Too Many Hobbies...

"Let me tell you a sad, sad story..."

////Hello World!!
"Oh, Look. It seems like that WindGuardian fellow didn't die after all."
Yeah, so it looks like my complete silence ended up stretching out for roughly 4 months. Wow...
Did I just need a break from art?
Did life just get busy like usual?
or was I just too lazy like normal?
Honestly it was a pretty solid mix of all of the above ^^;
Although there might be another factor as well...
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
I just might have too many hobbies.
////////////////////////////////////////////////////
I kinda have a tendency to get interested and involved in quite a broad range of stuff. Whether it be live music and anything vinyl related, retro video games and new ones, Japanese anime and animation/movies, sports (okay I guess that one's mostly just Baseball), novice music editing/creating and naive music blogs (which I have also fallen behind on), outdoors recreational fun, and obviously comics and manga. And that doesn't even begin to talk about me as an furry artist and the time and effort spent actually CREATING artwork.
So maybe I should dial back some of my hobbies and just try to focus on specific stuff. I'm fairly certain that would help increase my productivity in whatever I choose to center around...but.......what's the fun in that! :P
Seriously though, as good as narrowing the field might be for me, I do feel like my extremely eclectic tastes and hobbies are one of the things that have really help me develop as an artist and define my work.
I don't know...this is just some random thing I've had on my mind for a while and I wanted to put it down into words to kinda talk myself through it. Not really sure what significance it has to you guys, sorry ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

--Stuff that's actually relevant to y'all----

WOW! I REALLY fell off the face of the Earth for this last dry spell!
I hardly checked FA, ignored Twitter and Facebook, and forgot about the several webcomics I had been following religiously. I've just begun to weave through the thousands of notifications (even if they are just submission notifications) and try to catch up on some webcomics.
This may come as a surprise, but my sketchbook hasn't been completely devoid of action for the past few months.
I have been sketching, admittedly not a lot, but still some.
I even completed a fully colored design piece that's sitting on my laptop at the moment and another that's in the works.
The next MitM page has been in a half-complete state for weeks since my markers ran out of ink...
..But I just bought some new markers yesterday, so that can get finished (finally!)
However, I do really want to try to catch up with several artists on here before I get around to posting stuff, so I'll be in the process of marathoning through stuff in the coming week hopefully. Wish me luck! :D

Well it's hard to believe July is only a few days away (and all the end of the month checks that go with it...), but I hope you'll see much more of me in the coming month than in the previous 6 combined ^^

Yeah, I do tend to kinda cycle through things that I'm more invested in, whether I realize it or not.
Recently it has been catching up on anime shows that have been on my watchlist for too long ^^;
