So a new year is beginning, so what kind of things did I have in mind going into this new year?
So given a journal I made back in October I suppose this comes as no surprise that this is something I was thinking of doing, but yes I do plan to start doing commissions this year. This does mean that requests will not be a thing going forward outside of special occasions. That said it might be a few weeks before I actually start taking commissions as there are a few things I still need to figure out (how I’m going to process payments, determining how many I take at a time, etc). I’ll probably post a separate journal to get some info to help with that sometime soon.
Also planning to open one of these, not planning to do anything specific with it, but being that I as someone who like to support artists but isn’t big on commissioning them for various reasons; having Patreon or something like it is worth having as an option for people like me.
So if you missed it, last year I did some 3D modeling stuff, while one 3D model thing but whatever. Given I learned such stuff back in college many years ago, and have owned a 3D printer since early 2020 ( actually 2 now but one needs some repair work) this is something that I’ve been wanting to get back into for a bit and i plan to do so. That said don’t expect it to be become a core thing I post it tends to take me much longer than normal drawings if the one I did last year is anything to go by
So given that I probably to some degree fall into the “Macro Artist” camp and I actually had an idea or two that I was thinking about doing as Macro March projects, but the more I think over them; while they feel appropriate, I’m not sure they feel right. Maybe its just one of those things never having done a themed month art thing before so there is some aspect I’m overthinking, but I suppose if anyone has any insight or ideas feel free to share them.
If your curious about the ideas I originally had; one was an image set using my various characters and playing with the joke that giantess pose for landscapes not portraits and various types of photography, while the other was an image series/short comic staring NM and Jamie playing with/explaining some math concepts by way of giantesses. The issue was the first idea feels a little flat and lacking in… something, though not sure what exactly. As for the second, well the idea is sound and I rather like it, there are a few issues that bother me a bit (the math concepts in question result in a size leap from country/continent sized to universe sized, also it feels more ‘Math Geek’ than ‘Macro’ in a few ways) and is kind of ballooning in scope the more I think about it.
So i tried this a bit last year and i kind of liked it but with the response it occured to me i didn't really have any info on my characters personalities overall (much loose the sort of Cannon/setting they are in) so i'm planning to do a sort of intro sheet to them and after that i'll give the concept another shot

Commissions

3D stuff

Ask My Characters
