Ok, so, I start with a planning document, writing down whatever vague idea I have in my head.

And then, I add to it.

And then (once I have enough of an idea), I create several more documents over whatever amount of time it takes for me to get a semi-clear outline done.

And then, I continue to modify my outline while writing my main story.

…and that’s as far as I’ve gotten.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

hello writers.

Reblogging because I’ve gotten comments like this on my blog before. I’ve gone through and blocked all comments like this already.

It’s good to stay aware of these types of things.

Hey guys let me tell you about advance fee scams

I hope y'all are familiar with these in this day and age, especially my artists out there, because they're incredibly common.

About half an hour ago I posted a drawing and tagged it #artists on tumblr, and very quickly received this comment.

My scam radar went off immediately, due to the generic blog name and lack of any emotion in the comment, but I decided it might be an entertaining venture so I dmed them. They asked for a drawing "of these", and sent me a random selfie. I got the details and told them it would be $15, and they promptly offered me $300. At this point I know it's a scam, but I play along for funsies and give them my paypal. Shortly, they send me this image for "confirmation" (I blocked out my email)

And they began to insist that I checked my email. I looked in my spam folder and found the following email.

This is fake. This is not a thing. And the "you're to refund the $200.00 back" is the scam. They send vaguely official-looking emails at you to "prove" that they sent you the money, then have you send them $200 (or however much the scam is for). Then, surprise surprise, you're out $200.

I continued to play along for a bit, and in the second email "Paypal" told me that I had to refund the $200 before they could "credit the $300 to my account", along with these lovely threats.

And yeah, it's silly. But it's not silly if you don't know and get scammed. So. Spread, please! And thank you very much to @mlaurel for the opportunity to get these screenshots.

exploring different concepts for Onyx’s backstory

Decided to draw her in the most recent idea I had.

tried to draw my Sonic OC again to get better with the anatomy

I think it went better this time. Still trying to figure out how to properly draw the hands, feet, and quills, but at least I drew them this time

(ignore the faded mushroom in the background; I drew that first and tried to erase it so I’d have space to draw my OC)

(and I was drawing in a dark room, so some of the stuff might look janky)

other random doodles

First time drawing Sonic characters!! 🥳

I drew Fleetway first, lol. I was so glad it didn’t turn into a complete disaster.

I drew my OC, Onyx, next (she’s Shadow’s sister)! I’ve been wanting to post about her for a while, and I’m glad I finally got around to drawing her!! 💜

Colored Onyx in on IbisPaintX.

I’m so glad I finally got around to drawing Sonic characters! Can’t wait to do more (if I even remember, lol)!

She looks like she’s judging people. Honestly? I don’t blame her.
