Hit a snag on the yearly Velma. Basically was trying (again) the whole painting with values first thing, but that's a process that just ain't for me. I know the idea behind doing things in value first (that is to say black and white) is to make it easier to process information since you're processing only the values instead of values and hues, but with me the opposite happens and it tires my eyes so much more (not to mention the added mental energy being expended on a process that I'm not familiar with). There's also the matter that doing things in values first doesn't take into account how hues (colors) actually influence the perception of values when interacting with each other.

TLDR for non-artists: Started painting in black and white, wasn't working, decided to do colors first as I usually do,

Other than that, taking a wee break from FF 14. Started Stormblood and left my character parked in Gyr Abania after contacting the resistance. This is simply because been in a DnD mood lately and been scratching my itch with Baldur's Gate 3.

I just love creating characters in it and exploring builds lol, don't even have any past lvl 3
