Updates: Convention, Decaverse, and COMMISSIONS!
8 years ago
Scribbling nonsense all across the board like jaguars leaping from trees of leather bodices encasing aged withered corpses whose eyes dazzle with the light of one million and three silver satellites flying over Los Angeles hiding illegal immigrants from Irish potato farms built atop the golden ruins of El Dorado filled with demonic Ewoks hurling tremendous tankards of tons of Tylenol at the panda bear ninjas that hide around every corner of the magic square building trying desperately to pull up its skirt and set roots on another cubic square inch of the board upon which I am scribbling nonsense.
Two weeks since the last journal with several unrelated posts in the time since then is great timing to post a proper update. Since a lot has happened though I'm going to ball up a few things into one journal so I don't forget things again.
So I got back from Bronycon on Sunday of the previous week. As mentioned previously, this was my first time actually going to a convention for an extended period of time rather than just visiting for a couple of hours. Perhaps I could have done more, gone to more panels and done more meetups, but it was a blast nonetheless, I got to see so many people - artists whose work I admire, friends I've known for a long time, and even making some new ones I hadn't interacted with before. I was worried that I might get hit with depression hard afterwards, but that has yet to really sink in.Instead I'm just angry.
What did happen shortly after I came back though was my friend
marity decided to shut herself off from social interaction on the internet, and in the process of doing so she left ownership of her F-list RP setting and channel, the Decaverse to me. This is something that I've been involved with for a little over a year now but I don't think I've ever made much mention of it on FA, I had plans to post some things but, surprise surprise, I never got around to doing/finishing any of that. The RP side of the setting is currently largely inactive, and managing something like that is a matter I'm not exactly familiar with, but I do know how to manage a story, and since the Decaverse has been in need of some rewriting for a while anyway I'll be trying my best to update the background of the world in as much time as I can manage.
Lastly though, something I've needed to make an announcement about for a while is COMMISSIONS. I'm not going to put all the details here because there's a lot going on here already and I don't think I should throw up a big wall of stuff for commission info too. There are going to be various clarifications to some of my policies, and there are going to be some small price changes in regard to coloring, but the most important thing I want to say is that story commissions are basically always open unless I say otherwise which will presumably only be if I get a large influx of customers all at once. There will be a new journal coming up as soon as possible to explain all of these things in further detail.
