A month into 2019 already?? (Plans and stuff)
6 years ago
Hey everyone! Hope 2019 has been treating you guys decently so far!
Seeing as it’s been literally over a year since the last journal on this account, it’s definitely time to give an update on the plan ahead:
Go Pro, Freelance, or Indie (whichever comes first)!
I’ve always wanted to do any of the above three, but I’ve never really taken the full initiative to get there. Between the small flow of personal work and just online commissions, I’ve kinda been floating around that “semi-pro” level. So I’d like to put more of myself into it than I have before.
For one, I need to put in the time to add new things to my dormant portfolio (necessary for freelance and studio hiring). I also need to hone my current skills and pick up new ones. Fortunately, I have access to a few "industry standard" programs, so I just need to put in the footwork now and reach out of my comfort zone a bit more.
More personal work
Ever since I designated a different account to separate commissions and alternative content from personal work, this one hasn’t gotten a lot of attention over the past few years.
Over the last few months, I’ve been trying to turn that around by narrowing down and planning what stories/series I’d really like to work on. With any luck, I should be able to start showing updates and actual progress more consistently around here between the end of February and beginning of March. Fingers crossed!
Socialize a bit more
I tend to be the type that prefers a lot of "me time" while being content with the small circle of friends I have (and occasionally make). Still, I’d like to be a bit more active in the communities I’m part of; become less of a hermit/lurker, and maybe bump it up to being a recluse or wall flower.
...Can’t wait to back the flip down on that front! V:
There’s more I wanna say and do, but I’ll save them for another journal~
Onward, I guess!

I'll admit, I have missed doing more "general" art.
And thanks, dude!
More activity here definitely sounds cool, looking forward to see more of your characters! ^^
As for losing the lurker status...i know firsthand how hard it is, myself stayed that way until only a few years ago...so...err...best of luck with your class change!
The funny thing is that I used to be pretty social online during my early years. I don't know what happened that made me pull back so hard, but I know it just comes down to passing that "shyness threshold".
