█ Been a little bit since my last update, though tends to happen after focusing on a large project for an extended period time: I just fizzle out and takes a bit to get back into the swing of things. Thankfully it's only a couple of weeks as opposed to months. I'm not sure what the most apt way of putting it would be, but when it comes to the creative process every now and then I put together something extremely grand, and part of me goes "You've put everything you could into this, you can't do it any better." but this isn't the accumulation of a lifetime of work, just a few days; yet, the feeling is still there of creating something in where I feel I won't be able to do better. Of course this isn't true as the difference between the flash I put together last week (http://www.furaffinity.net/view/12581491/) and the one two years ago (http://www.furaffinity.net/view/7237636/) are worlds apart. Either way it might be sometime before another major animation project from me like that, because doing something grander is going to take even more out of me.
█ Speaking of animation stuff, I'm considering adding in animated icons and switching in other characters into my most recent flash as options. Odds are they'd be 1.5 and 3 'commission' slots respectively (or about 35 and 75 dollars). I might also add in the option of doing animation looped based commissions for scenes that lend themselves to being loop-able. There was a period of time where I was doing more animated stuff but then fell out of that practice, probably want to get back into that, and that would probably be 2 commission slots.
I suppose I'd like to hear some feed back on this particular aspect before I post up my "February Commission Request Lineup" journal, which I'll try to be more mindful of in posting a "Taking a break" entry into if my will to art drops off a cliff. That journal will probably appear later today or tomorrow.

FA+

Also the challenge of learning more in between each submission is something that keeps my motivation up.
I don't know in what capacity, but I know I want to commission you sometime in the future. : )
