Hi!
Long time no see!! :D
So, if anybody is curious/wondering what's been going on with me lately since I've posted the last journal - life's been busy!
I got the job at the studio I mentioned! YAY!
They finally got me on board at the end of April, and so I've been busy getting accustomed to the schedule, environment and workflow... It's a pretty exciting change of pace for my life for sure!
The pay isn't great yet, since I'm just learning the ropes, but it will be enough for me to survive without having to take on new commissions for a while, which is cool because I want to give proper attention to everything I still owe to people :)
At the same time, the project I've vaguely alluded to in the previous journal was revealed since then, and then it picked up pace big time! It's a Minecraft Youtuber fandom-related thing - a card game, to be more specific - and I posted about it on my Twitter page, and even shared some art https://twitter.com/PillowDash
I'm writing about it a bit late here, because the preorders on this end in like two days, but
Still, it's been in the works for some time, and now me and a couple of other lovely artists are working hard on finishing up everything that still needs polish! Last couple of weeks my schedule has pretty much been: wake up, go to work, come back from work and sit down to work on the card game till I have to sleep
It unfortunately left me with no time at all to get further with commissions (the only things I was able to get done were some of the sketch comms that I managed to work on during lunch breaks at the studio)
I've decided I won't be taking new "big comms" until I'm done with the current ones. After I finish everything for the card game project (the final deadline for which is in the second half of May), I'll start dedicate my free time to comms in my queue again, and I'll try to be as productive as possible with it, to not draw anything out to like the end of the summer or something ^^>"
Whoever's reading my rambling - I hope you guys are doing alright! And if not, that things get better for you soon!
Thank you for sticking around, and I'll post more once I have a little bit of time on my hands again TwT
Cheers!

Jokes aside, YEAH, unfortunately I signed NDAs about not sharing any production-related materials, so I won't be showing anything off, necessarily... However, I think I'd like to start doing a bit of animation in my spare time here and there in the future, and apply the knowledge I'm getting from the job ^^>"
We'll see if I'll have enough energy for interesting projects after these crazy and busy months, but I'd be happy to share this kind of stuff
Thunder snail :D lol
