Goal at ArtSlam signup: 1 month (i'll possibly be travelling end of june-beginning of july)
Links: i'm a nervous fool about giving out my art urls
Concept: mainly, i hope to be working on things to either: a. keep my (furry primarily, but also nonfurry) art accounts active/have examples for commissions, or b. explore some of the ideas i've been tossing around in my head for years. i'll be primarily working either in watercolor or digital media.
i'd like to work on furry character designs, just for examples not specifically for development of characters/stories, because i've been struggling to get outside of what i think is "respectable" character design which is just stifling. i'm also not really familiar with how i want to approach anthros, because i'm really kinda new to it?? so anatomy and making it look like the animal its based on is going to be a heavy focus there.
i've been vaguely considering taking steps towards making a casual webcomic again, like building up something that i'm not so emotionally attached to that perfectionism takes over, but we'll see. the last comic i did crashed and burned because of me going back to school and it devouring my life.
lastly, and most unlikely of them all considering i'm mainly working on a netbook, i'd like to get back into either recording or streaming my work to put up on youtube, etc. the last recording i did was extremely choppy so it's probably not going to be a thing.
Who is your favourite artist or author? Links?: francis bacon, cassandra complex (RI artist), william blake, idk. i have a hard time keeping track of artists online so nothing comes to mind there.
When did you start drawing? What do you love about it the most?: as a kid, like i don't even remember when, but i got into it more when i encountered The Anime TM in middle school. i like a lot of things about it, like it gives me a way to express myself and get out emotions and concepts, and i like telling stories so comics has always been a thing i've wanted (and done? a little bit?) to do. the things i dislike are i guess more Prominent, which is the amount of energy and how much joint pain i'm in without throwing in working on art, but its literally my job. even if i didn't go to school for it (i wasn't originally going to school for shit) it would still be like the only thing i'd want to do with my life.
What's one thing you'd like to improve in the most over this summer?: tbh i'd like to improve on my ability to complete things, quickly, but well. having a degenerative joint disease is still p new to me and i have lost a lot of my ability to work steadily/continuously now that i am out of school and therefore not Required to.
Have you participated in past ArtSlams? Which ones?: nope, never. p nervous about it.
