Something I want to do, but haven’t been really able to do yet, same kinda goes for my journal entries. Yep, that’s right, I’m getting straight up meta right now, and I’m not talking about the company. To put it short, I want share more insightful posts in the future, although I’m fully aware I’m not completely obligated to do longer posts since no one isn’t controlling me.
That’ll be all for now, thanks for readin’! 😉
It’s a daydream that I constantly have every now and then, my ambitions are high, but my art, in my humble opinion, just isn’t there yet. I crudely ask myself, “Your art isn’t worth paying a penny for is it?” and the answer is no. But I’m probably being a tad much harsh on myself, besides, I’m the same person that has done the negativity laced ambitious thoughts like this before too. By the way, my focus is on Sonic the Hedgehog related art, just to let you know what’s my mindset and/or alike.
A major concept I struggle with is full body drawings, for the most recent time I fully did one was this one of Sonic back in May of 2021:
To be fair, this is nearly a year old, and I’ve made some improvements over time. Take this one of Furdy’s OC, Maya the Mako Shark I did more recently, which is still in WIP state since:
Sadly, I lost the original Krita file due to accidentally wiping my main Windows partition somehow (I now use the Linux distro Kubutnu), although I remember formatting the empty partition. But thankfully, my godmother’s co-worker was able to use some recovery software to gain files back, but they were mostly corrupted or scrambled. However, on a positive note, I still have the PNG of this and I probably can recover more of my files using Linux recovery tools.
So I really aim for improvement on my art in general and reach the point where I’m confident in doing commissions. Some particular things I’d like to do with the income earned (if I do and probably won’t lol) is donate to open source projects and buy a dedicated hard drive for my server I can think from the top of my head.
Holy moly, some weird events happened around the time we left town today.
We left the local Target to put up our stuff in the car, when all of a sudden, a series of fire trucks and various police vehicles gathered around a spot in the marketplace square. I believe it was over a concern that a gas line might’ve been ruptured, with the fire department possibly applying a fire retardant to the line.
The next hijink was high speed chase, there were around 12 police vehicles travelling on the opposite side of the interstate I was on, completely baffled on what could possibly be going on. It was revealed later by my grandpa, who was watching the news at time we were on the road, that they were actually chasing a suspected shooter that injured a person near a school in a nearby city.
The icing on this weird cake was this semi-truck that was in front of us, which I must say, was a bit scary to see, for we thought we were about to witness an accident. The truck tried to cut ahead of the semi in the other lane, but they nearly even made it though, as they were close to clipping the semi behind.
So yeah, crazy hijinks they were indeed.
I want to dedicate this post to Furdy’s (@Furdman02 is his Twitter account) OC, Maya the Mako Shark! I just gotta say I absolutely adore this OC, her design is absolutely amazing! I especially dig her “edgy” look that Furdy calls it.
I have literally sooooo many WIPs on her that I’ve probably yet to share, with many of them being considered unfinished personally, but love them all pretty much though. My hope is to one day finish a full body drawing of her and maybe do a poster of her, gosh that’d be effing amazing.
Side note: effing is considered a word in my browser haha.
Let’s get something clear, I’m not an expert on doing intros, but you can find pretty much everything you need to know about me on my mantra. Besides, when I do intros, they often times are awkward or just lame lmao.
For those who are here reading this, you might be asking “why did you start this blog?” and the answer goes like the following sentence. For the past few months, I’ve been having difficulty communicating over social media, and not matter how many times I attempt to encourage myself to be social again, I just couldn’t accomplish that goal. It’s mostly due to stress and a personal issue from a little while back that keeps me held back from communication. So while I was, and still sorta am as of writing, on hiatus, I was mostly focused on my personal life and family. During that time, I got the inspiration to actually start keeping a journal as I vowed to my family and myself in my past.
Why didn’t I always keep a journal? You see, I was really young somewhere around 9 and I thought you would only make journal entries when you’re down. Thus, I thought the idea sounded cliche and never attempted consecutive entries. Now at 16, matured and wiser, I’m now committing to keeping one, knowing that it’s beyond entries of when you’re sad haha.
So here you’ll see all various things relating to art, music, life, miscellaneous thoughts, along with infinitely much more. My hope is that my creativity, growth, and feelings will greatly value from this very blog; perhaps even yours too dearest reader!
I hope you enjoy the experience, for I have a great feeling about this! 😉
