Hiya everybody! I just wanted to post a small update about where I am and what my plans are going forward. I haven't really posted a journal update in a few months and thats mostly due to a lack of confidence that anything I have to say is particularly interesting. I have a problem with isolating myself a lot and this is a step towards being a bit more involved x3
First and foremost I wanted to apologize for my infrequent uploads over the past few months. Aside from irl stuff i've been dealing with, I've been struggling with a bit of anxiety regarding drawing. I'm not really sure why it is, I have a lot of fun lewd ideas I really want to draw, however I'll randomly get into these moods where picking up my ipad and actually drawing is the most intimidating thing to me, even though I love drawing and want to do more. It's something I've been trying to deal with and for a little bit last month I was doing pretty well, however very recently something happened that sorta caused that wall to pop back up and I've been trying to work through it. It's why i'm so late on this month's YCH and taking so long on my current commission queue x.x so I wanted to apologize to everyone still waiting either on a commission they already paid for or those who were waiting for me to open my queue again. I promise I'll get there soon! And lowkey if any of my artist friends can relate to this I could use some advice on how to push past that anxiety x3
Right now I have three art pieces i'm partially finished with, one being this month's YCH and two others being regular comms. I'll more than likely have the YCH finished and uploaded in a few hours, and then i'll spend tomorrow and possibly Sunday finishing the comms I've already started. Last month's YCH did incredibly well and i'm proud that I was actually able to finish everyone's slot as quick as I did, so i'm going to do my best to do the same for this month's too (especially since with the late upload I'll have less time than normal). My regular queue is pretty short atm too, however i want to wait until it's fully empty before I actually open it up again. I'm aiming towards the end of this month to be fully caught up on everything. Also I want to do more Floof streams! I used to stream pretty late since it was the best time for me however my schedule changed and I've been going to bed much earlier so i've just been too tired to do them at my normal time. I think I know a way to fit in streams it's just gonna take a little bit of discipline on my part x3
Next I wanted to talk about some of the upcoming art pieces I want to do, starting with Puppy Crush! I havent forgotten about it, I still really want to finish it! I have the second page's lineart mostly finished, just the last two panels need the linework finished then I can color it. Once I'm more caught up and have a little more free time I definitely want to finish that series x3 apologies to those who were really excited by the first page, you'll get more soon! I also have plans for more Bluey content! I'm currently working on two more pages for my Big and Little Heeler series i've put out, and later I actually want to do a longer comic similar to Puppy Crush focusing on Bluey and Bandit. That'll be later on as i'm still working out the details and want to finish what I started first, but I think you all will like what I come up with ^^ and finally I've been practicing a little bit more with animation, soooo maybe there'll be some more animations soon we'll see :3
That's about all I wanted to say. I have an subscribestar on my profile if you're interested, but I haven't used it as much as I probably should so you'll only find a few drawings on there that I haven't posted elsewhere. I just haven't felt like I've made anything recently worth putting on there. Once i'm past this little rut and more inspired I'll start making more exclusive pieces for it ^^ Aside from that I also have a telegram chat that I run. I post my art a little bit early there and i'm sometimes around to chat ^^ so if you have telegram and you're interested you can join with this link: https://t.me/+s4G3ChgfQzgzZjIx
Anyways thats enough yapping from this pup. Thanks you all for your support! Look forward to more lewd littles from this lewd little <3
Hope you can overcome the trouble!!! I've had issues like this too with writing. It helps me to just try to create a little bit every day and make it part of my routine/default state. Always be working on a little something without any real goal to ACCOMPLISH anything each day - just fiddle at it and when I'm vibing with it, maybe push further or try to finish it. I know this doesn't really jive with having a commission queue or anything but just remember that mantra: if you don't take care of yourself, you can't take care of others. <3
No matter how you handle it though, I'm positive you have the support of a great community that you've built here. Big reassurances. I'm sure everything you've been working on is fantastic. You're always going to be your own worst critic.
