Refresher: Amanita in the tower, Chapter 4 – Page 35.
Amanita was originally wearing her blue robe from the last chapter, but I got frustrated with having to add the flowers every time and worrying about the continuity of their placement. So between the last chapter and now, she redressed and bandaged her neck, but didn’t have time to straighten her hair.
Bonus: Original sketch of Amanita from this page.
Social Media stuff: I woke up to all these notifications on BlueSky this morning. I then recalled that my Monster Soup account was added to a Horror Comics starter pack created by Sarah N. (Thank you! ❤️) In a week the follower count went from the 60s to over 200. I have been trying to get my personal art account added to other starter packs this week, but all of my attempts have been met with radio silence. It’s left me a little demoralized, and a harsh reminder of why I avoid putting myself out there. Then those negative thoughts creep in, telling me I’m not good enough or I’ll never be good enough. Numbers, numbers, numbers. I’ve mentioned it before that it’s one of the main reasons I’ve hidden the site stats on my site. I don’t want to see how well or bad I’m doing. Makes me feel worthless, and that’s a spiral I don’t need. I have been known to make a post on social media and see it has no interactions, then delete it the following day. So many sketches have been lost that way. But I’m trying to stop that bad habit. Post and move on. 😅 I do feel like the quiet kid in school that wants to be part of the fun, popular crowd, but I always end up eating my lunch at a table by myself. (Probably a little too much insight into my mind, but writing it out is somewhat therapeutic.)
Other news… just keep drawing, just keep drawing… 🎨

I wanted to point this out. I got an email not long ago about this and wanted to make sure others knew about this change.
