Anyway hi y'all, it's been a while since I've updated this journal, even though I keep jumping back on here, throwing art up, and then bailing, lol.

So as I've mentioned in my recent drawing that I finally got a new tablet with working pressure levels. To be more specific, I got a Huion H610 Pro Graphic Drawing Tablet (8192 pen pressure levels version). Already, it's a massive upgrade over the VisTablet I've been working with for years, which had...zero pressure levels, despite claiming otherwise. 

I'm hoping I can improve my art and maybe draw more of it now, since before, drawing digital art was a chore, what with me drawing these gross lines and then having to hack away at those lines with the eraser tool until it looked smooth or like a decent "stroke," so in practice it was more like I was sculpting drawings than actually drawing. 

That said, after years of doing nothing but that, I find it's a hard habit to break, now that I have to actually learn how to properly draw strokes on a tablet. I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing, but it's definitely a relearning process.

On note of art stuffs, just a reminder that I still have commissions open, if anyone is interested.

I really need to do a better job of keeping multiple sites updated, hah... :U

Expect a very brief dump of some art, lol.

Time really has flown by. Feels like January was only yesterday and here we are nearing the end of 2017 already. 

I wasn't as productive as I would have liked to been, or consistent, given that I keep kinda dropping the ball on keeping my art updated on various social media (whoops...), but, well, I'm trying my best, I guess. 

Hopefully in the upcoming year, I will finally get a job, with some help from a disability agency or something or other. And with income, I'll be able to save up money to get stuff that I want--a Nintendo Switch and a PS4 first, because...my brother and I don't have them despite buying both Splatoon 2 and Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy for them (lol) and we're kinda desperate to rectify that as soon as possible. And then after that, hopefully, a new tablet to replace my cruddy old one I've struggled with for years, pfft. Maybe when I get a tablet that actually has working pressure levels, I'll be able to work a little faster on art, without having to erase and correct lines to make them look neater and more like actual strokes...a little faster, anyway. I think I'll still be something of a perfectionist when it comes to that.

And then maybe things will calm down a little around the house. If I finally have a job, my mom should theoretically stop complaining about me doing nothing and not contributing to the house and all. Hopefully, anyway.

Anyway, wish me luck, I guess. I'm really going to need it.

I need to interact with the art community again, so...here's a thing that's going around again. Why not?

The first fifteen people to comment on this journal, I will put their avatar and the three deviations I like the most from their gallery on the list! If you comment, you have to make a journal like this and do the same thing, putting me in the first spot.

The idea of this is not to get a free feature, it is to spread art around for everyone! If you don't re-do it you will be taken off the list!

Just figured I should update my journal.

I miss the old days a lot. It was so much easier to make friends and be part of a small circle or community of friends back then. Now everything's all awkward and everything feels so distant, and it just doesn't really feel like the home I used to know.

I need to interact with the community again, somehow. Going to try reaching out and talking to people more--which is kind of really hard and anxiety-inducing, but...gotta try, right?
