whoa I suddenly won something from this piece as well!

They took a while to get back to me but I kindly got the 1 month free access to their amazing reference library!

Much thanks as it’s quite a lot! I might still do these monthly challenges but without the hashtag because I don’t want to get the prize again – I’d rather someone else get a turn to win it! 😀

It is she!! She’s excited for an adventureeee

Princess Zelda happy with stars around her, she’s in her adventure/disguise robe outfit

It was this point where I was tired of lineart as the focus so I did the more painterly approach first here :0

Leonie rambles again!

  • somehow found myself talking & typing up a bunch of rambly essays about issues and perspectives
    • I don’t know if it’ll help in the long run but it’s nice to discuss these things and do what I can
    • also suggested things to peeps
    • if things don’t work out then at least I tried and I’ll focus on what I can juggle with
    • can’t say details but I spent so much time thinking/writing about this
    • I don’t usually speak up so this is not the norm – it’s time consuming too
  • sometimes I don’t even know if I’m helping or if people would help me out in the same way…
    • I don’t expect it because hoping/expecting for mutual support or reciprocation is asking to be hurt and disappointed :’)
    • and so far I don’t think things are mutual with most people so I just don’t speak up about it
    • but hey I don’t want to regret not doing things that feel right to me…
    • gah am I talking like a sad, lonely hermit now ;P
  • gosh I am not used to sharing my artistic or any other opinion in a group context…
    • I’m so used to my opinion not mattering as I’m in the minority
    • and my tastes are subjective ;P
    • and my needs/preferences/sensory issues are too niche to be catered for :’D
    • sometimes I feel disconnected/isolated and don’t want to share too much of myself in my work
    • social anxiety is a thing too and managing my low social energy levels
    • I do need to do better at times (pick my battles) so that do share my thoughts where appropriate
      • I guess at least with work?
      • not as much with other things because unsolicited opinions are not great/helpful
    • I do tend to hyperfocus and don’t switch gears well when in that mode
    • and sometimes I don’t feel safe to share too much
      • everyone has boundaries with this and it’s emotional workload in itself ;P
  • night time group social things are not for me – I’m a tired, low energy soul ;P
    • it’s uncomfortable when you can’t do 1 to 1 chats to keep overstimulation manageable
    • bummed but ah well I just focus on my managing my 1 to 1 lunch/walk chats and not stress about group things ;P
    • accepting I can’t be friends with everyone / self reminder
    • not sure who I would mutually want to befriend either as it’s a commitment for all parties to keep 1 to 1 things regular
      • it could just be a one off when it’s not really working out with friend capacity/time
    • yes I overthink these things ;P
  • caught up and ate lunch together with a kind friend/buddy <3
    • I got unexpected gifts too!! :’D
  • had some nice 1 to 1 catch up chats too 😀
  • someone got me stuck into sudoku (it’s been many years since I touched it)
    • now I’m just stumped at the advanced/medium stuff 🙁
    • I need to study strategies when I can juggle that in wah
    • it kind of helped break off my manga/manwha checking addiction weirdly enough haha
      • I don’t check everyday anymore
    • it engaged more of my brain (as well as picross!!)
  • learning fancy unity things much thanks to artist help at work!! :0
    • unity has so many things going on – sorcery!!
  • not sure how to feel about the Mario Galaxy Movie trailer
    • are the princesses distinct from each other anymore like what Schaffrillas said…??
    • why is it Galaxy when there’s Mario Odyssey stuff in here
  • am slowly watching Dispatch ep 3 and some adult humour/nudity I guess ;P
    • I do like some of the characters
  • also since I don’t go to these anymore, the Freeplay Parallels 2025 recording is out
    • a lot of nerves and some swearing haha
    • some sad, awkward, helpless chuckling about how times and the industry is not great
    • some interesting games though!
  • watched some Pluribus clips and trailers thus far and I don’t know if it’s for me
    • where is this show going?
  • hearing again how Amazing digital circus and Hazbin Hotel are popular these days
    • I am not sure if/when to watch…it feels like an overstimulating ride
    • I only saw the former’s pilot and that’s it
  • also how Chainsaw Man Reze Arc I hear is peak but I wouldn’t know ;P
  • slowly doing a low stress drawing challenge
    • not sure how to go about posting it since I’m quite behind on it…
    • I still feel behind on everything I plan
    • and what art projects / learning to focus on as it never ends
  • Gah I have my backlog of games to play and I am slow…
  • I have finished my low poly character project finallyyyy 😀
    • that took a lot of time to edit the timelapse for
    • it’ll come out hopefully before the end of year or January yay!
    • I can move on from doing modeling/hand painted texturing for now haha
  • I have some art to do,
    • figure out blender more (it never ends though…)
    • redo again??? my discord emotes when I get back to it…
    • finish up my own okonomiyaki character design…
    • continue with my drawing challenge and other studies if that ever happens
    • actually start my own personal project – once I figure that out 🙁
      • I wish I had a story to tell from the top of my head
      • I need to figure out storytelling as much as I enjoy learning art…
      • there’s so much to learn…I want to do what feels manageable for me but what??
      • I guess I’m scared of super long projects…I should be smart like other artists and do short projects
  • I’m not feeling strongly with the Game Award finalists given what happened to their program :/
  • just more active at my little discord server haha
    • I’ll keep mentioning it because I can ;P
    • usually me sharing stuff, media, resources and things of note really

Anyhoo I’m juggling with not much time so I’ll stop here!
