I probably won't keep it, I see no indication the userbase would like my art style, but I do like putting things together like this; tj-caris.tumblr.com/post/10929…
Final Month
If you like take this next month, for however long it's 2023 somewhere, to make any last requests or commissions from me. If no one wants anything I'll finish one more Helena picture and finish some abandoned WIPs, but if people do I'll leave it open until the New Year rolls over and spend whatever time it takes to get through it. I do reserve the right to turn it down if it bothers me too much. I will keep the gallery up, though I can't promise anything about dA itself. I figure I'll be back someday, but I'll be doing something else. Either this will shift to a fanart account or else I'll be doing something that's not drawing. (not prompting, not that.)

Very early into the first art class I ever had the teacher took what I was working on and made a point of showing it to the class while telling everyone that it was an example of "what not to do." I don't really think that was exactly incorrect, but it seems fucked up to do that to a young high school student - not entirely sure if that was freshman or sophomore year. Took around a decade for me to try taking another art class and the main things I got out of that one were that pastels and charcoals are not exceptions to the fact I hate having grubby hands and physical paint stumps me worse than digital. Honestly still surprises me when anyone wants something from me, be it request or commission. I think for the time and effort put in I'm surprisingly awful, I constantly have to erase entire errant lines on the computer. Hell, when I see an indie video game with art that I feel I could probably match I tend to react "No, if you want people to pay for your product get an artist better

Ever feel like you've kind of given yourself too much to do? I feel like I'm always forgetting just how long everything takes. I want to get those Estella pictures colored and finished and move on to the next character, but I also have some fanart I want to do - the unfinished/not-detailed picture I asked for feedback on and got Starfire, like Biker Babe Zelda based on Age of Calamity DLC, Fire Force's obvious pick, maybe a Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy from the Hulu show, and some more. I also want to get some sequences done for my SFW account. I've been writing more or less everyday and I might share a site for it soon, but I'm a fairly slow typist and revising is a long process in its own write so I don't know if that would be truly soon by most standards. I would also like to go back to commission work too, but I'm honestly not sure how to find the oldest conversations and figure out who still might want anything to do with me after I had a long bout of burnout followed by 10 months
'Suggestion Box' results
So this was a little odd to tabulate, and then I got a couple late responses - thankfully they were simple dedicated comments and I didn't have to go tabulating splits at the end. If I go by how often topics were mentioned I get this: lift – 4 workout – 1 speed – 4 breaking – 9 balance - 2 contortion - 0 domination - 6 lethal – 5 Ehh... nonsequiturs - 5 However, some people brought up two or more things and it seems kind of unfair to just count everything as a full vote, so once weighted there's something like this: Lifting: 2.5 Work out: 0.25 (Biggest surprise, that Lisa pic did well and I was into the idea of drawing Lana doing 1-handed push-ups with a bus on her back. Oh well.) Speed: 2.75 Breaking: 8.5 Balance: 0.75 Contortion: 0 Domination: 4.5 Lethal: 5 Off topic: 5.75 - one of which was just generic praise. On either metric breaking things just ran away with it, and I'm making myself take a stab at a car for it, but it might be a little bit before I'm

Tumblr is great, though unlike DA you can't gauge it by comments and such. It's also a good idea to protect your work and make sure it has your name on it somewhere (and perhaps a link back to your DA gallery). That way no matter how many times your work is re-blogged it'll always lead right back to you.
I have a tumblr as well chasermcg.tumblr.com/
