July rundown

Personal Health:

Ok, I’mma do something that I’ve been afraid to do for the longest and I’ve been holding off on it. Or more or less half-assing and going through business as usual.

I’m taking a break, more so the content I’m known for. I've been spinning my wheels trying to keep up with responsibility and obligations and feel like I’ve been creatively stretched thin. I’ve noticed within my work there are peaks and valleys that I’m able to reach but the excitement I once had has gone limp.

I’ve said before how I’m gonna fire on all 4 cylinders and bust down my to-do list left and right just for something in the middle of the month to clothesline me and suddenly I’m spending more time trying to pick up my momentum while already feeling out of breath. Between my firing, computer crashing, and now my shoulder sprain I feel I’ve had enough. There’s always something in the way and I’m not gonna get anywhere carrying more weight. I need to stop.

I’d like to preface this, I’m not gonna stop drawing my curvacious monster girls. Ya still gonna get what you’ve come here for but I really need to take time for myself.

Work on my passions and or ways to grow.

I love the stuff I do and what I’ve done for you all. The chats on Discord, gaming, and watching movies together; it feels great to be with y’all, but I haven’t been me. Like I’m carrying around a puppet to play as a stand-in while I’m trying to figure out why I don’t feel right.

I wanna say that’ll be easy, I just need to take some time off, but what I need is to get mad.

Get motivated. Say fuck it and do literally anything else instead of pushing through with all this weight.

I’m not throwing in the toweling and saying I’m burnt out, I’ve BEEN burnt out, I just didn’t care enough about myself to stop. But now, it’s different. I’m gonna start my training arc, not just fulfilling a to-do list but studying from the ground up. Fall in love with this medium all over again.

And here’s how I’m gonna do it.

Plans:

• I’m getting rid of the to-do list for this month.

Anything that can’t be done within a day will be put on the back foot until next month.

The comic, collabs, adopts, the drive, all of it will be put to the backburner for now. I’ve spoken to Andre and seeing that his confidence in his PC is restored he’ll be ok for the foreseeable future, but the drive will continue once this month is over.

• The opening week is gonna be dead. I think some time away from the PC, in general, should be good for my health, my back especially. I’ll stay in touch on Discord, but other than that I’mma need some space.
• I’m gonna be getting some fundamental learning in and start learning how to paint. Not draw, paint. I’ve been compiling some programs and exercises to get started, then moving on to gestures and anatomy, and from there more perspective lessons. I’ll post the results as I get back to it.

Sketch stream:

The stream will start on August 11th-12th.

The theme this time around will be: Marketable Plushies

Winning the polls, we’ll turn your girls into plushes [shirts, keychains, what have you].

We can go with something reminiscence to Kirby plushes, make ship T-posing plushes, Sanrio head plushes, or anything if you have a ref of what you want it to look like we can make it happen.
