My night took a little emotional turn… don’t really know where it came from but, I was finding it hard to draw, and whenever that happens I find that little self-portraits can help break through the quagmire.
I finally got a little sketch out of me and my butterfly brooch. It made me feel a bit better to actually get something drawn, even if I was feeling down when I drew it.
Now it really is time for me to turn in for the night, but I want to thank you all for all the happiness you bring me <3 You’re all so caring and kind that I really never stay in a sad mood for long. To those of you who send me hugs or well wishes, just know that they never go to waste, or fall on an ungrateful heart. They make my day and they really made me feel better tonight <3 You’re all the best, and I love you all,
Night for now,

i thought my laptop was on its last leg because it was running at six billion degrees and using 100% disk space at all times and then i turned off shadows and some other windows effects and it was immediately cured. i just did the same to my roommate's computer and its performance issues were also immediately cured. okay. i guess.
so i guess if you have creaky freezy windows 10/11 try searching "advanced system settings", go to performance settings, and uncheck "show shadows under windows" and anything else you don't want. hope that helps someone else.
I hope you don’t mind my including Not-So-Grump along with Grump himself ^__^
Thanks so much for your request @supermarblesoda

The world’s most viewed TED Talk. In GIFs!
I got lucky and managed to do a two for one ^_^
( I did check to make sure at least one Hex Maniac has used a Sableye in the games though, and they had. A few times actually ^_^ )
Thanks so much for your requests @lazerblues and @monsieurawesome726

Stop Trying to Make Fetch Happen
Because tumblr likes to smoosh things down to fit in a tiny vertical space, I included a slightly more focused cutout ^_^ but you can click the main picture on top for a larger file ^_^
The ghoul school girls are too much fun to draw…they are distracting me from my pony responsibilities xD
I hope you all have a super lovely evening! I’m gonna try and get a few more doodles done tonight, but my computer is giving me issues, so I may need to spend some time cleaning it up ^_^
All my love,

I am trying to practice a more painterly approach than my usual cartoony inking look. I’m still getting the hang of it, but I wanted to share my first little practice piece ^^
Hope you are all having a lovely weekend <3 All my love,

Phantasma…you know its not polite to borrow someone else’s clothes without asking. Especially antique outfits. ^^;
Hope you’re all having a lovely night! I’m still enjoying the Ghoul School Girls. ^_^ I haven’t been able to settle on a look for Sibella and Elsa yet though, so for now I’m sticking with my three Ghouls.
Love you all,

EVERYBODY knows (or should) that you DO. NOT. STOP. in Vidor, Texas.
It’s best to just run out of gas elsewhere. Whatever you do, black folks, DO NOT STOP IN VIDOR, TEXAS.
There’s a good chance you’ll get lynched or just come up missing - and I’m not joking.
also do NOT stop in Harrison, Arkansas!!!! (relatively close to OK and MI) a nazi town with a BIG KKK organization.
Reblog To Save Life
I’ve been asked about my thoughts on Adobe Animate (Adobe’s replacement for Flash)
And although I don’t consider myself anything of an expert on software, I did finally update my version today, and spent a little time learning some of the changes, and I thought I would share what I thought in case anyone out there is nervous about the unknown ^_^
Firstly, its essentially the same as Flash. The same dependable machine I’ve always trusted. Its just like it used to be, with a couple of tiny tweaks.
1. Onion Skin is now Blue and Green instead of a fade of the colors you’re using. So it makes it easier to differentiate the frames ^_^ a lot like Toon Boom which uses green and pink.
2. (and this is like the best thing ever) There is an ability with the brush tool that is called ‘zoom size with stage’. If you keep that checked, you are able to zoom in close without your brush turning into a super fine line, or becoming very blobby when you zoom out ^_^
That got rid of a massive headache of mine that always made it difficult to faithfully track fine detail <3 (or having to keep track of the zoom percentage to avoid a varying line)
And thats … kind of it ^^; at least that I found so far. But I was able to doodle a little Don Bluthy Mrs, Brisby, and it behaves just like it always did, except I was able to get in close and track some tufts ^^
Nothing to be worried about with the update if you’re cautious about installing the update…its really all in a name, and it still smells as sweet ^_^
and speaking of I want to wish you all a wonderful Valentine’s Day
I love you all, very very much.
All my love,
~FtK
