News and UpdatesHey, long time, no see. >_<
I know I've been pretty quiet/scarce here... even moreso than dA. Because things have been pretty meh. Trying to keep my deeper personal life out of this, but yeeeeaaaah I've admittedly been pretty down from various not-so-fun things adding up. Besides an attempted Inktober Challenge (posted on dA), I haven't been doing much personal art... which I don't like. But even trying to art for myself (and not for commissions) more is currently difficult.
I will announce that commissions are open once again. They were on hold while I finished up my queue and allowed time for my holiday crafting and etsy rush, so now I am back on track! I'll be noting anyone I may have spoken to while things were on hold. :3
I am also in the process of updating my Commission Info journal and section here, but the most up-to-date (and stylish!) list can be found on my dA [here]. So clickit.
Plans and StuffDid my yearly AWA thing, but had a post-con epiphany about it. To sum it up, it wasn't particularly a good sales year for many artists for some odd reason. o_o; I realized on an individual level, tho, that my tendency to stay away from fanart items (especially plush) probably doesn't help with an anime audience. So I would like to branch out a bit.
I am currently wait-listed for the Dealer's Den at FWA, so hopefully that will be a thing. I figure my better audience is there and it's a con I really did enjoy attending for fun last year. o: But this will allow me to focus on making the kind of plushies I really love making and not have to rely so heavily on inclusion of fanart.
On that note. <_< >_>
There's a chance I may be building a partial fursuit for FWA
I've fallen in love with the idea of a performance character and want to pursue this. My first forays into cosplay were with a Sly Cooper gijinka-like costume, which was fun because I physically acted the part slinking around and perching on things.
I have a character (... one of the ones I really need to post, lol) who's perfect for such a thing. While I can't lie that I'd love a crazy-detailed, work-of-art suit to have and be gorgeous; my most pressing idea is a character to be SILLY AND FUN. I'll have to see if it can happen this year, tho. Cosplay and hobby plans are naturally dictated by funds and time. >_<
Other StuffI guess there's still the matter of new characters I've accidentally been building up by constantly mentioning and not posting, haha. I've actually been exploring a handful of personal OCs in past months... likely due to the ups and downs that seem to be befalling me. :XD: They are not alternate per[/fur]sonas or anything... yet... but they are mostly based on personal aspects of my life. Stories, encounters, places I've lived, hobbies and interests, etc. So they are my very special babies and I'm shy about sharing them. ;_; But I will soon. But be prepared for STORY TIME, lol.
I've been whining about needing to art more and not actually doing it, so it's time to just do it. So yeah.
