I can't believe it's been 9 days since my last check-up. I will be honest, it feels a little longer.
I'm currently working on designing and I'll be going patterning soon. So chances, all of May I may be a bit radio silent.
My birthday is on June 8th, and I have time off then, I'll be around for the first week of June, making little slice-of-life things for Raye and co and maybe even finishing off the rest of the sheets I have XD
Though that goes into my next little side rant. One of the worst things about being a slow drawer and having a bunch of WIPs is that those who speak to me regularly, know I have been taking some art studies a bit more seriously this year. More than I have in previous years. This means that a lot of the work I have done, my style or process has since then changed and how I would approach it would be different.
Now for character sheets, I'm happy to let this slide and ink it as it would because they are used as reference, not something that needs to be 100%. So I'm much more lenient on this.
But for older trades or ones I started last year (that are meant to be "do whenever you can no rush" kind of things) I feel disconnected to already because I feel like I would have approached it much differently now. And I can't find it in my heart to continue something I don't stand behind of but that said, I don't want to waste all the effort I put into it, in particular the background. I may use just the backgrounds for the art fight, if nothing else at least someone would appreciate it even if it's not up to my standards anymore.
Speaking of! I finally made an account https://artfight.net/~RayeMatthews
I have uploaded my OCs (that have refs made) and well, I still haven't decided if I'll join in or spectate this year. It really depends how busy I am around July.
That's all for now
Tell me about you! How are you doing How's life??

I think for me it's more of a personal gripe because it takes me so long that what I would do or approach the image has changed that I no longer feel like I can stand behind the art I was sketching. I am thankful I can use it for art fight while I remake the art for the trades. It's more of a personal frustration and a secret wish that I had more time so the gaps isn't as big haha!
That said, still trudging along, still fighting, still surviving.
