Late Night Entry But I Drew My Comfort Ship After A Hard Day Today

So I started experimenting with some jester ideas. Something that interests me and that I think is a really good way of making something new and interesting, yet still fitting is taking other jester designs and exaggerating them.

Like lengthening the shoe height. Instead of the bells being attached at the end of shoes that end mid-calf, instead they almost become a dress-style bell set.

And this inspired me to make a dress with bells at the end of it, but with more of a twist:

I thought inverted bells would be interesting, and it also interests me HOW a piece like this might be made.

Obviously these would be paired with other jester clothing pieces, but I just think it's very cool!

I decided to draw how I kind of imagine Arthur to look like

And I made a little rendition of my partner explaining the entire plot of Malevolent to me (my auditory processing issues make it hard for me to listen to podcasts)

I drew some cats with 2 mouths

tma inspired drawings

I made matching Malevolent computer backgrounds for me and my partner

My partner suggested I give Arthur a french mustache so it turned into this

I was inspired by @/Kourush on Twitter's swordtember post from 2022, the candle sword thing.

I decided to make a fursona!!!! His name is Rowdy

he/him pronouns, but xe/xem works too since those are mine and he's my fursona.

Rowdy at a party....bad drink

bringing this tiktok trend to the tma fandom

the quality is ruined but i tried drawing it lmao

This is pretty basic but zukos body temp runs really warm and sokka likes to cuddle because of it. Or because of how warm he is animals love to cuddle with him and sokka will just find him in the palace gardens covered in turtleducks

!!!

Okay I have a legitimate request for advice/help???

So yesterday I had an idea for an animation for song that's like 2 minutes 20 seconds long

Anyone who animates knows that's a relatively long animation for an amateur artist

Anyway

Yesterday I like REALLY hyperfixated on this animation

This happens to me sometimes when I'm drawing

I have an idea and I HAVE to draw it, I can't draw anything else or take breaks other than quick stops for the bathroom or to eat something

And it's usually easily manageable because the drawings only take a few hours or something

But like

Okay this was pretty intense. I spent all of yesterday pretty much animating the whole thing

A lot of it is still very sketch-like

And I want to color it

And I'm struggling. The problem is that I really want to finish this animation enough to show people/enough that I'm satisfied. I just want to be done!

But like, I'm EXHAUSTED. I didn't get much sleep for hyperfixating on this, I am actually already sick, and I'm also having really bad period cramps.

It feels like the easy answer should be just take a break, right?

WRONG.

I CANNOT sleep, I CANNOT sit still, I CANNOT function I need to work on this. Trust me, if I could sleep or work on another project I WOULD. But like I can't even focus, all I do is think about how much work I need to do and what things to fix and -oh I need to draw another frame for this one scene,,,

I would really appreciate ANY advice, ANY recommendations, PLEASE send help I'm dying here
