On Graduation and Anapnea's Bright Future!
8 years ago
Hey all! Well, I did it, more or less. Couple loose ends to tie up, one final exam to take on Thursday, my film screening on Wednesday, and graduation on Friday/Saturday.
But starting this Sunday, that's it bb, I'm done! Degree in my greasy little hands, an official BFA in 3D Animation and German Language. An odd mix to be sure, but it's served me very well so far, and I look forward to the places that will take me, family's opinions be damned.
Here's a few cool things of note that happened over my semester of relative silence:
- I was inducted into Delta Phi Alpha, a German Scholarship/Honours Society
- Finished the tremendous amount of work that was my Thesis Film, with the help of a dozen amazing artists from my school, across the country, and internationally.
- Kept a random guy from bleeding out and dealt with ambulance/police while i was home alone 'cause his roommate two houses down shot him (yknow, nbd i live a quiet life)
- Put a security deposit on a lovely apartment with my mate
hyena-smile, where we're going to be moving on August 1!
I'll be sure to post a password protected link to my film, so everyone who has an interest can see it after my screening day~
My hand has recovered, also! So there'll be no delay in my finishing that last lingering commission for the eternally-patient
and move on to exciting things!
1. I'm going to be revising my ToS. Because it's been a while since I last looked it over. If there are any changes, I'll let y'all know of course. I'm definitely going to be making a ToS that's for SFW/non-fetish images so I can use it on my deviantart, which is my SFW gallery.
2. I'm going to be revising my Commission Prices. There will be new guides for the sake of clarity. Some things will be raised, because my rent at the new apartment I'm moving to is going to be higher than my current rent. This price raise comes with the promise of affordable monochrome "coffeehouse" sketch options and a flow of low-SB YCH's!
3. I'm going to be offering Traditional Commissions. Little known fact, I do a lot of work with ink and watercolour! In the new apartment, I'll have space to set up my scanner and have my own little studio with a light-table, the whole nine yards. Soon as I get that up and running, I'll be able to get good-quality examples up and some prices! I think badges would be a good starting point, but I'll set up an interest check sometime around mid-August.
4. There's going to be new Commission Types -- including comic pages, animatic videos, and illustrations with simple animation (glows, smoke, weather effects, etc)
But baby steps first! Lemme get this busy week outta the way!! There's lots of stuff to be excited about, and I'm so hype to continue my journey with you guys at my back! As always, thanks so much for your continued support! I wish everyone luck with their finals, etc~! <3 <3
