#boringpost

Then I became an adult and realized that's just what life is actually like.

Boring post is boring. This is the part I hate about my method of digital coloring. It feels like it takes forEVer to create all these paths, but my color process goes so much faster and stays so much cleaner because of it. My colors also won't take up more than two or three layers too. #boringpost #itmustbeuglybeforeitspretty #drawing #painting #digitalcolor #digitalpainting #artprocess #photoshop #fanart #anime #gatchaman #battleoftheplanets #workinprogress #lines #kentheeagle #joethecondor #juntheswan #scienceninjateam #artistsoninstagram #samantha_johnson_art

I was thinking about this and suddenly this concept flashed through my brain for a kind of sardonic children's book told in the format of the classic "ten little [whatever]s" rhyme, but about a mama duck with ten ducklings. One by one they get killed off, by getting eaten by predators or getting sick or whatever, until it's just the mama duck all alone again. And she's like "Welp, guess I'll just have to try again next year." And the book ends with a cute little rhyme about how this story might make you feel sad, but stuff like this happens in nature all the time.
