A (belated) Happy New Year~ owo Lots of random thoughts.
11 years ago
Hey everyone, hope you had great holidays and stuff~ owo Ours wasn't ideal. Between my grandmother being admitted to hospital (she's still there and doing okay, but for awhile it looked really bad) and some issues with deliveries it was a little crud, but it coulda been worse. On the plus side my hand is doing a lot better lately (touch wood).
So the commissions I took before Christmas were... a learning experience. Frankly I took on more than I could really handle. It wasn't so much the number of commissions but it was the type. I don't think I'll be taking multi-character commissions for awhile, or at least none that involve three or more characters.
I still have two more commissions to finish (apologies for the delay guys) but other than that I'm pretty much done. I've taken about a month to do five, two of which were big multi-character pictures, so that's not too bad by my standards, but I had hoped to get them all done prior to New Years, which was probably expecting a bit much of myself, given all the stuff that was going on. I haven't been able to do much personal art, and just one Christmas picture, even though I would of liked to do more gifts for friends. Ah well! Learning experience. Next time I'll know to take less (or none) in December and focus on November.
I hope to upload more pics here soon, since I have been neglecting it slightly when it comes to regular uploads. I would like to get to the stage where I'm uploading at least one or two (hopefully coloured) things per month. But since I mainly just keep this site for anthro arts, it means some of my derpy video game fanart gets lumped onto my Tumblr instead.
I will try not to neglect either site, though.
I want to keep getting better, but colouring doesn't come naturally to me at all and is a very time consuming thing. I hope to find more ways to do coloured art without spending days on a single piece. More coloured sketches, perhaps~ that way I can get better at it and not waste time on a picture I become unhappy with by the end.
I think I need to upload more Fyxe pics, since Tumblr made that request of me, but I wonder if you guys would wanna see more of other characters too? I tend to default to Fyxe and even just draw her as a different critter if I wanna draw something different, but I do worry that's a bit lazy of me. Obviously even if I did draw more characters, she'd still be the main focus... I was even thinking of doing a new reference picture of her. Not a whole sheet, but something to solidify some minor adjustments over the years.
Lots of blahing, sorry! Thanks for listening, and thanks to commissioners for being patient. My two remaining commissioners will hear from me very soon, apologies for the mini-break I'm taking for a couple of days.

FA+

I tend to draw Cosette (my mouse) a fair amount but I feel like I need a wider "cast" sometimes.
I have the issue of having a nice amount of characters but only draw like...4 of them. A lot of the times I also like surprise drawing other people's characters, keeps me drawing I guess haha. How many more characters do you have besides Cosette and Fyxe?
And yes, there needs to be more Fyxe :3
I think it'd be nice to see more stuff of your own characters too.
