Okay... hard to believe, but soon it will be the halfway point for 2015... time does fly by... cept when it was April and February... those days seem to dragged for a bit...
And SO far, no commission work or new video work for me... yet... had a huge tax break and surprise bonus in my last week's paycheck... but I still have to be sensible about what I spend with it. Which I why I am trying to hone my talents... without the preparation and exhausting aftermath of my dayjob, my chores around the house, errands across town, time with family and friends, those special events and holidays that just pop up, and my own casual free/fun time in general, games and shows and ect...
And so far my most decent talent is... doodling... inking and coloring, let alone video editing, have become of an chore I can't seem to get around too (not enough time for it listed above)... knowledge of certain obscure animated films and shows.... that they existed... Writing.... in most cases, writing scripts for short one shot-comics based on establish work, company owned and user owned, that I commission other artists to draw... and THAT itself has gotten harder to do as many of my usual artists seem rather backlogged, closed for the job, or too expansive to cover... which got me thinking...
Think anyone would pay someone on patreon to pay other aritsts to draw what he wants? It sounds something from South Park's parody of Kickstater, just giving away money for people to do nothing, not to mention somehow sounding like a loophole to be exploited, like paying for a gift-card with a credit card kind of deal.
But other than that. I still have some other projects plans in the works now and try to work on them as best as I can. I am STILL open for commission-able art work, and it is STILL name your price.
I also think I found a somewhat... decent way to celebrate my 10-year tenure on DA... have a redraw contest where people try to redraw my art work over the years and the op 3 will get prizes for their effort....
There is my up coming birthday coming up in the summer soon, and I hate because I never know how to tell my friends about it and trying not to come off of putting them on a spotlight and making them give me stuff for just that... I just want my friends to do something for me because they want to and that I deserve it....

Here's to another rough New Year....
Oh… it’s the New Year? Dang it… the election is coming up too… this going to be a LONG years that will be too short at the same time somehow, isn’t it? Sorry for the lack of activity on here for a while… at best I am making sketches at the last minute just to say I did DRAW something… Work has me very busy, tried, and stretched out on my days off.. so it’s been hard to balance my budget, my time, and finding the proper use of my free time. It also doesn’t help that my computer habits are more burdensome than proactive, as well as my own computers are getting so old that they’re getting harder to perform properly on them. My main laptop is getting close to 10 years and laggy, while a back-up one has LESS features and even MORE odd bugs to it. I managed to get a new PC tower for myself on Black Friday… I could only afford the computer at the time, still need more for the general set up. I hope with this model, I can do more properly as well as make better computer habits
Late June/ General Summer Mood
Yeah, I am still somewhat active here… nothing happens much in my life to make it noteworthy… much less a general audience for them. At least for better or worse, I have twitter for that stuff… Yeah, still feeling isolated from the lack of feedback on things… even for the pics I commissioned some great artists for… I still sketch for myself, mostly practice or concept drawings, I usually post them on twitter… but I also notice that nobody feedbacks with comments or giftart anymore… even with smaller artists online. Nobody seems interested in socializing unless you have a lot to offer… and I think I am going through a “burnout” trying to break the ice with people and going nowhere, same for some commissions… those are getting hard to get nowadays, both due to prices, chances, and interactions… At least I know I managed to get some traction with some people in between of my bundles of strike outs. My birthday is coming up around the start of August…. I REALLY miss the birthday
Good Riddance 2022... not so stoke for 2023....
I just… I mean… 2022 was… UGH!!! Sorry for the lack of updates here... it’s just that most of the stuff that happens to me is either just small things that best suited for Twitter updates… I have notice my posts on here… get less than ideal amount of feedback. I get likes and favorites… but nothing really helps me understand of what I am doing and what works for me to grow as an artist/creator. This really bothers me with how everything is getting more expansive, including art commissions, I am not sure how much I should invest in projects if they come off so bland or forgettable that barely leave a impact with some people. So far, the only posts that DO get some legit commentary are journal posts about my birthday or a given holiday, the kind that people just reply for the bare minimum greeting… While going into 2023, I will try to be active as much I can. Either drawing for myself or making commission work for the fun of it. I will also try to leave comments for other
The 'Augh' August....
Well… August was… a month to be sure… Had to be extra tight with my budget, because of my job significantly cut my hours down a lot; RIGHT around the time my car insurance bill was coming up… sadly I didn’t get any real progress until the end of the month and just BARELY covered my bill. There was all the frustration coming from the surging inferno that started from the dumpster fire that was the WB and Discovery merger…. Lots of favorite shows and material drastically lost… ALL within a few days. Also didn’t help hearing that ClipArt Studio is going down the subscription path that PhotoShop set up… And then I had a colonoscopy at the end of the month. I had some issues and thought to have it looked into… it did worried me a little… not to mention it cost A LOT of money to cover… with help from the folks. Had to fast and take special meds to prepare for it… taking up a whole day and a half before I could eat anything solid again.. to which I had a variety of tacos and
