Too damn hot
a year ago
General
Hope everyone is staying safe from the heat this past week and going forward. I've been caught between two intensive summer courses, trying to push through the May opening I had and some earlier works, and this awful weather.
The sole good news is that I think I've only got a week and a half of these classes left for summer! Then I can return to focusing on stuff until late August when my fall semester begins. I've felt genuinely awful about how little work I've been able to squeeze into each week this summer, I was supposed to have everything done by now, but it is what it is and I'll be pushing as hard as I can to finish things out after the 17th. Taking a science class in the summer has been brutal, but at least it's getting done fast. I've been going 40+ hour weeks of just schoolwork for four weeks now with little to no break and I'm ready to have a weekend again... I've finally got a graduation eta after floundering through college for far too long, end of 2025. It'll be nice to focus solely on making art and learning things like 3D at a more sustainable pace alongside my 2D works.
Despite it all, I've been pecking at pen sketches through June, which you can now see for $1 on my Patreon if you're interested! There's 19 pieces in the newest sketchbook since I was attempting a page of doodles per day in June until I couldn't get in the time for it. It was a very fun experiment though, and one I will try to put more into when I'm back to a less hectic schedule again. That said the usual sketchbook amounts lately have been in the 5-7 sketches range, so right now the Patreon is more or less a tip jar instead of something I've been able to put a lot of effort into. I'm heavily behind on the wyvern tier rewards, though I'll be sending out probably a large dump of backlog sketches through August and into September.
Speaking of September, I've been accepted into the artist alley for Another Furry Con 2024. I'm not 100% sure I'll be able to actually do this con still despite it being so close though, but I would love to see it's first year and hope to solidify my plans for it soon. I'll post a journal once those are able to be hammered out more.
Those looking for commission openings should expect small openings near the end of the month as I finish out the current queue. Ideally I'll be open for a normal batch of them around late August once I've caught up on the Patron sketch backlog more.
That's all from me though, stay safe and cool everyone.
