I haven't really been updating the site because of school (and Elden Ring). Hopefully once I finish my finals I'll be able to continue to update the site. I've been on such an Elden Ring grind. I wasn't expecting to enjoy the game so much!! I'm in Crumbling Farum Azula as I'm writing this, around 50 hours in. I've been exploring a bit since I want to get some stuff ready for a New Game Plus playthrough. Aside from just spending most of my art time working on my art final, it's also been on playing Elden Ring... I'm excited to finish my art final and to be able to post it eventually, though. I've never posted my art classwork, but I think this final will be something really cool to post. I'm almost done with a good chunk of it so it'll hopefully be soon, and on top of that I'll be able to go back to working on OC stuff. I've definitely started to pivot a little bit away from Metal Gear Solid, unfortunately, but I don't think it's that bad of a pivot since I still occasionally draw it. I mostly just feel bad that I haven't been posting, but at the same time it's my page so I don't really care. I'm sure that once I'm able to start drawing casually again it'll be rapid fire art. I also need to go and continue working on the interests sections. Those should be continued after finals too. The OC stuff is going to be slow, but it'll get finished eventually. I want to start drawing comics related to them since I think that'll be cool and a way to get across some of the story stuff without committing to a lot of it. I mostly just can't wait for finals to be over so that I can chill 100% and not really worry about having to get stuff done.
Finished the interests section today (techincally yesterday), so now all I have to do is the writing. I'm glad that I've managed to get the templates down, but a lot of it looks so ugly. I'm really going to have to revamp a bunch of stuff in the future. I think that'll be put on the backburner, though. Getting the writing done is more important, since then I don't really have to do anything after that. The OC stuff is going to be the most tedious. I happen to have a lot of the story planned out and I really want to avoid putting blatant spoilers. I don't think anyone checking out my page would really care that much. But I want to turn it into a real story eventually. I don't expect anyone to really care about my OCs, I just want to put them out there after like 8 years of working on stuff. I have a worse fear of people stealing ideas LMAO, but I don't think that'll happen. I probably shouldn't be putting so much focus on the website when I have other coding I need to do (CS hw...). I also need to actually draw. I feel bad about not posting often on Twitter, but it's also just my account. I can do whatever I want, really, but I do want more followers. That feels really egotistical to say. I don't NEED more followers, but I would like to know that my art is seen by more people. Not really an ego issue, I think. idk if that's egotistical to say too. I do think that I've started to figure out what I like with digital after spending the past few months just fucking around with stuff. It's unfortunate because I feel that the past month or so of my art sucks bad but people like it so it's ok. With posting online I just really care that people like my stuff, even if I don't. I enjoy creating for myself enough to not really care. It's just a weird relationship to have. I mostly just hope that I can have a following for my OCs that doesn't border on having a fandom. It's really something that'll take years to develop. I need to start writing again. Or make comics. That would be a cool tab to have on here... comics of my OCs. That might be fun to do when I don't have anything in mind to draw. I also need to get into zines. I need to start talking to other artists. I hope that I'm able to get into some artistic circles that aren't just mgstwt in the future. This turned into more of a ramble than I thought it would. I started this to just update on the interests section LMAO. That stuff will get finished eventually. The albums are gonna be a hassle since I listen to a lot of music, but I'll like having the collection in the end. Hopefully the site seems interesting, even in this state to anyone visiting. I should make a guestbook or something. That would be cool. It's weird posting online (for the first time) and simultaneously feeling weird at being perceived while liking the attention. I'll get used to it. Already have on Twitter, it's just going to be more weird with my OCs front and center. If you read all the way to the end of this, Hell Yeah!! I hope you enjoy the site and my OCs.
