February Update
5 years ago
General
Hello everyone!
Been meaning to write up an update journal for a good long while, but every time I only remember to do so when I'm already in bed...
Anyway, I'll do my best do keep you guys up to date from now on!
◊ Personal ◊
I bought Clip Studio Paint for myself in December as a sort of Christmas gift to myself haha~
It's been fun to use so far, but I'm super slow at learning/getting used to new art programmes... So while I'd like to transition over to CSP (I'm currently using Photoshop), it might take me a little while until I'm comfortable enough with it to stop using PS entirely.
I've got friends to help me along the way so I don't have to fumble around too much xD
A friend and I have gotten into the habit of doing daily art study sessions together, which I both really enjoy, and feel is helping a lot~
Can only recommend QuickPose for anyone who wants to brush up on some human anatomy:
https://quickposes.com/en/gestures/timed
I also really got into drawing big buff guys l 3
So far I only really draw (mostly) uncoloured sketches, but expect to see some baras when ever I get around to finishing some personal art lol
Recently I've also feel like going back to doing headworld stuff...I sorta had to abandon it some time after starting my last job around 3 years ago, but now that I'm currently a full time artist, I've been thinking about headworld stuff more often... Will have to see if I have the time to actually do anything with it though. But I hope I do!
◊ Commissions ◊
There'll be some big changes rolling around for commissions in the (possibly) near future!
I'll list them in bullet points so I don't unnecessarily text-wall you guys:
- prices will change from USD to EUR
- prices will be raised (due to this being my main job now, rather than something I do after work)
- will most likely change from sending a paypal.me link to paypal invoices
- new commission types will be added
- some of the current commission types might be removed
- some of the current commission types will be changed (hopefully raised in quality haha)
- will provide more WIPs during the commission process (nothing bad happened to warrant this, I just feel people might appreciate this more)
- might take some cheaper commissions for experimental sample work
These changes will NOT be implemented right after the posting of this journal. I will make both a heads up journal on when I'm about to raise the prices and such, to give you the chance to still get cheaper commissions, and a journal to inform you that the changes are now in effect.
So technically, nobody should be missing anything ; 3
◊ Adoptables ◊
It's been a good long while since I've posted any adopts, even though I sketch quite a few...
But making collab adopts and being a guest artist on friend's events has been so much fun, I want to get back into finishing and posting more adopts~
Maybe I'll also do more collabs, will have to see if anyone's interested in working with me haha
Well that's about everything from me for now I think!
Think I might make these updates a monthly thing, given there's anything to update about lol
Along with other journals like character giftings, commission openings or whatever else I might feel the need to write l 3
If you have any questions or concerns about any of the things in this update or anything else, feel free to comment here or send me a note!
Also for just chatting in general, because I always like hearing from people, how have you guys been?
How's 2021 been treating you so far?
And anyone seen that last Nintendo direct? ; 3
Also feel free to suggest me music and/or videos, I work best while listening to things (drawing in silence is weirdly distracting to me...)
Been struggling to find things to listen to that are both interesting and that I don't already know lol
Thanks for reading (and linking me stuff, if you did <3)
Hope you guys have a great weekend!
