Schedule/Con Week Update
7 years ago
Heya; just trying to getting things sorted for the immediate month since it's become a bit distressingly apparent that I've piled in way more things than I can realistically try to complete before I gotta disappear for a con next week.
At this current time I've got about 7 days before I gotta drive, and much as I keep telling myself I can do everything, I gotta stop trying to Superman it for 10-12 hrs a day as of recently and figure that I've probably got a lot less time than that and need to put more down on preparations so I can have a good show and thus hopefully take a bunch of weight off September's needs.
So what I'm gonna do is kinda split work down the middle for this week and the immediate days after I get back, 'cuz I anticipate I'll probably be only half-conscious by the end of each 'con night and not able to really do anything ; learned that lesson last month, haha.
Since I had effectively four fresh assignments of other work tossed my way that I didn't anticipate this last weekend that have to be dealt with quickly, and there's still stuff at home going on, I'm gonna shoot hard to finish off the comms that are currently in their final stage by this weekend, and the others that are still early on I'll work to get to lines, at least. With this month's Patreon pic and another thing, I'll have to settle for lines before I go as well, and postpone flatting/shading on everything else 'til after I get back.
Theoretically this should leave me with room to take care of the other work and get things made for the 'con that haven't really been able to address for the last couple months without collapsing before I slide out. After returning, then I'll reevaluate some things based on 'con results and see where I need to shift the schedule for the September/October comms. I got a little humbled with the last 'con in July's results so I'm gonna be careful with my expectations this time around, but hopefully I should at least break table like before.
WIth that all said, if you happen to be coming to Salt Lake for the 'con next week, send me a note!

Make sure to set aside some time for yourself and, more importantly, take care of yourself.
