Art/Life Update

Posted 1 year, 8 months ago by Boyfriend

Hey folks. At the beginning of last month I started getting my mojo back for drawing consistently which came to a crashing halt when my mom got diagnosed with cancer 3/4 weeks ago. I left a lot of people hanging on art fight and I have two commissioners waiting on work from 30 days ago. I quit my job and am spending my time between employment just gathering myself. I’m genuinely sorry for everybody I’ve let down this past month, and my complete inability to communicate when crisis hits in my personal life. I received multiple incredible pieces on art fight that I had big plans for but have to push back until I finish the commissions owed, I still intend to attack back. Thank you all for being so wonderful and understanding.

Here: https://artfight.net/~575pfe I have some new charas to upload. I’ll be revenging people, probably not attacking first. Cross fire okay!

Taking one commission

Posted 2 years, 1 month ago by Boyfriend

Short on bills this month 😔,

Notion Character Profile Template

Posted 2 years, 5 months ago by Boyfriend

Hi all! Long time no see. I've been getting my ducks in a row for a new webcomic. I've been organizing everything in Notion to keep me on track. I made a template for character profiles to keep them consistent! I wanted something concise with directions throughout each part so I don't lose track of what I'm supposed to write about. I've been narrowing down this info for a couple years so it's all the essentials without anything too bulky, wordy, or unnecessary. No credit required! Feel free to edit this to your hearts desire. You can copy and paste this into a word document, notepad, or here on Toyhouse if you don't use notion!

Informal update because I’m at work. I fixed my CSS and my bulletins are legible without a ridiculous amount of HTML added to each post. My CSS comes from rigorous editing of neopets pet pages from back in the day.

My commission progress:
No update since last draft for Aarix
No update for Raven
1/2 Quid commissions done. Number two has first sketch completed
Thumbnails and Comp completed for Hej (traditionally), moving to a digital medium

I will PM any major updates to my commissioners for each stage completed (Sketch, Lines/Flat Color, then completion.)

I had a bad work injury on my drawing hand and almost lost my ability to draw. It’s motivated me to find time to draw again. I’m mostly healed but I have some incredibly disgusting pictures to share lol (Unsettling Wound Image, please proceed with caution)

Whoops

Well... it's not that bad, not COMPLETELY off, just a good huge chunk of muscle and skin. I was making food Sunday morning and sliced into a very important finger. None of the emergency rooms in my area take Medicaid (much love for the private hospital system) so it's been held together by paper towels and industrial packing tape for the past couple days and the skin is finally sticking back together. Along with an infected wisdom tooth and /other things/ I've been so miserable I've been working at a snail's pace. I keep making time frames and pushing them back, I sincerely apologize for the trash fire that is my end of things right now.

I'm typing again! (I've been so miserable I kind of just gave up on communicating my b), so I'll be replying back to people slowly! But my range of motion with drawing is lacking horribly and I can't concentrate long through the pain. I finished sketching for Pippa and Aarix. I'm halfway through Ley's sketch, and I haven't started on Quid yet. I'm holding a spot for Hej after Quid.

I got a job that I start next week! Commissions will no longer be a financial obligation and I'll be closing them soon. I'll finish 15 commissions before I close, including the ones that I'm doing right now. You do not need to pay to reserve a spot. However people that pay before you will be bumped ahead of you. When your spot comes up I'll message you, and claims that go unpaid for 30 days after I send the "go ahead, I'm ready to start drawing" message will be removed.

Currently my spots look like this (claim = unpaid):
1. Pippa
2. Aarix
3. Ley
4. Quid
5. Quid
6. Hej
7. Scirocco (Claim)
8.
9.
10.
11.
12.
13.
14.
15.

My rates are here: https://toyhou.se/~bulletins/156614.standard-commissions , you can claim via DM, or comment below or on my commission bulletin. I really want to do scenes! I'm really underselling myself for my scenes and backgrounds because I really want to do awesome work that expands my portfolio (I'm talking about atmosphere, lighting, perspective, the whole shebang).

My personal email is [email protected] and my discord is Dakota#7971 if you need an alternative way to contact me! Discord and my email are the only two apps (outside of my text messages) that send notifs directly to my phone so I'll be timely with communication!
