being less terminally online since 2024(2023?) has made me a much better artist and altogether less cagey. you can see the moment i stopped giving a shit about living in my computer (real life takes over even more). Not that I particularly care about sharing that with people online. i do wanna remake this site at somepoint for my own sake because I find a lot of it to be either dull or unfinished. my favorite parts are the point-and-click gamey parts (which I'll continually accredit to jess for doing before anyone else) and of course the comics. i'm still pretty proud of what i've done with byoe and nemu but i recognize that there just needs 2 be more of it 2 develop my ideas of it and have it be a bit less one dimensional. not that repitition of something entirely solves all of the problems.

I've been thinking a lot about the statements of Akira Toriyama's editor Kazuhiko Torishima regarding the identity of a work. how the identity of a work can only be truly fleshed out through a process of trial and error. a lot of web works fail at this.. they're too quick to cut in on their ideas being strong, and don't consider the growth that could occur if you ripped at it a bit. if you reworked it somewhat. I almost want to soft-reboot byoe and nemu over time.. i originally intended for it to be slapstick-y (along the lines of dr.slump and peanuts) but it can be kind of talky instead sometime, internet humour shit. but hey, slapstick is old, there's always something new to chew at? what do i want to make fun of?
