How's Your Spring Going?

Have you started a new project?

Did you renew a project that was in the works for years?

Did you travel out of state?

Did you revisit a place familiar to you?

Maybe you've just been trying your best to make ends meet?

Maybe you prefer being a homebody living frugally or you like getting takeout?

I try making the best out of this life as best as I can, I try not making life all about shifts at work and art becomes a full-time job if I continue to immerse myself in it without a breather.

When I do clock out at work, I try to make the best of the rest of the day- I would maybe try going somewhere new, like- a café i've never visited or just go home and read a book that's just collecting dust.

I've been playing a lot of DND with my friends- @Jdsy27, @SourCubes, @Bonguy, & (IG) Cosmo_And_Shadow since 2023. Two campaigns still ongoing.

Went to the local Ren Faire this year as "Lady Amalthea" from the animated film, "The Last Unicorn" (1982)

Also my silly aaaa dogs, Cora and Pixie-

I visited my boyfriend @M1roArt, we went to the Atlanta Botanical Garden and just played video games together <3

Played "Super Paper Mario" (AGAIN),

I finally beat the Flopside Pit of 100 trials since owning this game, I just never attempted as a kid due to hearing about the difficulty LMAO

I got into "Epic The Musical" and now the soundtrack is all i've been listening to lately-

It helps me focus on art and became my in shower music-

Projects I've Been Working On

I've been splitting my time into multiple projects- I'll break it down into a tl;dr:

-- I've been helping @DinoDork illustrate their comic series- "Hellion"!!

Check out their pilot that will feature the same characters:

-- Still working with @EugeneDoesArt on work for "Sue 'N' Clark"!!

Read the comic here:

-- Also working on concept art for the next update of my friend @Jdsy27 's game!!

Play the game here:

-- Project is already completed but I was a colorist on a student film called, "Unikid", it has yet to be uploaded but I gladly attended it's first showcase at CSUF. Congrats to this year's graduates!!

--SPM + EPIC storyboard on my free time.

I've been asked a whole lot on how I split my time, and honestly i'm still trying to figure that out myself.

I did realize a few things:

-- Know whats your best work style. I work better WHILE under pressure and deadlines, it pushes me to finish things.

-- Figure out and be self aware your priorities on most important project at the moment to least.

-- Practically everyday I work day jobs, so starting small like working on 15-45 minutes a day on projects is an accomplishment. 5 minutes even!

-- Know your limits, know when you need to stop working on a project and COMMUNICATE, COMMUNICATE, COMMUNICATE!! Your project leader will update you on how things are looking depending on your situation. However, take responsibility and admit when you can't. That in of itself is responsible.

Btw, Happy AAPI month!! I drew some of my favorite asian gals.
