Projects, as of May 2018
7 years ago
Ha! I dare do another journal within the same month again!
In the spirit of becoming more active on an artist's social site, I want to put down a list of projects I'm currently working on. This is, admittedly, mostly for my own benefit. Partly because I like seeing what artists are working on, and feel like I should reciprocate, partly because I don't want to forget, and partly to make a record for myself that I was working on these things even when I was totally without a workshop.
Alright, so the list of things I'm working on, the order based upon how often I return to them, think about them, or how important they seem to me right now.
+Daily practice sketches during my lunch-breaks at work (a good number of which have already been selectively uploaded here, but certainly more will follow). Since they are daily and their subject is literally decided the moment I start, I cannot list what I will work on for this project.
+A yet-untitled novel-length story drawn from the role-play my fiancée and I (and a couple other friends) started on Final Fantasy XIV. This is one of the few pieces of art I actually intend to make NSFW on account of detailed sex and combat
+Another untitled written work, giving a real-life account of what it's like to date and help a person who is transitioning gender from biological male to female, based on my life with my fiancée, Nelly (only mental drafting has yet started)
+Uploading old finished sketches and other art, possibly including wooden pieces, if I find any good pics
+Sketches (part of the dailies) of all my friends on FFXIV and possibly a few from the Furry community
+Nelly and R'atoh (her in-character father) in a family portrait when Nelly's character is a youngling (drafting has not yet started)
+"What I believe In", a presentation of why I call myself 'not religious' - not necessarily atheist, but more agnostically existential nihilist (and that's the short version)
+There's probably a few short stories I don't recall the titles of that may get uploaded soon.
--At this point, the list is mostly projects put on hold, but not abandoned yet--
+A complete digital rendering of Nelly's furry reference sheet
+"Daenil Broken-Paw", a short-story super detailed description of my personal fursona with his mannerisms
+Reference sheet for Daenil (pictorial)
+Creating a CAD model and drawing for a couple whole acoustic guitars - classical and steel-string. Maybe even posting usable plans here.
+"Break-Up Poem", a poem which might not be entirely fictional about the most memorable break-ups I had when I was dating, which I have doubts about finishing
+"The World's Heir", an ambitious novel I started in college, and even in draft form completed NaNoWriMo 2013 despite not being complete. Unfortunately, I have reservations that it will ever be completed because it was too ambitious, and starting to feel childish as I reflect back on it. Bits and pieces may resurface from time to time.
+"Tales From a Furry Cantina", an even more ambitious project which I'm on the verge of trashing which I had originally intended to be a premier for outsiders on the furry fandom and also a multi-perspective anthology on the same murder-mystery. However, the complexity and subject matter make the concept seem almost too cringy for me. I also started making a full set of architectural plans for the central building it takes place in. I might return to that after a while though.
This list looks long (by some standards it is. Believe me that my current employer's project list makes this look like a slow period). However, I don't think of myself as tasked to capacity yet. If someone has a really good idea they want to pitch to me, I might just humor it.
