Edit: I just realized I said almost nothing about the drawings.
I dunno, I just felt like drawing birds. And instead of arguing with myself for an hour over whether I should do that or just do "real" work, I just sat in bed all lazy-like and drew the birds.
Felt nice.

Yesterday was kind of hard. I hadn't really processed losing Sweet Pea properly (her cage is still on my shelf) so I spent part of the day making a video to remember her.
I would have put it up here but you can't just straight up put videos on your profile as an 18+ artist. So I stuck it on Youtube. (And IG, I guess, but I don't really use the place much except to birdpost.) https://youtube.com/shorts/D34RdvPrM_8
I had a whole New Year's diatribe written out but it's mostly a bunch of rambling and half-baked plans, and I'm kind of tired of shooting from the hip so I canned it. I'll post something later with a rundown of what I'm up to once I have things a little more thought out.
It's going to be a hell year no matter how you slice it. But hopefully it's less of a hell year than 2024. I'm very tired and I need to just make some time to draw more little guys like these and not worry about the whole thing caving in on my head.
