Big March Retrospective + Upcoming Stuff
7 months ago
Goooood day cuties! Hope you are all doing well~ I'll try to keep it as brief as I can (watch me fail miserably XD)
I wanted to start off with the good: I loved creating an opportunity for so many people to have their own characters show up in such a project. I especially loved seeing all the other peeps pointing out and knowing one another. I almost feel like some cuties got to know each other through me and I really can't be happier about that~
Hope you are all excited about the finale coming out tomorrow, and I will make a free bundle on my site as well as some of my channels to see all the images without clutter, text and UI~
Now, unfortunately, the good stuff about this past month... ends here. I will be honest, I hated this month. For the first time working on a long project, I genuinely hated working on it. There were days when I would wake up and struggle to get myself to work on it, getting slower and slower each and every day as I grew more and more tired.
Many times, I thought about abandoning the project entirely, but I wanted to press on to not disappoint you all and to let everyone who participated a chance to be featured. But I had some horrible days. Some of you might already know.
I was very absent on both DMs and servers because I was overworking myself most days and had too little energy to do anything else. It got to a point where, after some days, I had developed physical problems.
I had days of headaches, stress-induced GI (gastrointestinal) problems, and I started to shorten my breath more and more and currently my nails are still sickly bluish from the lack of oxygen. I hated this. I really did. Of course, stress wasn't great, so more bad thoughts kept getting into my mind.
The project overall has gone better than last year if you look at the stats, but the difference is not enough to warrant feeling as bad as I have during it. Not considering donations, but I will always fault myself for it not being as good economically as last year. Still, I don't think it was also all the project's fault.
I got overwhelmed by other stuff (will update on that stuff in the future), as well as probably having some hormonal things going on. Together with seeing the geopolitical scene getting fired up more and more, it was not all good for my head.
But here at TheSigmaArts we keep trudging forwards~ Will I do another project like this... no? At least if I don't plan it out much differently and see there being a lot more interest in stuff like it. I don't want to be back in that mindset at all, so if I do another growth drive, it will be very different. I also feel like I lost many opportunities during this month because of it and I let down many clients, seeing their commissions going much too slow.
Now though, for the exciting stuff coming~ As previously stated, stay tuned for tomorrow's finale~ As you might have guessed from the last few episodes, I had plans for the finale. It took me 3 days to pull it off while keeping it up with everything else, so I really hope you'll like it! Some projects will be revealed soon, and I plan to become more active once again over on Discord.
Speaking of which, I am extremely proud of how the server's been doing~ It's a really awesome place thanks to the wonderful peeps there~ I might be a lil pest in the coming months, but I plan to reach out to many of you wonderful artists and models and VA etc. of the size community, because I think it would be super awesome to have you and for you to be able to express your creations in a nice environment~
So to the 300+ people in my list (I have been taking notes), I'm gonna get cha! >:3
I have yet to talk about and discuss matters of organization with my business consultant and a few technical peeps for changes and expansions of my presence. For the time being, I can say I am planning a useful video showcasing the differences in opportunity, options and fees of over 20 different platforms.
Just a heads-up, I will take the third week of April off to take a nice breather and relax after all that happened this month. But other than that, I hope you are still excited about what's coming next and I will keep you updated with more wonderful things coming. Sorry if this year's March has been a let-down or an annoyance, and sorry to my clients for having been slow on their commissions. Thank you all for your continued support. I hope to be able to give back as much as I receive. 💕💖
