Somehow we're already here, 2022 is coming to an end and I've been reflecting on my art, myself, and what I've been doing to show it, as well as ideas for the future. Read below if you would like to have an entire spiel.

I didn't post on Newgrounds as much as I wanted this year and it bums me out. I guess I feel like NG wants full, finished pieces but honestly my year has been a lot of sketch dumps. I know, pretty DeviantArt of me. I haven't posted them and I'm not sure if I should? The bulk of my sketches are in my sketchbook and sadly I don't have a scanner so if the images don't look crisp then I throw it away. Problem is, I'm too critical with my work and how it's presented. I can't stand when my sketch is slightly casted in shadow or if the page isn't parallel (augh design school ruined me.) I posted as frequently as I could around but it's sooo daunting sometimes to remember what I have and haven't posted to where at what given time. Maybe I just overthink it.

In terms of myself and how I've been doing, man do I have some things to tell you. I've been trying to fix my HORRENDOUS sleeping schedule. My addiction to using my phone at night is just awful, or rather, was. So I slowly replaced the habit with reading by buying a Kindle. I can say that I've NEVER experienced restful sleep till now. I still go to bed late, but at least I don't bring the phone in the bed. It's helped me in terms of my mood, which fluctuates with my attitude towards my art. It sounds ridiculous now saying this to you, but sometimes I don't want to post because people will be annoyed by me. I am pretty bad a communicating online and I get paranoid that I'm sending the wrong message. I'm trying to work past this hurdle.

For the future of my work, I would like to package sketchbook pdfs for people to buy, posters, and possibly a patreon to put my sketchdumps at full res. and file to purchase. I have a lot of work that gets unseen. NSFW and SFW. I also reaaaaally badly want to finish this one web toons I was talking about. I announce so many ideas I have and then I don't finish them. They're good ideas I swear, I just need to stick with it and get through with it.

Lastly, I want to save for a desktop computer despite these harrowing times in terms of computer parts. I'm working with an old laptop and I fear time is not on it's side anymore. I might need to kick it into gear to do more commissions and push more work out there. I'm looking forward to an art filled 2023. God. Already...

Let me know what you think. If you have any ideas I'd love to hear them.

Have a pleasant week.
