Art

Fleshing out the wiki. Current unpublished version is mostly focused on xenocorpus creation and character creation.
Playing off of that, I am drafting out a short story ttrpg "game". Unsure if it'll ever leave the draft stage.
Haul is ready for thumbs/drawing out the rough. Waiting for client work to slow down before I can give it attention.
In general, I've been making tending to this thing a conscious, regular part of my artmaking practice, even if much of it isn't public currently. The things I play with for this project sets the tone for how I want to approach my work over all.

Doing bigger pieces, honing my style to best fit the medium. I'm trying to take notes from how trad and neotrad uses linework efficiently, and applying that methodology to my own work without loosing what makes the aesthetics of my work distinct.

Toying around with adding some social features to the site. Added a comments section to a journal page to test the waters. Other ways I'm trying to make this space less hermit-y includes updating my 88x31 buttons and hunting for webrings I think this place would be a good fit for. I'm trying to take a sort of indie web approach to this problem.
As always, trying to tweak and improve things.

Working on finishing an overhaul of my brush set, now with Procreate support. Aiming to get it done before fall ends.

Keeping up with working out regularly, which is helping with being able to draw for longer with less injury. This isn't any gym rat convoluted stuff yet but I'm sure that time will come. The goal right now is to stay consistent in spite of an unpredictable schedule.

Thinking about how play and the creative process work off of each other. Part of why I've been making SYOUT a regular part of my practice. This was spurred by this video. In turn, I've been mulling on table top games again.
