Update (8-22-24)
a year ago
Hihi, been a while since a proper update. I've mostly been working quietly, lots of stuff going on behind the scenes right now in terms of game progress--in particular a lot of the boring stuff is almost over with, so you'll get to see more of the fun artwork soon~
In any case, here's what's goin on and coming soon.
Secondary Gallery(ies?)
Next month I will be setting up another gallery~ While FA will remain my main place for the forseeable future, I thought it'd be good to have some other places you can see my work~
In the past I didn't want to do this because I had enough trouble managing all the commissions from FA, and didn't want to balance that with another website, but now that I'm done with those, I see no reason not to. It'll probably be Inkbunny for the first, and then maybe Weasyl as well. I do also post on E621, but I see that as more of a tool for reaching more people than a social place as it were.
Game Progress
PandaCam is scheduled for a Demo release by the end of the year, and I'm currently working on it's full animation artwork~ I'm quite excited about this one, and it'll be a pretty meaty demo as well~
The sketch game is currently approaching the animation phase as well, and I hope to have that out around the same time. It's grown a bit overlong, but I'm hoping that a big complete release will be enticing to people.
Wayward Butterfly is currently on hiatus, but artwork is being done in the background. I've had to retool a lot of things so I've chosen to go quiet on this one. I'll probably shadow drop the update when it's done.
The Queue
The queue is mercifully short now, so I'll be reworking it for the next update. I have no plans to resume commissions so my hope is I can start getting those last few things done.
Art Trades (and being social)
So I haven't done too well at this one. I really wanted this to be the year I did more with other people but it's honestly been a struggle. Rather than dwell on it, starting near the end of next month I'm going to open up to a limited number of simple art trades and free requests. More details will come next month, but if you'd be interested and want to know more, do note or discord message me and I can tell you some more about what I want to do.
I'd also like to do some kind of milestone celebration thing before the end of the year--not sure what. Maybe a group ych or a very limited raffle. With both of these I'm avoiding putting too much strain on myself, so limited is the keyword here.
In any case, thank you so much for all the faves and watches! I blew past so many hundred marks, that 2k Watchers is the next big milestone to hit. I've been doing a lot of different kinds of art lately, and it's been very nice to see the positive responses to all the different styles and content. I feel like I'm in a very experimental phase, and it always worries me to do things differently, but I do feel like it's working out.
As always, thanks so much to everyone who comments, faves, watches, or just takes a look at my work--I really appreciate it!
