i have this tendency that when i am SO IN THE ZONE doing an artwork, i would spend HOURS STRAIGHT in finishing a major process of the art (e.g., line art, colors, shadows). there are even times that it ends up with me finishing the artwork in that span of time (even if it takes me like days apart to do all processes in that art). hyperfocus is the term, i believe.

usually the things that would stop me or get me to pause doing that is when either my tablet's battery gets so low or when my body gets super duper tired/sleepy or my brain decides to finally notice the need to use the restroom. i know, switching tasks is hard as an autistic.

then couple that with the revenge bedtime procrastination i often have... maybe that or the fact that doing things by myself while everyone else is asleep is so peaceful and freeing.

then BOOM! the night passes and i have significant progress on this one current artwork and then i notice that the sun has already risen /lh

this (autistic) burnout i'm still currently in has probably temporarily weakened some of my art skills, which led me to a stump while i was doing my entry for this June's challenge.
so instead of continuing that, i switched to a new artwork (the "current artwork" above) prompted by a certain song... technically its cover art. it's more of a redraw actually so at least there's not much pressure.

i'm gonna show that artwork when i'm done. probably in my main
profile, but will have an eyestrain + creepy/horror warning regardless. i'm so excited!!

06/20/2025 update: decided to put it in one of my subaccounts lol. here it is, but eyestrain + creepy/horror warning! (the latter warning is because it might be unsettling for some haha)
