This journal is going to be a little bit of everything, so strap in!
ART THINGS
I've been doing a lot of thinking on this and going back and forth on it, but I believe I've come to a decision on what I want out of my art. I'll make a more dedicated announcement about this later, but I think I'll be an exclusively dragon/scaly artist. I just get more enjoyment from drawing dragons and I don't want to disappoint anyone with mammalian OCs with something I personally feel is sub-par in comparison. Now this isn't to say I won't take on other species like canines, felines, etc. ever again. They will just be exclusive to YCHs or special openings when I feel like I can adequately deliver something I'll be happy with. Regardless of this decision, I hope you all will still stick with me through this journey ^^
After I get through my remaining commissions, I'd like to put up some Halloween-themed adopts! I've been quietly working on a big base pack in the background and this is the perfect excuse to try it out and get some character designs out of my noggin and into the world. So if adopts are your thing, keep an eye out next month!
Lastly, as far as commission openings go, I'm going to try to open one more time before the end of the year, but I can't make any promises. I'd like to spend next year doing some more personal art and YCHs. I've just got too many ideas I want to do, but not enough time to do them right now.
IRL THINGS
So we thought Faf would be going back to shift work at the end of October, but that isn't the case. He could be staying on a M-F schedule for possibly another year. Which means my schedule will be roughly the same since I work at home while he is out. Needless to say, we're both a little disappointed by that. But it's only temporary until he gets his certifications. After that, he can go back to shift work and I can go back to my rotating schedule for my work. We're both eager to get back to "normal" for us XD
The end of the year is still looking pretty packed for me, still gearing up to travel to a friend's wedding at the end of next month and hopefully I'll have some good stories to tell after that! Family travel is still up in the air for either Thanksgiving or Christmas, but hopefully we can figure that out soon.
Outside of that, I'm still juggling between commission work and house renovations. Work on our game room has finally started! So there is possibility for some new things in the future that I might be involved in regarding tabletop gaming! But I don't want to spoil anything yet >.>
Hope everyone has been doing well since the last journal!

Taking time to use your artistic ability for yourself though is great, so looking forward to all the things you get up to! And will jump on any of the opportunities that do come up :3c fehehe.
Unfortunate that you both aren't back to get to a semblance of 'normal' in terms of work quite yet, though that being 'shift' work is a bit interesting XD always hated having rotating days personally/like the consistency of a '9 to 5 with weekends off', but, all down to preference so just hope you both can get back to what you like after this NEXt year of not having it!
sounds like a lot of fun family events too! Hope that all goes welll! :3
And table top you say? Now that's VERY intriguing for sure :3c feheh.
Been doing alright! keeping busy XD glad you both are keeping on as well! Very good stuff all around :3.
