After years of drawing, I think I have finally conquered “same face syndrome.” It’s taken me some time, but I’ve really been trying to add features that show their different personalities, sex, race, etc.

To test my progress, I have drawn my characters without hair and accessories. I think I may have even made them too different now?? What do you think??

Obviously, I would never excuse lack of skill with “it’s just my style!” I’m not a child or noob (I’m actually quite experienced) so feel free to give me mean or kind critique, I can take it! But not if you’re some amateur yourself since like I said I’m experienced, not a noob <3

(But don’t actually criticize any same face I still have, because it is actually just my style and therefore I should give up if so… even though I definitely don’t have it anymore!!)

Also, the second slide shows what they look like with hair, etc. So my same face is definitely not an issue now! See how different they are???

Was doing some tiring house tasks that I’ve been putting off, as well as job interviewing, and doing some really annoying continuing ed to maintain licensing between jobs. Don’t have energy to grocery shop but used the last 4 pieces of bread and slices of pepper jack cheese to make a simple and tasty meal.

Ingredients:
• Sprouted Grain Bread
• Sliced cheese (I chose pepper jack)
• Spices to taste (chose oregano, basil, peppercorn)
• Butter

Toasted my bread. Buttered the insides. Added the oregano, basil, smoked peppercorn, salt to the buttered parts. Added the cheese and assembled the sandwich. Buttered the top. Heated in microwave for 20 seconds. Made two of them total. Might microwave some frozen veggies if I still have energy after.

Threw some precooked tenders in the microwave and some brown rice in a rice cooker. Threw in a homemade spice mix I made to make my low energy meals actual tasty. It was inspired by andouille sausage since I love andouille sausage.

The seasoning mix was actually a huge success! I put in one teaspoon. The rice is soooo tasty after simmering in it. Above it I had broccoli with a touch of butter to get my veggies in.

I’m going to try this “recipe” again with canned tuna. With the tuna I’ll probably mix a teaspoon into the tuna as well. And ofc I can change out the frozen veggie that I steam with the rice.

The seasoning mix for anyone who’s curious:
• 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
• 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon onion powder
• 2 tablespoons black pepper, ground
• 3 tablespoons kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• A pinch of ground smoked black peppercorn

Paper bowl since I’m too tired to wash bowls and plates and our dishwasher doesn’t really work. I still hand wash our cups, mugs, silverware, and other cookware. Removing plates and bowls from washing makes things just a bit less overwhelming.
