I really like the "Sky Layer" in this one, the clouds / overcast look over the distant mountains is great, but i think the nearby forest / cliff face aren't. the size of the trees makes things seem way too small, too

But this was my first try at this kind of environment!!

Have I ever shared this on here??

I drew this ages ago and its still one of the most detailed things I've ever done!
I wound up going with the red warm lighting version but I think nowadays I'm more partial to the more desaturated yellow/blue

I weirdly just started out doing backgrounds. Drawing trees and mountains as a kid!

Everyone else was always drawing characters and people, but i had to pick up that skill much later and still don't think i'm very good!!

Old art when I still used Adobe animate / After effects to make artistic images haha

Looks like it hurts to breath here...

I managed to crack through to a nearby church to help with my food, but it won't much matter if I don't stave off this impending eviction. I don't have a car, I have nobody to go to, no family, it's a long story how I'm even so isolated.
I'm terrified of disappearing

I've taken on freelance work over the months, I know I do good work, but everything has turned into guilt. Guilt and dread and doubt. A year ago this stuff was no problem, now It's overwhelming, and crushing, and I can't afford the luxury of a therapist.

I don't know what to do

wooo

bought a new PSU and that wound up being the computer issue.
(it could have been (and very much looked like) the mobo, or the CPU,)
So i have a computer again!

I intend on big updates for tomorrow in the wake of this scare

Computer issues seem to be any number of things,

It's possible the CPU got heat damaged the last time I was having issues about a month ago,

It could also be the power supply but at this point it could be anything... This machine is over 10 years old

Met a homeless guy on the bus today who makes his money teaching people chess downtown,

"Chess is important! Teaches people to think ahead!"

Something so genuine about this. I love how much random people can care about each other.

I dunno how to talk about things without making everyone who reads this feel terrible. Normally I'd just shut up and withdraw. The world is getting bad enough without me being more drama but I don't want to disappear either. I'm terrified, i need help
