Heya there~
Just wanna do another lil check-in. More updates on:
- the state of my projects & what I plan to work on
- what I’m thinking of working on
- any other updates
- and let any of you all ask open-ended questions you’d like me to answer.
— Projects & Plans —
The Mila daki samples arrived! I checked for quality between a couple different materials and decided on the 2-way Tricot. I also put out a Twitter poll asking what sizes of daki people tend to have, and most people said theirs were around 150x50cm. So now I have a bulk order of Mila dakis on their way to me! I’m excited to ship these out when they arrive! ^^
I got all caught up with the Fireballs for Two comic! Just a couple more pages to go now.
I finished the Xmas YCH for Obsidian and posted it to all the places it can be posted! (Reminder that not all of my art can be posted to Furaffinity or Inkbunny. To see all of my art, check my Twitter, Itaku, or my Discord server)
I finished my first major part of the work on the animated YCH with Ninevolt and passed him the WIP file to continue making the project.
I’m now returning to work on the Down in the Dungeon comic. Now that I’ve got caught up on a lot of my other work, I’m hoping to start getting one page done per week for this comic, as a baseline level of productivity.
I’m still chipping away at the writing for the Pushing my Buttons comic! I keep running into several little roadblocks that slow down the writing process, but then I overcome them and keep going. Now that I have my characters and themes more clearly defined, writing the scenes is going faster! In terms of writing out all the scenes I want to have, I’d guess I’m about 15% done.
— Ideas —
The music video idea I wrote about last time hasn’t moved much, because other things have been occupying my time this past month. What I’m doing is I’m planning out the visuals for each section of lyrics before I draw them. Then I plan to storyboard some still images along to the music like an animatic. Then I can add the motion and color (I expect this part to take the longest).
— General Updates —
I got out of my weird phase I wrote about last journal - where I don’t feel like drawing as much. And actually, I’m doing better than ever now. I’m keeping my place cleaned up, I’m getting regular exercise, I’m checking my messages every day, I’m posting stuff regularly, and I’m privately streaming to supporters again.
I usually struggle to keep up with answering messages and posting art regularly. I’ve recently solved this issue by hijacking my coffee addiction. Basically I’m not allowed to have coffee each day until I check my messages and post some art or pay site promos. This has helped me a ton! Now having my first coffee of the day feels like a big reward.
I do stream privately to supporters. I want to get into the habit of streaming twice a week at least. Streams are great for helping me focus on projects, because as long as I’m live, I feel like I have to be doing something. I don’t like the feeling of dead air when the audience (or potential audience) just sees nothing happening. I’ve been doing these streams a bit more lately and I look forward to making them even more regular!
— Feedback —
If you have any feedback you’d like to give or questions you’d like answered, feel free to ask. Suggestions, technical stuff, how I do certain things, if I’m okay with something, anything.
