Congratulations! I had no doubt in you.

Side note, I hope they fix the audio quality for that class...

@Totalanimefan: I uh... don't. Ahah. Balance, that is...

What ends up happening is I'll hyperfocus on a specific kind of style for several months, want to switch up, hyperfocus on that, and on and on again... it kind of cycles back though? Like, I may not draw realistically at *all* this year, but next year it might be all I do for 6 or 7 months. Or I might not ever draw eyes in some specific way but then that'll be all I do for a few months.

Some small things stick though - How I do my lineart, or certain shading styles, for instance (like giving everyone mouth-corner dimples by shading the mouth corners, or using a specific shading style for skin with a blue tint in the shadows, (which i picked up like 6 months ago and have been trying to do every time since... though I sometimes forget!) or, for a long while, doing really blurry eyes, though I phased that out because I started doing a different eye style.)

I've been drawing for close to 13 years but I'm always learning and growing, I don't want to stagnate so I try new things all the time and new styles to find what I'm comfortable with and what I need to learn.

@Totalanimefan: Sorry, totally thought I responded to this!

I'm not actually sure what I'd call it. It's not fully anime, but it's not fully cartoon either? And most definitely not semirealism...

@Stinky: yeah. In regards to the timing of the announcement, it was right after Q3 so I'm 100% sure that they announced it during the PLL for that reason, rather than announcing it on the Friday before - when the decision had been finalized.

But regardless, I'm seeing so many players putting so much hatred out right now and it's like... Endwalker has extremely high expectations on the coattails of Shadowbringers. Which means that things have to be *extra scrutinized*, QA has to work *extra hard* to make sure they don't miss anything, and have you *seen* those bags under Yoshi's eyes? I'm sure he's getting at most like 3 hours a day sleeping. But a lot of players seem to be taking this as a personal sleight against them and it's kind of... like... "what? why do you think they'd JEOPARDIZE their relationship with their fans, the goodwill of their players, just to double check that 'this' line of dialogue didn't conflict with what some random NPC 3 expacs ago said in a one off side quest?"

@Totalanimefan: There's a big reason I dropped out of college, and that's math lol. It genuinely was too much for my wee little peabrain and I couldn't handle it.

I hope things work out though! Bad audio quality is a big part of why some people just refuse to do some things, I think companies underestimate just... HOW bad it can get.

@Hazbin: You're 18, yes? I understand doing things while you're at your parents house is still hard but legally, they can't necessarily *stop* you from doing anything. If you purchase your own clothing, you can take some of that money and put it towards a "future cosplay funds".
