boo! and other things ghosties say (update/gen journal)
a month ago
happy friday to those whose schedules are weekend-free based. happy sept 26th to the day Julius Caesar dedicated a temple to his ancestor Venus Genetrix...idk i just needed something that happened today so i grabbed from my historical memory quick facts. i miss college :<
My usual slapdash way of keeping ya'll update sooo leess goo!
-Commissions are closed for Sept. The queue be long and loaded up so as of right now I do not anticipate October slots opening until mid month. I'd love to say earlier but right now I can't until I chip away more on the list.
-As always, check my fa page in October which will update once I see a good date to look for new projects.
-Outstanding commissions are caught up with exception to two, one from June and one from August--you know who you are :3 so if anyone did NOT get their finished commission via discord or gmail PLEASEE speak up! cause my excel sheet says I'm all caught up with waiting peeps :3
-I would love to do a Halloween NF YCH next month. ...just need to get some actual ideas down on paper first >>; If anyone has any suggestions on theme/posing that's Halloween based, hit me up bc my well runneth dry. Open to sfw and nsfw ;)
Which goes into my next point-- I am starting to feel burn out. (Sounds counterintuitive but ychs are fun and help me relax more than the average commission.) Not surprising that I am, but not enjoyable. I'm looking into a short vacation at the END of October which will get me through to my Xmas holiday. My mom's having major surgery at the end of Oct so if I can like...bogo some time off to take care of her and not stress over art, I'd like to do that. I remember in August 2023 and Feb 2024 I hit the wall HARD both times so bad and I'm trying to avoid all that nonsense.
I'd like to get what I can done though, especially my current big project which shall remain a mystery until posting time >3 but im so eager to share with yall.
aaa is that it? NO it is not that's right! I'm slowly getting back into making traditional arts! Most of my supplies survived the dry spell, with exception to my knock off copic/alcohol markers. (No surprise, they were from high school & got me through college. So they hadn't been touched since we moved in '17.) My watercolors/gouche are fine, as are my colored pencils. (Thank god for the microwave trick of saving col pencils.) We used to have an awesome art store that let you test markers on your own paper you brought in, but it closed over covid. (Also holy shit there are masking fluid PENS now my flabbers were gasted I was so excited.)
If you are reading this and you use alcohol/copic markers, whats your favorite brand? I'm looking at mid tier quality mostly, but will consider higher if the cost is worth it and they impress. (I have a small supply of acrylic markers as well, so I'm good there!)
ok I think thats it :> if we are bros on discord and anyone wants to discuss traditional art methods/supplies/etc please hit me up :o
