Oof. It sure is halfway into 2020 isn't it.

It really has been a rollercoaster of things with the pandemic and attending/following news on the BLM protests, along with some family related stuff going on.
Really does feel like this year has dragged on for far longer than a few months with everything that's happened.

I'm back now though, working on art again.
Missed you all

I have things left from 2019 I need to finish, but this year I think I need to take it easy after I get that all done

I want to be able to relax for a bit without the pressure of working on things, so I'm doing what I can so my living situation is better/not having to worry about money for affording my medication and health costs. I hope this will let me not need to push myself to try to get commissions and such like I have in previous years.

I'm pretty bad at accidentally taking on too much though, which is fine while im feeling good but if I crash it becomes impossible and unfinished things adds to the difficulty getting myself back up, so I'm tentatively thinking I may not take commissions for a while, or limit myself to only taking one at a time? I'm not fully sure yet.

I still want to make a lot of art this year, I'm just figuring out how I can do that best.

I also still have my art discord up,
https://discord.gg/47EcgdX
Where I post everything finished, as well as sketches, doodles, and progress shots.
I also sometimes do requests there.

Halloween has passed but stay spooky y'all.
Gonna finish a few goretober sketches and a commission then it's back to the usual posting.

I also plan for next year to be different in terms of how I do goretober
Instead of a set of 31 themes, it will be more of a mix and match
I'm hoping that makes it a little easier on me to get ideas and complete things.

---

Haven't talked about it too much but I have a Discord server for sketches and things,
as well as taking requests at times. https://discord.gg/47EcgdX

I'll also probably draw something to post about it since idk how many people check journals

---

Anyway,
I don't really have any plans for this month or for the holiday season,
mostly I'd sort of just like to take it easy because of stress and chronic pain has been pretty bad lately
I'll still be open for commissions, as always, just not any special sales.

October is just around the weekend,
it's finally time to get Goretober going!

https://discord.gg/WHFjuCU

Oof.. It's September already?

I got completely burnt out from Artfight and needed some downtime, but I'm back now!
I still have two commissions to finish that I'll be getting done this week,
but I'm feeling rested and ready to finally get back to drawing

In other news, and what I'm excited to talk about is

I have a new Discord server for posting art and chatting with you all!
I plan to be a little more active on there than here, with some fun (and free) benefits for people too

★★ https://discord.gg/47EcgdX ★★

★ I'll be posting work in progress art, as well as small sketches things that wouldn't make it to my gallery on here.
★ There's a suggestions channel where you can give me ideas for things you'd like to see (sfw and nsfw)
★ It's the first place I'll ask for character references if I need some inspiration and wanna do some freebie art.
★ I'm there and you can be my friend

Oh, FA's back up lmao

Eyy so I have a new tablet now!

I needed a new videocard for a while, but as it turns out, the videocard we thought was broken still works perfectly fine?
So instead of having to get one of those AND a new tablet, I sent what I had for the tablet to my sister and she paid the rest since she didn't have to save in case a good sale popped up on a decent videocard.

Which means I can finish the two things I owe, and then be able to spend all the rest of this month on ArtFight.

Foxven Fullbody (60% done)
Renix Halfbody (80% done)

I will still have to pay her back for the rest of the tablet, but it's not anything immediate, so if you wanted something and missed it; the discount commissions WILL return for a short bit near the end of next month so I can make up the rest I owe after a bit of a break.


That all being said now, back to the topic of artfight,
If you're on artfight please please please consider attacking my s/o!
https://artfight.net/~StarfallPrince

They're v sad nobody's been attacking them back even though they've been drawing a lot this year

I have a small backup right now from starfallprince but I really need a new one since mine kicked the bucket
If you can't buy anything, I would also really appreciate people spreading the message.

GOAL : $167 / $340 USD

$22 for busts _{(30% off)}
$40 for halfbody _{(20% off)}
$65 for fullbody _{(15% off)}

I'll do nsfw art, including most kink stuff.
Humans, furries, aliens, whatever.
I can do regular and candy gore.

Queue:
Foxven Fullbody
Renix Halfbody
Mr.Master Bust


You could also donate if you're feeling particularly generous and I would love you forever.

HIGH KICK! YEAH!!
I finally finished some things that were holding me back now I can safely say I'm here to WIN.
No more distractions or guilt about unfinished work, it's time to DRAW.

I'm gonna be on team Dream.
https://artfight.net/~AllegroSky

I'm (mostly) ready for another month of fervent non stop drawing
Wish my wrist luck and also hit me up if you're on Nightmare, I'll decimate you.

Hey kids I did it

stress induced screaming.mp3

I have one commission left for here
Two for a dnd group
Two for a friend.

If I can knock out the first one and one of the second two I'll be good and fine to work on stuff again
Can I get that done in less than a week? Yeah of course. Will my executive dysfunction let me? who knows!
Maybe a hard deadline will finally get me moving in panicked distress!!

8')

ANYWAY I'm gonna be on team Dream.
https://artfight.net/~AllegroSky

I'm (maybe) ready for another month of fervent non stop drawing
Wish my wrist luck and also hit me up if you're on Nightmare, I'll decimate you.

Executive dysfunction just isn't letting me do anything lately.

Some days (like today) I'll get up excited to start things, I feel good because my depression isn't as bad as usual and my body isn't in pain. Things must be good! Then I open what I have to work on and everything sinks. My hands won't move, I'm overwhelmed. I try to pick a spot to start, and pickup some colour to work with, then depression starts to creep in as I realize I'm not getting anywhere.

I try to run through any stepped I missed that would get me back to moving,
Did I forget to eat so my mood is deteriorating? No, that's not it. I took my medication, I have water to stay hydrated, I've seen friends recently, I went outside in the sun yesterday, by all accounts there should be nothing holding me back.

And yet?
Here I am, I fell off schedule almost immediately.
I haven't worked on any personal projects, or commissions, all I've been doing is some pencil sketches.

I tried to work on some commissioned work, despite today not being on schedule for that, because I haven't in over a week, but all that's really done is made me feel guilty that I'm here, with things not done or worked on, unable to function. I guess mostly I'm just saying this because I haven't been active here at all.

I'm doing fine otherwise, so there's nothing to worry about for me, just that I really have nothing to post other than maybe another compilation of traditional stuff. If I can get out of this long enough to finish the work I have, I promise I'll do something nice for all the people here. Maybe some free art giveaway or something similar.

I have a huge urge to do so much art but right now I'm just held back by guilt of not finishing things I suppose.
I'll keep trying to fight this and actually work on something today, I'll keep trying to do my best

Obviously I haven't been following the old schedule that I tired to enforce on myself a while back.

After some thinking, and some changes made due to my partner's work schedule, I'm going to try again. I'm terrible with consistency and keeping a schedule but if I can make some sort of habit of it I feel like things would go so much smoother. Granted, I can't really plan for when my mental illnesses will spring up, but I'll just have to do my best and try not to overwork myself into burnout.

Monday + Thursday: Days off.
Saturday + Sunday: Project stuff.
Tuesday/Wednesday/Friday: Work days.

I'm hoping making two days mandatory to work on Game or Comic stuff will keep things progressing, without falling to the wayside.



That being said, I also really want to get my Patreon going.
I've been working on it and I'm almost ready to go live with it, but I just have a small question first.

What's the best way you like to upload/get your content?

A .zip file? A .pdf??? Just posted as it comes out??
I think I have an organization system, but I'd like to hear what others suggest for large updates?


Also of course, any suggestions for content would be appreciated.

Hey so I've been not around a whole lot, but that doesn't mean I haven't been working on things, so I thought it would be good to let people in on what's going on right now and things to maybe look forward to!


Commissions
I still have a pretty big one that hasn't been finished for a long time that I'm slowly chipping away at.
I'm getting close to finishing though so once that's done I'll finally feel freed up to do more events like themed commission deals and such, maybe some art giveaways. Just fun things for the people who watch me because I really appreciate your support.


Cyril's Masks
Part of a bigger webcomic project of interconnected people and stories all being told in short snippets focused on individuals.
I burned out for a few reasons back in the day but I'm finally coming back to that because it's a project that I've been in love with for quite a while and I want to share the stories and characters with the world. It's still a little on the back burner while I work on other things like the art I owe, but it hasn't been forgotten.
Most of it just needs some touching up, rearranging of panels, then finishing the last three chapters.


I'm making a game!
I've had a friend for like 13 years who's a programmer and we've tried to make stuff in the past but it's all been really ambitious and had other people involved. Now we're just working on it together with a little outside help here and there from other friends and it's going incredibly well.
Without getting too much into the details it's a cute little game and I've been writing for it anytime my wrist is too sore to draw.


My wrist and drawing
Such is life as an artist when you take poor care of your body.
When I can't draw I've been writing, though my wrist is starting to do a little better as I've been wearing a brace when I draw now among other things like icing it and doing stretches for it. The problems come and go but I've been using the computer mouse less because that's been something that really takes a toll.

upsetti.

I have a lot of things half done and personal art I wanna do but I strained my wrist so
guess im just playin videogames for a while

Anybody play PSO2 on Ship 2?

Oh, I'm older.
tbh I didn't even remember until I got a text at midnight from my aunt lmao

Anyway I'm in the middle of friend(?) drama except with a different group now so I'll probably be posting more art bc I have nothing else going on anymore.
This is fine though, nothing as emotionally rattling as last year. Out with the bad, in with copious amounts of self indulgent art and reconnecting to people who actually matter.

A lot happened while I was on my trip, but the short of it is I had a lot of fun and got a much needed vacation

My to-do list is here if anyone is curious of what I have going on,
https://trello.com/b/hRLzBCKz/commissions-trades

I know I said I'd do some ych stuff and other commission things before the trip but I ended up having friends commission me for things to help afford the trip so I'll just be finishing those things before getting back to doing anything special.


Also happy 2019 everyone, I know it's half a month late but I'm really looking forward to this year over the last one.
I just want to let everyone that follows my stuff know that I appreciate all the comments and support I get for what I do, it means a lot to me and helps push me forward even though I don't mention it a lot, so thank you.

I think i finally shoved all my depression into a box and left it in the corner so like whats up im gonna be finishing shit and hopefully get back on track

Me and my partner are also saving up to go see a P!atD bc we need to fly out to actually attend a concert :')
so i'm hopping to clean up my workload and get back to doing commisions real soon and maybe some nsfw stuff to spite the whole tumblr ban on all nsfw content

I'm still kinda crashing hard from getting sick at the start of October and it's honestly really been a struggle trying to get myself to work all month

I'm going to not focus on it for a few days so i can hopefully come back refreshed for the few commissions I have, just going to spend a nice weekend with friends and have monday to just relax
I guess i'll also be extending goretober into november just drawing some free slots because I really wanted to have fun this year and my health both mental and physical just decided to say no. Just kinda draw stuff at my own pace for a bit because so many people left lovely characters and I have so many ideas I want to portray

I'm super bad at communication when i'm in this kind of state so I apologize to people waiting on art from me, I haven't forgotten you, I promise i'll be back to work as soon as I can be

Hello my lovelies, it's that time of year again!
I've revised my list a little and I'm excited to get to the chopping block

_________________________________________________________________

To follow my current work load + Goretober progress, I have Trello!
https://trello.com/b/hRLzBCKz/commissions-trades

Yo wtf happened to august it was like the 1st a few days ago and then it was gone.

I meant to only take a short break but it looks like I ended up being gone for a month. I'm feeling refreshed though, and of course, excited for October! I'm going to be reviewing my Goretober list, and posting up slots to buy a theme starting the last week of September. The 24th, to be exact.

If you liked the last two years and want to get a slot this year, they're going to be $30 usd each.
So keep that in mind if you want to save up~

I have a couple things to work on, but I think for most of September I'm going to just do more art for myself?
I always want to do more personal art, but feel guilty if I'm not done paid work first, and end up blanking when I do finally have time. Commissions are still open of course, but I'm going to try to stick closer to my work schedule of personal art days on the weekend, and a break day Wednesday.

I've also been studying French again on an unrelated note.
Here's hoping I actually stick with it this time around.

I have a commission to work on but otherwise I'm taking a short break from art after going all out with ArtFight
My wrist is a little overworked so I just need to rest for a bit

I had a lot of fun though and I'm glad to be back working on art after having a lot of trouble with motivation for a while

ArtFight starts July 1st!
For those who don't know, ArtFight is a fun competition where artists get sorted into two different teams, then draw art for the other team to win points for their team. Essentially, it's a month of competitive art trades where you give art of other folks' characters and get art of your own characters in return!

https://artfight.net/~AllegroSky

I'm cleaning up a few more things to get my page ready for this year, but I'm really excited for it this time around!

I feel like my art is all over the board when it comes to subject matter, so I'm just kinda curious of what drew people in?
What you're staying for, and what you're hoping to see?

I know I watch a lot of artists just to see everything they put out, so I can understand that, but if you have a preference to the type of art I draw, you can request more of certain things here, whether it's specific characters of mine, nsfw art, certain themes, etc.

Some options are my own characters, atmospheric/scenery art, nsfw things, candy gore, and I suppose pokemon?
Maybe I'll even draw some of my characters with other people's characters?

idk, I'm kinda open to anything,

I'm doing better but I still have my cough from months back when I'm laying down, I assume stress is the only reason it hasn't gone away. I'm not really worried, I figure if things get better so will I. The coughing is pretty minimal at this point, just unfortunate I haven't been well enough to get better.
The stress has been causing me pretty severe pain in my shoulders and back though, which has made drawing... difficult. Doesn't really help my mood either when just existing is uncomfortable/painful depending on the day.

I'd say that's the only reason I haven't been putting out much art aside ych stuff, but to be honest even though I've had a lot of free time to draw my own things, I've lost motivation to?
I have so many ideas and things I want to work on when I'm busy with commissions, but as soon as I have free time I just forget it all and I have no idea what I want to draw, and if I try to just doodle it turns out... sub par. I've dealt with this kind of artblock before but it feels like it's been so long since I haven't had hundreds of things on my to-do list that I don't really remember how to break out of it.

On the other hand it's given me time to play videogames again, so I beat the new God of War which was really good and I'm playing FFIX now.

So there's a local furry con I'll be going to mid summer, and I'm gonna be trying to run an art table for the weekend.

I'd like to finally get a Yonah Zine done for that, among other stuff, but I think a couple of little pokemon prints would do well in that setting? I have my own list of pokemon that I favour, but just throwing this journal up to gauge what ones I should maybe be considering doing some art of as well.

So let me know your favoruites, and ones you see people fawning over frequently!

I'll be keeping the style pretty similar to this one
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/22138038/

Still have one slot open for a commission

Commission Prices + Types:
https://allegrosky.weebly.com/commi.....n-pricing.html
I'm comfortable with clean art, suggestive art, and explicit NSFW art.
This includes most kinks, just ask if you're worried about if I'll draw something.

Slot 1: Taken (Fullbody; background)
Slot 2: [OPEN]

I also have a Ko-Fi if you wanna drop a small donation there.
https://ko-fi.com/allegrosky
It helps support me on a smaller scale than buying a full commission.
