Hi Everyone!
Okay, so I'm finally learning where I'm going wrong with my work. Its taken me a while to work it out, but now I should steadily start to produce better work. Hopefully.
You probably noticed that I've posted very slowly recently. I have a lot of WIPs on the go, but perhaps I should focus on one at a time. If I put my mind to it, I could probably produce something maybe twice a week. My biggest issue with that though is that I procrastinate. A lot. I'm very easily distracted.
As I start to produce more art, I want to post more of the story that goes with the Images. and more of the story that goes with my OC's. there's no point in having all these OC's posted If no one knows the world they come from, the story behind them, their personalities, their preferences, their fears, their loves, or their past. Every one of my characters have so much of my heart and soul poured into them, as does the world they live in. I guess in a way I lack the confidence in my writing skills to actually write anything out, despite the story being there, amounting to 2 huge arcs and a 3rd in the works alongside my partner who is my inspiration for much of the plot. My issue is that there is a lingering fear that no one else will love them the way I do. Maybe I'm being too hard on myself, but that's a thing that's always in the back of my mind. That is making me hold back. It's making me hesitant about posting them, both the written stories and the artwork. This huge art project I am working on is all part of this. I have many Traditional pieces I have never posted here that I want to redraw as digital pieces. I have a roster of 80 characters that I am drawing out. I want to share the world they are all from too, otherwise, the characters by themselves don't mean anything, but I'm afraid...
So there's my dilemma...

this last year and a long break
Hi everyone!
I have been pretty non existant for a long while now. Several reasons for that.
First of all, Ive been working from a course on Udemy to improve my workflow and my technique. Ive been working through it slowly, as I have also been very busy, not just with work.
Secondly, last february I became a parent! My child is almost a year old and getting into everything! As such I had to swap from my old set up to a new one. At the end of last year I bought a tablet to do art on, rather than be weighed down by cables that little fingers could grab. Ive been slowly adjusting to the touch screen but Ive managed to work it out and an produ
Fan Art and Commissions
So it has been a while since I last posted a journal. I've had a good long break and reflected on a few things, and with the practice I've had between now and the last piece I submitted I feel ready to start posting things again.
but now for the important part of my journal.
Commissions are still available, please dont hesistate to message me. I do accept PayPal as well as points. both prices are the same. I have officially closed requests for good for obvious reasons; it takes me far too much time and effort to prepare and complete a piece for nothing in return, and considering I have a lot of work of my own to do, if I start taking reques
Milestones, Bad thoughts and Where I stand
Hi, guys!
So let me start this journal off on a high note. I've almost reached my first really milestone of 100 watchers! That might not seem like a lot to most people but I am incredibly grateful to everyone that has watched me so far. So thank you :)
Now onto slightly heavier things. Its not a big deal but I will be focusing more on my OC's and my own creative work now, Twin World Saga. I've neglected it for far too long here and lost sight of what I wanted, which was to share the story that i created with everyone. One of my hopes is that you enjoy them as much as any pony art that I do. Sometimes when I see that some of my older pony A
lack of activity and getting more involved
Howdy!
Well a few changes. My live stream is going well! I enjoy using it while im drawing. Its really become a good motivation to keep up with my work. But im also aware I havent been that active recently. I can and should do more when I can, catch up with my outstandimg requests and commissions, properly set up my patreon, and do as much as I can to improve my work and get out there as much as I can. So im going to try and be a lot more active from now on. Participate in contests for some of the groups im a member of, get involved more with the community,that sort of thing...
So yeah a lot to be getting on with and no reason to be sat ar

I know what it's like; I love my OCs to pieces and love writing stories about them....but getting people to take time out and read them is the problem. Maybe if you plan to draw certain scenes write or post the corresponding part of the story in the description. Another thing I see people doing is profile cards of their characters (sort of what you get in manga) just stating common things like name and age to interests, blood types, even allergies. It's a nice little snip-bit people can see to get to know the basics of your characters which may make them interested in knowing more about them and the ventures they face.
