Inktober 2019
1 min read
I've always been interested in Inktober, but never really had the time to try it. And I still don't! Regardless, I want to give it a go this year and thought it'd be fun to incorporate Pokemon into it. Hopefully I'll have something inked every day and I hope you all enjoy!

Hey!
I'm on the grid now. I'm trying to get the hang of these new platforms, but it's pretty complicated for my tiny mind.

I have ideas for what I want to do with these sites, but for now, I'm just going to upload artwork like normal.
Speaking of uploading art, I've also decided I'm going to post art every Monday as a means of drawing every week. I hope I don't regret this decision, but I also hope you guys enjoy my art again and join me on this daunting journey into social media.

A Big Update (I'm not dead)
3 min read
Alright. It's been a while. More like a very, long time. It has been a weird sort of year since I've been away, not bad weird, but just busy.
A big reason I haven't been drawing much is because I've been frustrated with my computer not working properly, along with the program I use to draw. But now, I've got a slightly newer laptop and started to use Krita as my new drawing program. I'm still getting the hang of it, but from what I am seeing, I am really liking it and I am looking forward to trying out the animation features soon.
I also wanted to let everyone know that I am trying to branch out more. I have only used deviantArt to upload a majority of my artwork and recently (really a few years ago) used tumblr, but now I want to try and create an account on Instagram and Twitter to try and widen my audience. I personally don't use those social media outlets, but I feel like I am too stubborn when it comes to these new types of websites. I will let you know once those pages are up and running.
Another thing I want to bring up is my content. As of the past few years I tried to stay away from making fanart, seeing as a majority of my artwork consists of that, and made my own original art. But just because I stopped drawing fanart doesn't mean I want to stop completely and I've been doodling things from media that I liked, but never uploaded any of it. Which brings me to this question, would you like to see me upload fanart again on this account or should I create another page/site for fanart or my original content exclusively? This would also affect my plans with twitter and Instagram. Really, I just want an excuse to draw more and practice.
I've become incredibly rusty drawing on a tablet and learning a new program on top of that is daunting, but I do want to upload more artwork.
And, as if this journal entry can't get any longer, I've been juggling around the idea of starting a Patreon as well. It won't be a place to upload content exclusively under a paywall, but more or a way to have fans offer some financial support and show their appreciation. Of course I wouldn't expect everyone to donate and having people be aware of me and my artwork really is more than enough, but having some extra pocket change can really free up some time to draw a lot more frequently. It's just a thought at the moment, but I would love to hear your comments about Patreon and my other ideas mentioned above.
I'm excited to get back into the groove of things and looking forward to how this will all play out. Thank you for reading.

A Quick Update
2 min read
Hey, guys. It's been a while since I've last uploaded any artwork, let alone write a journal entry.
First off, I want to thank everyone who gave me a birthday message. Really, thank you guys, it means a lot.
Second, i haven't been on my computer in months and, when I did, I found out my drawing tablet has stopped functioning properly. Granted, I've had it for almost 7 years, but it's still upsetting I can't draw digitally.
And lastly, that hasn't stopped me working on my projects, primarily Project Limitless. While at work or unwinding, I've been pieceing together a concrete narrative little by little and writing down stories I'd think would be fun to explore and some interesting plots. I am a tad bit rusty when it comes to drawing at the moment, but that's nothing a little practice won't change.
I also want to apologize for not updating as of late, and kinda keeping everybody in the dark, but I have high hopes for the coming year. Hope you all enjoy the rest of the year and I'll see you in 2018.

Continuing the Q and A
1 min read
it's been a while since i've been on my computer, and i've been wanting to finish a few of the requests i had sketched. but after a long time of not really drawing, i've realized i'm really rusty. still, i'd like to get those finished and uploaded, so i'm going to make some time to practice and get those requests done.
in the meantime, i haven't finished my Dark Souls 3 livestream and with the final dlc coming soon, what better time to continue my adventure in Lothric. so what i've decided is that every Friday at 7pm(mt), until i beat the game with all dlc's, i will livestream my game and still continue to take questions about myself, my projects, and my characters. follow my livestream exploits here: www.twitch.tv/tlm02
hope to hear (and answer) from you guys soon, and thanks for being so patient
