Heya there~
Just wanna do another lil check-in. More updates on:
- the state of my projects & what I plan to work on
- what I’m thinking of working on
- any other updates
- and let any of you all ask open-ended questions you’d like me to answer.
— Projects & Plans —
I finished the sketch comms I opened for a couple months ago. I still plan to open for comms publicly, but not quite yet. I have other projects I want to put focus into first.
One of those projects is the DITD comic. I haven't worked on it in quite a while, and it feels really good to be doing it again. I always feel better when I have a consistent form of paid project to be working on. This big comic is actually easier for me to be doing than a bunch of individual comms, because I'm only working with one person, and the more we work together, the more I understand how to combine our interests so we both like what's going on. Because of this, I might consider doing fewer commissions, but of a higher quality in the future, like animated comms.
Another project I'm starting on is the next animation. I plan to make something with Milachu in a libre outfit, and that's all I'll say for now. My goal for this anim is to keep it limited to just a few loops so I have more time/energy for doing sound effects... and to start the next animation. I'd really like to be making one every month, and I think the key to that is not making them too big.
My work on the PMB comic is on hold for now. I need some time to work on paid projects for a while, and then I will try to settle into a rhythm of working on both drawing and writing projects each week. Maybe each day will have both. Maybe some days will just be for drawing and some for writing. Doing initial sketches (from a blank canvas) is the hardest step for me, because I have to think a lot about how good it will be in the end. However, doing the rest of the drawing work doesn't require as much brain power, because it's just tidying the lines up and adding color. Maybe I could do writing on days when I make those easier parts of the drawings.
— Ideas —
I had another idea for an animation - I could animate the drawings of Mila mouse at the club I made back in 2021. Those were great, and I'd love to get more out of them by adding movement and sounds!
Makes me think about animating other things I've made, like Lantha at the beach, femboy Buttons, and maybe even some of my comics, like Moving In, or GHS.
— General Updates —
The retainer is holding everything in place. It's a little awkward remembering to brush and put the thing back in every day. My goal is to have it in for around 20 hours each day. At the very least, all this brushing I'm doing lately is keeping the cavities away!
In general, I'm feeling pretty good lately. I could do with a bit more organization to my daily routine, and planning ahead which projects I want to finish each week. Lately, I tend to just sit down at my desk and work on whatever I feel like. I often work on paid projects, and that's great, but I never seem to stop. There's no set point when I feel like I can take a break and just play a casual game. Things just happen as they happen. If I'm going to be getting work done each week, I'd at least like it to be pre-planned.
Oh, I've been posting regularly lately! Postybirb has been very helpful to me in that regards; it's a program for posting artwork to a bunch of sites all at once and at scheduled times. My art gets posted automatically, at the time of day I want to post it, even if I'm not around. It's a super useful tool.
— Feedback —
If you have any feedback you’d like to give or questions you’d like answered, feel free to ask. Suggestions, technical stuff, how I do certain things, if I’m okay with something, anything.
