      Book 5? What Book 5?

      I have deleted Demonic Cafe Book Five, Always A Golem, Never a Bride from Amazon. I initially said I wasn’t going to do this and just learn to live with it the way it is, but I realized I couldn’t do that. The book got a 1-star rating on Amazon, which is not in and…

      Messy Bunny Girl

      I felt bad that my previous Bunny Girl drawing was so stiff, so I decided to do some drawings that were more energetic, even if they weren’t in great proportion and whatnot. This was my favorite of the ones I drew. I think this is a good exercise and I should probably do a lot…

      Aeka Bunny Girl

      I did an assignment for my Storyboarding class that involved Aeka dressed up in a Bunny Girl costume, and I liked the idea so much I wanted to draw it some more. There are a lot of problems here, things that I can see even through my pesky “proportion blindness,” but the point of the…

      More Sketches

      Continuing with my “Drawing for the sake of drawing” project, here are a few more sketches, all of Aeka. She looks very masculine in #2, not sure quite how that happened, but there are things I like here. Drawing characters super-deformed (SD) is always fun for me.

      I drew something kind of cool

      I haven’t been spending much time drawing because I’m bummed out that I lost the muscle memory for it that I used to have years ago, when I drew every day. It finally hit me the other day that “Having not drawn makes me sad, so I will continue to not draw,” was not a…

      Review: A Wizard of EarthSea

      I realize the incredible chutzpah of deciding to “review” a seminal work that is foundational to its genre, many, many decades after it first made a name for itself. However, Review sounds better than “Karen prattles on about Earthsea for a few paragraphs,” so that’s what I’m going with. I’ve had a problem with the…

      Writing Class Week One Preamble: I will write an ABCDerian piece in the first person that seems to focus on food, but the focus will really be on the narrator’s struggles with depression and OCD. A is for Arugula What is arugula, anyway? It’s a salad green, but is it one of the bland ones…

      Review: Game of Crones

      Way back when I reviewed Any Witch Way You Can, I mused that I don’t really understand the rules for “cozy” mysteries. Years later I am still confused, because this book has an army of zombies walking around, which is about the most un-cozy thing I can think of, but apparently it’s still a cozy…

      Review: Trouble With the Cursed (The Hollows #16)

      WARNING: This review has spoilers. I’ve had a love-hate relationship with this series for over a decade now. I think the extreme reaction happens because I like the world Harrison has created so much, little inconsistencies or things that don’t make sense REALLY bother me, whereas I don’t care so much in most other series.…

      Maylee

      Maylee is a character in a fantasy project I’ve had in the back of my mind for a while. She is a Medusa, but she’s actually a very nice Medusa; don’t believe the reputation. Just felt like this was a nicely random drawing to post on a nicely random Thursday.
