Life, commissions, and stuff
Life this past months and stuffs (maybe TMI, depending on your sensibilities)
January was just a whole month of preparations for the fact that a dear internet friend would come to visit for a week at the end of it. I was equal parts bouncing with excitement and scared out of my head, fearing I'd fuck up somehow.
Visit happened. It was a continued trip of awesome, awkward and generally good times. I was left the happiest happy, and I think they had a good time, too ^^ I learned that ice-cream delivery is not thing in the US. This boggles my mind, and makes me sad for all my american acquaintances.
February was spent working and looking for a home. The boyfriend and me are attempting to buy a place and move in together. Real estate searching sucks, but not as much as I thought it would, being honest. 0w0
This was also the month of worrying, because of the complexities of family communication. Also, I feared for a while that I was pregnant, on account of my organism doing whatever the frag it wants with my cycle. Not cool, internal organs. Not cool.
Work and Commissions
The flashcard work is finished. I still have to make the covers of the books, but the flashcard making itself is over. This means I will be back to fully working on commissions.
As soon as I finish clearing the ones I have left (which should be done in a couple of weeks), I'll probably start opening for small things like icons, and depending on work and study flow, go up from there.
On other news, there is a possible large-ish project in the oven! If things continue to work out, I'll be doing a series of illustrations for a bestiary. Tentacles an teeth ahoy! This is still in the first stages of project-making, so I don't want to say much, but I am super excited about the whole thing. \0u0/
On a less happy note: I don'think I'll be taking complex, polished Transformers commissions again, for a long while.
I'm a-ok with complex composition if they are sketches, or polished images if they are portraits, icons, or something simpler like that, but large, complicated and fully colored images are something that I am still not able to finish fast enough.
The commissions I have left are proof of it, and I won't be getting into something like those again until I know I am able to deliver in a much smaller time than what I can do at the moment.
Well, that's about it.
Expect more frequent stream, posting and commission slots this year. 0u0
