Behind the scenes and merchandise

I'll be working on a graphic trying to explore & explain why my ADHD seemingly gets worse during times like quarantine or summer break, where routine falls away. I've created a new Alien character who will join Pina in future comics, so can't wait to show you that (spoilers / teasers in the sketches). :)
My workplace
I have some family over atm and we are trying to figure out how I can set up a proper working space for me. I'm currently sleeping on the floor and working in the back part of the living room (we only have two rooms - the bedroom where my partner currently has his "work-from-home-quarantine-office" in, and the living room). Just wanted to show you my work place now that it's somewhat clean!

Also, I've been working on an enamel-pin with the Alien for a while and I've decided to finally order some! I've redrawn the design, but would ya'll prefer
A) not hollow or
B) hollow
I'm not entirely sure if I can make hollow work, I'll have to talk to the manufacture, but I could try to make it work!

I can't wait for this! I agree with Michael, the solid one is adorable. >_<
Michael Bullock
I'd say not-hollow - the pin will probably be stronger/more durable that way, and less likely to catch dangly stuff like hair/earrings. Looks cool either way, but the solid one is also more obviously "spacey" to me, a space cadet :)

Lockdown is ridiculously hard, it's because of lockdown and working from home (or at least attempting to work from home) that made me get myself assessed...!! I hope you find a routine and space that works for you! I find the more separate my spaces are the easier it is for me to focus. I was working in the kitchen but I do almost everything in the kitchen so I think I didn't have enough space to separate activities, mentally

I prefer A - not hollow. When I look at B I feel somehow uncomfortable... Like the empty space is not very reassuring 😅. A feels wholesome and supportive. Its a lovely design 😊
Jasper Mainse
Ooooohhh I love how the pin looks, I'd definitely get one when you release it! They both look great, but I like A better - with B I would be terrified that it would get caught on something and get ripped off (it's happened before). 😅
Claire Sheltie
I think A looks better, and would probably be less of a risk for it getting caught and such
Samia Peregrine
A as well, I love it, and do we need to donate extra money for you to get a platform for your bed? 😂
Lisasaur Stormborn
(A)!!!! I like the look of the not hollow one and it would be harder to break!
Alexa
A! Also I love the book collection especially the ADHD books 😂 reminds me of my own bookcase hahaha
Jessica Liu
I like not hollow!
Alexander Awesome
I want the felt plushieeeee
Jesse Sun
Both designs are very beautiful! Going for not hollow for similar reasons as previous commenters (snags on stuff, more likely to break, more likely to run into manufacturing issues, etc).
Ally
I'm also for not hollow, I would be afraid to break it if it were hollow. And I think not hollow looks cuter! (and I love the pin!!)
Leigh Ryder
I love your felted Alien!
Leigh Ryder

Natasha (MetaCookbook)

rat wife
I prefer not hollow— and aahh how cute! I can’t wait!
Kim Acuff Steiner
I'm for not hollow. I had to remove a pin from my bag that had an open space as it kept catching on things!
Danee Struck
Aaaaaa enamel pins!!! I'm joining the chorus for the not hollow ones :)
pamela washington
i think A) not hollow, is the best option! plus you wont have to worry about mishaps with the manufacturer.
Arianny Moraes
not hollow
Natalie Bradley
I like Version A the best - it looks more finished. Both are really cute though!
Krysten
I prefer the not hollow one. Love the design!
Jacob Wilson
Not hollow
Rebecca Weir
Love it! Not hollow for me.
ADHD Alien
Omg you're right haha
April
(This would also make it "PinA" which amuses me mildly)
April
I love the look of the pin. I would vote for A) Not Hollow
The Daybreak System
Not hollow
Liam Spencer
Not hollow.
Emma
I vote for hollow too but love either x
Terrance Smith
Yep, not hollow; hollow would likely catch on things
Terry O'Carroll
My preference is for A, not hollow
Jill
I prefer not hollow
Päivi Butcher
A vote for hollow 😊 I love it!
Helen Tucker
Similar, the hollow looks prettier (just, I love turquoise/teal colours like those you've filled it in with!) but I know I'd find something for it to tangle on or in
Lindsay Suryaatmadja
Tbh hollow is prettier but for someone who's not careful, the hollow can stuck with other stuff (i put pins on my backpack and it tangles with weird shit) 😂
