little doodle cause i read all of lost metal last night and none of my friends/family have finished it yet— i just wanted to paint something quick for this book because holy crap this book was completely insane and i loved every second
i just wanted to do a simple doodle so wax is a cat, might make another post with a bunch of cat design for era two but for now, wax
also i have no idea how to draw a ship so thankfully it’s like 90% explosion

I did a very quick, sketchy comic because I was extremely inspired by this post. (Credit to @pinkdiamondprince for the original post.)
The entire analogy was just fantastic and so, so accurate, and I wanted to make a comic for it, even if it’s very sketchy because my attention span is nil.
do u have a set of little brain tools u like to use to think about things? here are some of mine
grass sheep: based on the story of an ai who identified photos of sheep correctly, but then it turned out it was recognizing photos with grass in the background. i try to find the grass of a sheep when i'm thinking about the "proof" of something to identify possible other things that could produce that result other than the thing that is assumed to be being proven
hot swap: when thinking about something's place in the world, i like to try to imagine what would need to be different about the larger context for something else to take its place. what would need to be different? what would follow as a change? i often do this to two things that are presented as opposites.
sterility vs bioactivity: there's two solutions to reptile husbandry, one of having sterile and frequently cleaned items to manually remove waste and kill disease, and the other of creating a small ecosystem to reduce and process waste and prevent disease by having other things living there. i use this to think about what alternate routes of solutions could be other than manual control/reduction/elimination of problems
third axis: if i get stuck on a problem that seems to have only two answers, i try to move "vertically" away from it. if something must be either true or false, what would it mean for it to not matter either way? if something must be either supported or fought against, what would it mean to make it irrelevant entirely?
life lessons kids
Being good to each other is so important, guys.
I can only read “dogs” and only see anything in one other. I see nothing in any other.
