Can’t say I’ve gotten better at not going dark, I do have my reasons and feel I’ve at least gotten better at bouncing back from taking any absences and keeping myself from complete radio silence.
Made a post about taking my own measures to avoid things like hiatuses or ghosting the hell out. It’s working out a bit so far.
Bare with me a little longer when it comes to all the loose and sketchy works that are posted back to back and its repetitiveness. It’s a little out of my control right now until I finish what I need to do. (Still sitting on a bulk of cleaner and more polished commission work so those will be posted eventually.)
I still try to put out what I can, I complained about quality a lot before. But this year I really didn’t want the quality of pieces to keep me from approaching ideas, characters and having fun with the things I wanted to try. (Because of that I feel 2018 felt more active for me thus far, I stopped worrying & said fuck it. For a while In between it all I drew what I wanted and for the people I wanted to. Even if some of it was not the most stellar thing to look at. It was definitely a bit of fresh air and made all this work feel a little less overwhelming.)
Well, that one hits close to home and something i’m aware of.
As far as producing something of quality -> it’s more or less out of my control for the time being. Needing to do well enough for the sake of maintaining decent enough output that I’m doing enough owed work than I am adding onto it while avoiding or currently running on my own fumes to just get what I can finished.
. Still looking forward to when everything is cleared up, so output and quality being so different becomes a non-issue.
As things are right now: Being able to see what others dislike/get multiple perspectives gives me an idea of the scale + where I should iron out and hyper-focus on at least for the moment to get the more glaring issues with my work out of the way. The feedback serves as a minor band-aid for adjustments I should look into as of right now until I have the time to sit around peacefully to study/practice without the daunting obligation of finishing off the remainder of work I owe.
I still do cherry pick a few, but so far the majority have made a few things very clear to me that most dislike or find off with my work that I haven’t truly considered an issue before.
(An extra note: good chunk have really put me at ease about my own personal complaints that others have actually taken notice of too. Kinda felt I over worried about minor things and exaggerate on how weird/off it was. But good to know I wasn’t too off with my worry, complaints and irritations.)
When it comes to how I draw, is there anything in particular that you don’t like very much or can’t stand that I do? (unintentionally or not)
If so, what about it makes you dislike it so much? (Would be a nice bonus if you have any suggestions, recommendations around improving or avoiding said thing if it’s fixable.)
There’s been some stuff I’ve been festering over, mostly my work in general.
Could use a bit of outside perspectives. Seriously speaking. Looking for dislikes, nothing positive.
Hey, sorry in-advance, the form for colored sketches won’t be going up this month right away.
(I’m still finishing up the last batch so they can be posted before I put the form up for July, so that’s gonna take a few more days.)
For July, Putting more time to chunk through my backlog.
—————————————————
The first week of every month would be when I’m open for commissions to handle rent/bills. The remainder is my backlog and Patreon content.
Monday – Friday (Moving weekends to take care of some Patreon content)
July 5th – 8th (Commission Stream – Colored Sketches) July 9th – 31st (Owed Commissions – Finishing up pieces)
—————————————————
June was hell and falling on my face stability and productivity-wise.
Won’t get much into it (because not sure how without coming off too apologetic or overly hostile.), gonna be back to streaming and trying a few things in the process.
I mostly stated how I’m doing, that If I’m even more silent/stranger than usual you will now know why and I am doing what I can/must to avoid any chance of another unintentional Hiatus.
I’m still working. (Should make a clear as well, getting larger/more expensive commissions off my plate right now.)
(Honestly feeling slightly better after doing a few dumb things. The truck still needs a proper fix/I need to get out more. But I’m alright-ish. Still gonna be rather quiet for a bit longer.)
Images will continue to be posted up like normal when they are done.
