Momentum sketch dump to buy time! (Patreon)

The reason Patreon isn’t updated enough is the same reason my site has rotted in shame for all this time: While I’m wrecked, being able to concentrate enough to craft a properly-written update is basically impossible. I can only do small chunks, like little sketches and brief tweets. One minute of focus can equal 10 tweets, so I look “present” in a day, even if I spent all other minutes of the day brain locked in bed.

Focusing on Momentum is helpful, because I have 25 years of background thinking behind the characters, so I can autopilot a lot of the writing, even tho these are new adaptations - BUT… Things always get worse for me! I had a HORRIBLE anxiety/panic attack incident recently, as my illness requires me to visit doctors every week, while an uncontrolled (but only in America, for SOME REASON) pandemic is at its worse, and the fear of dying from someone else’s careless idiocy led to a meltdown. I am honestly still one sudden jolt away from a heart attack. It would suck so hard to fight for life all this time, only to die from the cruel and stupid deliberately trying to kill off, well, people who don’t vote Republican. The worst possible death. (And thus most likely, knowing my luck?) Those assholes shouldn’t win!

But I’m broke in a dozen ways, recovering from the most recent messy setback, and praying a new complication doesn’t arise and set back recovery from all the other stuff. I have not been able to catch my breath without something beyond my control going stupidly wrong since… 2017? It’s a goddamn MIRACLE it took this long for the anxiety to break me. By any metric, I should have died from all this YEARS ago.

And so, instead of sharing the indulgent OC lore that has kept me sane, and been the lone source of joy this year, I’m giving you a sketch dump from my phone’s “Momentum” folder to buy more time. Most was seen on Twitter first, tho there might be some Patreon repeats. I’ve been trying to hone my Nate/Rhenna designs recently, but wanted to mix in some older sketches from my phone folder, which were previously “too weak to share,” for variety. But we are in desperate times! Sorry!
