In short: hooray, I’m back xD again! And thanks a lot for watching me, new watchers!
To start from art related things.
I told myself I wont update journal until I have another piece finished. So here it is and yes, another big piece is coming, I’m just finishing second character, then background and it’s done(and you can see some wips here https://twitter.com/lehowa_bluari ). I didn’t want to say another “hooray, I’m back” and then go silent after few months again because life. But it’s time to start multitasking and scheduling. Do art on the side of a day job so it can grow to a full time occupation - I finally got that one right! I tried to do the other way around and you can see where I am now.
This year my biggest hold back from art was that I started college, I have one year left so from September I hope I will be able to post some drawings every now and then.
I have happily restored in full my will to do art, I have a few things planned for the closest future. First and foremost I want to switch from big, scarce posts to small, frequent posts(not lesser in quality, just simpler) and I am closing complex commissions(especially traditional ones) indefinitely. It’s just something that takes a lot of time and effort and, in my opinion, the outcomes are not that impressive. Of course my to-do and waiting lists will be cleared as normal. Also if you are a person who ever talked with me about some piece, please get in touch and I will make sure you’re waiting and hoping was not in vain.
I just need to get more efficient with those complex works, so I still will be making them, just the level of pressure with a personal painting is much different than with a commission. I want to do some series that I can later put in a neat artbook and sell, maybe I’ll get back to that ethnic anthros that I was making back when I joined FA. I will make smaller commissions for sure, like sketches, speedpaints, digitals, something that I can complete in max. 2 days and I’m pretty excited about that, you guys have so awesome characters. Eventually I want to do Iron Artist as well and I will post YCHs too.
Finally I have plans for a medium length comic, probably set in a fantasy prehistoric-like setting. Back in the day of wolf comics on DeviantArt I have created some characters and written some ideas, I think it might be a nice practice for something bigger.
But surely the to-do list comes first.
Again, if you are a person who ever talked with me about some commission, please get in touch and I will make sure you’re waiting was not in vain.
Now if you want to know about a random person’s life, read on.
As some of you already know I had a few years of ups and downs and I more or less figured out why. In short, I got out of the two major authorities in a young person’s life. The education system’s, because I graduated and my parents’, because I moved to live on my own, and I found myself free to do everything and anything I wanted. And that’s where I got paralysed. All my demons, that I didn’t really had to face before, went to the surface and instead of living a dream of being in early 20ties and on your own, I was just surviving until the next day. I did some travelling, I had some jobs but for the potentially most productive years of a person’s life, I don’t feel like I’ve done anything. Except sorting out my demons which is better later than ever , I suppose, so I’m trying not to dwell too much on the past. Especially that now I’ve done all of it - I got a permanent job, I have a hobby/dream job to be, I’m in a relationship, I eat my breakfasts and I clean my room(I even fold my underwear before I put it in a drawer and you don’t know how satisfying that is until you try it yourself!). I am bragging about this because what I thought was depression went away about a year ago. Sort out your life at it’s core aspects, take responsibility for what is happening to you – that’s your cure for being a miserable shadow of a human being. It’s sad that I needed to learn this from strangers on YouTube instead of my own family and school.
I probably have already said somewhere that I had problems self motivating. As, it was almost non existing. I would sit at some art and I would get discouraged after half an hour. I don’t have that any more. I just made this whole big drawing feeling engaged some 90% of the time, I haven’t felt this together in a very long time. However I do have a lot of breaks, either my part time job or my partner taking me out for cycling so maybe that’s the trick, to not spend too much time sitting at a desk and not moving any part of the body except for an arm.
I don’t know how to end. I never know how to end journals, have a good day and again thanks for watching and I will get back to art now!
Take care!

No i najważniejsze gdy w życiu się układa :)
Nie mniej, grunt że do przodu i są efekty, u mnie na innych poziomach na pewno ;) A w nowym roku może i przyjdzie moment że artami będę się zajmował już kilka razy w tygodniu.. bo póki co moja fotografia ma wielką ekspansję ;)
