It's been a long time since I've been able to sit down and really do a full piece. I took a nap today and when I woke up I decided to do some kind of screen cap redraw.

Past few months has been crazy and exhausting to say the least. I'm in a position where I'm attending classes, teaching classes, and tutoring. I'm on like week 6 of the semester right now and I've been burnt out since week 4 so it's really hard for me to do anything except school work and staring into space. I know a lot of this might be because the virus is still happening and there are a lot of things I need to work around because of this, but so far I really am not happy where I'm at, and that's scary. After the graduate program, I'll be in high education for 6 years, and if it turns out that I cannot stand what I did all this preparation for...what am I supposed to do? I've been feeling lost a lot lately. It's scary, but you know, not acting panicked yet. All of this shit I've been feeling might just be because of the virus.

I know art and Newgrounds are things that I still would love to pursue. I just want to do something that makes people happy. I don't know. Well, I decided that I had enough energy to put into this.

I tried some different stuff with the shading, I used like a comic dots tool because I thought it would look cool. I don't really think I like it though. I didn't change it before posting because I basically just did this for something to do. I didn't take this redraw very seriously at all. I think at some point it would be fun to redraw one of my old DeviantArt pieces! Maybe I'll do that later tonight or in a few days. I definitely want to work on some more art, it's just hard to not let my work and grades and et cetera get in the way of that.

I'd still like to draw some scenes I liked while reading The Shining, and I still think it's fun to do NSFW shit sometimes. I'm just terrible at anatomy most days and other days I'm alright. I also know a lot of porn stuff is very clean -- which sometimes I feel like I shouldn't worry about too much. It's obvious I'm an artist that likes lines to be messy and sharp, maybe I should find ways to lean into that more without it looking like trash.

Anyway, thanks for checking this out and for sticking with me.
