Future Plans - Mid to Late Summer of 2017

It is no secret that things have been a bit dead around here… I think a spider’s building a web on my single June post, and some dust has been collecting atop those date blocks. But I’ve not been dead, I assure you — at least, no more than usually am. In fact, I’ve still been maintaining a presence on my DeviantArt account, here.

As a bit of a resolution, I am going to attempt (and ideally succeed) to increase my activity both on this site and over on DeviantArt. However, I have made the realization that I am probably not yet in the position to be giving out meaningful tutorials. After all, you haven’t seen much of my work on this website. And that’s important, if I’m going to be someone worth listening to when it comes to tutorials.

Good point...

To accomplish this goal, I’m going to make a few changes around here. First, as I stated before, I’m going to cut back on the tutorials (unless there is something that I can really help you with, like working GIMP). Second, I’m going to try to keep my posts shorter. If you can’t tell, I like to be verbose. Being verbose, however, makes posts a bit intimidating when I can only manage to free up an hour of time in a day.

Damn you, day-job!

Third, I plan to dedicate most of my posts to my projects and work (that is, instead of releasing half-baked tutorials). For now, my current projects are limited to a graphic novel — that I will explain a bit more in future posts — and an album of related artwork. The latter will be in the vein of that morbid stuff I usually draw. It will have a consistent style and perhaps some “lore” to accompany it. We will see. The idea is to, upon its completion, branch out into a different style.

Fourth, I will try to write posts about drawings that I am currently working on. I’ll also try to grab some scans of these as I work on them to show you my process. I also want to add color to my work.

See that gallery.  No color.

But the only way for me to really practice with it at the moment is digitally.

I hope you will find some of these things interesting, and I look forward to seeing you in the next post!

Now, about that dust.
