16 Years on FA

There is a thing called "Sweet 16". I guess its some kind of celebration of one kind of coming-of-age milepost in life. I know I didn't get one, but that's neither here nor there--I didn't lose any sleep over it.
Not too long ago, I became aware that my join date on FA occurred 16 years ago on December 12, 2005. That's....pretty long ago so far as current year majority is concerned. Despite all its missteps over the years, I'm pretty glad I have this place to post my stuff., and even moreso that I have the audience that I do. I'm not on any other platform--most all mainstream social-media is either a bottomless time-sink, or a glowing nuclear murder-hornet dumpster fire. And they all blow donkey unit as art galleries.
Originally when I became aware of this "anniversary" I wanted to post a celebratory pic with my entire OC roster. But, some of the characters that would be included have not yet been formally introduced as full members of the group via the comic I'm working on right now. That effort contracted to a single pic with one character marking the occasion using a cupcake done up like a miniature birthday cake. Even that idea missed the date owing to limited free time during the weekend. As anyone who has read my art-status journal, I've been stuck working an evening tour 11a-7p for the past few years, and add an hour-long commute to both ends. So you get a journal :D
Maybe by my 20-year anniversary I'll be able to put all my OC's together in one pic. I'll start planning for that one now...my 100,000 pageview milestone is much farther away...unless I become some kind of accomplished pornomancer XD.
What's in the future for me artistically?
--Commissions: I plan to resume taking them once the new characters make their debut in What, me Furry?. The reason being that the new additions may well inspire new subject matter ideas for future commissions. Also, their interactions with my existing OC's will give a clearer picture of how they think and socialize, which in turn can open opportunities with like-minded OC's of other creators to cross paths with them, subject to the interest of their owners.
--More artwork: Naturally. In conjunction with the comic, still pics and image sequences. Once I reach the point where all of my OC's have made apperances in the comic and have properly intermixed with the existing roster, I expect the quantity of time devoted to the comic to subside in favor of stuff I haven't been doing over the past year.
