Looking to the New Year
7 years ago
Salutations my Silly Sugar Spiders!
To all my new viewers, welcome to my art page!
To all my returning viewers, welcome back and thank you for your continuing support!
2018 has been a roller coaster of a year:
-Had to move to a new home, twice
-Experienced my first comicon as a vendor. Making it my third official comicon in my time doing art, and a huge learning experience.
-Made many new and wonderful friends
-Got the chance to meet my heroes online and learned new tips and tricks.
-Met the love of my life.
As far as my projects, I have pushed myself harder than I ever have in the past. And while I' both impressed with my rapid progression and the results of what I created:
My Body and my stress levels do not agree. Despite my best efforts, I was unable to push myself any further. So for now I wont be able to do any more art this year as I'm currently trying to rest my sprained hands, deal with back problems, and get myself to relax (feats easier said than done) as well as get a proper nights sleep. Now I know how it feels to be

In addition, this year severely drained me financially. This may force me to jump-start my plans earlier than I would have preferred, but we'll get to that in a bit.
So, what are my plans for 2019?
Well, while nothing is set in stone, a couple months back I submitted a survey asking for feedback on my current work and where I can improve. Based on the results, here's what I'll do effective January 2019
SCHEDULE CHANGES
I'm looking to increasing the number of submissions I do each month. I know one major problem I have is not posting art on a regular basis, so I'm looking to fix that. In addition I need to start submitting art here on FA
MORE FOCUSED CONTENT
Next year I'm looking to make more original content, and work on projects that have been gathering dust over the years. That doesn't mean I won't be doing fanart from time to time :)
Some things you can expect:
-Comics
-Short Stories
-D&D related content
-Original Characters and Worldbuilding
-Some NSFW art (will be kept in a separate gallery)
NEW GALLERIES
While Ive been doing well on DA and Twitter, its high time I extend my reach and look into new sites to post my work. I just hope the current landscape affecting sites like Tumblr, Facebook and YouTube to cause me any trouble.
DIGITAL ART?
While I'm not overly fond of the idea of doing digital art, I cant deny the advantages they have. once my finances are stable I'll look into trying my hand, and speaking of finances...
PATREON/KOFI
I will officially launch a Patreon, at the moment I'm working on rewards and a system, so I'll get to that when the details are fleshed out. I'll also do a Kofi Page if Patreon isn't your thing
COMMISSIONS
I'll be opening commissions in the spring as I get back into doing my artwork, more details to come.
STREAMING
An overwhelming majority support doing streaming sessions, so I'll be researching where and what programs to use. Currently my tech and resources are limited, but I'll do my best.
ART CURRICULUM
Despite my progress, I still have a long way to go before I reach the level of my heroes. And besides, an artist never stop learning and evolving. Right now, since I cant afford an art school, I'm currently setting up a curriculum so I can brush up and improve my skills. Who knows, I may even set up practice streams or put up vids on YouTube to track my progress! We'll see!
Well, take care my friends! Thank you so much and I hope to see you again on the web!
