Well wasn't that just a wacky time, huh???
What a crazy week it's been. We lost control of FA and then FA's twitter got sabotaged. Honestly it was like watching a great catastrophe on late night news. I was keeping up to date with the twitter account because it really does fascinate me how a disturbed individual wakes up, then thinks "Yknow, I got some time on my hand today" and goes to cause a stir. Of course this sent everyone losing their mind, tossing their folders and files in the air, things catching on fire, all that jazz. For me, I just really wanted to get back on FA because I needed a dose of inspiration for art! My only worry was losing my favorite artists' galleries. I was telling a friend how going through old accounts is probably the most fun to do. Seeing how they first started, mentions of "Ive been busy with school!", pictures from their adventures to cons, meeting new friends that would become a big part of their life. All that. I was scared of losing that. (Which is why Im doing this journal thing!)
Either way, what a bum. I don't wanna shed too much light on em because that's their goal; attention.
Im still working on some art, trying to learn new tricks and really getting out there to maybe... spruce up my stuff. I love my art, don't worry, but I think it's time I really try to reel in the big fish. Try anatomy, expressions, poses, and dynamic shots. Maybe even try my hand at backgrounds. Of course, this ain't all gonna be done overnight, just over time.
I do, however, wanna learn animation so I will be doing mostly exercises with animation. Bouncing ball, moving flour bag, swinging pendulum, the usual. It's best to start small than getting ambitious and trying to make a whole animated short in a foreign program. (Clip Studio, God help me)
Another thing I wanna do is draw my fox hanging with some friends of mine! I hate seein em all alone, I need to draw em more with others! So that's one of my missions as well. I could go on and on about what I really want to fix and try but we'll be here all day.
Thanks for stopping by my little journal, see you next entry!

*excited fox noises* x3
Can relate on the old gallery thing. It's always a little sad when an artist who started here gets big on another site and wipes their FA gallery ...
