2) ever notice how the hobbits have clocks? Fireworks exist in Middle Earth but we don't know if hobbits ever make them or if they're purely a Gandalf thing. So LotR ends with Saruman sitting on clockwork tech and gunpowder - either he realizes it or he's so in an older magic/preindustrial mindset to figure it out *yet*. He's a Maiar so he's got time. Basically the Scouring of the Shire has the hobbits saving the entire world again, and they don't know they're doing it.

Not great #drawings today, trying to figure out more connections through an overall pose, and to work out facial feature placement. Which I think is actual progress for someone staving off suicidal ideation.
I did some work on trying to find more references and reach out to an existing reference; got lost on Twitter for a while, looking for cute cat photos, but ran into some really upsetting stuff; researched dietary stuff.
I am going to try drawing, I worry I spend too much time trying to improve drawing but professional work is almost all about beautiful paintings; I worry I'm on the wrong course.

Damnit. Two of my references left companies they were with, one "doesn't feel comfortable giving a reference" and one just isn't available. This makes me feel like it's my fault, that I'm a flakey worthless person, that I will never be officially allowed to be not flakey and worthless. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
