Fourth: Zipped hoodie over a t-shirt; The hoodie has a turtle-neck like height near the neck.

Four sketches of a person with cat ears, demonstrating their outfit from the fifth through eighth days of January. Fifth: V-neck sweater over a button up. Sixth: Hoodie with large strings and a pleated skirt over baggy pants with a purse slung across the torso. Seventh: V-neck sweater over a button up, with keycard looped around the neckline and a lanyard sticking out of a pant pocket.

I sketched my outfit every day for the first week+1 of January. Lots of work clothes with the occasional fun outfit. Alt-text contains detailed descriptions.

Currently reading through a 2002 Flash & Fireworks handbook, which has given me some web/image optimization ideas. Photos exported from Macromedia Fireworks MX 2004 with the "JPEG - Smaller File" setting.

Hello, 2025! I made bread.

Other than that, I'm only slightly revamping the layout of the site to better accomodate adding non-tumblelog pages. I want to embrace the freedom of the website format and get a little silly with it.

A sketch of a Cardinal (bird). It has long feathers forming a sort of tuft at the top of its head. Its grey wings contrast with the red body, and it has dark feathers around its eyes and beak. It is sitting on a hook in a berry garden.

A sketch of a cardinal. I streamed this piece, so it'll be neat to watch it back and maybe learn from my mistakes.

A digital sketch of Cohost's mascot, Eggbug, with a slightly rough brush.

Drawn in Macromedia Flash MX, mid-processed with a brush engine I've been working on, then re-imported back into Flash MX for coloring. Exported to SVG!

I imported two more bird sketches from my tumblr to fill out the content here, backdated to their original posting date. I added the missing alt text descriptions for my images as well.

The pen for my normal drawing tablet is not working at the moment, so I'm going to continue experimenting with using an iPad as a cintiq alternative. The screen resolution over SideCar is so small!

In other news, I've figured out how to combine my retro computing hobby with my art hobby: Macromedia Flash MX, from 2002, running on Windows 2000. I don't usually do lineart, but this is a way to get me practicing with it.

A while ago I had written about how my brain has started to associate certain flavors of tea with certain feelings, emotions, or situations. Before I started teaching, Vanilla Chai was my favorite flavor. I just liked the way it tasted. Teaching was something I found quite stressful, so I started drinking Vanilla Chai before a lecture to hopefully lower my nerves. I'm not sure if it was the caffiene exacerbating the stress or simple the strong flavor of it, but my brain now associates Vanilla Chai with the sick-to-my-stomach stress I felt before teaching. Drinking it on a day off? Immediately sick and unable to stomach finishing the cup.

Today, I took a sip of Green Tea and immediately thought of my sketchbook. Thinking about it, I realized that the last few times I had Green Tea was while sitting down doing some sketches during down time.

This might be fairly normal for people to experience, but it's only recently that I've started having this association of flavor with emotions/memories. I wonder if the appearance of it at this point in my life is as a result of years of therapy to reduce the severity of my dissociation.

A rough sketch of a Common Raven. It is looking to the side, showcasing its narrow head compared to the comparatively thick and long beak. One wing is raised slightly as if it has just landed or is about to take off.

Testing out pixquare.

Reviving This Ancient Neosite

Hey, it's been five years. I have a Master's degree now. (And I still haven't voice trained...) Since cohost is gone, I need a place to dump my silly little art pieces. So here we are! Let's have fun!

I'm going to backport a few posts from cohost so that I have stuff here.

Yay another bird sketch!

A sketch of a Black Billed Magpie. It is looking off to the side, standing on a wooden post. It has blue and grey accent colors on its wings, and a fluffy chest.

A sketch of an Altamira Oriole. It is clinging to some short branches near the top of a tree. Its body is a nice orange while its wings are dark with white stripes.

I've been doing ~~daily~~ every other day bird sketches and dumping them on tumblr. I figured I might as well start putting them up here as well. Here's day five, the Altamira Oriole.

A sketch of an Acorn Woodpecker. It appears to be in flight, wings spread wide open as it looks offscreen. It is a darker color, with lighter splotches on its wings. It looks like it has a hat because the top of its head is red.

Today's bird is the Acorn Woodpecker.

A sketch of an Acadian Flycatcher. It is standing on a branch, head turned such that it is looking towards its tail. It looks like a small bird, with striped wings and a fluffy brighter colored chest.

Today I sketched an Acadian Flycatcher.

New Layout & Promise to Start

It's been almost two months since my original post. During that time I fell into a pretty bad depressive spell, especially given that my family isn't supportive and actively tries to stop me from being myself. I've finally found the drive to start again.

The site is no longer a Javascript mess. I threw out the old design and made my own (horribly coded) static site generator. I could have used an existing one, but chaining batch scripts together in an attempt to generate html was much more fulfilling.

You can expect a post that actually covers voice training sometime in the next week or two (hopefully).

Introduction

Hello, and welcome to my Neosite. I intend to use this as a blog of sorts to document my progress in training my voice, as well as other transition related things.
