(Just learned that me being melodramatic just might be a me 'ting or at least a 20's me 'ting...Oof)
Cough cough So, its 5 am and just came off of a melodramatic high, and despite not feeling sleepy at all before typing this, I'm slowing starting to the feel the droops, so I'mma try to type as much as I can to the best of my ability before I conk out . I've spent to previous hours before starting this post looking up to see if I'm doing this "whole blogging thing" right, checked around to see if I learn any useful advice, and surveys says:
Turns out I've been going about this whole blog thing wrong! Apparently, I'm suppose to Start a Blog, Turn my Personal Blog into a Niche blog, Find a Niche Audience, ????? then PROFIT! huh...yeah, we all know by NOW that this blog isn't gonna be making bank nor gathering an audience. So, instead of consult the money hungry clout chasing modern internet, I decided to go back to my roots, and looked at the first post I made on this blog which was a list of reasons I started this blog...
Yeah...All these reasons still ring pretty true, I really do want to work on the last one though, I feel like I don't post much of my art on here as I would like. (Granted I haven't drawn anything digital full colored in hot min, but that's a thing for another day). I guess that means I'm the right track with my blog at least according to my own reasons. Looking for advice for my blog made me realize how most blogs went from a space for people to express their true thoughts and feelings to the world to just another place where people just flex and try to make a profit ( like what most social media site have become), that's fine and dandy if you wanna live that life, but this got me thinking of how I could make my blog stand out, I think I might start incorporating more old web graphics from places like glitter graphics, old web find blogs, and the like (especially since my Neocities is still on hold because I need to redo my homepage AGAIN! OOF!). I'm pretty sure you could guess that tho' from my last few post. This also means that my blog is really going to be a space for only me, which is why that whole cultivating an audience is a laugh. But, it's still nice to know that I have a space to completely make my own...
With that out of the way, on to my ramblings about my art stuff...
I've been on a MMD kick for a while now, I've made 4 new models:; two magical girls, an updated self model, and an model of my splatoon OC, I've been debating to make another "Making Of" post or make a digital scrapbook flash thing out of the stories I posted on instagram, just to spice things up because while the model making process is interesting it does get pretty repetitive, at least this way it would be more visually interesting. I also been working on a "flash" comic with my OC models I finally got all the pic taken, now I just need to edit a few of them and put them all together, I found an online program thats pretty similar to Adobe Flash, just easier to understand (at least for me). I really miss the flash visual novels I used to "read/play" on DA back in the early days, so I decided to make my own, while the stories probably won't interest anyone, but me they're still pretty fun to make...
I've also took the time to update my self model, since the old was looking a little bit dusty and stuff, I even made a cute gif with it...
I finally gotten to working on a few render to stuff, I think I've gotten better at using the effects and also took some pointers from editing my sim pics...
I want to work on more of these (might as well since I download ALOT of models). and it helps my DA page from looking so bare while I work on the flash comic.
Other than 3D junk, I've been planning to make a flash comic with an old idea of someone adopting a fairy, that idea was going to be done with paperchildren, but I felt like that was a bit cringe, so I just gonna do it digitally for now. I thought the idea was still going to look cringe on digital but it ended up looking pretty good, like I improved on my drawing skills somehow (its a Christmas miracle)
The drawings came out better than I imagined!!
I really want to do a making of post for my drawings, I don't think I could do with just one single drawing (I could just record a speeddraw for that), but it would probably work better for a project like this, I'll give it a shot (if all goes well, I'll probably make more of these and I'll probably make one for that Boba tea maker dress up game I want to make)..
Oh, I forgot to put this in the mmd section (well, there aren't any sections, I'm not THAT organized...OOF! I wish) I'm making an animation with the It's Too Scary Meme with one of my magical girl models, Wisteria. I just thought this meme really fit with her look, here's what I got so far...
Yeah, that's all I got so far, but its a start, I wanna do more 2D animations at least before the year's out, I think I might just focus on making animated icons and emotes since those are pretty basic (in theory at least) and it would be cool to use my own emotes to use..
and that's basically it for all the art stuff I done in the past few weeks, I want to update my IRL art log, and work on some IRL pages for my animal crossing section in my journal (but my desk is a bit of a mess atm), and work on my actual AC blog. It's just so hard to play Animal Crossing AND blog about it in the same day, SOOO much stuff can happen man like geez! but typepad does have the past schedule post thing, so I can make it LOOK like I posted on the blog daily while playing, I mean it's not like anyone's going to know and if they do would they even care all at much, I mean you try to run an AC blog and document all the happens in your game daily OOF!
Other than that, typing this post did make me feel good, while I'm most likely working on art stuff, I usually dont post about it because there's still a part of me that thinks blogs are suppose to be for IRL things, or the IRL post are the most important post on a blog, but this is MY blog and art is a subject I care alot about among various other things that don't require going outside the house like making sweets, video games, books, and movies. I want to utilize this blog more so I'll have something to look back on later in life, also I think having this blog lessen the sad boy hours of my life by a ton (also its a great excuse to make/use old web graphics )
Until next time....
