2019 Goals In Art

Blah blah standard new year's journal, innit? LET'S JUST JUMP INTO IT~

It's been a slow year for me... not unexpected, but definitely my public-facing art took a turn for the slow, slow SLOOOW. I think I managed about 1.3 submissions per month. It feels bad to be doing so much behind the scenes that I can't show off, but I don't want to promise too much just to end up disappointing.

As of my last submission, the Katu species is finally getting some sunlight - you'll definitely see more about them, but they're far from the only new species I'm working on. Fun fact: if anyone remembers The OuterWorld, these birds created the species of the main character from that game, who have also seen some big design updates. And they just might have some connection to the familiars, as well~

I know the fetish stuff is what everyone's mostly here for, and I'm not quitting that (lol heck no; my own art is 80% of the best fap material I have!) but I do hope the SFW direction will be interesting to everyone. I'm always so inspired by science fiction universes and the ideas they present, and I really hope to make something that can stand up alongside my favorite ones! I think a game has always been my goal with all this, and it's high time I graduated from repeatedly tweaking character designs and ref building, into actually DOING something with it all. I'm no expert artist or storyteller but I want to make bigger and better things. Again, I don't want to promise too much and fail to deliver, but when the time is right I'll start showing stuff.

So, with the new year my main art-related goals are:

-I really want to set my 'familiars' universe straight as I work out the story of the game I'm working on. There's a ton of character design and worldbuilding to do but I hope to make a galaxy full of interesting stuff people want to get to know about, and not just some set dressing for my pseudo-immortal furry glowsticks to play around with.

-Start going public with some of that world-building and at least a few of the species. I'm hoping to make them all open species, and I'd like to properly come out with all the details. Because this isn't all just for me. This is a community, not just a screen with pretty pictures on it. And if someone else likes my toybox, I say hop in~

-I'd like to get a really good grasp of the Unreal engine and get at least a solid prototype of the game going. I'm not in a hurry right now to nail anything down, just trying to figure out the engine and find the fun, and build the core of the game on that. I have a general idea where I'm steering this thing but I'm not going to let myself get hung up on specifics. This will not be a short or easy project, but I also don't want to let the scope of it get away from me.

Sorry if this is super long-winded and ranty and weird. I dunno, this journal's as much for me as it is for anyone else. Something to look back at and re-center myself if I get lost along the way. Honestly, realizing that a year ago today is when I first posted Desmond, it really hit me just how much has happened. It's been a long year, even if I've been more quiet throughout it. The job really has been a blessing for me, and I hope it continues to be that way this year. I know it means far fewer commissions and so much less quality fap material but we'll survive somehow~

2019 could be a very interesting year. But as always, we have to be the ones to make it that way~

Game? Which game is this? The WOFD collaboration you have going on Discord or something else entirely?

Happy new years btw :D

This is something of my own, actually! Finally making use of my characters and universe~

The WOFD game is kinda on hiatus, letting Ben figure things out with his life and all ^^
