made this t rex today, and added some mountains

Zachary's day
I had a not so fun day today, well it was kinda fun, but the first part wasn't. I woke up late at 8:10 am because I had just come back from a party at 3:00 am. After I woke up I brushed my teeth showered, you know the whole drill. That's when I realized I was late for school. I quickly put some clothes on, green pants, white shirt(it was actually a shirt that had some of maples art printed on it that I bought a while back), and a black beanie. After that I rushed to school and somehow made it before the bell rang. I walked in and saw some of my friends by the entrance, they dabbed me up and were all like,
"yoo you ready for today"
"at least we get to go home early"
"im lowkey just gunna skip through this shit"
I had totally forgotten that the school was doing a pre-act today. I had no clue what to do either, I asked how do I know which room I need to go to, they pointed me in the direction of the wall next to student services. There there were dozens of papers all with names printed all over them and the room they were assigned, after searching through them I finally saw one that said,
Zachary Van Buren: D144
As I made my way to the room I didn't see any of my friends in the hall so it was a boring walk, matter of fact I barely saw anyone in the hall. After I finally found my room I was greeted by my biology teacher, who was posted outside doing something related to the pre-act. I then walked into the room, I saw a couple of my friends, but everyone was quite, so I became quite too. The teacher in there(I forgot his name) directed me to a seat. After everyone who was supposed to be there arrived and got situated he explained the rules of this pre-act. I can't tell you a think he said because I was still only half awake. Once he was done talking we started doing the tests, I won't bore you with the details of them, just know I got all the answers correct probably. I expected I'd be able to leave once I was done with the tests, but no we had to wait until everyone was done. I said to myself, ok thats not too bad, it was bad, really fucking bad. Some girl named faith or daphne or something took 40 minutes longer than everyone else. By the time we got out almost everyone was gone. To top it all off my ride had left too, so I stayed and chatted with my buddies. 30 minutes later I decided I'd just walk home. Just before I walked out the school parking lot I saw one of my friends also walking. I caught up to him and he asked where I was going, home I responded. He was like
"all the way to Greenvile?"
"Thats the plan, I'll get someone to pick me up midway if need be" I told him
He then said to me
"Why don't you go visit the middle school with me, I was gunna go stop in and say hi to some of our old teachers"
I was like "bet"
And so we went. While there I saw a couple of my old teachers, they were so excited to see me of course. I also ran into some 8th graders and 7th graders who remembered me(because I was so awesome and cool). The thing that surprised me the most though was that the 6th and 5th graders I once knew, who were now 8th and 7th graders, all vaped and smoked weed! Of course I did and do too. Except vaping I don't mess with that stuff, its really not good. I'm actually thinking of quitting weed. Anyways I was surprised and kinda excited, but also disappointed, I hoped it wasn't my fault or influence that caused them to pick up these bad habits. They asked me
"do you wanna go hit up the bathroom"
Which translates to - Let's go smoke some dope
I said "hell yeah" unfortunately.
After my encounter with the middle school was done I walked home. Happy ever after

@eryp how does one think without an inner monologue? That has always intrigued me. How do shrooms work on you? do they even, i feel like all i do is think when im on shrooms. Are you an anti shroom man?

Id do something creative but im really sad because my bath is cold because i didnt turn it to the correct heat and when it filled it was kinda hot but then i went to go make food and i cooked some elote, and made tacos. When i came back though the bath was cold. Its ok, I told myself. It wasnt. After I drained the tub I turned the water back on as hot as it could go, but what came out was not hot. In fact it was lukewarm at best. So now I am distressed. I am sitting in a cold tub writing this shivering and crying. Why am I crying you might ask because my bath is cold. While no tears have fallen, I still feel like I am crying. Perhaps the bath is too cold to cry. Like the coldness has frozen all the water in my body so that none may escape. Yall may think I'm spoiled with my hot bathes. To that I say, I am spoiled. But I deserve to be spoiled with hot bathes. I love hot bathes. I work so hard too just for my hot baths, I have all A's and A+'s. I keep my girlfriend happy most of the time, which is harder than you would think. I'm on a bulk and have gained 16 pounds in the last 3 months. I also have a Successful side hustle, I can afford all the hot bathes I could ever want. In fact I bought a hot tub last year. What else do I need to do to be able to relax at the end of my day off of school in order to get a hot bath. I try to be such a good person, I use please and thank you even when searching on google and talking to chatgpt. After the blizzard I even went around clearing peoples driveways. And all I want in return is a bath. Im a very religious and right now Im very tempted to use the lords name in vain! I wanna say all i want is a goshdarn hot bath, but phrased different if you know what I mean. I just want a hot bath. I want to scold and boil like a lobster being prepared in gordan ramseys asshole.

Edit: I got my hot bath, so I made my creative thing for the day.

Down! Down upon this earth they gaze
But if they could look into our hearts would they still be so amazed?
Our hearts, our minds, they've all been crazed
I mean, I saw a man die and I wasn't even fazed
I thought to myself, are we even still human these days

I’m trapped in a world where nobody cares
If I knew this was coming could I even have prepared
What could I have done? What can I still do
I've pulled all the jokers, but I still feel a fool

We've strayed so far, I can't tell the right path
Even if I wanted to, I can't go back
But what happens when we reach the crossroads
Will we stop and count toads?
Because what else would we do
With our vision so askew

was a busy day today. Thats a lie i worked on a snow fort cause i just got hit by a blizzard. my hb coming over tomorrow to help me finish it lol. ill send that once its done tomorrow. for now i made this little shit

@octo fkn love this

i was thinking on switching mine too cus idealistically i wanted something bigger with a longer ride, but ive already spent too much time on this and idk if id be able to produce something else to my standards in the 14 days we got left.

drew some character art for the mc who hasnt been introduced yet

Very bare bones start. I was thinking about writing a book or maybe a comic. i just made the general idea for the prelude
God came down to the earth once in the early days of the world. There he encountered people who did not truly believe god existed despite the countless miracles. While wandering God saw a man meandering by, God then approached the man, who was wandering down a beat up path, God said to the man "when will you, and the rest of my children see?" the man, complexed, takes a closer look at the man talking to him, all of a sudden he drops to his knees. For he has just realized who stood before. He wept with joy and fear at the feet of God, the man said,
"I had not known it was you o lord, forgive me"
"fear not child, I hold no illness over your head" said God. God then repeats his question
"what must i do to make the people see? that i am true, the one who resides over the heavens and all beneath it?"
The man is too shocked to respond. Then God proposes this,
"I'll make a dominion, a place where all can come and revel in my glory. Child, make me a building grander than anything on the earth, have it be able to accompany at least 20,000 people. It will serve as a link between me and my children, a covenant that I am always listening."
The man agrees, but he asks
"lord how shall i get this done? i am but one man"
God then replies
"I will send you a worker, a best friend, a brother, a father, I will send an angel. A being of my creation meant to aid you and your endeavor"
God then departs the earth to heaven before the man could respond. While in heaven god collects some golden powder and blows it into the wind. The wind then carried it down to the earth. Once upon the earth the gold took shape. It turned into a man, 7 ft tall 2 sets of arms and 3 sets of teeth. Once formed the angel declared himself Elkabbalah. Once formed and settled in, the angel, Elkabbalah, quickly got accustomed to the earth's culture. Elkabbalah also grew quite close to the man god first met, who is named Hatmadah. Together Elkabbalah and Hatmadah built the grand chamber for God. Because so many saw the endeavor to create this(And the crazy looking angel) their faith in god was restored. They then started gathering in this building whenever they needed to commune with God. Eventually this would lead to the regular worship of God in this building, so therefore it was decided it be called the Grosskirche. The influence of God spread all across the world and people came from all over just to be able to enter the Grosskirsche. A hundred or so years passed by like this, very uneventful and calm, slowly the whole world started to believe in God, and Judaism became the dominant world religion. Then suddenly the archangel Gabriel burst through the cathedrals doors, surrounded by flames he bellows to the popes, Hatmadah and Elkabbalah,
“Michael the archangel has died. He died in a fierce battle between him and the demon Abaddon. God has so declared that “As Michael was the main protector of the earth and its inhabitants, the earth has been left defenseless. So I, God of the heavens, entrust the safety of the earth to you, the church.” Do not be afraid, for the lord has not abandoned humankind. He has entrusted his power to the people of the Grosskirche, so that whoever believes, truly believes in him can channel his power through their soul in order to combat the countless demons encroaching the world.”
This news spread quickly across the earth. Hatmadah and Elkabbalah were left in shock, but not dismay. For they knew that their plight was not lost.

lazy entry for today, just some things i drew for fluffys contest

so i was gunna wait to do another thing, but i really enjoyed writing that first poem. it felt easy for me to get my words and thoughts out. at least in a way that didnt make me feel vulnerable. and as its now the next day for me, even if its only by an hour and a half, i took the time to write another.
Can't wait in line
Can't wait in line
I feel as if I'm in a world without time
My patience has forever been waning
Thoughts wriggle out my brain like worms after its been raining
I'm stuck in line
I'm stuck in line
I say I'm okay, if you ask I'm fine
But if you really look inside I'm crying
I'll say I'm fine I'll keep lying
Too much burdens to carry alone
But I don't know who to call or how to atone
Thoughts whirling in my brain like a hurricane or cyclone
Cant wait in line
Cant wait in line
Everybody took what's mine
At least that's how I've been feeling
Smoking weed, that's how I've been healing
But my wounds don't close so easily

saw some poems here, i thought they were pretty dope, but they didnt line up with what i generally consider a poem. im no poet but i tryed to write a poem how ive always seen them to be.
Up all last night thinking
About what i saw as i was blinking
if light is color then what is without
Others say nothing but i cant help but doubt
Last night i saw colors of lush forests and soaring visions
a future full of love and heart wrenching decisions
What it means i still ponder
but i now know that even in darkness there is wonder
and if i could reach out and speak to the darkness
It would ask me this
what is life without death
or an ocean without its depth
a jump when theres no gravity
thinking when your deep in depravity
but now as i close my eyes i see colors of bright
possibilities with no end in sight

dont have enough prestige to post videos unfortunately so heres i drew in class today. in case you cant tell its two of my friends as an ostrich/egg

Yoooo @Volund i loved the inheritance cycle. ive yet to read the mortugah book tho. i tried finding it once like 5 years ago but never was able, like two weeks ago i saw it in a book store tho, and lastnight i had a dream about buying it from the school lunch for 68 dollars lmao.

I got you some questions
A - Whats your pfp from?
B - Whats your favorite fantasy book?
C - Do you have any love interests?
D - What was the most terrifying moment of your life

lemme in

@Pete who is @Pete

But i wanted to ask you @Ness if you could add transparency to layers. Like still have them displayed however they could be slightly transparent, itd make drawing over reference tracks wayyy easier. thanks
Edit: this sounded like I was tracing. I meant reference sketch or like the pre sketch if you know what i mean. Like the thing you do before you go all in on a drawing. Like the rough outline so you dont waste too much time detailing and you realize it doesnt fit in your track

Couldn't find a for sure suggestion page.
