Happy New Year!!! 🎉🎉🎉
8 months ago
Happy New Year everyone!!! Again I don't create journals often but it is new years and I seam to create one every year at this time so let the tradition continue ^^
(and if everything goes right I should have this uploaded at midnight my time just like last few years ^^ )
Things have been slower this year, focused on more IRL stuff then getting commissions (and this will probably continue into the new year) but I did get a few, some are still in progress and I have some that are ready and I still need to post (some are from back in 2023 as well XD), but I have been a bit lazy on that, the older ones are connected to my CYOA story that I still need to write for but I have been having a lot harder time finding the time and energy to write like I use to, some of it is related to me getting back into drawing artwork myself again and as stated in my last year's journal, I did end up managing to do at least 1 artwork project per month as was my goal, though for the future I am just going to go with the flow and develop my personal drawing ideas more fluidly then trying to jerk around ideas for each month, that process did end up creating a lot of unused sketches and linework and such of ideas that I did end up posting sketch dumps of, hoping to minimized the slight waisted effort in that (though it was still good practice none the less). I am still planning on creating a few YCHs, I still have the fantasy adventure one I was planning on last year but I will start with some pinup ideas that I hope to have ready in the next week or two, just massaging the ideas and base lines and putting everything together and I will see if there is interest.
As for some other things, I did go on my theme park trip back in June to Cedar Point and King's Island, as well as Kennywood (side note, very underrated park, Phantom's Revenge to me is the best Hypercoaster I have been on, as well as a lot of really good woodies that are fairly smooth for the age they are) since it was on the way the direction we went (as my friend also wanted to visit Falling Water), King's Island really surprised me as it is my favorite park I have been to with all things considering, sure there are better rides versions at other parks but in the theme of it all, to me it was the best, unfortunately with Cedar Point didn't get there before Top Thrill 2 closed down for the year but we are planning a few trips there this year so hopefully it will get opened back up, in 2026 we are planning to do another big road trip down the east coast-ish USA to hit a lot of park down that side, most notable Six Flags Great Adventure, Hershey Park, King's Dominion and Bush Gardens Williamsburg but that's a topic for a future journal surrounded around this time ^^
Anyways, again sorry for the ramble, don't know how may people will actually read this but Happy New Year and hope everyone has enjoyed the holidays!!! Stay safe out there ^^ 🎉🎉🎉
