Old daddy gamer is 30 now
4 years ago
Ohai, been a while since I wrote a journal!
Turned 30 two days ago... Oh boi.
Lady began calling old daddy in French slang. I asked if she could add 'gamer' at the end (also I'm still not a father technically, but since she keeps calling the chinchilla her 'daughter' she tells me I'm a father, ahem).
Time to recap' the year:
Since June 2020, basic stuff, Covid Covid yadda-yadda you know the drill. We bought a small garage place for our car because parking in our area is massively tense (I live in the suburbs of Paris for info).
Work has been mostly OK. Paradoxically we got more work than ever since last year.
I was a bit burnt out and pissed back in early 2021 because of that as well.
We got first vaccine shot last weekend. Shoulder hurt for 3 days which is fine. I also had some weird back pain for a day but it went away.
I'm planning on buying a brand new flat soon. My father wants to give me some money for my first purchase and I'm very happy and thankful. It's a lot of luck and I don't want to waste it.
Commission-wise... I'm late.
I'm almost done with the last two ones but the simple thought of my last opening being 8 months ago is very cringy. Fortunately my customers are very nice and let me have some additional time. Considering how complex some pieces were for me (including alts), I guess it's still fine.
I will open slots soon but maybe 3 max because I have a few other things for friends.
On the personal art side, I've not produced that many pieces but I created some OCs I'm quite proud of (I have a full aeromorph ref sheet of a Mirage-2000 if you guys haven't seen it yet). Just gotta put them on paper as they say.
I mostly draw a lot of doodles these days because it's not too stressful considering I'm fucking maniac when it comes to lineart and shading. I'm very impressed with how almost any of them turns out. I'm getting faster and more consistent with each one, even though I wish I could nail proportions right away instead of having to fine tune some areas once or twice.
The best example I can give is the shirt cut meme thing where I drew the 5 sketches in less than two hours, which is pretty good to me.
Hope you guys are having a great toe yourselves. See you atound.
Cheers.
