Oh gosh this is like the first time I ever had a subscription; no idea how anything works but excited!(((I've got 8-10 new pieces of art to upload asap, be on the look out)))As the 50 or so of you delightfully followers (♥) saw in my poll a few days ago, I'm back to update here again. I'd love to work on my presence in the community more seriously. The new mobile app is going to help a lot with that (I hope!). For the most part, I've become crutched into lazily using Twitter for my art; still plan to continue as it's most convenient, but it also doesn't reach a broader audience for interaction and input.
TLDR -
I want to draw for others again.I've got a bunch of new/personal hobbies now, to make occupy my needs. I feel my drawing abilities are best utilized when making other people happy! Regardless if gifted, traded or paid. I yearn to envision other characters and scenarios in my own mental realm (style). It always challenged me more to do so and bolstered productivity knowing someone out there will be waiting anxiously for me to share. I've accepted that my art isn't really "for me" and that's totally cool! I'd rather not give up simply because there's no motivation to do it for myself, when I have more immediate outlets. The excitement I get whenever I'm expecting a piece of art from another artist is spectacular, so I can thoroughly understand and respect the point of view (which emphasizes on wanting to present the opportunity).
There's definitely a war on time, of course. Struggling a bit with a very low paying job and terrible hours, that keep me from my own hobbies, let alone art. But! I'm making the effort to set aside time for here (still use FurAffinity as well) instead of letting it sit on the backburner until things are convenient. Haha. And I've even considered the plausibility of working towards art being a steady income again! Livestreams and commission deals with a schedule? All in due time.
I'm rambling.
♦ I am incredibly active (by comparison) on my public art Twitter: OVER HERE▬ Generally offer free requests, trades and commission openings (been closed for 6mo) there first.
♦ Also considered reviving my 3 character askblog on Tumblr: CLICK ME▬ But all the characters have changed a ton in the past year, which will need to be clarified/re-envisioned.
