Description Me? Posting on DA first for once instead of tumblr? Wow. (It just was NOT letting me put the pics all in one post, so here we are. 3 separate submissions, coming in. Woo) 

Ok, so I got a new full time job! It's an...insurance third party company thing? A lady from church hired me. So far it's incredibly taxing, mostly mentally. My brain is fried at the end of every day, trying to keep up with all the procedures and legal-ese X''D So it's chewing up alot of my time...therefore I'm being more choosy on what I spend my time digitally coloring. Traditionalllll!!! Finally broke out my colored markers and my precious markers! I like the combo look, and I got very different results on each page! It was cool! 

But yeah, here's Riku (long haaaairrrrr) requested by raberbagirl   in one of my faaaavorite outfits on an outfit meme I did! I love caaaardigans X'''D 

And there was still room on the page, so I added some other white haired beauties. I've been playing through Nier: Automata (ANOTHER thing eating up my time X''D it's so fun...I'm basically ignoring irrelevant side quests and my desire to 100% games, and just plowing through the story. I finished my first play through last night and was very shocked how short that was? Tragic, bittersweet ending too...then it tells me to reboot the game. Sure, ok, play again, woooooo. Start up and I get to play as 9S this time??? The WHOLE play through??!! YAAAAAAAAY I LOVE MY NERDY BOY *flails* It'll make things pretty different, I'm excited. This game has an interesting way of telling stories, wow. I'm really loving it. Sorry for the rant. May or may not do some kh crossover doodles soon too. I mean. It's right there. "Oh haha Androids aren't allowed to have emotions" *2B snarls at anyone who hurts 9S* they literally have objects representing their hearts???? ANd the machines looks like heartless, and are assumed to be heartless but are shown to grow hearts/emotions of their own over time...like. WOW> Not to mention 358/2 days Riku's outfit looks like a YorHa soldier. It's right there.)

ANYWAY, took a shot at how I would draw the babies. I like it. Then some marker for shading...and here we are. 

Sorry that's alot, I need to go to bed. 2 more pages real quick though.
Enjoy!

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.
