Hello everyone! Sorry once again for the lack of responding to comments, I sort of ended up getting this on going dizzy/headache spell for a week making it painful to look and concentrate on my computer screen. I'm feeling a lot better now, thankfully, and I'm back to drawing and doing animations, sort of! I also want to thank all the super patient people, of whom I owe things, I seriously appreciate your patience and I know I say this a lot, but I really, really appreciate your patience. Your stuff is coming, at least within the next few months, I swear!

    I am back to work working on contest prizes and other such things, I've sketched a couple prizes so that's good! I'm working on an animated contest entry, it shouldn't take me more than a month to finish and I'm sure you'll all love it! It's super cute, the characters are cute, at least, that's my opinion. In case the contest holder comes across this page, I won't be sharing any details, I want it to be a surprise! It's not often I do it, mostly because I want guaranteed compensation for my work (it's one thing if it's some one off picture where I end up getting a benefit no matter what because I'm practicing something or I want to draw the OC). Animation is a lot of work (well, depending on the piece), I save doing that for special cases like this one where the prize is so good and something I desperately want, that I'll animate a more complex piece (I also love the characters because they're just so adorable, that helps, they're simple and easy to animate, unlike Azure; still love animating her though).

    Anyways, some WIP stuff:


    Don't know why there's a line there, it's not there when you zoom in. I'm still smoothing out the lines and I need to add the status mark, then, it's onto more complex details like the fluff you've been seeing in my more recent pictures and a background, probably. I've been working on two styles, on that's more mlp, the other is somewhat more realistic. Refs and animations will be more mlp, big pieces will be with the more realistic unless it's a special case. I really needed to draw a new picture of Azure for reference purposes because I realized I really needed a more stable ref of some sort and I needed something to get more motivated to draw and such again because I was sort of in a slump, Azure's always a good way of getting back on the horse (no pun intended, mostly ). Also, I wanted to show off just how much I've grown and creating something recent in case I want to join a project and need examples, or want to do an art trade.

    I won't be very active starting Friday, for the most part, busy week next week; I'll be doing lots of sketching on the bright side! When things get back to normal, I'm going full speed ahead working on that contest entry, another one I really want to do, and all the work I owe everyone! When I'm more than half way through, sometime mid July I presume, I will start another contest ! I think you will love this idea! I was talking about it with my friend and we're both excited for the idea! I'll be trying to earn lots of points so I can offer point prizes. I'm not going to tell or hint at what it is, you can guess if you want; you won't get it ! If you end up getting it, I might give you something? May as well have fun with it!

    Father's day, I've got a fun announcement post planned and yes, it ties into Father's day. It's an idea I've been thinking on for a good while and I can't wait to share it with you, it's one I think I can keep up with. July is Azure's birthday month, by the way! I'm actually going to try and make that journal featuring art of Azure this time, updating it everyday with a new artist for you to check out! I will also attempt to do more Azure ask responses since it is her birthday month. You can ask her things in the original ask me post thing I made a year back, but there's so many questions for her, I may not get to it. I think that's it? I can't think of any more updates. Long status update, probably should have been a journal. At least I know the really active people will be taking a look at this with no need for flashing titles, for the most part. Well, hope you have a nice day/afternoon/evening! Now, onto responding to people and leaving comments!
