Sketchy Thoughts + Locked In Love Preview
🕑 Added 2025-04-30 18:53:51 +0000 UTCThis week on Locked in Love
Alex and Addy have descended to the depths of The Velvet Reserve, found Dr Morgan Blackwood and her ever dutiful PA Gwen Han, but when tensions rise between Addy and Morgan over the treatment of Alex, Gwen is quick to diffuse the situation by proposing a game… with higher stakes than most would be willing to accept…

Are you ready for a gambling arc? I'm going to channel my Yu-Gi-Oh! energy as players are mind crushed into the shadowrealm. And I just realized how little terminology I'd have to change to make a Yu-Gi-Oh hypno doujin. Huh.
Anyway, I hope you guys love it, because I've been trying to work out the how, who, and why for actual months. We're set for heavy bondage, and even heavier hypnosis. And the fallout is going to be huge.
What do you think is going to happen? What would you like to see? How's your week going so far? How's your ma?
The following is from my Substack/Blog, "Bold Strokes and Sketchy Thoughts", where I talk about some often overlooked topics and bugaboos I have about art. If that's a thing you'd be into, consider joining signing up at: https://godofurii.substack.com.
Sketchy Thoughts: The Style Trap
Alex and Addy have descended to the depths of The Velvet Reserve, found Dr Morgan On Bluesky last week, I went on a bit of a rant about how young and inexperienced artists often confuse developing their voice with the more vapid development of style. And it’s a trap most of us have fallen into. There’s no shame in it, I’ve been there, you’ve been there, we’ve all been there.
But focusing on style really holds artists back, because it’s just superficial. Even the super special styles that “make” an artist, like Mike Mignola or Yoji Shinkawa aren’t who they are as artists because their work looks cool. They’re who they are because their art says something. It speaks to how think. I can teach you to draw like Mike or Yoji, their styles are amazing, but they’re superficial. If you aped them, you’d be making hollow facsimiles, not art. Because they’re using their voice to inform their art, not the other way around.
So what is a voice and how do you develop it? Well it’s literally informed by you being informed. By knowing your medium, by knowing other mediums, by know about current events, by knowing history, by having non-creative hobbies, by talking to people, by talking to people you disagree with. By having informed and nuanced opinions. To wit; by touching grass, feeling, and thinking.
