Follow the spinning ⭐ (inhale, 2, 3, 4; hold, 2, 3, 4; exhale, 2, 3, 4; hold, 2, 3, 4) to box-breathe through the chaos.
See you on the other side of Tuesday.

[The End, 4/6] Step 1: binge Maya and the Three (bows to @mexopolis ). Step 2: learn about Midjourney. Step 3: feel the slow approach of irrelevance. A great space from which to design a cosmic goddess of death.

The second-to-last in sequence I finished after a lot of false starts, a.k.a. why I present this series which started in ~2019 to you now.

Your triumph over Jürgoth leads you to The End – a theoretical index of conceptual pillars required to instantiate and destroy universes. Your first adversary greets you.
(Shameless: As a birthday gift to me, like and share any of your favorites, please! My decrepit, unsound bones thank you.)

[6/6] Final boss of The Fifth Force. Why the emergent theme of this group was "conspicuous helmets," I don't know. At this point I'd figured out the ending of the whole series, and was confident I knew how to take us there (this was roughly the start of 2021).

[The Fifth Force 5/6] This one looked a lot different in pencil and I didn't like where it was going. Then news of MF Doom's passing hit the internet and he snapped into focus as a small tribute. Sometimes drawing lil guys helps muddle through.

[The Fifth Force 3/6] This was the part of the pandemic where we were all binging the new She-Ra (we were all doing that, yes?). And I'd maybe only just learned about the Curvature tool/cursed the gods for not reading manuals/release notes.

[The Fifth Force 2/6] Pass through the Gate and face the first of three sisters, the Arch-Arachnid!!!
(The way these characters are created is about 500% different from how I'd do it if I were to start fresh. But this was part of a push to #finisheverything, and so I used the same techniques I had at my disposal in ~2015 to make them, when I began the project. Stupid? Yes. Fulfilling? Not necessarily!)
