Original Life is going on an indefinite hiatus. It's not an easy thing for me to do. I've realized how stretched I am, and it's not just about physical time, but the time spent thinking about new projects. Several things have lead me to this: The ideas for new stories and pages aren't satisfying to…
http://www.patreon.com/jaynaylor I’ve pondered what I’m going to do with Patreon for a while. I’ve always wanted to let people support me in other ways besides my website’s catalog, which is a little old and cumbersome, now. What I’m doing with Patreon is: I’m going to be posting my full color adul…
A video where I work on this picture for 50 minutes, while talking about space bunnies as well as bunnies in outer space. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KvirbvY3kQg
The third workflow video. No music, but you can see how I put on the shade layers prior to adding color to an image. I didn't split the vid, so it's an hour and twenty minutes, roughly, and I talk through all of it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57joc93iI-c
Some people expressed an interesting in workflow videos, so I decided to screen record my digital sketching and inking after work, tonight. I'm not super fast, so the sketching and the inking portions are divided into two videos that are roughly 40 minutes each. But I'm chatting like a hen during m…
I've been trying to draw and ink digitally, more often, now. But I'm still torn. It's not quite down to a science for me, yet. It seems to work really well in some images, but in other images seem to succumb to the "coloring book" effect. Some people compliment my neat lines (as is my instinct to m…
This point was made sort of as a vent on my art-only Twitter account some time ago, but it's worth coalescing into a journal, here. It's about something I've noticed, and grown weary of, and it's this: Every time I draw Audrey, someone has a problem. When I first drew her, I was verbally berated on…
I'm starting to put the SFW images that I really enjoy here: jrn-arts.tumblr.com/ I really want to do more like them and I'm finding them more satisfying at the moment. And I want a place where nice people can see it and reblog it and not have to worry about backtracking face-first into my latest c…
People who assume that the latest page of a plot arc represents its conclusion really peeve me. It's like walking out of a movie at the Major Setback stage of the screenplay, and telling everyone the movie had a sad ending. I understand how it is when you only see two new pages a week (which is all…
I suppose it's worth saying that my intentions here aren't to alienate people from using Fur Affinity if they want. Websites don't necessarily compete like manufacturers of toaster ovens, where if you buy one, you're not likely to purchase a competing product. People can maintain accounts on severa…
I've created an art-only Twitter account, realizing that a lot of people follow my every activity may not be interested in my own personal musings and retweetings. Plus, it's good to have a place to share tidbits of what I'm working on, and comment here and there, on a running scroll that isn't as…
There's just a few things about Weasyl that I'd like to constructively criticize. I suppose foremost is the presentation of the thumbnails. Being able to crop and create your own thumbs so easily tempts a lot of artists to really constrain their thumbnails to tiny details, like faces and such. Peop…
A reminder about Weasyl's "Friend" feature: I've gotten a new bunch of friend requests, but I don't reciprocate them unless I've exchanged a few words with a person and/or I follow what they do. I know there's a chance some people I have met may be sending friend requests, but I may not be able to…
I'm going to start populating my Weasyl gallery, again, and keeping up with matters, here. I'll probably start with a few submissions a day in between working on things. It's been over a year since I've been here, and some messages piled up. I'm sorry for missing any messages or friend requests in…
Thanks to everyone who's given me a warm welcome on Weasyl. My gallery here is less complete than the one on FA, but I'm sort of uploading my favorites to populate my gallery. In time, if Weasyl demonstrates awesomeness and professionalism, I may upload exclusives here to help encourage others to c…
