Status update: 1/30

Yo. I just wanted to stop in and make a post, just to let you know I am still around – for the few that actually even read these. Long story short – not much has changed, and I still have not had time to work on anything related to this project recently… but that is just how life is being at the moment. (We had the biggest snow here in almost a year, two weeks ago – and then 75 degree weather less than one week after… somehow.)

In terms of the overall plan, I am currently going ahead (or continuing, I guess) with the “wait and see” strategy – though I am rather doubtful that I will be able to make anything new anytime soon. I do not want to mislead anyone – I have been unable to make anything new for almost a year now… and as mentioned in one of my recent posts here, I am struggling to see much point in getting back into making renders now for various reasons – not just because of that big content gap.

Therefore, I have little choice but to officially abandon my previous two month side render strategy… not that I really managed to hold to it for long anyways – but as of now I am officially dumping it, just for my own sake. From now on, I will simply be posting whatever I make, if/when it gets made… with no set schedule; which I realize says almost nothing, but this seems to be how many artists operate anyway, so… whatever.

I do still want to do/make something – but I do not really know if I will be able to, for one of many reasons. (Severe lack of time/energy lately.) There is… perhaps another option, though… but that is possibly even less likely(?) – I really cannot say for certain… nor will I even say what that other option is. As per usual, we will see what happens.

I should be back next month with some kind of status update; but I cannot really even suggest that there will be any new side renders next month – though I will say that it is not impossible.

Any interest, comments, follows, likes, votes, or support really does help. It is hard to keep making new stuff when nobody seems to care. Following me on DA/slushe/pixiv/twitter/whatever doesn’t cost anything – and that all does help spread the word about my work… so please consider doing some of that if you haven’t already.

Status update: 1/15

Hey again. Sorry for not posting an update this year before now, but honestly there was nothing to say, so I just didn’t bother. I did want to post the update yesterday, but we had the first real solid snow here in 10+ months starting yesterday – which left me with a horrific headache all day long… so that wasn’t going to happen.

My general situation has not really changed, and I have not had the time/energy to really even think about all this too much since the year began. I wanted to put up a new poll, but I have asked pretty much everything at least once by now and nobody really votes anymore anyway… so why even bother at this point. This month is not a planned content month or anything either… but it isn’t like I was really able to stick to my previous plan with all that last year, so I am not sure if that even matters. I should be back before the end of the month with some kind of update, but it will likely just be a status update again.

In terms of my overall plan – I am leaning towards either hanging this up entirely, or possibly having a very limited and irregular/spaced schedule… maybe with massive changes – but as before, this is not yet final. I just see no way to do what I used to do with all this anymore… and as noted previously, I was never really popular or anything anyway – so I can hardly even see much point in trying to get things back on track at this stage. I honestly feel like the universe has been sending me a message for the past year or so… and I should probably go along with that – but again, we will see.
