Looking ahead, career wise, game streaming and art
5 years ago
It has been a while since I have started my path to my career. It has been in need to take a hiatus on it, mostly since not only I require the funds to pay the licensing exams, but also need the time to study and get the necessary hands on experience. Right now, hoping to find a well paying job that will help me grow in my abilities, while being able to study and balance it with my other passions: traveling, gaming and do art. Its still among my fears that I will have to sacrifice one, for the sake of career stability. Funny thing, without being able to give time to my passions, let alone vent out, career stability does NOT equal emotional and psychological stability.
Especially now during the worldwide pandemic quarantine, I have had time to invest on my gaming and artwork. Gaming wise, have been juggling a few games to stream or just solo play. Between PC, PS4 and Switch and mobile games, its been hard to rotate them. Usually, my most depressing moment is when I realize just how lonely it gets when I'm playing on my own. Even the many Discord communities I have joined, its been hard finding a group of friends that would help me in certain game grinding.... or just as much as hoping them just keeping me some company while I play, on or off stream. Pretty much is among the reasons why I tend to stay away from high end content, since, tbh, I really DON'T have friends to play with.
In terms of art, I'm really looking forward to improve it more and more. Hoping to the point I can do comics or manga. Most of what I do is basically try observe other artwork and artists and try to include or adjust my style... until I know I can find my own style and one that I can do even without any references. Still trying not to make solid promises as my main career can pull me away from this. Even considering I have a story series I would love to develop, as an amateur artist (and a humble one), I can only make sure I don't promise to make massive commissions. Gotta start small and adjust. I am looking forward to doing more difference species and body type, eventually some NSFW kinks (particularly fat/beefy furs). Now... also need to figure out more of my graphics tablet and the many features of the softwares. Because I Know I'm not using them to the fullest potential to achieve my own style.
Anyways its pretty much an update of what I've been up to.
