Hey guy's, it's been awhile since i wrote one of these.

How's your 2018 been?

Mine has been a big change.
I finally moved outta the house this year and i've started everything over. New home, new job, new enviroment, new friends... new LIFE.
I've made alot of radical changes this year and i've been very happy.

And i see nothing but a bright future coming up. I feel at peace right now.

Now.
As i'm sure you are already painfully aware: I don't really upload much content.

But i plan to change all that NEXT year.
2018 was all about starting anew.
2019 will be me putting alot more focus on my work, and my characters.
I want this to be a big year for my art, and start putting myself to the test.
Mostly to ask the question:  Is this even for me?
I like drawing, heck i love drawing but my lack of effort into it feels like it might not be the thing i want to do so this year i want to ask myself if this is going to remain an "off the side hobby" or something that i'd seriously like to pursue.
Oddly enough however: i dont really have any asperations for a job in the art industry.
I enjoy what i'm doing right now and if i can just produce content online and i can really find more joy in doing that then i will be happy~

So what am i planning to do?

First off: Commissions.
I still have a large back order of commissions that i've been putting off and i will send you all a message soon.
When that's done: Hey i might re-open again.

Second: Patreon.
I alway's stated that i do not want to hide my content behind a paywal, it does look like that might be a thing in the future.
But even then i think i'll just post it for everyone else to see like a month or two after i post it on patreon.
Also having sketch raffles, lotteries and ofcourse WIP's.
Perhaps a Discord.
I'll have to think of more things i'd like to offer.

Third: Stories.
I really want to start telling these with my characters.
Especially Samantha.
I want to start making a "life of Samantha" style sort of comic series.
This is very broad and can go in ALOT of directions and i'm very excited by this.
My head is ALWAYS bubbling up with new idea's but i never put them to paper.
NO MORE!
I'm going to start doing something with that this year.

Fourth: Consistancy.
...yeah laugh it up but i'm serious this time.
Not JUST with the look and design of my characters but also with my consistancy of posting content.
I wanna create more, and be a more active member of the community.
Streaming more often and doing trades and stuff.

Fifth: L33t skillz bruh.
I wanna get better at doing all of the above.
I want to improve my art and specifically i want to start painting more often.


It's alot that i'm putting on my plate and i should be busy this year.

I do not however plan to set aside everything i've been building up in my new life as stated above.
I do still have a 40 hour job and working all day just to start working again all day will not alway's work.
And i might end up getting stressed out or exausted right? So i won't do that.

I'm not becoming a thousand persent dedicated to making art.
Just... more dedicated then i am now.

Heh.

Hope you all have a great 2019 and i'll see you then.

You guy's are the best!
