I am so fed up with insomnia; I haven't been able to sleep through a whole night since I started my current job. X'''D Tried rebuking/binding in case it was the enemy and also praying in case it was God, so now I'm getting on the computer to wait it out in case it's simply just my brain being dumb, and was very pleasantly surprised to see these new uploads!
I have no idea who the blindfold kids are, but they look pretty cool! And, you're right, also like they'd look right at home in the KHverse. XD I like how you drew the raggedy collar-thing(?) on the left one.
Rikuuu~! That outfit pretty much screamed "RIKU" to me, and I'm so glad that you gave him long Sephiroth hair, he looks gorgeous!! I like his pretty aqua eyes and that he looks a little happy and playful now, in his cool, dignified way. ^^ The shading with the purple marker is neat, I like how it indicates the clothing folds. The clothing colors are subtle, too; they match the source but don't look garish, so it doesn't seem weird at all to see Riku wearing a pink shirt and bright green pants. Really nice job on this! ^^
I definitely know what you mean about work being mentally taxing. (My current job isn't, but teaching was, and shelving often was on days with a lot of stressors.) And I definitely know what you mean about the rest of it.... As a substitute teacher, I technically didn't work full-time, especially when they made a rule that we weren't allowed to work more than 7.5, maybe 7.75 hours a day. Still, that was REALLY CLOSE to 8 hours a day, so it was a full-time job in practice, and I often was too mentally exhausted when I came home to do creative work. I feel ya, buddy. :/
I'd say to try different things until you find the right balance - guard your precious weekends, and see if there's any way you can draw at work (when I used to substitute teach, I'd bring a folded piece of paper in my pocket which I'd take out and draft fics on whenever I had down time, which was surprisingly often. At the library, I never had any time to write while on the clock, but I was able to during my breaks). It's not much, but it's definitely better than nothing!
Also, after you've spent a certain amount of time on the job, you'll get used to it and it'll be easier. Starting out is always hardest, since you're trying to figure things out and haven't settled into an ideal routine yet.
Lol, priorities. XD The whole 100% thing in modern video games is kind of...deliberately time-eating....
It's always cool when a game is designed to let you play it again with an altered experience! I think it was Final Fantasy X-2 that let you start over while retaining all your abilities and experience and stuff from the previous file, and didn't KH CoM let you bonus-play as Riku once you'd finished Sora's story? And you said Undertale also does something like that, right? It's neat when they do that! The video game equivalent of parallel novels, which I LOVE.
