Happy New Year, Y'all.
Jan. 2nd, 2014 11:27 amAnd we roll into 2014 without any major weirdness happening, which means that it's already happened or it will be happening soon, or both. We shall see!
2014 is going to be a year of Trying To Better Myself, which is going to probably turn me into a whimpering ball of "omgwhy" every other month, but hey. I'm going to try to work through my chronic depression and do more art. I'm also going to promote my art more and attempt to make a job of it, which has the possibility of ending disastrously but I can't learn that if I don't try.
I'm going to draw a comic project with Saghiir, whether we get accepted to an anthology or not (did I mention we applied to be in Beyond? We totally did because we're awesome) because I love the characters and also because, to be blunt, I wanna see how the story ends! I also have a fresh idea for a new comic story, centered in a (mostly) human universe, so we'll see where that goes. I've had hundreds (thousands?), of comic ideas in my lifetime, and 99% of them have gone successfully nowhere...but I'm sick of that, and I want to change it. I also want to work outside the furry fandom for once, because it's a niche audience; I will ALWAYS have an audience, as long as I draw furry, and that's awesome! But I also want to see what audience I can get (and hopefully maintain?) outside of the fandom*.
I also know that once I get started on a project, other projects will roll into my brainspace. I work very well when I have several different things going at once.
Currently, I'm on a sketchbook-making kick. Inspired by Mossy, and thanks to my mom getting me a wire binding machine for Christmas, I've started crafting sketchbooks:
A wild Sciggles Book appears!
And I think they're pretty neat. I hope to start taking commissions for them soon because they are relatively unique. I can also make scrapbooks, journals, and other types of books, too, but sketchbooks was the obvious go-to.
As usual, for the end of the year, I locked all the entries from January 1 to December 31, 2013. This is NOTHING TO BE WORRIED ABOUT, it's just how I round out my years on LJ.
* - If you take this as "OMG the furry fandom SUCKS!" you completely and utterly missed what I said.
