So even though usually when I'm laying in bed trying to fall asleep I start feeling pessimistic and do all I can not to let myself think about my life, but last night I actually started feeling really optimistic instead.
Right now, I am feeling really pumped up towards art. I wanna get off my butt and hit it hard. I have been so lazy and complacent lately. trying to force myself to continue with commissions, forgetting to enjoy and love those pieces too.
I have been delaying too long the things I want to set up and do and so I think soon I am going to put those wheels in motion. Going to have to start scouting other artists too.
You'll all know what i'm rambling about when the time comes.
anywho, I'm in a really enthusiastic mood right now. why is it lately I've been feeling so terrible about my art? why haven't I been enjoying it?
I've felt like my art has slowed down. like people don't care about it so much. the truth is my art is good. I don't hate it, I'm not unhappy wit hit, I DO enjoy making it and I love the pictures I create but I have just not been showing them that love. I have been treating it like work and that's not right. when my popularity started spiking, when I was at my best, when I was at my happiest, those were at the time when I was drawing a lot and giving it 100% of my effort and love. so that's what I'm going to do again.
I think winter and the lack of sunlight and general moving around have got me feeling lethargic and weak which is partly responsible for not wanting to draw but I won't take that as an excuse. I'm gonna draw anyway X3
So here's what I'm actually going to be doing:
I'll keep experimenting with my style, with my lining and with my colouring. I'll keep taking artists I like and learning from their styles like I was before and continue developing my own style from them.
I also want to go back to using vector too. not completely, I'm not going to abandon my current style. but I just miss making vector pieces so I'm going to try making a few pics with that and see how people like it.
as far as I have seen there aren't all that many vector artists in the community :3
Furthermore, I have something much larger planned but I still want to try and finish my commissions and patreon raffle pics first.
Stay tuned!

NG and PF updated and with new art!
I've been trying to go through uploading a backlog of art from here and other sites to newgrounds and pillowfort! There were one or two pieces I didn't have here, plus there is NSFW works in those galleries too. (Don't worry, it's all rated properly so if you don't want to see adult works/posts, they won't show up). Because I'm still in the process of trying to find information for YCH's that I wanted to upload a backlog of here, I haven't been able to post any art here in a while. but you can see a couple new pieces of mine up on Pillowfort and Newgrounds! Oh and just cus it is always worth repeating, I also have a Bluesky.
Chibi commissions
I was doing some chibi commissions at the festival of friendship and I'll probably do more at the griffish isles con But I want to do some online too. I have digital tools that can replicate sketching and fineliners, or I can just use my usual digital lining brush. If you'd like colours, I can do that for an additional £10 Payments made over paypal, and there is a small processing fee. OCs or cannon characters are fine! But I'd like to keep it to ponies just for the time being.
Will start streaming soon
It's taken me a while to work up to feeling confident enough to start, but I've been planning on doing video game streams on Twitch with my raccoon sona as my avatar. I've actually got him made already and technically have everything ready to go, it's just, you know... the procrastination over starting something big XD But hopefully soon I'll be able to start hanging out on Twitch. Would anyone be interested in coming to watch if I went to play some of my favourite games (and others I'd be interested in trying)?? I was originally planning on starting a game grumps Grumpcade style of show on Youtube where my friends and I would all have Live2D vtuber avatars and play nostalgic games or games we feel didn't get enough attention. but that will require a lot of setup and it would be quite a lot to get the avatars we need and stuff. But we felt that would be ore interesting than just us talking over games. So in the meantime I decided I wanted to do my own streams cus I thought it'd be
Tentatively, opening a few commissions
Since I'm making some excellent progress through existing coms (unless I've missed any somehow), and also the YCH's are going well, I fel like I have the room to open a few slots. I will only be able to do one or two at a time but I'm going to try and keep this productivity going so that I can keep taking more. Also, if you were still waiting for a com, (and we're not actively in communication already), please message me so that we can be on the same page and keep open channels of communication. Due to some neurotype traits I have it means I can sometimes... missplace people or things, including commission details and message threads, especially when I have lots of other people sending me messages, causing them to get buried. so I do sincerely apologise if you've gotten lost on my to-do list. and I just ask that you remind me if I haven't gotten back to you with a progress update in a while. And if you had messaged me at some point asking for a commission and I told you I'd get back

i wish i was more optimistic towards my art but i have felt shit as of late in getting tired of drawing pony work.
I am not sure how to describe it, i had some people telling me not to do it but i owe 2 people pony art and i was able to get one done.
I wish i could just spring out of this like you have .
Not sounding horrid or anything, i am glad things are getting better for you and i hope trying other things as well goes well for you. c:
