It’s been so many years I barely remembered my password. I’m rin8 (nickname currently set to pattroughton.)

I found you and friended you and invited you to a private board because random people busting in is less fun and more annoying to me.   So you should see the board and me under your private tab now. 

Maybe someone would like to play on iscribble with me?  we could draw dorky aliens together?  I can’t seem to make myself do anything but doodle nonsense but i would kind of like to hang with a person sort of there-ish? 

iscribble is a place where you can make doodles together on a pixel canvas plus chatroom? It is a good time? 

I opened Photoshop and was met with bleeding eye G’Kar.  There is something sitting my ask box that I’ve been sort of pondering the last day or so in relation to that.  I have to decide how to approach it, if at all.  I sometimes wish I wasn’t so intent on being thoughtful about my work so I could do the really gore-heavy stuff in fandom things without being concerned with the weight it carried and the connotations it might bring.  I love painting really gory or blood heavy things, but I’ve never taken a fandom thing to the level I like painting.  It’s easier to do the gore things with my own original work, particularly Banshee, because then there’s no worry about accusations of glorifying some iffy aspect of a relationship or whatever - it’s me defining it.   Fandom stuff is a little trickier, which is why you don’t see as much of it as you’d think you would from me.   

Plus, if I’m honest, more people like things without blood than with, and I sometimes have to weigh whether the time investment in a work is worth the lack of attention it will get.  


Anyway, I ended up watching a thing with my friend so have not started a damn thing, haha.  But for real this time.  I’m going to see if the hug doodles are worth my time to scan~  

Then I don’t know!  I should probably do the pencils for the thing I want to paint.  I don’t know how interesting that will be to watch on camera and it tends to take the most time, so it seems like a good idea to just have that ready and go right to painting if I stream tomorrow.

Anonymous asked: You didn't make me ship anything, but I was so crushed by the ending to Babylon 5, and your amazing art/happy headcanons/general enthusiasm about the show (and Londo Mollari in particular) cheered me up immensely! I just wanted to thank you for that!

Oh, friend, you are welcome.   My therapy is your therapy.  

I said when I ended the thing initially that I really needed to apply fandom like a soothing balm, and I think that is definitely how it has served me.  I’m happy to see it’s easing the burn for others as well!  One is in for a whole world of hurt when one chooses Londo Mollari as a favorite, so I am doing my duty to spread joy to others similarly afflicted.  

Honestly, I’m glad that A) a lot of people who already get me and my particular style of fanning are joining this miserable/wonderful little train and B) that the people who were here before I got on seem to like what I’m doing too!   There are different cultures in different fandoms, you know?  I was a little worried about what I’d find, and that covering things in glitter would not be looked well upon, so I was pretty set on deciding to make a fandom out of people I already think are rad.  Luckily, there were some fabulous people built right in, so now anyone I add will be in even more good company, haha.

today’s sketchbook doodles were hugs and plans for the proper illustration i want to do 

not quite as tonal whiplash as the last few pages, thankfully, though I don’t think the illustration is really ‘happy’ or anything

Okay, sort of weighing my options here on the livestream front.  

Largely, like, do I want to do this image traditionally or not.  I mean, sort of mostly, but there’s also some appeal in not having to get everything ready.  There’s a lot of fuss to set up the stream when it’s traditional, but I think it’s enjoyable for people to see it?  Or at least more educational?  

Not that my digital ones have ever been educational even a little, they’re largely wailing. 

clearly the solution is fuck around with word documents or doodles until i make some kind of decision.
