video | un: furfeathers
[Sometime around the late afternoon on the 25th, the video opens up to an old desk, its surface occupied with a sketchbook with a metal cover (engraved with a butterfly design,) some assorted graphite, a few long-bristled brushes, an ink stick, and an grinding stone/well. A bit of water is put off to the side.
[After a moment, the camera shifts a little, one tentacle reaching for the comm, and adjusts it for a more aerial view while keeping the pages in focus, and another, just in the peripheral view at the top, visible with a singular eye. Until it manages to shift out of frame. Another tentacle opens up the sketchbook, first with a partially-done drawing of a smiling woman. It turns to the next pages at a leisurely rate, between different sketches of a few people he's met in rather detailed (and, to the discerning eye, affectionate) renderings. Between them are different drawings of flowers, insects, the odd yokai, an even a few different ayakashi (such as the minobi.) One thing that's of note, perhaps, is that Glenn seems to use some unique, delicate shading in places to denote a sense of movement, even if the subject itself looks relatively still.
[After a moment, he turns to a blank page and starts to draw anew, the sound turned up enough to pick up the rhythmic scratching of graphite to the paper. After a moment, he speaks up.]
...So, I'm not feeling the most social, even though it's my birthday. But if anyone wants to watch me or chat while I'm drawing for the night, please feel free. If you wish to communicate, please use audio, at least, so long as it's within your comfort zone to do so. It's just easier for me to notice if you speak up rather than message, since, well.
[He turns his head a bit to look at the camera.]
I'm not going to really be looking at the comm.
I estimate I'll be drawing for at least the next four hours before I call it a night.
[He purses his lips, cheeks turning a little ruddy.]
And, um. If anyone enjoys this sort of thing, let me know. I could.. do it more often.
[Not expecting anything, he turns back to the drawing that's rapidly taking shape with careful, practiced movements.]
