Soma Journal #2
Hi everyone, it’s a beautiful Friday morning out today. I’m writing this three days in advance but that’s still technically not a lie because even if it was raining I’d still think it was nice out.
I’ve been kinda unsure where to put this as far as timing goes, I think having it go up at exactly the same time as the weekly page caused the publishing schedule to screw up a bit and kept it from posting the page. This week I’ll try putting it up at 9:40 AM my time and see if that helps.
Lately I’ve been taking walks to get in shape for important health checkups in the future, as well as personal reasons, and it’s helped me feel a lot more motivated to finish pages. The benefit of having a somewhat varied schedule is that you don’t get bored as easily I guess.
As far as my other personal art endeavors go, I want to try to do more fan art of things I enjoy. It’s just hard to convince myself to put effort into drawing something that isn’t my own thing, especially when it kinda feels like I’m holding up a piece of art to an empty audience at times. So I don’t know, maybe I’ll just do silly goober doodles and see if that sticks.
Oh yeah, my birthday is later this month on the 26th so if you don’t wish me happy birthday I WILL remember and I WILL hold the final page of this comic hostage in however many years time.
That concludes the journal section of Soma Journal #2, it’s now time for…
COOL GATE FACTS
Jeane was originally going to have red or blonde hair, this is because her initial faceclaim was Deborah Ann Woll and her namesake is the final boss of the game No More Heroes. In fact, I even drew our Jeane in the color palette of that Jeane as a joke once ages and ages ago.
That’s pretty much all that I have to say, so see you all next week.

Not being bothered by the weather is certainly a healthy attitude to have, something it took me many, many years to learn. Oh, and Pre-Happy Birthday! Would be annoying to just keep wishing you Happy Birthday every week until the actual date? I only ask because it might make it easier for me to remember. 🙂
Glad you are taking care of yourself, that’s as important as anything else in life and for some of us it is one of the most challenging things to actually do, especially if you don’t have any particular motivation for staying more active. I hope it works out for you and helps make everything in your life more manageable. 🙂
Jeane was going to be a blonde or redhead? I probably wouldn’t have thought anything about it had you stuck with one of those hair colors, but I think the dark hair suits her well. I had to look up the actress who is her “faceclaim” (I’m learning all sorts of new words here), but that isn’t terribly surprising to me since most of the actors/actresses I easily recognize are older or passed away years ago, which probably has as much to do with my own age as it does with what movies and television shows I watch. I haven’t been inside a movie theatre in four or five years and stopped watching live TV longer ago than that, so I’m not really current anyway. Anyhow, I’m rambling, so I’ll just say I hope you have a great weekend!
Thank you! I don’t really go see movies or anything either but I occasionally watch stuff on [subscription service].
