I decided I wouldn’t let myself post any more personal art until I finished my last commission – which was hanging over my head while my executive dysfunction seemed dead set on keeping me from refilling my adhd meds. Wouldn’t you know, the day after I got the meds, I spent the next 8 + 6 hours just drawing drawing drawing. Seems there was a bit of a queue. Actually, that’s true, there were a number of ideas from Danny’s last few videos that have been marinating. Oh, did I not mention, it’s Danny again? Yes, much to the chagrin of my borrower audience, the favorite muse returns.
I don’t think I’ve ever gone back to watch an ad read this many times. It’a not even…it’s just the fucking delivery, man. Like— the micro movements in his eyes and the slight squint, the shape of his mouth, when he says he likes oatmeal raisin cookies…aaahhhhhh what the fuck. My only cope for why this attention to detail isn’t totally weird is- in my caricature and comics work, the tiniest pixel difference in the length or shape of a feature can change the mood entirely. When I’m looking at photo/video reference, I hone in on exactly what that expression is evoking and how to communicate that in line. To be fair, his delivery has always got me. My favorite vine was one of his, though I did not put name to face till post Covid. Frustratingly, it’s not one of his more clever ones – it’s the cool for the summer vine, where he screams “DIE FOR EACH OTHER”. That’s approaching just loud = funny, but he sells it. Possibly a synchronicity even back at this first moment – the vine caption was “I come on a little strong sometimes”. Well yes! It has the flavor of foreshadowing. Though perhaps that vine just appealed to my inherent personality, no woowoo explanation needed.
The cowboy hat on that character was a personal attack, if I’m being real. When I was watching the ghost hunting video with a friend a while back, she turned to look at me just as danny did his outfit swap. She started cackling. “You should have seen your FUCKING FACE when bro showed up in that getup.” I hid under a convenient blanket.
Also the jump height thing is from an ig story he posted forever ago. This stuff is truly, truly for an audience of one.

below this is a potentially NSFW image, you have been warned by this warning.
thank you.
what do I even say. The earring/scarf combo was the first domino, I think. I sent Laura the sketch of this, and she dared me to post it. I was like no chance in hell….but also…idk let’s see how it comes out colored, fuck it. And like with neon vortex poster, I went into Omega Flowstate and banged it out in half the usual time. I guess god really wanted this to exist. Ironically. Blame Laura for it being here, though.
I’ll close this out with a few shouting-at-clouds audios. Getting pretty sad and deep with these. A newer lady at tarot said “your way of expressing yourself is very soothing, especially your voice.” So…this could be like, moral outrage asmr? Seems about right for the current state of he world.
