Some previews of art cards I've been working on. I would sell originals but the amount of time they take makes them kinda spendy so I'm going to opt for art card booster packs with themes that are prints instead. (indie game theme - Oxenfree, and Rainworld, Night in the Woods). I'm not super active on tumblr but post more regularly here too:

Has this been done yet
I wanted to share some thoughts about line art that has been bothering me for a while. Sometimes, I get an initial idea for something but cant execute it how I'd like. At first my drawing seems satisfactory to me but as it gets more detailed it becomes more bland. How is this possible? no idea. Many of my drawings end up this way, where they are bland to me but interesting to others but never get posted anywhere. Actually I would say this is the majority of my work. I thought that I would post one such drawing I had been working on. It began as an idea. I wanted to do a double card size picture because I didn't have interesting enough backgrounds for my tastes lately. The challenging part of making a picture that is split into 2 parts is making the composition interesting for both. Sometimes this means the whole image is a bit less dynamic than it could be otherwise. The picture in question is this one
I brainstormed several compositions but landed on one that is very simple and guides the eye in both well. This new project is a challenge and I felt like sharing progress was important. Too often I get told I'm very good at what I do when it comes to various hobbies, but behind that it takes a lot of time and iteration that is unseen. Behind every success or good picture is 10 deemed not worthy. Now of course I can keep iterating on this if I wanted and I may or may not get a better result than what I have here, but part of making artwork is working with the marks you make sometimes. I'm sure it will continue to grow into something I can be happy with as I work on it. If it doesn't end up that way, it was in of itself a learning experience and still valuable in that way.

We laugh at how The Art of War is basically just, "An army can't fight if the soldiers aren't eating," but I'm reading this document about conservation of ancient yew trees and it legitimately says, "You should never fill the center of a hollow yew with concrete," so I think that probably making blatantly obvious statements is just the bane of being a specialist in anything
Ah yeah, that's actually not so bizarre when you know the reasons behind it. Still extremely wrong but understandable at least.
So yew trees are weird. They are extremely long lived with basically no known upper limit to their age. They do this by simply being extremely good at not dying like other trees do.
When a normal tree gets to an old age what usually happens is a fungus gets into their heartwood and takes hold. Their internal, dead wood rots away and they hollow out, lose structural support and collapse. Depending on the species this process can take decades or a good few centuries or so.
While yew trees do hollow out in this way they simply keep going afterwards. A ring shaped yew tree with most of its trunk missing is actually just middle aged and the most ancient yews get even weirder than that.
Wikipedia has this image of a Scottish yew where the start of this hollowing process can be seen. To be clear - for most tree species this would already have been fatal.
The thing is seeing a very old yew in this condition looks wrong to a tree surgeon, it's like the tree is constantly on the verge of death. So, if it's a well loved tree you try and do what you can to stop it from falling apart entirely.
A hundred years ago people tried all sorts of things like chaining up branches and also, yes, plugging the hollowed trunk with concrete. We know better nowadays.
Funnily enough there are even yews that survived this treatment and are still alive today.
This is a picture of the Tisbury yew in 1998 from the Ancient Yew Group, barely a minute ago from the tree's perspective.
Yews are fascinating plants with roots in European culture as ancient as the trees themselves. A few individual specimen trees are even estimated to be around five thousand years old - literally prehistoric in age.
Oh also they do weird things with sex as well sometimes. One of the oldest UK trees, the Fortingall yew appears to partially be turning from male to female on one side. It'll be interesting to see what becomes of it in the next few centuries of its life.
Sorry if this is all stuff you already know, I couldn't resist a chance to infodump about one of my favourite species.
there is nothing lemon squeezy about any of this

My insomnia has been so bad lately. I legit am wondering what is going on -_- it isn't normal to be tired a whole day from not getting sleep the night before and still not be able to sleep. I am being haunted, I'm sure of it.

gender essentialism is soooo funny bc it's like "this is what women are like" and you're like "I've met women and many of them, if not the majority, have not been like that" and it's like "well women SHOULD be like that" and you're like "why should women be like that" and its like "because that's what women are like"
burnout from not doing anything
1am seems to be when my brain decides it wants to try and learn from 20+ year old footage that has been wrung dry of any substance decades ago.
the thing about talking about trauma and abuse and human behavior is that you will inevitably reach people who are themselves extremely traumatized and sometimes they get really angry at you because they are projecting a lot of really huge bad feelings onto the things that you say. which is really unpleasant but I guess something of an occupational hazard

Life spoiler: if you have problems with something someone is doing staying quiet won't make it stop. Someone else will pay for that choice if not yourself.
