State of the Artist (7/28/16)
9 years ago
Hello fellow artists and art lovers! Excuse me while I dust this old spiel, and get you guys ready for FA's first State of the Artist~!
For those who are new to this page, greetings, salutations and welcome Hi!. This is a semi-annual journal post I make about the state of things regarding me, my art, and how it may/may not affect you wonderful people! I did this on my DA page, so I figured I'd do the same here on my FA page. It's a way for me to reach out to you all, give you guys an update about what is going on in my life, and, hopefully, get you guys to reach out to me! I try to post these as often as possible, but if you've been following my post schedule, you already know that you shouldn't hold your breath on my account Sweating a little... !
... No seriously, I can't afford to pay your hospital bills!
Let's get started!
~~~ What Has Been Going On With Me ~~~
Um... well, not a whole lot, really... I'm, unfortunately, back on the job hunt once more. You see, my last job was working at a call center, and if you've ever worked at a call center before, then I don't have to elaborate. :D For those who aren't familiar with such torture, imagine being on a phone for hours on end, talking to people who'd rather cuss you out for a problem someone else created (somtimes the customer), and then expect you to fix it with the same pleasant voice you used to answer said phone. Nope. Had to get out. That being said, I'm quickly reminded about how much the job market sucks currently. So, I'm actively looking for another place to work at, and trying to keep my spirits up. Hopefully I'll find something quick, as there are many things that require my time and attention that require money. I'll give you a hint: they rhyme with "Pills" and "Bar Tote".
That being said, it helps motivate me to accomplish my original dream of getting into game development. I'll post results of that as they come... possibly...
~~~ How About Dat Art, Son!? ~~~
The upside of being in between employment, I have more time to draw, as I'm sure most of you have noticed. :D The Booty Mark Cuties lineup seems to be coming along pretty well. Hopefully, by the end of Summer, I'll have finished them all. Other than that, I have some other things to work on as well, including that 18+ comic that I've been working on on and off, as well as an SFW comic idea that I've been working on for a bit. I'm just about done working out the kinks for that one so that I can begin working on it. Another thing I wanted to work on was some Character Sheets for my OCs, because... well... asking for art trades or requests of them is kinda hard if you don't know what the entire character looks like... And I might get back into recording speed-draws and MAYBE livestreaming again. I'll give it a shot to see how that goes...
~~~ Art That is Currently in Production ~~~
This is a list of artworks I'm currently working on for other people. The list is subject to changing, but it's to give you guys an idea about what I'm working on, and haven't abandoned working on:
+ NSFW Vinyl Scratch comic request -- 4 pages sketched, working on others when I can
+ Request Art for DA user Matthew250 -- sketching
+ Booty Mark Cuties Lineup -- Rarity - got an idea
+ Booty Mark Cuties Lineup -- Twilight Sparkle - got an idea
+ Collab Art with DA user Ullamaliztil -- 50% done - Waiting on colors
+ SFW "Art Beef" with DA user Shadokage -- working on it... no seriously, I'm working on it.
For those who are interested in commissions, art trades, collaborations, requests, be sure to note me the details of each, and we'll discuss the terms of art stuff. :D For a list of my current commission pricing, be sure to check out my Static Post where I'll maintain and update prices and rules as necessary.
~~~ Final Words ~~~
Once again, I'd like to thank my new watchers for liking my work, and the occasional comments I get. I want to encourage you guys to comment more often on the pieces I post, and tell me what about them that you like or not. Is my art heading in a good direction, or do you think I should focus on something else? See something that sticks out that I need to work on, don't be afraid to tell me. I'm a big fan of criticism, especially because it's one of the main reasons I post my stuff online. All I ask is that you be honest, but gentle... ^^; As for my old watchers, you will always have my thanks for sticking with me thus far. It does my heart good to hear from you guys, and not always because you like/dislike something I post. Drop a "hello" in my note box every so often, too. I'm pretty easy to talk with. Well, until next time. I'll speak with you all again in the next State of the Artist!
