Well this is serendipitous. I just finished insectember and was planning to work on my bunny sona in October. Just more motivation!

I think... I think 16 entries to Insectember is all I can manage this year T^T
(Maybe I'll move it to October next year, September hates me)
a traditional sketch with teal marker on white paper of quilbugs insect persona crushed by boxes marked with various life events that happened in September 2026; Uni work, work, new pet, chronic fatigue, moving, water crisis. Beneath the drawing, "September" is written in messy bubble font, annotated with "the month of change (and chaos)."

#insectember day 19! Acrylic and paper on wood. Went to the harvest moon festival and the new craft Cafe had this as one of their projects and it was a lot of fun. But running around left very little time for drawing.

I hate how I go through bursts of drawing and then down time. I want to get better but struggle to find tutorials that work, and don't practice enough outside of burst. I was so hyped for #insectember because a whole month of drawing my favorite things and... Burn out hits.
