Party at my place!

I'll be doing a birthday stream today at 11am central! Come on over :D

https://www.twitch.tv/thenextgenhero

My god it's been a minute! How are you all doing?

I've been hard at work all month and haven't been able to draw for myself or do much fun stuff, BUT I'm taking a vacation starting tomorrow--no work for me! I'll be focusing on my comic and getting through my gaming backlog! Do you all have plans for June? :)

First thing's first--how are you nice knuckleheads doing? I've been doing good myself, keeping up with exercising and such!

Now I haven't done an art stream in a while--time to change that! This Friday, starting at around 11am-12pm central, I'll be doing a pokesketch collab stream with my best pal Senttos! Tip $20 to my kofi to get a pokemon sketch of your choice from the both of us; throw some money at him as well, he's a good bean!

Now for commissions, I'll be open again on April 10th. 4 slots available; if you'd like to reserve a slot, or have any questions, do let me know!

Hello clowns! How are you nice knuckleheads doing? Things have been wacky for me--my headset stopped working, the wheel of my chair broke to the point where I can't fix it, and I've been trying to cut back on caffeine...the withdrawal symptoms, yikes! But they've calmed down a bit, plus I'm gradually getting better sleep at least :D

Now for commissions, it's been a while since I've opened them! It's time to save up for a bigger and better scanner! My dinky one ain't cutting it anymore lol

Digital prices: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/59336843/

Want traditional art instead? Ask me about options :D

Orrr, if you don't want commissions and just feel like being nice, here's my kofi: https://ko-fi.com/thenextgenhero

So I'll be quite busy next month with the art boss commission, so I don't think I'll be able to take any smaller ones, BUT I'm wondering if anyone would be interested in adoptables I can work on in my free time. If so, what kind of critters would y'all like to see? :0

So I've been wanting to branch out a bit and offer commissions on Vgen--I see a lot of folks use it, but I'm not too familiar with it. Apparently you need to have an invite code for it as well?

Anyone that has Vgen, what's your experience with it? I'm curious!

Dang, I've been slacking with these journals x.x

But hello, clowns! How have you all been doing? And an extra hello to all the new followers! How did you nice knuckleheads find me? :)
What have you all been up to? Gimme some good news!

I've been battling sleeping problems, but hopefully the new medication I got will fix that ;_;

Been also hard at work on commissions and super secret stuff...but I'll be uploading more "for fun" artwork fairly soon--well, after I get my new sketchbook, anyways!

And speaking of commissions, I can fit ONE more slot in! Prices here: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/59336843/

Good lord, haven't made a journal in a minute!

But how's everyone doing?

I've been sick, but I'm finally getting better. I rarely get sick these days, but when I do, dang I go down hard! The doc I saw didn't quite specify what I had, but I was put on some strong antibiotics. They're working well, but they're doing a number on my stomach x.x I only have one pill left though, so I should be good after that and some rest.

Can't wait to get back to work/drawing :D

I will not be taking any more commissions after November 30! So if you want to get a gift for someone for the holidays, between now and the 30th will be the best time to get one!

I'm taking a nice long break in December :D

...I SHOULD be opening them again in a few weeks after I figure out health stuff.

Trying to see if I have hypothyroidism, because that would explain a lot of my problems x.x

In the meantime, how have you goofs been doing lately? :D

Good morning, clowns! I've been asked about commissions, so I've decided to take two at a time(no more art boss for the year, though)--I have two now, so I'll open them back up again when I'm done with these! I'm supposed to be taking a break, so I'll make sure to take it easy with these!

Requests will be put on hold for just a bit!

Hello goofs! Still feeling eh, but I'm hanging in there!

I haven't advertised commissions in a hot minute on here (I've had my hands full), and I'm debating if I should again; I'd like to start saving up for a brand new scanner--a fairly big one, so I can scan larger works. With that said, I'd like to start doing more traditional art as well--I have so much nice supplies in here collecting dust, and I need to fix that! Just need figure out what I'd like to draw.

I have a goal for the new scanner if anyone feels like supporting, though I'd rather do art for folks in return! https://ko-fi.com/thenextgenhero

Unrelated, but soon I'll be trying my hand at resin casting--saw someone else do it and it looks pretty fun! I've grabbed me a little beginner's kit to test out, so we'll see how that goes!

How have you all been doing lately? :)

Hoo boy, haven't made a journal in a minute!

Y'all, bear with me, as I'll be a sad panda for a few weeks since I need an increase on the meds I have now or need something new all together (antidepressants) ;_;

But there's something I've been thinking about--OC content. I've been so busy with art boss stuff--stuff I can't even show yet--that I haven't been able to draw for me too much...but part of me wonders, would anyone be even interested in the OC content/comics/stories I have to show and tell? I used to draw them all the time, but I guess I shied away from that since people prefer seeing fanart from me of already established characters.

Time constraints and a bit of self doubt is wearing me down a bit :c

Oh baby, the triple! Art Boss Commissions have been booked for June, August, and October! I will be taking a very limited amount of normal commissions during these times!

Hello, clowns! Me and my pal best pal Senttos are doing a little event this Saturday at 11am central: The Tip-a-thon Sketch-a-thon! We’ll be chilling and sketching pokemon of our choosing, but if you tip $20 to my ko-fi account, you’ll get a sketch of a pokemon you want from the both of us—what a deal!

https://ko-fi.com/thenextgenhero

Don’t forget, every increment of $100 reached unlocks a new game to 100%. There are three left:
Yooka Laylee and the Impossible Lair
Monster Hunter World
Sonic Adventure 2 battle

Come join the fun on Saturday!

And of course, here is Senttos’ twitch if you want to watch his side:

So I haven't offered traditional art in quite some time, so I've been wondering if I should try again. I'm thinking of starting small:
5in x 7in paper (framed) done in watercolor, colored pencils, markers, or some combination of them.

I'd like to offer those little ACEO cards as well, done in the same mediums, put in a plastic protective sleeve.

Gotta figure out some good prices though, but I'm wondering if anyone had any interest in traditional art these days?

Good morning, clowns! I've been feeling way better lately, so let's do a Spring Sale! 20% off your whole order, and this'll go on until the end of April! Get them savings! 3 Slots open for now!

And no, sadly the sale does not apply to Art Boss lol

Digital Price sheet: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/54779796/

As you've noticed, my lovely Art Boss client had me make one, and hey, they're pretty fun to do! Now these will be for use for the Veadotube Miini program, as I'm not familiar with others...yet!

With that said, here are the prices:

$40 for a flat colored model**

One slot open for now!

As usual let me now if you're interested or have questions :D

Good morning, clowns! Don't forget, I'm doing an art boss commission in March, so I can only take a very limited amount of commissions from others during that time, starting with 2 slots open. Reserve a slot now while you have the chance! :0

Digital commission info: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/54779796/

Traditional: Ask! There's different things I can offer.

Morning, clowns! Gotta make some munz right quick to get some pet stuff, so I'm offering flat colored commissions for $25 instead of $35 baybeee

+$10.50 for an additional character, SFW only!

Let me know if you're interested or have any questions!

Hello, clowns! I'm currently working on two other commissions, but I can take two more! Act fast!

Buy one commission, get a free sketch to go with it 0_0 Only two slots for this!

On the topic of commissions, should I offer traditional art again? Very few people go for it, most prefer digital, so I'm not sure!

I will be taking a VERY limited amount of commissions from others during this time!

Journal Clean Up

Deleted quite a few old/irrelevant journals—nice and tidy!

Goals for the new year

Weight loss! Been struggling with this one for a while, but I’m trying to figure out some sort of schedule to go on so I can try again.

Art: I asked some people what kind of art the would like to see from me this year. To my surprise, quite a few said they’d like to see me draw more Ocs and work on world building. I didn't think anyone would be interested in the stories I have to tell! Time to get to work on them!

Commissions

Doing mostly digital commissions for now, but I think I’ll offer ATCs (2.5 x 3.5 cards) as well, since I have a lot of them!

Digital commission prices:https://www.furaffinity.net/view/54779796/
ATC: $25 for 2: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/44489807/

Twitch

I’m wondering if I should start trying to get to Partner status this year, or just take things nice and slow. My main income is art, but having a second source of income through streaming would be a great help!
Speaking of streaming…

Next week will be friend week; Monday through Friday, I’ll be streaming with friends playing different games! Halo, Super Mario World, Gears of War, and pokemon! Gotta psyche myself up to be this social xD This brings me to the next subject…

https://www.twitch.tv/thenextgenhero

Managers and Assistants?

You know, I’m a bit envious of people who have friends/managers that help them with things. Commissions, scheduling(for streaming and such), bouncing ideas back and forth, and so on. I do most things myself because I’m a hermit and socializing is hard lol, but there are times where I wonder “will I do better if I had a manager or assistant?” Hmmm...

Ko-fi

On the subject of income, support is always appreciated! The tipathon incentive for streaming is still active, and we’re halfway there to 100% the first game! You can find the list of games here:

https://ko-fi.com/thenextgenhero

Throne

If you want to support me in a different way, there’s my throne wishlist! There’s mostly art supplies, pet stuff, and things for streaming that would help me out a bit. And coffee. I love me some coffee.

Wrap Up

I think that about covers all the things I wanted to yap about. But I gotta know—what are YOUR goals and plans for this year? :0

I'm on a roooollllll

How's everyone's new year going? Mine's a bit wacky <_>
