hi =] what's going on? sorry for the lack of entries as of late, i knew i wanted to start a new page for my blog but i didn't feel like going in and shifting everything around... lazy lazy i know. it's been a really beautiful spring here so far, i've been very busy with taking care of plants both at home and at work. my little porch garden is coming along nicely, i'm trying to grow some bush cucumbers this year so we'll see how that goes. tbh i can't wait to have actual ground to stick plants into eventually, there's only so much you can do with a porch garden. i did get a really nice shelf to put out there and it's freed up a ton of space, i don't know why we didn't think abotu doing that before.
and of course, getting pumped for one of my favorite parts of the summer... art fight! i think this weekend i'm going to focus on making references for some ocs that didn't make it on there last year. art fight is like my favorite thing ever, i can't believe i ever put off doing it for so long because i was worried i wouldn't be motivated enough for it. it turns out it's actually a really great way to Get motivated.
coming out of the semester i'm always trying to figure out how to switch off grindset mode. i still have to worry about work burnout, but i have a little more time to explore hobbies that i ignore because of school, yet when summer actually rolls around i'm always scratching my head like 'wtf is it that i wanted to learn how to do???' so i'm going to sit down and make a fun little list of things i want to teach myself this summer. maybe i'll finally FINALLY get around to opening up blender. i messed around with it a little bit a few years ago but didn't do a lot with it, so i want to try again. also don't want to stop traditional painting, i had so much fun with it this semester that i want to keep rolling with it. my only problem is that i have nowhere to put the completed works and my apartment is already small enough as it is.
i've once again been working on my webcomic, i know i keep saying this haha... it's sort of a cycle, i'll come back to it every few months and work on it in chunks before i get busy and have to drop it again. TBH, i'm a little reluctant to show WIPs because that's how i end up losing motivation to work on stuff, but here's One Little Taste for you to look at:
i had to go in and once again fix the code for the site. then i went in and looked at how i wanted to present the actual chapter, in the past i've just sort of haphazardly slapped things onto a black webpage with little regard to how things were working. now that it's been a few years since i've started working on this project, i've had some time to learn how to code a Little bit better so i wanted to go through and tighten things up a bit. so far what i have looks much better than how it used to, and i'm excited to show it to you guys when it's done. i've also been working on an outline for everything, when i previously tackled this project it was only half of an outline and i figured i would just cross that bridge when i came to it. as you can probably tell, it backfired. as of now, there are 9 chapters that are all roughly outlined (as in i have written down a vague account of what will happen in each chapter). the first chapter is halfway written, then i plan on going through and thoroughly outlining each chapter and then writing each chapter/script out as i go. here's a little vague look at the (tentative) chapter titles:
well anyhow, that's all i really got for you guys today. i hope everyone's enjoying their spring so far =] there's been a lot of wild/severe weather this past week so i hope you guys have been doing okay. see you next time!
