“SOMEBODY” was concerned that too much of my stuff is snarky and/or negative. So I made this. You can tell it’s a self-portrait because of the rippling biceps (not pictured: abs of steel).
i hate your ideas
The scanner washed it out a little – the hair is yellow and the text is green, albeit very pastel so it’s not like you’re missing out on a lot. Just figured I’d throw that in there.
The pens I used were the Sakura Glaze (black) and Sakura Souffle (the colors) – I’m not a huge fan of the Souffle just because they dry to be so pastel, but I was impressed by how easily they went over the paint. The Sakura Glaze will probably become my go-to pen, I’m kind of excited about it. 
yes, my next 15 entries will be snow pictures
I’m glad somebody was productive on their snow day. I like that one of them has a bow tie.
These icicles make me think of an iron maiden, all spiky and whatnot. I did not stand directly underneath them to take the photo. 
This one is actually outside my work – those picnic tables look so sad and cold.
None of my pictures come out the way I want them to, but I’m not sure what I want. IDK they seem kind of low contrasty or something (to be fair the top two were taken in fading light). Plus I can’t access my paintshop (to fiddle with them) because it’s locking me out and I have to call Corel tech support to fix it. Which obviously I haven’t done yet. I’ve had this issue for like 2 years (it keeps making me “activate” the program and now I’ve hit the activation cap – again) so maybe it’s time to switch to photoshop anyway. The customer support (not tech support) lady said that any changes to my system – including driver updates or plugging/unplugging a camera wtf could cause the program to reset. That’s obnoxious.
