Almost missed this month! You can thank school for that one - and the fact I almost missed posting some form of art this month too
Speaking of school, im nearly done for this semester. As I type this, I have only the final left, which will be next week. Wish me luck, these past few chapters have been a nightmare. Not due to difficulty mind you, but I can't help but feel melancholy when im studying a class called "Lifespan Development" and the last chapters involve the mental and physical decline in old age, ending with a chapter literally entitled "Death and Dying." I know its par for the course and all, but its still a bitter topic to go over. If I ever pursue a degree and/or career in psychology beyond my bachelors, i'm going into child psychology - I think i would vastly prefer helping the younger generation get ready for the future then deal with the dour realities of the end of life on a daily basis.
On a more positive note, im taking the summer off to focus on shoring up finances and to work on weight loss. Not gonna lie, my weight has been fluctuating up and down between a few pounds. I have been eating more fruit and veggies, but exercise is difficult for me to get motivated for. I'm going to try a different tactic - make what exercise I do get (usually from walking our dog) more intense by wearing weights. I got some ideas in mind, and will see how well this works as I go.
Can't promise ill be drawing more or less in the coming months, but ill still give it a try. I have an outline typed up for a certain personal project (the first part of it, anyway) that Im interested in working on. Just gotta find the motivation.
Speaking of art, Im a bit reluctant to open up coms again. The core reason for my reluctance (as it has been in the past, but more so now as i've learned more of possible penalties) is taxes. I haven't a goddamn clue how to file my commission funds for my yearly taxes, or how much I'd have to pay in the case that I do. Its been stressing trying to figure it all out, and I can't very well ask for help from others I know irl cause I don't wanna explain "Yes, I draw borderline porn with furry creatures" to them. I gotta figure something out, the extra finances would be nice but not if it ends up costing me more in the long run due to uncle sam
Been preoccupied with a Monster Hunter Rise as of late. Been fun to play, and its nice to dust off the Switch again. Finding others to play with has been a pickle (mostly due to my reluctance to ask others. Some habits never go away completely I suppose), but ive been having a decent time regardless. Looking forward to RE8 coming out soon, horror game fan that I am - that will likely be my "post-final treat" as it comes out next friday.
One last note before I conclude! The 1000 watcher mark is, as of writing this journal, 20 watchers away! Nearly there!
