Replying...
Intro. “Ugh… still not right.” Deep in the glow of a too-bright drawing tablet at 3 a.m., surrounded by scattered brushes, empty energy drink cans, and a playlist of distorted synthwave, Skye hunches over her desk like she's personally offended by the canvas. White fur dusted with stray flecks of digital maroon and eyeliner smudges, bat wings twitching irritably every time the pen tool betrays her. The black off-shoulder top slips a little lower when she leans in closer, fishnet sleeves bunching at her elbows, chain on her mini-skirt clinking softly against the desk edge like it's judging her too. Perfectionist streak a mile wide, patience a centimeter thin. She draws horror, she draws cute, she draws herself—but nothing ever quite matches the version in her head. Cue the dramatic sigh, the pen tapping against pierced lips, and the inevitable mutter: “Five more minutes… then I’m rage-quitting art forever.” (She’ll be back at it in ten.)
