Monday Update: Timezones, Arting and kicking back!

General
Heya all time for another Monday update!
Whew, last week was pretty killer. Getting back from leave meant that I had a ton of emails in my in box and LOADS of things that needed to be sorted. For the most part this all went off without a hitch, which was good! The downside is from my AWFUL sleep schedule during leave it was like working with perpetual jet lag. That too seems to have passed now and I'm feeling way more energetic this week!
Being back at work means timezones become an issue again though, at least during the week. From time to time I do leave my PC on so if you ping me and don't get an immediate response it's probably late this side of the world. In addition to that I have removed Telegram from my phone(still on my PC!) I was finding it very hard to "turn off" at night, I'm the kind of guy who will check his phone at every ping or alert. So that's for the best I think.
On the art front there are a few developments. Today I posted up a "Best of Inktober" series which are basically handpicked pieces I really liked from last months challenge. The next thing is that I have a fair bit of gift on my plate and I'm putting that into a state of flux. I love drawing some of my watchers OCs and characters, but this means that for that period of time I stop drawing stuff for myself. I have found that this causes me to burnout and fizzle super quick especially when I take on more than I should just out of the excitement of it. So for the moment(apart from one I'm currently busy with) these are on hold and will be slotted in between other works. Additionally I have some traditional art supplies arriving this month so in between the digital works you might encounter some more "old school" stuff.
Apart from that I'm currently kicking back with Street Fighter V and Civilization 6. Soon the new pokemons are out though and I am all aboard that hype train!
Till next time all!
PS - I'm using the goodra again, because I can't make up my damn squeaky mind XD

If you put telegram on your phone again, you can turn off notifications when you need them to be silent. I hate when I forget and somebody pings me in the middle of my "night."
