I'm Back!

1 min read

Now that I've got a working tablet again, I'm itching to draw again! I have some old pics in the works and tons of pictures I want to do, but I want to do some fun requests first to get me back in the groove! Fanart only, no NSFW, and nothing too complicated! Stuff I've heard of preferred! XD I'll do up to 15 pics total between Tumblr, Deviantart, and Twitter/X!

It's been a while since my last journal!  I spend most of my online time at Tumblr and Archive Of Our Own, but I'm trying to put in more of an effort here, starting by commenting on old gift pictures I hadn't and responding to old comments.  If there's something you want me to see, let me know and I'll look at it immediately!

Christmas was great and surprisingly full of Pokemon!  Among other things, I got a Jigglypuff plush, a Jigglypuff drink container, a Jigglypuff t-shirt, a Mew t-shirt, a Pikachu 3DS holder, and Pokemon Sun!  Yay!  =3  Let's face it, I'm a big Jigglypuff fan, and everyone knows it!  XD

And now for this year's edition of "Looking Back and Looking Forward"!  =3  This year, I drew a whole lot of Pokemon!  I also attempted some art challenges on Tumblr, one of which I finished and one I didn't.  I also worked on special effects, which is one of my favorite things to work on!  =3  Not seen here, but I've also been getting back into fanfic writing.  I wrote a few fics in 2015, but in 2016, I wrote quite a bit, especially Sterek from Teen Wolf, and I plan on continuing!  I never did succeed at the 2 pictures every month thing, but this was the first even year that I made an art summary and all the months were filled in.

For 2017, I plan on continuing drawing and writing!  I will draw something every month, and write most months, if not all, but I won't be trying for a certain number of things like I have in the past.  I'm also looking on branching out and drawing things other than Pokemon and writing other than Sterek.  Don't worry, I won't stop drawing/writing them, but I want to do other fandoms, too!  I have to draw more humans, darn it!  XD

Hope everyone had a great holiday season and has a great 2017!

Well, I haven't written one of these things in like forever! 

Florida Supercon came and went!  I met William Shatner, and Tara Strong signed my Twilight Sparkle art and said I was talented (~squeals~).  And I met up with 2 friends there as well, ran into another, and visited my mother-in-law and other places I always go to when I'm in town.  Definitely looking forward to next year's convention!

I've started Pokemon Go!  I downloaded it a couple of weeks after it came out here in the US.  I'm level 6 or 7 (can't remember if I got enough EXP to go over or not), and I've got 19 Pokemon in my Pokedex!  I joined Team Instinct!  Any other players among my watchers/visitors?

Best of all, I did a Pokemon Go art challenge on Tumblr, which skyrocketed my artworks this month to NINE!  I've never done nine pictures in one month, so I am super proud!  =3  I doubt that will happen too often, but it proves that I can do it!  =3

I want to draw something old school next month, but I'm not sure what...  Stay tuned to see what I choose!  XD

On to February!

Wow, January is already over!  This year is moving fast!  And I'm really proud of myself for doing 3 drawings in January!  Hopefully this momentum will last all year!  =3

I'm doing two Valentine "Secret Santa" events this month, and I want to do the other two special (and late) gifts, as well as a regular ol' Valentine's pic.  Let's see how much I can finish this month!  I've got two fanfics in the works as well!  When I finish all that, I'll open commissions again, most likely in March.

I don't know if I've mentioned it before, but I love Pokemon Shuffle so much!  It's a free game on Nintendo 3DS!  I hope Jigglypuff gets put in it eventually!  =3

Another year, another "looking back and looking forward" journal!  I drew a lot of Pokemon, fish, and other animals in 2015, so I guess I worked on that, as well as crazy special effects!  I do love crazy special effects!  XD  I didn't do very well on my hope of doing 2 or more pictures a month, but hey, at least I did something every month!  This year is gonna be the year, though, for 2 or more pictures a month!  Actually, I noticed that on even year art summaries, I have at least one month with nothing in it, and on odd years, I have every month filled in.  Hopefully this year will break that trend!  ^^;;

I've managed to finish 1 of the 3 special gifts I have planned and 1 of the 5 Secret Santa/Valentine (ish) gifts so far, and I'm working on another Secret Santa.  Only 3 of the Secret Santa gifts are drawings, though.  I've been enjoying getting back into writing!  Mostly, I've just been writing cute, sappy little slash fics. 

Did everyone have a good holiday season?  I did!  Gamewise, I got Happy Home Academy, Yoshi's Woolly World, and Super Mario Maker!  Hopefully soon I'll have some levels for people to try, as well as my New Leaf Dream Address!

I haven't opened commissions in a long time, and I had someone inquire about them.  Hopefully I should have commissions open again by February, March at the latest, depending on how fast I finish all those gifts!  =3

Here's to a great 2016!
