What is going on everyone!?
Added 2023-08-30 17:00:03 +0000 UTCHere's a huge update on everything that I'm doing, and the reason that I'm not active on finishing the discord, or redoing my website, and even completing the God of War animation! So let's start with that; I have to work a full time job (while also taking care of my 2 year old daughter; technically two full time jobs and thankfully I work from home or this would be impossible,) to provide for my beautiful family! But that means a lot of my time goes into creating work for other people;


Whether that's animations like this one, and two others I'm working on; or illustrations;

And I'm working on another image like this one too. So because of that, the God of War animation is taking a very, VERY long time;

I've barely done anything since this update. I've done one or two other shots, but the progress is very slow;

And don't get me wrong, it isn't the job and taking care of my little one that is the only responsibilities eating up my time. I'm trying to develop my shop so I have more interesting products and higher quality products; not to mention expanding into clothing which is a slow process but I do have a few items I'm waiting for samples of and then I want to test their quality before I start listing and promoting them. But I'm also trying to expand the sticker / print library too;

Don't take this is me complaining either, I'm just being completely transparent and letting you know everything that is happening with me right now. So in addition, I really want to get monetized on YouTube, so I'm making more animated short loop videos (or trying to at least) so I can get monetized for shorts;

But I'm also aiming to make longer form YouTube videos too. just of advice, tips, my own experiences around life on the whole not just art related. So doing this is taking up time too;

I'm also writing and preparing to start a manga one shot that you may or may not be aware of, which I'm super excited for but not talking about at all really because I want it to be a surprise and have no pressure for deadlines or even raising expectations, as honestly, it's just for me and my creative expression and mental health in the midst of all this.

So all of that being said, I am stretched very thin, VERY THIN! And I don't actually have time to do all of these things, so I'm in a constant state of picking up and putting down these projects, juggling them and cycling through them, while prioritizing the most important things and also moving them all closer to completion. Now yes, I may decide to just focus finish one thing and then move onto the next, and the next and so on until everything is completed. But right now, my paid work takes priority by default until I can get either more support here or monetized on through social media (that way all the time spent on professional work can be reallocated to the personal ventures and things will get moving). But until then, this is where I'm at, and what you can expect.
In short, there is a lot on the way and a few things I haven't mentioned, but it's all coming very slowly.
