An update or something.
Posted 10 years agoGreetings fellow lifeforms, I feel like making a journal.
So... 200+ watchers and over 1,000 favorites I think that's a milestone worth noting. I thank each of you who've taken an interest in my fairly niche artwork. I mean not everyone is looking for round pony bellies.
I've been collecting them for a while now. So far these have been a good experience, no one has been rude and no one has pestered me about waiting, so that's great. I have a fair number of them at the moment, but I don't have a particular queue, I just do them in order of interest, I don't want to dread doing requests, so wait times definitely vary. I might blow through a bunch of them at some point if I find a way to produce some decent results in a timely manner.
I keep the request list hosted on Trello, so I was thinking of making it public, I could even enable voting of ideas to maybe help prioritize what everyone wants to see. My only concern is that I keep names and a quote of the note, so I don't know that everyone wants their exact request made public. I could create a separate public Trello board and anonymize each request, which I would think address the issue. I'd like to hear what everyone else thinks about the idea.
I've been looking into creating some interactive content perhaps even a game surrounding the content I post. I was looking into Flash so it could be embedded into FA, but that somewhat limits me and I don't really like Flash to begin with. I could make an application which pretty much gives me limitless choices, but that's not nearly as accessible. My last choice, which I'm looking into now is writing something in Javascript with html5, I could host it somewhere and... I'm rambling now. I guess I'll post a separate update if I make any progress with that. :p
I think that's about it for now.

Hello
Posted 10 years agoHi all, just wanted to provide an update on what I'm doing since I haven't done that. I'd also like to thank everyone who has watched me and takes interest in what I do, you all motivate me to keep posting. Everyone who has contacted me has been pretty nice and understanding, so I appreciate that.
So it's been a little quieter here for the last month or two. I certainly haven't gone anywhere, I've just been doing other things instead of posting art here, but that might change a little bit. By the magic of 'Time Management' I find I can do multiple things throughout the day more effectively. With that said I have some artwork I'll be uploading soon, this includes a couple requests, an animation (nothing like hand drawn frame by frame animation, although very tedious), and some sketches I did today while sleep deprived; I think drawing is easier while very tired. I'll get the first of this out after I get some sleep. :p
I think that's it, I may update this if I forgot something....
