i sometimes like characters that fucking suck. when a character is a shit head in just the right way it can be so funny and/or compelling. like this is my beloved character, Asshole The Hater. they suck and i love them. someone dropped them into a ditch on the side of the road and i picked them out of the ditch and put them in my pocket
100 Day Doodle Challenge (2/100) Ni no kuni
Art challenge based on this.
"I thought I might be able to see something I couldn't before"
"To think I'd have trouble with a couple of intruders. Oliver is going to be mad at me later"
MY FICTIONAL DOG HE IS EIGHT YEARS OLD .. !

The foxhole court, chapter fourteen
" A group of people shouldered their way up to the bar counter at Neil's back, pushing him into Andrew. Andrew didn't budge beneath his weight. He was something solid to lean against, something violent and fierce and unmoving. Neil couldn't remember what it felt like to have someone hold him up. It was terrifying and liberating all at once. His life was out of his control now; he was giving it to Andrew and hoping Andrew would keep it safe. "
A classic. A must. Hope it doesn't disappoint the expectations. Planning on doing more little doodles like that until the animatic is finished.
take my humble offering of various low-quality halo character textpost memes

New villain oc to go along with my other ones!
My new portable synth rig! I can shut the lid, zip it up, and carry it wherever
I’m rockin’ a dual-USB power bank under a white “brand-less” Bluetooth speaker (one of those you get at corporate events with some random company’s name) powering the LED lights and the Retrokits RK-005 (now discontinued 🪦).
I’d like to get a similarly sized power bank, ~ 2.5” x 5” with such a slim and light profile, but have 3 USB type A ports instead of 2. I’d like to power my synth, the Roland Boutique JX-08, in case its 4 AA batteries ever die. The JX-08 is USB-C and RK is micro-USB. Hmmm. If not, I can just unplug the lights or use my AA battery-powered LED strip used for bicycles. Lights add a very fun component, especially lights triggered by sound!
If I’d go out in public, I’d swap that speaker with my JBL pill. As you can see, RED is my FAV color. ❤️ I also have a cable with a male aux to female 1/4” so I could plug in a guitar cable to connect to a louder amp.
The RK-005 syncs the master tempo of my Roland JX-08 boutique synth to the P0k3T0 splitter that sends to the Arcade and K.O! Pocket Operators.
More about the PO splitter:

Peep the LA-based hardware builder! Their projects are incredible. Must have accessories for a Pocket Operator IMHO.
I’m able to mix the audio of all three instruments passively via the Little Bear mixer (find on Amazon). It does just fine being a low-profile passive mixer! The fewer batteries, the better IMHO. Thanks to the P0k3T0, I can independently mix each Pocket Operator too.
Lastly, the cool coiled AUX cables are called Candycords from an amazing (seriously) company called myVolts. Must-see website for power, cables, and so much more. They also keep a great Instagram profile…
More to come! Here’s a jam if you’re wondering how it sounds :)
Practicing the last verse and outro of my song Lady & the Fountain. Best take outta like 100! I need to practice more…
First, I was able to get the keys alone, but it didn’t seem groovy to post en masse… (to my two followers ^_^)
I had some distractions along the way!

She was free. No chains weighed her down. The brand on her cheek meant nothing. All she had ever wanted was to be free. Then why were her wings still bound? But more importantly: why did her heart weigh heavy in her chest?
I may or may not be working on a multi chapter fanfic about Miriam’s healing journey with found family themes
And the first chapter may or may not be almost done
If Roland has a thousand haters, I am one of them. If Roland has a hundred haters, I am one of them. If Roland has ten haters, I am one of them. If Roland has one hater, I am that one. If Roland has zero haters, I’m dead.
