I did it again, didn't I?
5 years ago
The long quiet that I always fall victim to. >~< Don't worry this time the uploadphobia's in check, I always intended to keep this one fairly short, just until I got that christmas stuff out of the way. One month over is honestly a pretty good rate for me on a christmas picture. XD I still got a lot of stuff from last year to get up, but I should be doing most of that in february.
So this is gonna be a bit of a typical update journal from me. I've got a few more changes coming this year and I want to let everyone in on them, starting with...
Schedule!
Yeah this is the big one. I'm going to be forcing myself into the initiative of working more often by giving myself a daily/weekly schedule! ^^ Been testing the waters again and it's been working fine, so here's how it'll go for now:
Monday - Personal projects day. Free reign in a nutshell, I'll be drawing pretty much whatever I want to.
Tuesday - Commissions. The slogan in my head being "Tuesday Duesday." XD I'll work on whatever I can related to ongoing or overdue commissions.
Wednesday - Retro/Repair Day. I'll go into a little bit more about this below, but this one might be a bit jarring - I'm going to be going back and touching up older art that I think needs a literal new coat of paint.
(Ps, this day is the most likely to make the cut for other stuff if it doesn't' go well. Again, more on that below.)
Thursday - Game/Comic Dev Day. Again, a lot more about that below. ^^
Friday - Fursuit/Femsuit Friday. Personal and/or commissions, pretty much anything related to suiting art'll be done here.
Saturday - My day off, I might work on this if I feel up to it but otherwise I'll just play some games, watch some shit, unwind.
Sunday - Awoo. Yeah I bet a lot of you thought you were never gonna see that make the light of day again? >:3 Sunday I'll be working on new stuff for the wolf comic.
Timezones are going to make this a bit tricky, but for the most part the schedule applies to australian days/times. There's enough overlap that I might transition one day into the next. ^^ That's that in a nutshell though, onto...
Retro stuff?
So this pertains to wednesday up there... Wednesday is a day where I'll be going back to older stuff. That might mean stuff I uploaded in 2016, I might recreate some of my older pictures with newer techniques I've learned since? Or I might work on and release some stuff that never made it past the cutting boards from those years? If you're wondering about commissions yes, this is something I'll consider doing for older work if the commissioners don't mind the upgrade? (It's most likely going to be free anyway, this is just for my OCD and training more then anything else. ^^)
But it could also mean... *sigh* Many of you know I have an archive of older stuff. It stretches almost all the way back to 2009 and I'm really not proud of a lot of the stuff there. Despite that it's a lot of unfinished sketches and it's something I keep going back through and retouching. I can't seem to help myself, I want it done, I want it out of my mind... but I also don't want it to dull me or interfere with other things. It's done that in the past until I rage and throw it all out and forget about it again.
Except a funny thing happened towards the end of last year. I went back through some older HDD's I'd kept, and I found something really surprising and lucky - a folder with a lot of those older pictures with their original dates intact. I was terrible at keeping track of that at the time. So for once, finally, I was able to actually order the pictures and stop that folder being a giant amorphous mess! Now the cycle is basically continuing again where I want to go back and work on some of this stuff with a fresh mind. Except this time I'm thinking... upload them?
Yeah, I'm thinking of starting a new series, working title "Classique Nique." ^^ If you don't mind seeing some sometimes truly atrocious art, (at least from my perspective,) I think I can get over my jitters and start uploading them? I know I'm not gonna be able to help myself and I'll be working on that either way, but I'm curious if people wouldn't mind seeing some old crap with the new crap?
Which leads to finally...
Game Dev/Comic?
Thursday up there is another tricky one. I've been fence sitting on this for a long time, but I'll be making a new alt account this year. I really don't want to go back to my old one, I'm still PTSD about a lot of the stuff I worked on there... Just want to let that sit as a time capsule...
But I am making a new one, and as you guessed, it'll be for both a SFW game and comic I'm working on. (Both furry but separate universes, not related. XD) One of them IS something from that old account that people might be very glad to see come back. It started its life as a lot of iterations from a game to a novel to a comic, now it's going back to its roots as a game again. The other is... a new twist on an old thing I never gave any love to... It's gonna be a bit of a passion project and I hope I don't lose that passion again. ^^
I don't know how many people will become re/invested in either yet, I'll be pouring a lot into them so obviously I hope for the best. But unlike above, I will be uploading these either way, just to that new account. May also migrate some art over to there if it's related.
I think that's everything to kick off the year for me. Thanks all if you read this, with everything going on in the world right now I hope you're doing okay, and I sure hope 2020 ends better then it's started.
