Eh, Fair Enough. Dig Down Did Kind Of Feel Like Madness Part 2. Still, Hey, Maybe The On-album Tracks

Eh, fair enough. “Dig Down” did kind of feel like “Madness Part 2.” Still, hey, maybe the on-album tracks will be good. I mean, Citizen Erased wasn’t ever released as a single.

I hadn’t heard of this upcoming B-sides and unreleased tracks album! It sounds awesome, though. Looking forward to it!

I noticed that your username is taken from the title track to Muse's most recent album, Drones. Did you manage to see them on the Drones Tour?

hell yeah, saw them last year in london. honestly it was incredible and i’m seeing them again in reading this august

You, uh, do realize that most people hated Anakin, right? I think the hate for Rey pales in comparison to that.

Like, I get the sentiment, but y’all are complaining about a thing that was never a thing to begin with.

anakin, a 9 year old, somehow successfully navigates a fighter plane into space and achieves a military victory and rey is the mary sue 

I realized after drawing my newest picture of Al that she resembles Noodle from Gorillaz's phase 2 design, especially with the blinding purple bangs. So I decided that to differentiate them, I would give her a different hair color. (I have to keep the bangs to make her.) Which do you prefer?

Blue-purple

Red

Black

Teal

Green

Blue

Rose

Greener

Silver

Brown

Or her normal purple hair

Let me know which one you think looks best!

Dear Tumblr,

I have been on this site since 2015. While I am fond of most things pertaining to its layout, I am curious. Is there a way for me to block certain tags so I won’t have to see certain posts tagged with them in my inbox? If not, are there any third party extensions that would allow this?

Because no matter how many posts I see about it, I still don’t care about Riverdale.

Thanks in advance.

All the best,

“Midnight Walk”

Remember this character? Anyone who has been following me since 2013 does. This is Al, and I used to use her in my Dan comics from 2012-2013. She’s based on two girls I was friends with in real life, both of whom I had a crush on and one of whom I later dated for a while. The character has been on my mind for a while, and one of the sketches I made yesterday somehow transformed into her, so I said, “Screw it,” and inked and colored it.

I was struggling on what background to give the pic, as I was half-tempted to put her in a messy room (though I’ve never shown her own room before) or in the corner at a party, but after one of my friends on Discord made an edit of it with a city background, I decided to do that using the pic they found as the background as a basis for my own background. (I can’t find the source of the original pic, but if any of you know where it’s located, please tell me so I can add that!)

Al is portrayed as being very quiet and introverted, barely speaking much and only talking in monotone when she does. She also never shows her eyes and has said that she hates people. Because of that, I imagine she’d enjoy nightly walks on the town.

Hope you enjoy the pic! I may draw more Al soon, so look out for that.

An Unexpected Loss

Hey, guys. You’re probably wondering where I’ve been these past several days, why I’ve been so inactive.

Well, after over five years, my 17-inch Windows 7 HP laptop finally broke down. I have no idea why and I certainly didn’t see it coming. It was working perfectly the day before. Maybe it installed a virus or something?

According to the people at Compu-Tune Up, a local computer repair business, something is going wrong with the hard drive itself and it needs to be replaced. This, of course, means that all my personal files will be wiped. They are currently backing them up, but we’ll see how many of them are saved.

This, of course, means an indefinite pause on the projects I’ve started but haven’t had time to work on until I can see if they can be backed up. So my Rainbow Rocks review probably will never be seen (no way am I animating all that again!), and I’ll also probably have to re-record the parts for my reviews of The Weird Al Show and Tron: Legacy, as well as any other projects we do. Now those won’t even necessarily happen until I can re-install Adobe Photoshop and Premiere Pro on the new computer, but one thing at a time. The point is that I will not be making any more projects--music videos, reviews, comics, etc.--for a while due to this setback, so major apologies for that. Also sorry for if I don’t sign in on some of my other accounts--all my passwords stored on my old computer have probably been lost, so there will definitely need to be some account recovery on that end.

Now as for my new computer. How is it? Well, it’s running on Windows 10, which I am personally not a fan of. I quickly learned how to customize it to make it more like my old computer. A few problems I have with it is that its screen is a touchscreen, making it nearly impossible to wipe dirt from without it detecting the pressure and moving stuff around on screen. The other big complaint I have with it is its lack of a CD player. As a musician, I kind of need a CD player to burn CDs of my original music and rip the audio from CDs of bands or artists I enjoy, so this bugs me. But I guess there wasn’t enough of a market for CDs or something. I don’t know.

But yeah, don’t be surprised if my activity is down for a bit until I can get myself up and running again. This was a major setback that, itself, came after a week of absolute hell. I just hope I don’t keep you waiting too long and can get back to my numerous projects soon!

Peace!
