hey, everyone who's reading this by some chance of a miracle! i'm doing pretty fine myself, but also pretty bored. thought i'd write up a journal with how things are going currently.
i've started working on a lot of brand new art for this place, since most of the stuff i uploaded for the first month or so was old junk and really doesn't represent my current skill.
i've been working on practicing polishing up pencil drawings, since I used to do that a real long time ago. it's real time consuming (about forty minutes for this nicely detailed and polished image (http://www.furaffinity.net/view/12108161/) as compared to this image (http://www.furaffinity.net/view/12103651/) which took about ten or fifteen minutes (though i had to deal with almost no eraser available to attempt detailing or proper structuring which contributed to the crappiness)) but it is very helpful to work on improving my skills with polishing these kinds of traditional pieces, since i feel i have a lot more control with some things on paper than digitally (not that i'm against digital production or that i don't believe i'll ever get good at it, i just haven't been able to master it as of yet and it's not nearly as productive as my skills on paper are right now), so i might be doing a lot of stuff traditionally for the next little while. i am looking into getting some fine point pens and maybe some black and white gel pens and nice paper soon, so that i can upload much cleaner looking stuff than what i'm uploading at the moment.
so in short, expect some more polished work from me than those really crappy, super quick doodles i've been posting that look like garbage drawn up by someone who doesn't give a shit.
i've also been thinking about possibly taking requests some time. not sure if i'd be able to discipline myself to get them done so fast, but i am starting to improve my ability to get things done in general, so maybe... i'll post about that another time if people are interested enough in requesting from me. i'm pretty open to a lot of things, including some explicit/nsfw content, and wouldn't mind practicing my own style with other people's ideas.
there's not too much other news that concerns this place. i have established two characters in the past week, gij and that scruffy sheep dude. i'm starting to doodle that sheep an awful lot, so expect more of him soon. other than that, nothing really to talk about.
i also thought i'd take a moment to share some links to where you can also find me posting about shit:
tumblr > http://thisisgij.tumblr.com/
deviantART > http://thisisgij.deviantart.com/
please feel free to follow and interact with me however you feel necessary on these sites.
