Things you can do with potatoes ;;w;; so my grandparents sent me these packets of mashed potatoes that just look so sad to me because it feels like eating baby food. So I tried turning them into potato balls, and I gotta admit, they're not so bad. It at least has that crunch to look forward to
@Oatmeal-monster
So I encountered a family of cats that the photo store takes care of UwU they're so cute! And so playful! Makes me want to take care of cats again, sadly my sister has allergies so I can't do so 🥲 so I'll settle for playing with other people's cats
@Oatmeal-monster
I have a bee badge nowww OwO First time to participate in hive power up day UwU and the next goal is to do the power up month and make it habitual UwU This is my November goal and hopefully will come to a point where it's habitual
@Oatmeal-monster
I feel very unproductive today. Or maybe just distracted UwU I have the biggest distraction I've ever had in my life and I'm happy about it 🤣 hopefully he continues to be a distraction Here's an unfinished zombie hand for you guys UwU I'm in the mood to draw spooky for Halloween
@Oatmeal-monster
Back in the lab again. It's so quiet since half of the people here still aren't back from their long weekend. Maybe I should have taken a long weekend too
@Oatmeal-monster
So so soooo no samples, no activity and so I can draawwww OwO It's been a while since I got to draw in the lab and I'm taking advantage of the fact that I'm just chill for the next few days I'm trying to really finish this zombie hand tho 😅
@Oatmeal-monster
Missed day 29: uh-oh Uh-oh would be my first thought when a hand like this pops up from the ground 🤣🤣 Cuz you know a zombie invasion is underway UwU Materials used: green, red, orange, yellow, black, white pens and black ink UwU Duration: 3 hours
@Oatmeal-monster
So I tried to work on another drawing here in the lab but I kind of messed up on the legs part so nowwwwww I seriously have nothing else to do but wait for the time out 🥲 which is 4 hours from now Oh boredom. What am I gonna do with you
@Oatmeal-monster
Look at that UwU I'm keeping up with the power up mo th UwU Hopefully next year, I can increase the power up amount and really really grow my hive account because this amuses me UwU it's like having a mini quest in games!
@Oatmeal-monster
Been gone for a while 😅 So today, my superiors are making me read and take notes again because there's no samples and next week, I start my analytical instrument training and I'm pretty excited about that!
@Oatmeal-monster
My supervisors don't like it when I have nothing to do for some reason so they're making me read and take notes for the rest of the week since next week, I start my analytical instrument training! I've always wanted to learn how to operate the instruments in chemistry. And soon I'll be permitted to ;;w;; For now, look at my tiny tiny notes
@Oatmeal-monster
So today was my instrumentation training and I was taught the basic equipment first. I was also taught how to make standards and I'm happy that I got to use the auto dilution machine for making the standard solutions 🥹🥹🥹
@Oatmeal-monster
So so sooooo I bought my dogs clippers just recently because it's so expensive to have them groomed 🥹🥹🥹 so I'm gonna learn how to groom them instead. The clippers look good. I hope they don't scare my dogs though
@Oatmeal-monster
My sister sent me pictures of the dogs just being... Dogs 🤣 and idk but they look bored these days. It's probably because of the rain and the fact that they haven't been allowed to go out so they don't get sick
@Oatmeal-monster
I have this feeling.... That I forgot how digital again ;;a;; buttt I'm gonna try to do this on digital while I wait for the ink layers to dry up. So basically I'm gonna do 2 renders on this one because why not 😅 I just hope my brain can keep up with the fact that I'll constantly be shifting mediums
@Oatmeal-monster
I... Am not patient enough to wait for ink to dry 🤣 So I thought doing this ferryman in digital would be a good idea too UwU 25 minutes in and I don't think I forgot how to work with digital I just hope I can finish both pieces by tonight
@Oatmeal-monster
Ink is dry and I am penning this in UwU I think I've gotten faster with inking after all the practice I got from inktober 🤣 well, it just means I can work on more stuff in a day and maybe I should level up by doing more detailed stuff soon Duration: 1 hour
@Oatmeal-monster
And so I made Charon again OwO but this time, without a passenger. So maybe he's off to pick up another passenger here. I seem to have quite a liking to the ferryman UwU byta that's because he has such pretty goth aesthetics Materials used: black liquid ink, fineliners, white pen, white charcoal Duration: 2 hours
@Oatmeal-monster
Kind of sad that I'm running out of washi tape 🥲🥲 I think I already used up 2 full rolls. Though I have a few more rolls, they're all pretty thin so I might have to start looking for a similar set or a new set of washi tape entirely
@Oatmeal-monster
Last night was movie night and we were watching journey to the center of the earth. There was this one scene were Brendan Fraser pulled out a yo-yo and my brain's automatic response was "ai haven't seen nor played with a yo-yo in years OnO I must get one!" So without a second thought, I ordered one online because it wasn't that expensive UwU and I got this aluminium/zinc alloy one. So now I'm excited to play with it OwO and practice my yo-yo tricks again
@Oatmeal-monster
ARTPARK IS COMING BACK!!! AND MY FAVOURITE 3 EMOJI CHALLENGE IS COMING BACK!!! And so here's my attempt at the emojisi was originally planning nsfw but 15 minutes into sketching and it ended up more fantasy than anything
@Oatmeal-monster
I had to do the groceries so while waiting in line, I thought I would try working on this a bit, but apparently people stare when I draw nude bodies and my mom told me that the outside world it's as accepting as she is of my porn drawings. And I'm just 😶😶😶 I will give her a cloth wrap later but I need to fix the shading and anatomy first- Duration so far: 1 hour
@Oatmeal-monster
There are days when I can really feel the weight of my samples 🥲🥲 then there are days where I seriously have nothing to do in the lab except draw. It balances out all the good and bad days, sure. Still, when they say there's a shipment of samples, there really is a shipment of samples ;;-;; I had to digest another 350 load of samples today and a pending 100 tomorrow. I hope that's the only ore shipment we get this week
@Oatmeal-monster
So here's half of the 100 samples I have in line today 🥲🥲🥲 the other half, I'm still weighing and here's to another 4 hours processing and being stuck in the digestion room
@Oatmeal-monster
This was the samples I digested yesterday. I'm pretty happy it finally cleared out now and that the solution is now ready to be fed to the machine UwU I have no idea if we'll be working on a new shipment today ;;-;; but I hope the sample gods have mercy on me today and just decide to delay the sample preparation. It's been 2 days of no drawing and my hands are getting fidgety again
@Oatmeal-monster
So so soooo The samples aren't for me today, they're for my partner 🥲 and I have nothing to do today, and I really wasn't prepared to have nothing to do today 🥲 but "be careful what you wish for" I guess 🤣 At least I'll have energy to write later
@Oatmeal-monster
I discovered y supervisor's cat in the sample holding warehouse 🤭🤭🤭 apparently my supervisor didn't like being alone in the lab (he lives in the lab. Literally) and since he can't go back to his family in Visayas, he just decided to adopt this cat which they found in a nearby dumpster a few months back. He told me not to tell the old lady upstairs (the operations head) so now we have a secret little pet UwU and I enjoyed feeding her some of my food this morning
@Oatmeal-monster
The traffic is so bad today, I swear I'm pretty close to just walking to the lab. I've never experienced this kind of traffic before yet the lane going the opposite direction is flowing smoothly. What gives? Anyways, here's a tired me cuz I had to do so much processing yesterday
@Oatmeal-monster
I am the terminator 🤣🤣🤣 Okay so the fume hood I use for my acids got busted and since there's an influx of samples, and I don't want to get buried in workload, I'm forced to wear an acid vapor respirator
@Oatmeal-monster
I bring you guys Ori! I can't believe she's oy been with us for a month and she's already this big OnO Like... I don't know if my wallet can keep up with how much she eatssssss cuz she's such a little piggy 😤
@Oatmeal-monster
Watercolour mood today UwU I'm trying to dry the first layer right now while sharing music with someone UwU I hope every day was this peaceful. I need to get away from the hectic lab life sometimes Let's see if I can both of these today. I hope I can UwU
@Oatmeal-monster
Although this isn't the progress point I'm in now... It's still a progress shot UwU I'm actually on the inking and detailing part of this medusa render. And I think I can go 70% before I take the dogs down in a bit OwO
@Oatmeal-monster
Progress so far UwU it's at that awkward stage right now and is really lacking in finer details, but at least the base colour looks good so I don't have much to complain about
@Oatmeal-monster
Progress report: there's progress but I'm too sleepy to finish it 🥲 I think adjusting my work schedule reaaalllyyyy took a toll on my body clock. I've been way way sleepier this week than I was in the previous weeks. Oh well
@Oatmeal-monster
It's Sunday market day todayyyyy Been a while since we had this because in the previous weeks, we kind of just bought what we needed to cook and it was a tad expensive compared to just buying in bulk at the market. Still surprised at how much the prices went up
@Oatmeal-monster
Life struggles. A messy desk every single time I go traditional 😤😤😤 anyways, I bought a new stylus so hopefully I can practice digital again and I can be rid of this mess
@Oatmeal-monster
I'm almost done omg!!!!! I guess this is one of my less productive weekends, after all since I'd usually be done with a drawing in like 2 hours but the amount of details I was trying to put here is making this take longer than I had hoped for 🥲
@Oatmeal-monster
My medusa is donneee My new stylus is on the way and pretty soon, I'll be back to Digi practice for a few weeks like I've planned to back in October 🥲 I'm not a fan of medusa but I do feel bad for her in the lord's that surround her. In the end, she was the victim in everything and idk if her turning into a Gorgon was really for protection Materials: ink, market, pens Duration: 3.5 hours
@Oatmeal-monster
I'm weirded out by how clean the sample area is. There's no new shipment this week and we've been joking about how the company is closing down even though we all know that the ber months is an off-season for mining in my country. So yeah, no samples today, we're just continuing the rest of the samples we couldn't process last week
@Oatmeal-monster
Remember that I said my lab grandparents got me pens to draw with for when we don't have samples? Looks like I'm finally putting them to good use 🤣 Lazy sketch today because I seriously have nothing to do and we've already updated and cleaned up everything there is for the audit
@Oatmeal-monster
So apparently we do have samples and my partner and I just agreed to weigh everything then I'll do the digestion as soon as I get to the lab. So by the time she's here and there's more samples to run, she'll be weighing those first and if there's more then I'll be helping while waiting time. But ultimately, I'll be the one doing the digestion tomorrow like I did today
@Oatmeal-monster
Heyyy I'm back to sketching again while I wait for my chicharones to finish UwU I'm gonna try to finish this today because this was one of the inktober prompts I missed. Temptation
@Oatmeal-monster
Orange later is ongoing. I'll work on a pink, yellow and brown layer for this too to make the blend look skinlike somehow. Hopefully I can finish this soon so I can still post it on hive
@Oatmeal-monster
So I got my new stylus last night OwO and I haven't made a practice sketch yet but I did try out if it was compatible with my tablet. And I'm happy it is!!! So now, expect more digital art from me... When I'm fully rested
@Oatmeal-monster
Looking through my wall.... I actually forgot to post the finished piece for this one 🤣🤣 So this is my lips study and my inktober day 25: temptation I do think her lips look really tempting like that, especially when they're emphasized by the pull of the cherry stems
@Oatmeal-monster
So lunch break came and went and I only got to work on this for a bit. I was thinking of whether to do a render or just to sketch, but when my partner saw, she told me to render so I did 🤣
@Oatmeal-monster
Rows and rows of tubes today. What a way to spend your Friday, really 😩 I wish chemistry had a work from home job because I think I'd like that a lot. But no. A while ago, I changed tubing for hydrofluoric acid and I was scared to death cuz of that ;;-;; the spirit of HF izz strong ;;-;;
@Oatmeal-monster
I'm up to drawing today UwU for the weekly splinterlands things I should bring the tablet to work regularly so I can practice digital as often as I like. And to see if I can speed up my drawing process. Because this is already 40 minutes in. And I know drawing can never be sped up. But automation can reduce brain processing time, and in turn, can speed up some processes
@Oatmeal-monster
Doesn't seem like a lot has changed even after working on it for another 30 minutes. I think I've gotten slow with digital. Kind of sad but at least I'm going at a good pace here
@Oatmeal-monster
Cumulatively... 2 hours 45 minutes progress and I'm not halfway done yet 🤣 I feel like I still have a whole lot more adjustments to work on because even my hands are still readjusting to just a digital medium. But the one adjusting the most are my eyes 🤣🤣🤣 it hates max screen brightness
@Oatmeal-monster
For tonight's dinnerrrrrr we made kimbap~ Been a while since we lastade this. Mostly because it was hard to get seaweed sheets and partly because it's sooo tedious to make. I missed this a lot though UwU
@Oatmeal-monster
Splinterlands week 215 art done~~ You can check the progressions on my fees or here: https://ecency.com/hive-158694/@bananzell/spirit-of-the-forest-or I think I did pretty good with this because I love how I retained my blending skills even after the 1 month Digi break Software: medibang paint Duration: 4 hours ;;-;;
@Oatmeal-monster
Art park is making a comeback and I'm only sketching the 3emojisnfor the second week 🤣 gosh I wish I slept properly instead of finding inspiration for this piece
@Oatmeal-monster
For most of today... I cried, slept, and did the groceries. I'm a bit heartbroken and I thought of just drawing with the peeps in artpark tonight. So while we listened to music, I worked on this. The company helped UwU
@Oatmeal-monster
No samples right now and I am bored af. It's only 10am where I am and I still have a few hours left in my shift ;;-;; This progression is taking so long because I'm not so comfortable drawing something so nsfw at work but who is 🤣🤣🤣
@Oatmeal-monster
My lab grandparents love me way too much that they sent me a get well package when I told my supervisor earlier that I was sick 😭😭💕💕💕 the elders of science really love me
@Oatmeal-monster
Travel selfies over the weekends 🤣 because I went to see my best friend that lives waaaayyyy up north 🥲 I think I need a month's worth of sleep to recover from the shit we did lol, but yeah! Never a boring moment with my best friend! I'm back noise~
@Oatmeal-monster
Bored af because there's always no samples on a Monday 🥲 and I'm glad I brought my tablet 🥲 so now I can work on my spl art entry because I couldn't join last week due to sample overload
@Oatmeal-monster
There wasn't much to do todayyyyy so I had time to draw UwU 3 hours in the making and I'm not even satisfied enough with the details plus I haven't figured out how to do the background yet, but I want it to be darker than this 🤣
@Oatmeal-monster
Dinner is served~~ We made kare kare as per request of my sister since she'll be flying abroad soon 🥲 this will be her last night here then we're all driving her off to the airport 🥲 I never knew departures were this sad
@Oatmeal-monster
4 hours in the making and I still can't figure out how to do the background ;;-;; Background skills, where did you goooooo Why did you disappear when I needed you mostttt Or maybe it's about time I try to sleep? Because this lack of sleep is giving me a hard time too
@Oatmeal-monster
It is Tuesday and the samples I've been waiting for finally came. Here's a glimpse of the aqua regia digestion I had to run so early. I just need to wait for the particles to settle then I'm feeding this to the machine
@Oatmeal-monster
Only went to work for half the day then took my sister to the airport. And now, I'm having lunch with the fam to make them stop crying. They don't cry when they eat good food :")
@Oatmeal-monster
Sometimes, when I look at my unfinished digital work, I get so tempted to get back to traditional because I know I can finish these faster on traditional and with paint. But I'm trying to improve my speed and skills in Digi so hold out a little more, self ;;w;;
@Oatmeal-monster
I've gotten pretty okay with taking more and more selfies these days. Maybe it's because I stopped caring about a few things again. Anyways, I finished Wednesday (netflix series) and since it's a Wednesday today, I thought of going with a little Wednesday vibe too
@Oatmeal-monster
We're at a water garden now and I can't believe we have to wait so long for the other sister. We still don't know what to eat for dinner, either
@Oatmeal-monster
A part of dinner UwU we had bingsu for dessert! This is what we've all been craving for, for a while now UwU the last time we had this, I was still in college
