2019 and Beyond by ottter

Hello!
2019 has been a weird year for me, but also a good year, and one that has re-invigorated my love of producing weird niche TF art.
For the past 5 years, I’ve been dealing with an artblock that I’ve only just now come out of this year. I think part of it is situational; I’m in a better place now than I’ve been in the past decade. Part of it is also a reframing of focus when making art.
During the 5-year artblock, I’ve had a 10 page comic commission I haven’t been able to work on. It’s finally coming together now and is more than halfway done now! I still don’t have an ETA, as the work is slow, but it is sooner rather than later!
On top of the comic, since October, I’ve been making weekly 4-hour speedpaints, and oh boy, has this been a real boon for my productivity. The time investment is relatively small, but I still feel proud at having not missed a week since I’ve started, and despite still dealing with executive dysfunction the whole time.
In January, work is probably going to slow down even more, unfortunately. I’ll be getting a new job, and less of my time will be able to go towards art.
Despite the slowdown, I still have a stupid number of future projects and ideas:

  • A more mainstream webcomic that still has a bit of my weird proclivities spicing the flavor, so-to-speak. How to be a Werewolf and Skin Deep being big inspirations (and great webcomics aside)

  • I’m planning on fitting more time to sketch and do art studies in the week. I’m not happy with how my art is right now, compared to what I want to produce.

  • Commissions aren’t something I necessarily want to depend on in the future but opening up to head-shots/busts in the near future could be a thing to keep an eye out for!

  • A big goal in 2020 is to start up Patreon again and use it to produce regular full-issue TF comics.

I hope I can continue to produce art y’all enjoy in 2020!
