Hello! Back from the temporary dead caused by the end of my winter semester and its courses... taking a writing course over winter was a mistake D:
I'll get the bad out of the way first since it's quick too, just bought my books for the semester and it was quite a bit of money. So for those who like to see the commissions I get, there's gonna have to be a serious slow-down of what I can get D: (but psst... commissions are open if you'd like to help fund getting more art! ;D https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/8565734/ )
And now for the best news, thanks to https://www.furaffinity.net/user/kumotta, I will finally be getting a tablet! Had enough money left over from getting books that I could finally invest in one, and they offered a great price for an old wacom bamboo (cth670) and I just got it today. Should hopefully ship in by the end of the week, so I can get a nice jump on trades & commissions starting this weekend! Or at least, I'll be able to start using it by then to get used to it haha
Also some potentially good news here, if anyone has heard of the Pokemon Off-White game (https://www.furaffinity.net/view/21003560/ ) before, it was recently announced that production on it would not be continued and it is now dead. Being a long time fan of it (waited over 2 years for the ninetales update that never came D:), I was talking with the original creator for some tips on potentially working a revival of the project, either as is or from the ground-up. This certainly won't be quick or easy in the beginning, and it may be a long time before anything significant results from it (if I can even do it, that's TBD), but it's something on the far horizon to maybe look forward to! Support and help is definitely welcomed if anyone else is interested :D
That's it for now! Am all settled into my dorm for the semester, so I should have a lot more free time to work on art, especially once I get the tablet. Drawing with a mouse in the meantime is pretty tough to get the motivation haha, but I will try to continue working on stuff in the meantime. If anyone has any questions about their commissions/trades etc, we're probably already actively talking and I've mentioned this lmao, so feel free to ask if not!
