Gifs Are Actually Fun To Make

I was listening to ELO, and suddenly this appeared on my screen. I guess subconciously I'm very excited for the newest season of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.


Maybe In the future I'll make more artsy gifs. I find it quite enjoyable to make this loopable moment of time that conveys just a little more than a single still image.

Pictures are Art Hugs

Life has been a jumble these days. It can't be explained in any other terms save one of the oldest game design principles there is: give the player too many choices and they won't be able to choose anything. So here I am, looking at what is to become of my life, full of way too many choices, most of which don't lead to anything particularly satisfying in the near future, and I'm stumped.
Things run through my mind all the time. Mostly terrifying, miserable things. They're trivial, frankly useless thoughts, but thinking them will keep me up an night, it'll keep me from being productive in the day, and it's exhausting.

I'm exhausted.

So, I just sat down and drew a picture.
I think there's nothing more satisfying than drawing a picture. Pictures are my first language; some of my best memories involve a picture somehow. When I draw a picture, I can say everything I need to say.

I pressed the pen really hard, and I blared Foreigner into my ears. Then I colored it in five times, then I looped them to make a terrifying animation gif thingy. Anyway, I want to put it here, so I can look at it when I feel tired. I'm sorry viewers, for the inevitable eyebleed that is to follow. I was nice enough to put it after the jump to spare you.
