Year-end plans (and beyond?)
3 years ago
Well, I think the results from the story competition back in May have been up on my front page for long enough. Time to update my journal!
Hey, everyone! It's that time of the year again! 'Tis the season when I do awful humiliating things to all of my friends to show them how much they mean to me! :D If you've been watching my gallery for a while, then you'll be aware that it's sort of a holiday tradition around here for the final two projects of the year to be handing out Christmas gifts to friends, followed by a New Year's Eve recap of the previous year before moving on to the next. This year will be no different, although I wanted to mention that the Christmas project is going to be a bit bigger this year than it has been the previous few. As a result, it's also going to be handled a little differently, too.
This year, I'm giving out presents to a list of 21 friends and associates, whom I feel have really enriched my life throughout 2022. Because Christmas this year falls on a Sunday, the list has been broken up into smaller groups, which will each be getting their gifts on a designated day during the week before Christmas. Beginning on Monday, December 19, and continuing on until Christmas Eve on Saturday, I'll be posting one group of gifts per day-- six groups in total. Look for that next week, because it should be a pretty big celebration!
After that, of course, there will be another year-end recap, posted up on December 31. Beyond that...? Well, January should hopefully slow things down a bit. I will go so far as to say I already do have a few big projects planned to be rolled out a bit later in 2023, and I've also been planting the seeds to hopefully take on a few collaborative projects with other artists as well. So, we'll see how many of those bear fruit. I do want to mention really briefly, though, that a big part of the reason I hadn't updated my journal until now is because life has kind of been shifting for me a little as a result of starting to come out of the pandemic-- professional obligations once again taking priority over my TF art (which is, after all, kind of a hobby at this point). I don't have as much time to focus on TF art as I used to, though I do still try to get at least one TF piece done each month. With enough planning, though, I do still think I'll be able to roll out some bigger things in the new year.
Lastly, I just really want to thank all of you who've enjoyed and supported my artwork here. You guys are big part of the reason I keep going, and I can't tell you all how much I appreciate it. I really hope my work can continue to bring happiness to all of you, in 2023 and beyond. ^^
Happy holidays, everyone!
