Figure studies from MoChu; finally added values to them

also finished up one of the half finished pages!

Yes I’m buying myself time while I’m not feeling well with my eye too.

New ravamp of the Dinosaur World in Crossy Road!

Much kudos to Art Lead Brendon T. (and the art director Alice Walsh in the early stages and with feedback between them too) for updating the environment/world visuals in a more colourful and clear way with lava and rampaging Trexes! And Brendon also did the feature/key art for this update! And of course the whole dev and marketing team for juggling and making this all come together!

Happy that my first Crossy Road world from 2016 is now changed for the better ten years later :’D I don’t have to hear people criticising the environment anymore :’P

For this update I helped with making the two new characters Dino Nuggies and Fish Legs; I’ll talk about them next time ;P

Leonie update; my eye hurts

• my eye got infected (pink eye??)
  • it got worse with pain and more bloodshot yesterday and I started spiraling
  • so I managed to talk to a doctor to get medicine…it was a long 3+ hr queue though
    • wished there was a wait time or what number in the queue I was!!
  • it happened first whilst sleeping – my eye got attacked by my sleeping eye mask while I moved is my guess??
    • and bacteria probably got me then?
    • I don’t know – the ache started the night after and then it got worse the next day/Saturday
  • I will probably not wear a sleeping eye mask anymore because I keep injuring/infecting my eye with it when I sleep
    • what am I doing – am I just uncomfortable and struggling to get it off my face??
  • it hurts my eye, my brow and cheek around it, affecting my sinuses around it on that side and I’m just hoping it gets better within this week 🙁
    • hurts especially when I chew or sniffle (from the cold weather) or when I blink
  • I don’t feel well right now because of it as it stings, gives me slight headache at end of the day and affects my focus at the moment so hopefully this blog post isn’t too confusing
  • I’m also more conscious of my tiny permanent eye floater in one of my eyes wahhhh
• getting medication for something else too ugh
  • life is a lot of juggling and tracking aaaaaah
• cut out chinese micro dramas and started to stop watching romance manhua / manga / manhwa recaps too
  • they’re really low quality, addictive, mindless, trashy and accelerated soap opera, comfort fast food, repetitive escapism slop for me that I need to quit this endless black hole
  • I would like to protect my cognitive capacity and time better
  • I will track how well I keep away from them
  • east Asian countries are more blatant in their use of genAi and it’s just even more rampant in recap videos and taking a lot of live action film jobs due to its use to pump out microdrama productions and taking actors likenesses for genAi actors too :/
  • maybe when I feel lonely and/or want to procrastinate I’ll just focus on art, learning, streams, games or something else with more intention :<
  • I don’t know where I get my comfort romance fix though…
• I am getting secondhand experience of Romance of the Three Kingdoms 1994 TV show in the past few months and I might do fanart
  • there is so, so much bromance that it’s hilarious in how they pretend it’s not romantic
• denshattack game
  • I watched it in the background and I didn’t really pay attention to the story as it wasn’t compelling nor interesting for me
  • a streamer I watch said it’s interesting there’s no Japanese characters in this game when everything is set in Japan
  • there’s some 2D cutscenes that didn’t look too great and looked rushed
  • overall it is a fun game that’s not for me
• Splatoon Raiders
  • I would like more single player stuff but I’m burnt out on fast paced, chaotic Splatoon gameplay so it’s not for me
  • it was neat to know there’s more lore but I don’t know about it
• GDID – Microsoft’s Secret Windows Tracker That Can’t Be Turned Off
  • stressing me out but I’m stuck with google / microsoft products UGH
• Underlying misogyny of Big Romantic Gestures
  • it’s nice in fiction
  • but in real life it’s stressful, problematic and too much
• Meetings / contributing better after / before them
  • yeah I can’t contribute much during meetings as I’m overstimulated
  • also with group social chats too…
  • it’s hard to make friends when you just listening and that’s all the social energy you have
• I was disappointed by a croissant as the chocolate wasn’t really much :<
• having tax data update issues whelp – getting kind help though
• work is a juggle but doing my best as usual
• changing my face care routine felt overwhelming – trying to introduce daily sunscreen to my routine
  • I am not used to having to wash my face another time at night UGH
  • I had to look up if it was necessary and turns out I can’t be lazy and even though I didn’t do it daily all this time, I should start now
  • being careful with windows but I have bright windows that can’t be avoided 🙁
  • I did do UV window film but turns out they last up to 10 years??? So it’s not lasting…
  • a lot of overthinking and figuring out my new routine and it depends on the day too!!
  • a lot of figuring out what to get for facial cleaning and sunscreen when I get the chance too
    • too many overwhelming options UGH
• because of the Wicker movie trailer, I read the Wicker Husband short story
  • it’s a story from the early 2000’s yet it mirrors on how people and kids are hooked on genAi companions no…
  • though here the villagers are jealous/envious on what they don’t have and it’s comparing apples and oranges in other ways
  • how is the wicker husband moving at all……?!
  • having a house husband like this – it feels like he has no personal agency or life of his own
    • the girl forgets that he’s not really a real person who can create a baby or cheat with other people because he’s created to support only her
    • some food for thought
• I don’t know how my blog got almost 4k views in the past month when few actually read my blog posts!!
  • it’s more like 2-10 kind peeps reading! I am not famous ;P
  • I don’t get it – maybe it’s my old art getting results where people glance over
• considering instagram again but not enough to actually do it – just fomo
• random dry coughing due to asthma and/or hot dry air presumably whelp
• I am slowly playing through the first Great Ace Attorney game
  • just started case 2 and so far it’s so silly and over the top
  • so this is what Sholmes is like….WOW

Okay there’s going to be more figure studies as strive to take things slow and to get better from my eye infection first. Being forced to slow down just when I am trying to cut out addictive media consumption :<

Taking things by stride all the same!

Thanks for readinggggg!
