january 2026 - week 01
Sunday, January 11th, 2026 11:25 amhello hello! first entry of the new year. sure has. sure has been a week. >xD;;
guess i'll start with how the first week using the new art schedule went.
in short: it went well! there're just a few things i quickly realized i hadn't accounted for in terms of cool down sketches. one of my friend groups has a weekly x-files night every monday or tuesday, which takes up what would have been sketching time. and wednesdays are a bit of a fuller weekday for me, meaning less time for art stuff. thinking i might do an "every other week" sort of things with wednesdays, where one week i use that art time for project work and the next week i use it for sketching time, then the next week i return to project work and so on.
been making great progress on nyxram's profile. i've got the doll for her closet samples finished, as well as the three bases for her turnaround. the challenging part is here, though, because now a lot of my time is gonna be spent re-designing her armor and also generally exploring what triceraton civvies may look like. my current approach is greek/roman attire with a bit of a space/futuristic twist. there're canonical nods toward roman aesthetics in the show, and i think the concept of clothing that's 'simple' and loose fitting works for who/what the triceratons are. ...now i just gotta fake it til i make it until something looks nice. but hey! gave myself a good window of time to get this whole thing completed, and this is why.
uuuh what else. --went to a small event yesterday with a friend! it was a bit last minute, but i'm glad i went. i've got about 24% of my root words for liáfsini's conlang locked in. i'm roughly halfway through two of the books i'm reading for a rat book club this month (one good, one cursed). been in a bit of physical discomfort the past few days, but i think that's just how shark week's gonna be since The Bullshit™ back in september. as far as things in my control have been, it's been a decent enough week.
--oh, i didn't get any art studies done, though, in part due to the unexpected event yesterday. other part because... i kinda forgot to settle on a topic of study for the month. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ fjdkfj my bad.
think that's all i got for now! will post a separate entry later today for sketchbook sunday, to keep my babbling and my art separate. take care! 🖤🌷
