A bit of an update
4 years ago
I keep saying I was gonna make journals more often, and hey, it's been almost an entire year since the last one! Whoops. Anyway, hello! Figured I should make a more up-to-date journal on things. To be honest, not a whole lot has happened, but I'll put down what comes to mind.

I got my shots earlier, specifically Moderna in April and May. Not a fan of needles, but it wasn't bad. Didn't even feel the 2nd shot. Thankfully all I experienced was a slightly sore arm and was tired enough to sleep half of the day. Of course, still wearing a mask. Admittedly, I kind of like wearing one, even though it can get hot sometimes, especially if you're moving around a lot. Of course I would like to not to wear one, but given the current situation, better safe than sorry.
It's hard to believe it's been more than a year since dad passed. I think about him every day and I seriously miss him. As he told me numerous times, no matter what happens to him, I gotta keep moving forward in life. Unfortunately the pandemic did kind of mess things up, but that ain't gonna stop me.
Birthday's around the corner on September 9th. I'll be the big 3-0. Can't say I feel like I accomplished a lot in my 20s, but it's not too late to improve my life, right?
There's so much I wanna draw, but I can't get it on paper. Still having trouble with perfectionism, not sure what to draw (too many ideas), and in some cases, starting over completely. Something I've thought about doing is filling a sketchbook. Or rather, a "digital sketchbook," which is just a folder. I want to use the Pomodoro Technique to try and curve my habits and not spend too much time sketching. Hoping it works.
As of late, I've been wanting to try different things like comics, pixel art, animation, and even Blender. Gonna focus on drawing, but I know I can branch off to the some of the other things mentioned 'sides Blender. One reason I want to learn Blender is to use it to help with scenery in my artwork, but eventually I do wanna design characters in it too. I'll think of something.
I've been debating on getting a Patreon. Seems like numerous people are getting one regardless of amount of followers and what-not. Of course, if I get one, I'm not doing any paywalling stuff. It'd just be higher resolution drawings. I'm thinking it'd be two tiers: One for general artwork (art that I'd have no problem showing friends and/or family) and another for fetish/nsfw stuff. I'd probably only charge maybe a dollar and two for both tiers respectively. What do you think?
SRB2Kart is fun, addictive, but also frustrating as hell. Basically it's Mario Kart but Sonic, mixed with MUGEN, and it's in a modified Doom Engine. I say MUGEN because while it's mainly Sonic, tons of people create characters, tracks, and mods for the game and there's almost no limit. Character wise, people have created those from other series, original characters, fan characters, memes, the list goes on. Of course what characters get used usually depends on what packs are installed on certain servers if we're talking multiplayer. I remember seeing Titsune's OC on one server.
Oh and check out SRB2 Kart videos on YouTube from creators like CriticalRaien, Hey Come On!, CoralDev, TransCanadaLimited, and many others. They're hilarious. I've even spotted myself in a couple of videos like this one (at 4:20 and 5:48). I pretty much main Wonder Boy, but I did main Mega Man X beforehand (hardly any servers have him though). Before X, it was Ulala from Space Channel 5, even though I never played that game. I do like Ulala though.
If you like kart racers, definitely look into SRB2 Kart.
Think I'll stop here for now. But yeah, I'm doing alright for the most part despite everything. Hopefully things will get better as time goes on. Never know. Take care, and stay safe!
