*APPEARS*

HELLO PEOPLE I AM HERE.

Classes finished finnaaalllyyyy so that means second year of uni is OVAH.
...Hmmmm. Not quite.
I still have the final project deadline in just over a week, which will continue to keep me busy, but at least I don't have to travel to the city nearly everyday. So I still won't be FULLY returned, but I'll be simmering around more often.

Once I do have everything handed in, I'll be going through messages properly. *cough* Okay, yeah, that's half-true. Guess what, my deviation inbox full of this amazing work from all the people I'm watching has been hovering on the 1000 mark over the last....huh, probably year and a half. I am sick of this huge number sitting there, me thinking that I'll get to commenting on all of them.

Nope. Not gonna happen. Even during the holidays I don't have the enthusiasm to actually sit there for 6+ hours commenting on everything. And I like giving proper critiques SO I will be choosing a bunch of works I reaallyyy want to comment on, and then removing the rest. Just a heads-up so none of you get too disappointed if I never comment on something. Things are only going to get more hectic, and I want a fresh slate.

ON THAT NOTE of things getting more hectic: it's nearing crunch time for me. Career-wise. So I'll be TRYING to tackle lots of projects, whether personal or for local magazines, groups, internships etc. to illustrate as much as possible. Grimmy Comic is really high on that list on the personal side, so fingers crossed I can get something worked out the next couple of months. I'm also thinking of tackling two very short Bionicle-related projects so we'll also see about that. Aaaaand I miiiiight have joined just A COUPLE of tabletop RPGs.....expect a lot of upcoming scribbles of those.

Also, I'll finally get around to uploading my uni stuff. SUPER EXCITING DESIGN STUFF YO....eh I dunno you'll form your own opinions on this very different body of work.

Will I be opening commissions? MeeeeEEHHHybe. I've been sniffing around for how professional illustrators work and I'm not seeing a lot of...let's call it 'growing room' skill wise in personal commissioning. I might open some simple drawing commissions as a 'on-the-side' thing, but I won't be doing a full-blown commission list because, to be honest, those drawings would cost a lot more to produce given how much time I have available and how quickly I need to learn.


I thought this update was gonna be short but there are already five paragraphs so I'll end it here. Tl;dr: I am relieved (and slightly scared!) this semester is finishing.





P.S YES I HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING THE NEW UPDATES ON BIONICLE CLOSELY. I AM VERY PLEASED. MUCH SQUEALING.
