first day of spring semester + Duke in those old drawings

First day of spring semester. Yeah. 

Around this time, I would be going to (or at, depending on the time I finish the post) my third class. But that class got canceled today. 

On the first day. Yeah. 

The professor said she's sick. So, well ok then. 

I also got a different professor for my composition class. Apparently, the class sections got changed, so the original professor is teaching a different class now. ... idk why. 

That's my first class. The second one I have is criminology. Haha yeah, I'm taking that too. 

I still have to order and buy my books for the semester. I'm gonna wait until tomorrow when I have attended the rest of my classes. 

---------

I felt like checking the old pictures I put in the last post. This is what I found out. 

The second picture is of Duke. And it's from an early 2017 post. Wow, I barely remember the beginning of 2017. That was only two years ago, geez, so much happened in my life since then. 

Ok but last year's winter lowkey feels like a lifetime ago to me now. Haha.. aaahh. 

(Oh, I would be in that third class now if it didn't get canceled.) 

I also drew the third picture in 2017. What the he--

... wait, that actually makes sense. never mind lol. 

The last two drawings I included are from 2015. The first one is Duke on the Night of the Black Flames. And yes, I called it that back then too. I wasn't sure if I did or not. It's nice to know I stayed consistent with the name of that night. 

The last drawing I put in yesterday's post is in the same one I put the Duke on the Night of the Black Flames drawing in.

Yikes @ my old art. I don't want to know how I got so many compliments on those two drawings. Excuse me- what? 

It's a scene from Chapter 46. Behind Duke is a cracked mirror. Wow, it looks so flat. And I'm referring to a mirror. Oh yikes. 

The dark lines on his face and wrist are blood. So I was right about that. I thought it would be blood. 

But I really thought he was wearing a shirt and pants. It looks like he has clothes on. Haha nope, he's supposed to be only wearing underwear in that scene. 

I called it partial nudity. Which is what it is. Partial. 

... Why didn't I color his underwear/boxers? How was I supposed to remember that was supposed to be a pair of underwear or boxers on him? What the heck. 

Duke sure looks skinny there. He's a skinny boy.

 When I think of him a few years prior to the time of the story (around the ages of 10-13 especially for some reason), I see him as being very skinny for his age. 

That's because I'm thinking of him being mistreated and a little malnourished (I mean, his parents really don't give a damn about his wellbeing). And I think of Duke beginning to eat less and less after the day he cuts several times into his chest when he was 9. Duke hated his body and everything else about himself because of the people in his life. 

I also think of Duke (when he's 12 and 13) and the "Daredevil" older teen smoking and drinking together. So instead of eating, Duke chooses to hang out with "Daredevil" to smoke and/or drink. I think they smoke more though. And so Duke becomes skinnier because of that too. 

... I imagine young teen Duke holding a lit cigarette between his fingers. Smoke in his lungs; fire in his heart. Oh..~

Geez wow ok. Teens were a terrible influence on kid Duke. It's disturbing. 

One introduces himself to drugs as a way to cope with life troubles. The older boys who harassed Duke at the pool (the same day he cuts his chest) were in their early or mid-teens. In comparison, Duke was 9. They took advantage of Duke because they were all older and bigger than him. And yeah, that makes that whole situation even more disturbing. It's supposed to be, haha. 

When I think of drawing nude art of my characters, it's always to show/represent their vulnerability and how messed up their life situations are. Other things cover their private areas, not underwear. It's never for anything sexual. Except if I change my mind one day and want to draw a sex scene with my 20+ year old characters.. which I probably will not do, ahahahahahaaa fuck. 

I have so many art ideas. Just saying this now before I forget. Some of them have the characters being naked. Not all of their bodies are revealed in the open (in fact, the majority of my ideas have their bodies mostly covered), they're covered in things that aren't clothes/worn like clothes. 

... oh shoot. I forgot what else I was going to talk about. 

I'm going to try and find out about my other old drawings I put in yesterday's post. I wonder what past me said about them. 

I'll return sooner or later. Bye for now.

EDIT- 1 hour later: I couldn't find the post where I drew that digital art of little kid Danny or little kid Ryen. The first picture had a skit to go along with it. Twinkle was talking about how she looks like a boy. Dawn is standing there. She is lost. Help her. Twinkle is annoyed at Duke because he looks big and is shirtless. The bloody Fierdan headshot is just a headshot. That's all I really said in the post I first had it in. 

As for the third to last thing, I.. I really don't know. January 2015 was a whole different timeline. Did 2015 really exist? I am not sure anymore. 

I looked at a few January 2015 posts and zoned out. I think I'm deceased. Or diseased. Those posts freaking killed me, guys. 

(I'm referring to the ones all about Duke and pee and a cactus and Duke peeing on a cactus. And in a skit thing, Duke was giving a tutorial on how to pee on a cactus. ... 2015 me, everybody!!) 

Duke is supposed to be constipated in that picture. I'm.. I.. omg why. w-h-y. Why. 

Ugh, it's only Monday.
