Posting this to state that one of my major things that I'm planning on doing this year is planning on downsizing the amount of characters in my roster.

I've been looking over the finer points of how often I feel engaged or interested in the character designs in my roster and I'm realizing that there are a lot that I picked up that I simply do not have the interest in using anymore.

As such, I'll be setting up a adopt purge of a lot of them at some point this year, once I figure out appropriate prices for them, since some of them will have accompanying commission pieces that I will likely need to figure out if I can even offer up alongside the designs or if it's best to just sell the reference items and nothing else.

It'll be a solid bit of research to figure out, but that's what I've been considering as a result of it.

I'll post the full list and prices in a separate journal once I get things squared away.

Also leads me into a question of what really spells out a important character concept for people. I have a lot of sporadic character ideas that I often put on the board for ideas, but by the time I actually get around to trying to use them, the idea has long since dried up either due to delays in commissioning, or simply lack of follow-up on my part to finalize things. I've been remedying this lately by hybridizing ideas into one fleshed out character concept, which is likely what I should have done from the start, but I'm curious as to other people's thoughts on this.

May help me grow as things go on. I plan to make this a year of personal growth, and mental processing of creative ideas is one of those things for improvement, so asking for thoughts on that.
