Pai writing a regular journal, whaaaaaaat...
BUT YEAH I've been kinda quiet here lately with uploads 'cause I've been doing lots of stuff elsewhere, so thought I might as well shoot out an update about that. Even if I don't upload much, I'm still around dA every day, ahaha.
SO LAST MONTH I illustrated another children's book (different author from my last), and then for that same author I'll be doing a couple more books of theirs once they've been written! This first book isn't out yet, but I'll update when it is; it's more of an instructional book than a storybook, but I did a ton of cute pieces for it that I'm actually pretty proud of. I the title it'll be out as is My Life in my Pocket for Preschoolers: Geometry & Physics! The author is an incredibly lovely person, I've really enjoyed working with her.
AND THIS MONTH I'm doing Inktober! I'm updating every day with those drawings on both my Tumblr and my Instagram, but I'll be uploading all of those in a big dump here on dA at the end of the month! I'm having a TON of fun doing it... I've taken the opportunity to explore all kinds of new tools and techniques I wouldn't have otherwise touched, and I'm feeling pretty good about all of them. I might even have the confidence now to explore the ambition I've always held of trying to do a comic traditionally...!
AND NEXT MONTH, slightly on the note of comics, I'll be doing NaNoWriMo! I'll be taking a stab at a first draft for something I'll hope I can eventually make into a comic; writing is super hard for me to focus on outside of NaNo, so I always try to crank out as much as I can during that opportunity. And my difficulty writing is the main reason why I don't try more comics. Two birds!
aND THEN THE MONTH AFTER THAT, IN DECEMBER I'll be having commission specials! Since I used to only do them in December, and also since it'll be a year since I opened them, I thought it'd be fun to do something for it. I'm going to add in a couple of new base options for these! Stay tuned.
and then after that... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
HAVE A GREAT DAY ALL

I Am So Confucius Cartoon Strip
AI infused political and humorous commentary in a one frame cartoon strip. (It's a dangerous thing when puns and art come together)

wow hello
WOAH HEY DEVIANTART it's been five years since I've written a journal (and apparently my account is 10 years old today too, yikes). I intended to write one a month or so ago under the stupor of quarantine, and now it's the dawn of eclipse too and everything has gone very understandably quiet LMAO... Eclipse is genuinely awful and the only thing keeping me on dA is rp groups, but I'll probably still keep posting here and there anyway. I do have a twitter that sees some different art than I post here, but I'm still not a big frequenter of social media in general, so it's not much..!!
I'm still drawing every day though!! That will never change,
Pai's Print Shop -- Now Open!
I finally opened my store!
After months of having to put it off for this or that reason, I finally have my print shop up! It has every one of my existing prints available, which includes some art I’ve never posted online. Though mostly fanart (a lot of Tales of, and there are other fandoms in there too!), I have a couple of originals available as well!
Each print is A4 size, shipped flat in a hard envelope backed by cardboard, and I do combined shipping for no additional charge. Shipping is also free within the US! Additionally, every order includes a hand-written thank you note from me with a small doodle--I believe there’s a fi

I Illustrated a Children's Book!
Over the summer I teamed up with my cousin to illustrate one of the children's books she's written inspired by her kids, which just released! It's called Puddle Jumping--which is about, you guessed it, jumping in puddles. It's a cute little story for early readers with 10 full-color illustrations (by me!). It was a really fun project to tackle, and doing kids and cartoony styles was something really different for me--not to mention I got to paint lots of pretty water, ohohoho. I've been really pumped about it coming out, so I'm excited I finally get to share!
But uh! If you have any young children in your life who might like it, or if you...
