I'm kind of excited for some of the things I have planned in the near-ish future. Granted, I also feel a little silly, as none of my plans are something as gloriously important as, say, actually going to college or something. To be entirely honest, I still haven't decided if I am going to go to college. lol It's certainly been something I've been pondering though.

But, anywho, here's just some of the stuff I have going on, or planned for the next year or so, depending on how things work out.

I've opened a Storenvy and a Society6, and while I have no content currently to put up on either, I'm hoping on rectifying that slowly but surely. I have to assess what's print worthy for Society6 (I suspect if I do some fanart, that might be helpful, and maybe do more themed personal stuff that people might care about lol) And as for Storenvy, I'm going to be looking into making shrinky-dinks charms/keychains, stickers, and button/badges. lol Maybe even button magnets as well? It's an idea.

That, of course, requires me to buy shrinky-dinks paper, jump rings, etcetcetc, sticker paper, and a button press. All of which are going to cost a rather pretty penny. Especially the button press (plus a hole punch to make my button making life easier). I am curious if anyone has any idea what kind of sticker paper is the best? Or should I just pick one and find out if it's any good? xDD

I am also, eventually planning on buying a Cintq 13hd, not the companion, as, from as far as I've researched, the companion has a hella lot of drawbacks. And I'm okay with being chained to my desktop to art with the Cintq. I am looking into tablets to possible be able to do digital on the go... Right now I'm looking both at iPads and the Samsung Galaxy Note 10. But I don't have any proper plans for that...

My idea is, once I clear off my to do list (I need to stop dorking around and actually start progressing with it again), I will be opening small commissions, probably here, on FA, on DA, and on Tumblr. Stuff like headshots, chibis, etc. Stuff that shouldn't take me over long, even if work decides to ream me like it does every few months. B| My idea was to get AWAY from commissions for a while, but until I can either find a second job that can assist with my bills and also buying this sort of thing, or a more sustainable job... Then this will have to be the route to take, while I use my checks from my part time job to pay off bills, pay rent, and buy clothing and food. This way I can still get things I'm after... I don't really want to entirely go the route of a serious out of the house second job, of course, because that means more time away, and possibly just less time in general to do any art at all. Which isn't awesome in the least.

And, of course, alllll of this, is hopefully going to lead into me going to cons again, and participating in artist alleys again. As well as maybe having an income from a Storenvy and Society6. ;A; That would be fantastic.

So yeah. I'm excited and intimidated at the same time.
