Old Art Uploads Complete (for now).
3 months ago
Finally, I have finished my long journey of uploading all my old art collections!
For now. My goal was to stop at 2020, any art after is relatively new, I'd feel strange calling them "old" for the time being. Eventually those newer artworks will be old and I can collect them as such but for now I can move on.
You would think it'd be easy--collect a bunch of art, stuff them in a large layout, upload them, call it a day. Boy, did it takes so long and so much of my focus. I had to dig out all my old artwork (which consisted of many sketchbooks, folders, paintings, large carry cases, college work, etc.), take photos (I don't have a scanner) of every single piece and organize them all (by year) into new art portfolios. After that part I had to then upload them to my laptop, pick out the best pictures of each piece and then edit them for clean up/brightness/sizing. Once the edits where completed I then could piece them into orderly fashion, similar to putting puzzle pieces together, in a large layout (but not TOO large, or else loading the thing would be horrible. That's why I have so many.).
And that's just the traditional artwork part. I had to, also, work with my digital art. I didn't have to take pictures at least, I did have to edit or censor pieces as necessary and tackle organizing them all the same. This entire process took days and weeks of my time (Keep in my mind I also work an overnight job). I did this starting with 2002 to 2019. 17 years of my artwork. And that's not even 100% of it, many pieces I could not include due to adult or gore themes (I want to keep this gallery rated General for reasons).
I thank my watchers for putting up with my collection uploads in their submission boxes! I know it was a LOT.
So, what about 2020? What about the last few years?
I do not plan to upload them in collections at this time. I plan to upload just the best pieces from the last few years, maybe keeping them in the 2020+ sub folder?, so they can have their spotlight.
P.S. I am currently juggling folders around in my gallery. I will probably, in the future, condense my "By Year" folders.
Thank you for reading~!
