels to top you.

Ene! Can't find your username, am I just losing my mind? You're epic! I'm running out of things to say, dang it. Thanks for the cute mitten-wish I could actually wear it.

Anyway I know I missed a lot, but I hope I got a lot of you. At least, I hope I get everyone who checks this. Oh wait maybe - Hi, Storming Stormfather! You're so good at checking status updates!

Okay. Yeah, it's been an amazing two years! It's been a ride, but y'all have gotten me through it. I'll be posting some art later, so stay tuned, but I love you all platonically! Sorry for all offenses, imagined and real, and I hope we'll have many more years together!

I found this in my local supermarket. 

 Because *everyone* wants to be able to have a real live parasite in their own home! 

Laughed about that. And also this. You can tell it's really warm in my house today. 

 See? It's 90 degrees!

Got some extras today because I missed and plus it was the last day yesterday. Maybe I should keep doing this! 

Essentially what these are is Descendants or Ever After High, but muy own spin on it. Children of fairy tale characters! 

 

Here is arts for today. 

M-Bot! (Very very slight Cytonic spoilers, not plot-relevant.) (Like very slight) 

Obviously there's a bit of creative license there with the colouring and lenses and whatnot. 

And then how about Insomnia and Nightmare from Renegades by Marissa Meyer in a different style? 

I also did Honey Harper and myself (as well as Lights) in the same style but obviously I can't share the one of myself. Duh.

In honour of the read-through of Crystellation that I've been doing today (longer than you might think) I have two comparison Chorale arts! Look how much I've improved yay such good 

One from... a little less than a year ago (it's in my sketchbook a couple arts after the art for Secret Sharder last year) 

And one from fairly recently. I think it was probably this term. (Think past month and a half) 

 Obviously it's black and white (it was meant to be a minor doodle) and it's one of my favourite drawings. That pose is on point!!!

 Wait, you guys! Do you realize just how many dad jokes I could have been making, and missed out on? 

One word. Fluke.

Consider the possibilities! 

(Also if you are getting random reputation and you're on Crystellation it's me I'm reading through) 

Today (yesterday) I have this lovely llamia

And this girl in a ballgown, who I did a while back when I was more active in Masquerade!

I had a hard time choosing the colour of her dress - I did some examples and liked the pink and blue combined, but there was also this super pretty red and black. I ended up choosing this one because it fit Alienor better. 

On the second day of finals, Connie gave to you, 

Melody plus clones, 

 And an awful mermaid in seas of blue! (Why even, markers? Why even?)

 

Art dump begins now! 

(I meant to start on Sunday but didn't have computer. Sorry.)

First of all, Minuet from Let's go find a dragon! This one was tough, but I wanted to experiment with poses and different hair types, and what better way to do that than with people who are inside my head already? 

 Next is a black and white that I did for Inktober. It's not the best, but the best is yet to come. 

And it's being funky. Is that sideways for you guys, too? (Shout-out to my fellow Edgar Allen Poe fans!)

WAIT WHAT AAH SINCE WHEN WHAT DO I DO

whelp

two posts to figure out what I feel like doing for 15,000

hmmm maybe huge art dump? All in favour? I have a lot that I've just... left alone. I went through this time when I just drew children of fairy-tale characters or things like that.

And I drew Minuet and have sketches of Andante and Crescendo. No Diminuendo yet.

Plus there's a super epic Chorale I did that I'm really proud of...

huh. art.

yay

ookla season

so hyped

okay so stick and I were texting and I agreed that if he got more than half of the active members on a discord to "sign" a petition then I'd be ookla the short (because I trusted people  ) and then he got it but he wouldn't agree to the same but I tried anyway but no one saw it essentially because I went about it wrong

it was a petition. how could I say no?

fyi I am actually above average height and if you sig fig correctly while you calculate to centimeters then I'm technically the same height as both stick and fadran

Yay! 90 followers!

Also I learned all the things about myself from a fren who has those things too. It was very good and I am the way I am for a reason.

And that reason is ADD/ADHD.

Wait... how did this happen? All of the RPs that I'm in... aren't active... and all of the active RPs... are ones that I'm not in!

#necromancy

Who's with me?

Hey remember Condensatlon?

that was funny.

*sigh*

*keyboard smash*

ignore me

ok I don't think I can ever post on FGaRS again

because I synced them up. Posts is now exactly 3,000 ahead of content. so I'll hit thousands at the same time and I don't have to worry about trying to do both! Just hit 15,000 content? Good job, I just hit 18,000 posts as well!

yayyyyyyyy

So I look at Inktober for people, including myself

and I just think it's cool what our minds go to straight off the bat.

Take Syn, for instance. Their most recent Inktober, Patch, was a person with an eyepatch. They also said they originally wanted to draw someone with patches on their skin, but realized it might be gross.  XD

I saw the prompt and immediately thought of patching a wound (and the colour green, for some reason). No idea why my mind went there, I'm not interested in a medical profession at all (cannot even blood) but it did.

Brains are cool, okay?

I'm a Tarachin Superstar!!!

Thanks, y'all!!!

I love your profile pic.

Were you aware you have the same number of status updates as Chaos?

'cause that's cool.
