Chapter 45: Big Peeping Tom

Date: September 30th, 2025

"Gotta crap! Gotta crap! Damn it! IM JUST TRYING TO DRAW! WHY CANT I JUST DRAAAAAAWWWWWWWW?!" I race to the bathroom from the art studio we have on base, my cape goes flying and swishing behind me as I rush to the bathroom. I just suddenly had the urge to take a dump right as I sat down at the workspace that I chose for myself to use today. I tried to ignore it at first. So I was able to get the 200 page sketchbook Im trying to fill up, open to a blank page, put a kneaded eraser plus a sharpened pencil with the pink eraser removed and a black marker on the page, and get out my container of different markers. But the moment I got the art tablet out which can only display web pages of artworks posted online as well as screenshots of said thing as well as take pictures of whatever I want and turned it on, my discomfort took a turn for the sudden worst. 15 minutes later, Im back to drawing and my knight charming is seated next to me, wanting to watch me draw and to support my efforts in light of my drawing motivation problem in my other body back on Earth. I already took the time to tell them everything about that entire situation and they did everything they possibly could to make me feel better. So when I puf the kneaded eraser, pencil, and black marker in my left hand and moved around my sketchbook to put it in a position I like more, Herbsalvin said to me: "Hey umm.. what if you drew me again?"

I reply: "I haven't exactly figured out who I wanted to draw next and I fear that it will take a while for me to figure it out. *positions my art tablet in a better spot* These specially designed art tablets were only invented due to my venting about my drawing motivation problem I have going on in my other life. I detailed everything I could at that time, not knowing how muvh worse the problem was going to end up getting over the last 8 days. This art tablet is the ultimate anti-distraction electronic device for use for the purposes of creating art. Dominic told me that if I wanted it, he'd be happy to allow my tablet to also access a in house developed digital art program as well as a writing program. I declined for now and just asked for the guided access feature to be added. Like the one that's on my iPad back on Earth. You can tell how bad my drawing motivation problem is by how much Im getting sidetracked by getting meticulously detailed about something that has been helping me stay focused while drawing instead of constantly getting distracted. I got out all the waterworks earlier.. So.. I think I will draw you again this time. I dont have much experience drawing a living subject rather than a photo of said subject. But at least I'll get a chance to draw you however I want instead of just a front view and a standard pose. There are so many angles and poses that can be used in drawings that it all just makes getting amazingly good at drawing that much more difficult.

Thank you so much for letting me draw you in person, my beautiful.. Im so excited to do this! Maybe I should draw a live subject sometime back on Earth. Maybe that will help me with my problem. But are you sure that you're okay with this? Im going to need you to stay in the same position the entire time and it's going to be at least 2-3 hours until I finish the drawing. Well, about 60-90 minutes for the sketching and linework so once that's done, you can move around again." They blush: "I mind not. I shall position myself however you wish me to be positioned." A few minutes later, I had begun drawing but then, we start hearing voices from my art tablet, the same kind Ive randomly heard come out of my phone back on Earth a few times and just ignored. But things would only get stranger. Suddenly, a pop up appears on the tablet and it took a bit for either of us to notice it. Herbsalvin speaks as I start to finish up the barebones skeletal stick figure of my drawing of them: "Swift, there is something quite strange on that screen.." "Damn it! *looks over* What the hell? Is this some kind of joke? *mutters annoyed* Im trying to draw.. *speaks up again* A pop up is on the screen. It reads: 'please confirm you are at least 18 years of age to access this website'. But the art site my tablet is on mostly has SFW art on it. Including a lot of queer art.. What is with this? *reads more* 'To confirm your age, please click below to go through the age verification process. You will need to present an ID or have a picture taken of you to complete the process.' Nonsense! What a load of crap!
