Happy new year!! Well, it’s 2 days into the new decade but I was accumulating a lot of thoughts while making this summary of art for 2019 so here we are hoho.
As far as progress goes, I’m glad I started doing finished things more often!! I feel like I also got a little better, but in a way I’m okay with it because I don’t feel as discontented looking at past art haha. I do feel like I haven’t produced much this year since I’ve been napping a lot. I hope to correct my sleeping habits someday orz I WANT TO COLOR MORE TOO
More below(uncharacteristically long unless you read my awful tags)
This year has me with mixed feelings?? I study in 3D thingies so I spend all my time before a computer clicking away and getting home, I’m just,,, very tired, but I always try to draw a bit because it’s really just straight up fun, although even that still ends up making me tired
I’ve been reflecting on how I use social media and I’ve concluded that I really don’t post a lot(lol), I’ve recently broken through the 300 posts cap and I’ve been here since what? October 2016? All my respects go to y’all who can post daily tbh, you’re the true champs!!(how do you do it, give me your secrets lmao)
Anyways, I’m mostly about fandoms here, mainly otome with some FE, FF, Horror RPGs, seasonal anime and Hypmic sprinkled in once in a blue moon(although I HAVE been playing a lot of switch games recently…) but also I gotta remind myself that all of the content I make isn’t reflected in what I post. Mainly because I think too much before posting so my drafts are like, filled lmao, and tagging is long but that’s my fault because I don’t make that many personal posts so my life updates are powdered in there somewhat. And that’s all without counting the original content I do on the side. I know some people are more comfortable transitioning their pages from only fanart to more oc stuff, but I guess I’m just feeling good as it is, with only my profile pic changing. Oh, but if the day comes I ever do finish something I feel 10% confident in, I guess you’ll have to deal with maybe 2 unannounced post and then back to regular agenda, so that’s not a killer thing I think, maybe it’ll change, but not today, sirᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ
I’m also dangerously close to another milestone so might as well start thinking about a giveaway or raffle of some kindヽ(;^o^ヽ)
Most remarkable thing that happened to me this past year was starting doing cons and opening an online shop. It was amazing seeing my drawings slapped on things and people seeing value in it, and god, all the support I received was enough to make me cry. I also went through my first time where I was anxious about being to pay rent around summer but it all got sorted out thanks to all your help and I’m still so thankful for it. Also encountered the rush that is completing artwork before deadlines and it was death but also very satisfying. I met fantastic people at cons(who convinced me into getting a twitter where i’m still trying to fry my brain enough to not overthink) and I’m hoping to add at least one more convention this coming year. I’ll be sure to send pics this time╭( ･ㅂ･)و ̑̑
I’ve also discovered how fun it was to make merch and I’ve been wondering what to do next. Well, I already have a lot of it down but I’m more ??? about who to get done. I’ve been wanting do to an interest check for a while, but for some reason I keep chickening out. Well, whatever the results may be, rest assured I’ll do my favorites even though they’re constantly at the bottom of popularity polls*insert clown honking here* ALSO SHEFUIHWUIO PRICING COMMISSIONS IS STILL MY NEMESIS, I’m sorry to humanity for being such a dumbass. To tally it up,
Things I’ve lost:
-Desire to College
Things I’ve gained:
-A LOT OF FRIENDS and support and love and-
-An embarrassing amount of Sylvain Jose Gautier merch
That’s it! Forgive me for this long post, I hope you’re still hydrated and take care for the coming year!! I’m painfully aware I haven’t been much of active but I’m trying m(_ _;m)
Anyways,
I love you and I hope you have a good day!!!
