'Cause I like to keep my issues drawn
It's always darkest before the dawn

-Florence + the Machine: Shake it Out


Right so I've been kinda bleh all over as of late and heard this song and just kind of... yes. It spoke to me. And to Stary, who has also been having issues lately.

To make a long story short, I've been notoriously bad at keeping friends and keeping conversation and it's been bothering me. I'm bad at initiating conversation and keeping touch and it's detrimental to me. It's also detrimental to Stary here because lots of said people handle characters important to her, and her emotions often reflect on me. (Not the other way around, as sometimes happens with characters.)

So I guess this is a bit of a catharsis? Idk. I wish it would help me more than just being a lovely vent and offering me insight at the same time, but sad to say I don't think much will change because of me.

More on the art: I really like rainy pics lately. I like playing around with rain and the effects where it hits people and the way it looks. I'm working on perfecting how I want it to look so I'm still experimenting, but I'm very pleased with how it looks here. Yay for blurring things

Additionally, my old tablet bit the dust halfway through this, so I switched to my new (bought from goodwill brand new) Graphire2 for the lineart and coloring and damn. It's way more pressure sensitive than my bamboo was so it's a lot easier for me to do tiny details, but it's also harder for me to do long strokes. I'll get used to it.

omg. Real art. Shocking, I know.

I like how you captured the rain and the freckles.
