Requests

Good news is, my school year's almost over and I should finally have the time to work on stuff soon.

Bad news is, I have to work endlessly to not fail my senior year, which has led to kind of an accidental hiatus as of recently.

That being said, I am so, so sorry for letting my requests backlog before I closed the form. I am still trying to find the time to work on them outside school, and promise to complete them eventually.

I will be turning the request form back on once I've finished the last 2 on my plate. However, there will be some changes for the sake of my time:

• Digital and traditional media will still be available, but digital pieces will always take priority over traditional. It turns out to be more convenient to draw on a compact mobile device than a drawing board and variety of supplies most of the time.
• Traditional options will be more limited from now on. I will only do sketches or lineart in traditional media; colored and full-value pieces will be restricted to digital options. Current outstanding requests will not be affected.
• The "Finalized Full Color" option will be completely removed. It's just too much time and effort for me to expend at any one time.

Tumblr

I'm finally gonna broaden my horizons and branch off onto another site. Since I've had a Tumblr account sitting around doing nothing, a friend suggested I start posting stuff on there.

I'm currently working on cleaning everything up there, including deleting all the wacky shit I posted two years ago. Once that's done, I will be posting finished pieces as well as WiP's and relatively crappy stuff that didn't make it to Weasyl. At any rate, everything that's posted here will be posted there as well.

I've never really been good at social media, so any tips for the blog would be greatly appreciated.

Other Stuff

I've decided I want to make a video game. I don't know jack about coding, programming, animating, or music composition, but damn it, I'm gonna learn all those things myself. It's a long-term thing that I'm just planning out now, but there'll probably be concept art soon.

In theory, t'll be a little something like Undertale + Cave Story + Binding of Isaac. A story-driven 2D platformer with heavy emphasis on player choice and a wide array of useful items to be collected and a good combat system.

Honestly, I have no idea what I'm doing. But I'm determined.

Also, I'm thinking of moving into commissions at some point. I wouldn't stop doing requests, but I'd make it so that a few bucks would mean something like better subject flexibility, greater levels of completion, and higher priority in the queue. This isn't a given, though.
