I haven't written a log in forever, so, now's a good time as any.
The last few days I've been thinking about my art style lately. Sometimes I feel bad that I mess around with styles so much-- as if my style is so nebulous, it's impossible to pin it down. As a kid, it was the exact opposite for me-- Everything I drew looked nearly the same. Sadly a lot of that art is lost to time though [online anyway. I don't feel like taking pics of it right now.] Feeling kind of bad about this, I finally realized-- there's no reason to really be upset about this. It's not a bad thing-- it's not even a good thing, it's just a neutral. There's positives and negatives which result in a middle ground of neutrality. And I'm fine with that. Sometimes I feel bad about testing so far out of my comfort, but that's the only way I feel I can improve anyway. It works out. No reason to be so sad over it.
In a less super personal note now: There have been quite a few lives I've been interested in...! Well... 3! And I think I can swing the 2 that I don't have right now (bought one of GOATBED/Adapter and it's been a really fun experience!!). I've found a lot of happiness in this lately. Something about watching people embrace their passions so whole heartedly makes me so happy. I hope more bands do twitcasts... It wouldn't be good for my finances, but it works for my heart...!
OC-Tober is coming up in a few days too... Like ArtFight, I know it consumes me for this whole month. I'm looking forward to it and also a bit tired thinking about it... However, like a duck placed in water, I'll swim and be happy for it. Similarly, I probably won't have as much time as I did this month to work on KKPP which is kind of a bummer-- I just realized I have to do a promotional image still for this upcoming dev log...! Good news is I have a lot to show for the month...! Maybe the "rest" (used loosely) will work in my favor. I don't know. I also want to finish the next chapter of 18782-- but it doesn't seem like getting it done before the end of the month is realistic anymore. I also have an OC ref that's all drawn out that's not colored... Ah, I need to get back to things... Lives will keep me going in this trying time...!
