2019 Roadmap
7 years ago
General
Yep, just to give some details to what I'm planning in 2019, roughly, without any strict deadlines
>Limited commision runs
Yep, they'll remain closed for the most part, only open up during special occasions. All that other time I'll have sketch requests open though and with some streamlined form to submit if you want to request something. Other than that - expect maybe a few YCHes or something
>Building a community - Stage 1
For quite a long while now I always kinda wanted to build a community around me. Not necessarily around the things I'm doing or anything egoistic, but generally... Just have a community of people that gets along well, has some things in common and sometimes can bitch about some things together. Stage 1 has already started in a small scale with Telegram's art channel functioning and doing fairly well. The goal of Stage 1 is the basics - get enough people to form a chat group, mainly art focused, and a coherent, nicely organized Discord server, especially for when I'm streaming (more on that soon). If all goes well - I might enter the stage 2 and start expanding to other platforms in force. But till then - gotta finish Stage 1 first!
>Streaming - Actually doing it this time
I have said multiple times that I'd stream etc., but only made one stream that was actually a proper stream, so there was that... 2019, I want to actually get to streaming more and properly. Now that I have a new GPU - my PC is more than capable of streaming about anything, the only issue for now... Sound. Gotta iron out the sound issues and I'm good to go, so keep an eye out for streams in 2019!
>Story and all that stuff - Have most of the major characters with complete, detailed backstories
Some of you know me from that angle already... But some don't. Those of you who do - you know how messy my current scribbles about my characters' and world's backstories are. The goal for 2019 is to have them coherently written in a document and published in one way or another, available for anybody to read. Alongside a lot of those a lot of ref sheets and their updates should follow, so stay tuned if you're fan of world building!
>Collabs and art trades - More of them across the board
Do I even need to describe what it's all about? I don't think so!
>SFW vs NSFW - An Act of Balance, 2019 Edition (Maybe Successful This Time)
You might've noticed content droughts on my profile, both in SFW and NSFW arts... Not only caused by simple imbalance between them, but also my personal issues, for example greed or depression accounting into it. For 2019, can't promise that there will be 50-50 split between them, but... I'll try to do my best, also to keep the content flowing all year round rather than entirely die for 2 or more months.
Yea, that should be it, I'll edit this post if I remember anything import that I forgot lol

You can also try joining some already existing communities, but I've noticed it really sucks joining big channels and I always end up getting out of those due to the amount of messages or other reasons. Finding the right sized channels seems to be difficult and creating one from scratch doesn't always work if you don't have the inertia of having enough people there. Hope you find a good solution though.

Other than that, a lot of the subcommunities in furry fandom are poorly moderated, full of degenerates (actual degenerates, like, properly insane people) and quite often toxic to any kind of mild disagreements, so yeah... I simply avoid that entirely, yeah.

M-hm - I've had my fair share of both kind of people. Sometimes it's a good idea to start from scratch.
