I Just Got A New Fun Idea And Zero Free Time :D

V.2

OMG! NEVER SEEN MY NAME AS A HASHTAG BEFORE! THAT'S SO COOL! Want anything from the gas station?

Truly made my day! Adding that to the bucket list and crossing it

Another thing I have wanting to do for ages and finally got the time was to redraw this a little bit.

Max’s and Chloe’s pose felt awkward and poorly drawn and didn’t match the vibe of the game I realised so kind tried to just draw them hanging out. Less action-game, more life-game.

Not that this is 10/10, there’s a giant gap in the picture but a step in the right direction

This day just keeps getting better and better

The Choice

The Choice. The important choice. For some, the final choice. The one needed to be made every single day. Choose if you can find the search for strength to fight just another day. Weak legs, fake smile, empty heart. The thoughts, the bullies, the oppressors, the search for the light in the end of the tunnel. The quiet fight. The unseen fight. The one bypassers won’t know about it until it’s too late.

The maths’ not perfect, I didn’t keep it in a journal or anything but 10 years ago now, I made a choice. I stared down into the abyss and said No and I have been saying No everyday since. Some days have been easier than others. And I’m grateful I did what I did. 10 years later, I have strengthened my bond with my family, I went to the most amazing high school and made friends. Once a childhood bully is today the best of them. I’ve travelled, I’ve made memories, I’ve gotten awards, met idols. I got to hold my nephews, hear them speak and walk and laugh with pure unfiltered joy. I got jobs and earned colleagues’ respect and proved myself and my oppressors that they were wrong. I’ve been a rock, I have inspired others to follow their dreams. I do matter, I should breathe this air too.

10 years and this topic is still as important to be as ever. 4 days ago was Suicide Prevention Day. I really wanted to make something about it but couldn’t come up with anything worth presenting until now.

So a friendly reminder, keep in touch with the people around you, check up on them, be there for them. Be a rock. Or ask for one. Turn to your contacts, you might be surprised how much they care if you let them.

Keep fighting, it will be worth it in the end.

So at Comic Con Stockholm, I went to an activity where you would learn to design your own hero or villain, expecting it to be held by some kind of indie-company I never heard of to learn… It was held by a high school teacher and his top students… yay.

So, not exactly the most in-depth or professional insights, he mostly just showed pictures from “How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way” and kept on calling Stan Lee an artist instead of a writer…

But I had an hour to kill so I stayed and the assignment was to create an element-based character and I felt “wow, fire’s often compared with destruction and water’s healing” stuff like that and to turn the tables so I wanted to make a fire-hero. And I had no clue what to do. So I started with the villain instead.

So yeah, basic stuff, he was big, towering, inspired by the sharp form of the triangle. I was creative and used fur to exacerbate the shape a little. I also taught one of the students about the bts of Star Wars and talked about how Stomtroopers and Vader’s helmet are supposed to look like skulls and wanting a little bit of that to hide my character’s humanity and make him look a little bit scarier.

Never got to the colours but imagined him in cold colours, white, blue. But also a little bit of brown for a fun contrast. I did sketch a few logos but decided to go without.

They were also supposed to have some artefact so I gave him a water-gauntlet, imagining the source of his powers and since I had also bought a bag with the “Great Wave of Kanagawa” printed on it, I decided to use that as the decorating of the gauntlet.

But with a kind of basic idea of the character, I think I have ideas on how to make his hero-counterpart.

A first for Autism Month, an original idea! Hans!

He got a neat hat. I love his hat.

Be like Hans.

Get a hat.

Were originally going to draw a blob but that would have become extremely insulting and only I would found it funny

Can’t say the weekend at Comic Con was the best weekend of my life but it had its moments. One highlight was seeing all the cosplay. Got a photo with some fellow Hufflepuffs, got a selfie with my favourite Doctor, stood behind a Newt in line and never saw him again so sadly no photo there. But I also saw a lot of young girls dressed up as Rey. These dedicated homemade costumes.

I’m not really the biggest Sequel-fan but after years of hate and negativity and toxicity online, it was fresh to see in person that these new films have their own fans. These films which for so long have been associated with such negativity and conflict is given some love as well.
