This is a double month post because I decided I didn’t actually have enough to write about for August to warrant it. Late July, I decided I wanted to try doing daily and weekly drawings.

For daily drawings, I would use my own list of characters and try to just come up with whatever I felt like. Usually it ended up as positioning practice with a touch of characteristics learning, since the characters I have are pretty different from each other. I managed to do a daily drawing everyday for abut a month before I decided I really should be doing something else with the time I’m using. This thought crossed over to weekly drawings as well sadly.

The setup for weekly drawings was completely different however. For weekly drawings, I put it to a vote for anyone who was interested. Each week I would come up with 5 choices for people to vote on, one vote per IP. I decided to make a page for it on the website here, because I had found a plugin for voting that allowed images to be attached to the vote choice. All too often when I’ve seen other voting poles from other people, I would have no idea what character or suggestion they give me based on just the text provided. Having to look up what character they meant was annoying.

Sadly, I decided that I can’t currently do weekly or even daily drawings as a project, because it means putting aside all the other projects I’ve been meaning to get done for a while now. There’s a comic I want to complete which I’ve finished the storyboard for already. There’s animation sequences I’d like to try out, but have yet to properly start. I’d also like to go through all my characters and give them proper character sheets for easier referencing. I actually have a few characters that still need their designs to be hammered down before I’m satisfied.

Commissions are the final part of what I’m spending my time on. I don’t actually have much to say for this, because commissions are the “most important thing to get done.” I always put commissions as a top priority project since someone else has persuaded me to draw something for them with green paper, and after accepting the terms I am more than obligated to work on it. Of course, that doesn’t mean I drop *everything in my life* just to get it done, there are limits.

As of writing this, there are still some commissions to get down, but I’m hoping that I’ll have a fair few pages completed of the comic I mentioned earlier. I’m calling it “Eyes on the Prize.” I’m not quite sure how I’ll post all the pages, be it one at a time, all at once, or posting a bundle of pages a few times. Oh, and it’s NSFW. It doesn’t have a tradition “comic” layout either, but rather a image-by-image, or frame-by-frame setup. I’m thinking I might actually share the storyboard with a few people and get new perspectives on it, to help with editing and such. Once this comic is done, I might see about maker shorter ones, tradition comic page format, just so I can actually have content in the “Comics” page I’ve made here on the website :[.

I’m also fiddling with certain parts of the website again, so some things might be a bit janky. (I’m not very good at this stuff.)
