Sakura Pigma pens on an 8.5 by 11. Started doing a fade correction with the last one, and I understand that it’s probably necessary (the black turns out a lot better and truer to form), but it feels odd to do, like it’s less authentic somehow.

Knee is doing alright. Next week it will have been 6 weeks, and I’m really hoping to be able to take over my cooking responsibility again (my brother has been doing great! I just also know how much of a load it can be.), and get out of the house more (went to my sisters for labor day. My knee had complaints on the way there which I could adjust and deal with, but I was designated as the person to drive home for some reason and it was rather unhappy after that.).

Saw a thing about ACEOs recently, which of course made me curious, and now I’m contemplating if doing those would be a good idea… needs more thought.

Been doing some game streams when I can (like yesterday and tonight). Haven’t played around with short videos yet, and I may need to do some that I don’t share at all before I do, but it is in the plans.

Hope you all have a wonderful week, and safe travels!

Sakura pigma microns (plus a graphic for space fill and the… outside? outline? I don’t know what to call it) on a 8.5 by 11. I wasn’t particularly happy with this one while making it, lines didn’t go how I wanted them to, and the paper got bent a couple times. But now that I’ve had time to step back from it, I’m pretty happy with the overall look of it, if I don’t look at it too long.

I’ve gotten two new followers on Instagram! I’m trying to curb my excitement and expectations, because I don’t want to accidentally crash my self by trying to do much or expecting things to go a certain way, but it is difficult. I am trying to recognize it as an improvement and a step towards where I want to be, because I’m apparently doing well enough at putting myself out there for someone to take notice, which is kinda big for me. I also got a “send me this post” comment, which is apparently a bot or scam, so I will probably not be interacting with it anytime soon.

My knee is doing better. I stood on it a little long the other day, and the weather is cooling, so it’s a little stiff right now and some regular movements are uncomfortable, but it’s not too bad. Two more weeks and I think I’ll be good to go back to normal! I’ve been adding some things of my usual routine back, but I still haven’t braved the stairs to do laundry yet (family has been helping me get it done) or done many out of house activities (I try to, but just getting ready tends to push it), because just the normal wandering around the house still puts a strain on it most days. Healing requires rest and patience, which is hard to give myself, but things will be worse in the long run if I don’t, so I’m trying me best.

Hope you all have wonderful week, and safe travels!
