Now it's November

Nov 15, 2023

Art prints, Inktober aftermath and a YouTube channel.

So, it’s mid-November. I am just getting healthy again after finally getting COVID and trying to being creative again. I was a little disappointed I got Covid after all this time. I had the theory I was immune or something. Last month’s Inktober efforts were an accomplishment, but being sick for a few weeks I do feel the stress of catching up with projects I had going, or wanted to start.

Inktobers efforts. I generally happy with most of them. But there is a few that will haunt me until I draw them again.

I’ve spent a solid week organising this website enough to add a store with art prints, a reliable print service and adjusting or reorganizing a few pages to better suit what I want to accomplish in the near future. Instead of a “TWITCH” page there is now a MEDIA page that has Twitch, Instagram, and YouTube content to explore.

My YOUTUBE channel is new so there isn’t a lot on there right now, but one of my goals is to put a heavy focus into growing it as the stories or web comics begin to take form. I don't want to just fill it with VODs for the sake of content and want the vibe just right.

I do feel however, that I’ve spent a very long time setting up this site for the future projects that my art has suffered. So much time doing tasks that have nothing to do with art or creativity has affected my ability as well as improvement so my thoughts or “spirit” is not at it’s highest right now.

 I did spent a few hours using pencils this morning, staying well away from pen and inks, and it was a nice change being able to use softer blending or tones compared to the hard lines and hatching I was trying to use last month. Both pictures are work in progress.

Finally, the first web comic has been neglected for a while now. I do think about it daily and have worked out I can merge the current story or script with another short story I had planned out. This would send one side of the story down a darker path, but that is something I am willing to accept lol but will probably add to the overall page count. Which means more work, more time etc… on something that is already being neglected.
 
Hopefully I can get the script sorted by the end of this week and have the comic on the drawing boards over next week. At least doing thumbnails and planning the new pages.
 
Thanks for reading. As always if you are interested in what I’m getting up to please find me on my socials, follow. Maybe even catch me stream!
 
Any support helps and is appreciated.
