oh hey, i finally made the ArtBees community...

it wont be a 'powerhouse' of any sort. it is NOT a curation or a voting group, it's more about creative people who seeks to connect with fellow creative people :>

HERE IS THE ARTBEES COMMUNITY: /trending/hive-159845

our discord is here: https://discord.gg/ENN8KCb

so, anyway, what have you all been up to? apparently there's a lot of craziness going on, 2020 has been pretty insane, lol~

here in australia, we are starting to ease off lock down restrictions in stages. schools will start to reopen in two weeks' time, apparently!

the weather's pretty bleak this week, lots of rain and cloudy days. it's truly winter now here, i think...

i've been drawing and playing games :D i beat DMC5 then i played some couch co-ops with bestie, Children of Morta and Overcooked 2. Both were fun. I can talk about those, but I'm a little tired today. Doing the Mermay challenge for the first time this year and it's been pretty full on. Like Inktober, but full with mermaids.... XD;

oh, i've also been watching a lot of AppleTV :> I've finished the first season of Servant and SEE and now starting on For All Mankind. They are really entertaining, I guess I'll give a short impression for each of them for this post...

SERVANT

10 episodes. I thought it was going to be like Damien the Omen thing but it was really more about a pair of parent's struggle with harrowing reality with an added creepiness of a strange nanny girl. The acting was pretty good though it could be over the top at parts. Ron Weasley's actor is in this, as an adult and I keep calling him Ron when I saw him in my head XD

I enjoyed this and I look forward to second season~

PS. the series features pretty graphic cooking preparation thing like rabbits and eels being prepared for gastronomy stuff so avoid watching this one if you can't stand that kind of stuff~

SEE

Aquaman's Jason Momoa is in this one. 8 episodes. I dont remember what I thought it was going to be like, but watching it... I gotta say it's kinda more trying to be grim-urban-fantasy thing. A bit somewhere in between Game of Thrones and Witcher vibes, but set in post-apocalyptic world where humans are now blind, except for very few who are hunted as 'witches' for their gift of vision.

This was was a bit hammy at parts and silly. I did like Jason Momoa's character, but some of the other cast was a bit flakey. There is also the woman from Blade Runner 2049 here and her acting was so over the top that I couldn't take her scenes seriously at all. Not really looking forward to second season for this one~

PS. this series tries to be as adult as GoT and yet it wont commit. like it tries to shock, but won't go all the way, which was weird. also if you're religious, maybe not a good watch since the way people 'pray to God' in this one is through masturbation....... no, im not joking XD

bee arting with arting bees~

okay, that's the two series i've finished. i'll come back later with more impressions once i've finished FOR ALL MANKIND and maybe I'll also try Captain America's series after that. lockdown's been pretty good for catching up with some tele, lol~

anyway, this post was made for the ArtBees community so here's a drawing I made:

i used mouse with the sketchio website, and you can see in this one that i made some errors that i had to undo and redraw :> as i said in my previous post, dont be afraid of mistakes when drawing because mistakes are how we learn!

when i was done i thought maybe she needed a background to make her POP so then i placed her on top of the mandala i made in the older post and here is the finished picture:

if you forgot or you weren't here when i made the mandala background, you can check this post for the step by step: @veryspider/mouse-mandala-making

And before I go, as usual, don't forget to hype up #HIVE at your social media platforms :D Again, it is one small thing ANY of us can do to help #HIVE out in the world. We need constant people talking about it in positive manners to keep the HYPE alive and to grow our new home~

kaaaaaay, see you around, friendsssssss~ o/
