So I'm back
10 years ago
Okay, so I know I’ve been like, super MIA over the past few months so I thought I’d explain myself for that a bit.
As some of you may know or remember, I went to Katsucon in DC back in February for the first time as a vendor. To keep this story short and sweet, I bombed hard. Not a single print sold, and hilariously, yet mildly annoying, my inspirations, the artists I follow and try to absorb the most from in my art, got more compliments from people looking through my stuff than I did. While complimentary because it means I’m getting it right, it was a little frustrating. But it was also my first time, so I wasn’t going to know how to do everything or expecting to succeed really. The deck was kinda stacked against me, both in placement and in circumstance given the wild shit that happened to me the weeks leading up to the con.
Suffice to say, I still took it pretty hard. Did I learn some things? Yes. Will I go back? Absolutely. Am I still hurt and really confused? Yeah, but I’ll grow, so it’s chill.
All of those things having been said, I finally feel like I can draw again, so I’ve been doing that more and more often, trying to focus more on my OCs because I want others to like them at least kinda as much as I do. Really any draws I can squeeze in between work and getting home and wanting to relax is worth it to be honest. I’ve got some things I’m working on right now, an art pack hopefully finished by May, tons of birthday art coming up, general fanart for my inspirations for helping me in their own special little ways, a couple YCHs planned, all kinds of jazz really.
Over the next few days, I’ve also got to start posting the backlog of work I’ve made in the months before and since Katsucon, there’s been quite a few things that I haven’t shown off yet, and I want people to see them!
Anyway, sorry for the long rant, just gonna make up for lost time now. Thanks!
