I updated and organized my wip folder a few days ago so I can more easily see the "to-do" list of art that I need to color before I can post it. and realized "Holy shit, there's almost a hundred things in here, and Ive already backburnered just as many things that Im probably never gonna end up coloring. and some of these have been sitting in this folder for multiple years.... yknow what, fuck this. New project!" And with that an idea was born.
my plan is to color ONE pic a day, EVERY day, regardless of how tired/busy/whatever I am, to COMPLETION, for the month of may. Even if it's just one of my simple little headshot/torso telegram stickers (save those for days when I feel like doing less XD) That will take out a solid third of my to-do list, and then I'll hopefully establish a new normal by the end that I'll be continuing such an endeavor and be able to clear out my wip box significantly.
Cause I really don't wanna post pics up to FA that are either only flat colored or just sketch-work, or flat colored by someone else without me doing anything to them @_@. I mean, I'll make that caveat for COMICS cause comics are a lot of work, but for the rest, I've developed a faster shading method and am good enough, I need to put my snout to the grindstone damnit! Especially with me not working at all due to quarantine until the movie theaters where I work reopen in June at earliest. I should at least make USE of all this free time besides my new from-screatch playthrough of BoTW.
What's the pracitcal benefits to this that YOU will see? Wellllll, if I end up with 30 frieking pics in my "to post" que, I'll almost definitely be upping my posting rate from the normal 2 pics a week to at least 3 for a while XD hehe. Sooooo, look forward to that and encourage meeee! Comment every day on this and badger me about getting a pic done each day this month! XD
I'm still deciding on names XD
