#this sketchbook is gonna be SO EPIC!!

[indoorscreamingvoice]

abstract stuff i did while listening to tma :-)

lines is most impacted by the corruption and web, with a bit of spiral. blue is all stranger [had SO much fun drawing those janky figures <3<3]

[5t0rm2]

Epic: The Musical has consumed me. Here's Odysseus, loosely based on gigi's version

[its-short-for-jackalope]

Margaret Cavendish and John Herschel, my beloveds <3

I've drawn these two way less often than the twins, so they'll take some practice but I'm happy with these!! they were fun. :)

[keeps-ache]

yay yippee yay :3 🎉

[phantomdecibel]

Emitting a long and continuous high-pitched aaaaa over the fact that I just had a VIVID idea for something I want to draw

But.

I’m currently unable to get started on it. This is slaughtering me it is turning me inside out I am dying. I want this image to exist outside of my head SO BADLY but I can’t yet and now I am in pain.

Send help.

(y e s it was inspired by an Epic: the musical song leave me alone. I’ve been consumed it’s not my fault)

[krabkrab-wontshutup]

MY PRISM BOOK SHIPPED YESTERDAY BTW

expect me to get crazier

[nu1lst4rs]

doodled human designs for a few neutral aus! (pt.1)

(click for better quality)

can you tell i lost motivation... thank you to chandr for doing the last 3's lineart for me. legit couldn't get freshs colours to fit with the rest. eugh. its the best you're going to get out of us for these guys.

Nightmares gang, star sanses, neu au pt.2, extras

COLOUR, CLASSIC, PAPYRUS, EPIC and ANY REQUESTS will be in the next neu au post 3_^ so please please request me to draw neutral peoples... gonna open general requests in a separate post.

some hcs under the cut!

warning for alot... i mean.. alot of text..

> Ccino (he/they)

indian... ccino... mbghbgb. MAINLY BECAUSE I WAS EATING GULAB JAMUNS AND I WAS LIKE "huh this reminds me of ccino."

trans masc! you should be more surprised if someone wasn't trans at this point

just for individuality, i feel like he'd have cat features. toe beans, tail, but no ears. personal preference.

hopeless romantic. wants to fall in love so bad, like so bad. but doesn't have anyone to fall in love with.

his AU is a neutral where the player killed all bosses. because of this, ink had offered them a pocket AU with just their cafè. ccino still visits their old au from time to time, but otherwise lives in the cafè.

one of the youngest AU's/sanses, only a few hundred years old

> error (he/they/xe)

spanish + colombian

as a divergence from classic, he maintains a similar body shape. also the fact he eats nothing but chocolate.

^ similarly, his eye is covered by a star glitch. xe never equates this to the fact they were geno, and just see it as some weird cool glitch.

rocks an alliance with both NM and dream, so wears both the stars pin and gangs patch. he always choses the side of who benefits him the most in that moment. neither of the groups are happy about it, but see error as too valuable to deny.

has arthritis and bad joints. his strings usually dig into his fingers, causing scaring and pain. (bsp related: he gets taught how to relieve these pains by nms gang because they all have chronic pains of some kind)

taking strings from his eyes is PAINFUL. its basically his unraveled code and magic combined, glitching and stuttering.

illiterate. he cannot read anything but code.

brother of ink. annoying brothers that HATE eachother. but love eachother at the same time.

> cross (they/he)

spanish. it fits him. and its relatively canon.

cross is indecisive. they've jumped between nightmares gang and the stars several times, easily being swayed. as of my AU right now, they're with the stars.

they're colourblind! their AU was monochrome, and thats how they see everything. everything is just a shade of purple. he's never told people about it, but most people catch onto ir.

autism. cross has horrible sensory issues, and gets overwhelmed easily. also bad at social queues.

THIS MAN IS THE DEFINITION OF DOG POETRY. they would go on pinterest daily and cry about it.

is a great artist. ink taught him the basics when they were stuck in the void, so they built on it. they're really self conscious about it, and keep their sketchbook locked away tightly. (in their bedside drawer)

> reaper (he/him)

egytpian. i feel like he'd embody their idea of dying.

bird claws. bird wings. everything bird.

seen as a parental figure to dream and nightmare because of his extensive knowledge of the universe and balance n all that.

(THE GAY FLAG WAS A MISTAKE) he's bi. and loves his wife. (life)

aroace spec! completely ace, and demiromantic.

sorry guys i dont have the best hcs for him 💔

> geno (he/they)

spanish + colombian

needs a portable oxygen tube to breath. he can live without it, but its really painful to not have it.

some parts of his body are decomposed, while others are held together through determination. practically constant agony.

same reasoning as error for body shape.

> fresh (they/it)

parasite. its ass doesn't have a race nor nationality.

not the hotest with a few sanses. dream and nightmare don't like someone demeanour not being affected in the slightest by the amount of pain and agony they're in. error hates how the code overlaps and glitches. and overall they're just a bit crazy.

wears either heelies or rollerskates. refuses to EVER walk anywhere, and always rolls.

i don't got much for him.

eugh. i am so sorry if the hcs are lazy, i am not good hcing with aus im not familiar with. if anyone wants to input please do! i'd love to learn about them. <3 anyways i am sleeping because i need to stop staying up till 4am..

[cj-the-random-artist]

I don’t know how I managed to do this in a day.  Like.  I think I pumped this out on pure adrenaline

But again.  If ur at the caption ya probably say the PSA spoiler wall that says that this comic contains spoilers for the Limited Life SMP finale.  Well and I’m tagging this as spoilers so it’d be evident anyways lol.  So I won’t write my spiel about go watch the end of Limited Life and I’ll just say oh my god what a finale it was absolutely epic.  I loved every moment of it.

But yeah.  I sketched this out as one of those “ahh silly goofy doodly sketchy sketchbook comics when I’m spewing a thought into my sketchbook” and then.  My impulsiveness (there’s a pun there.  Is it intentional?  That’s for you to decide) won in the end and this exists now.  It’s not the best quality of anything I’ve ever made but gosh darnit it was so much fun to make.  So so much fun.

But yeah.  Limited Life was absolutely amazing from start to finish and every POV was awesome (but if ya can’t tell team TIES is gonna live in my head rent free for a while lol)

That said.  Enjoy this silly little mini comic I made and have a good day :D

[entityarts]

*Bursts in* Lore for your Phoenix please?

HOW DID YOU GET IN MY HOUSE?!/j

Lol okay. Strap yourself in everyone for my first lore dump ever :]

So, Mystery Phoenix, we don't know anything about their past. That's why they're a Mystery! The End! (okay this isn't the end of the lore dump)

Look at them! Such a silly fella!

So basically when Phoenix was working as a spy worked along with another person named Agent Scarlet. Agent Scarlet has some family conflict in the past so she hopes that becoming a spy would help avenge for her past.

Here's Agent Scarlet. She's slaying too.

Anyways, Phoenix has the talent and is pretty good. A natural if I do say so myself.

They got gold stars for doing good on their mission!!

And now here's Scarlet!

ermm... you look good, Scarlet...! I guess...

So Scarlet isn't doing too good and seeing Phoenix eat up this job makes her jealous. Scarlet expresses her anger to Phoenix and Phoenix does what they can to comfort them because they genuinely care about Scarlet (Mystery fella with a heart!)

TW: Suicide is mentioned

Agent Phoenix is getting ready for work and notices a note left on a desk. The note was from Scarlet saying how she's been in the way of the missions and would finally get off their back for good. Phoenix is in shock believing she committed suicide and it breaks them.

Scarlet: I get it now. I'm useless. I'm useless to you and the missions. I'll get out of your way now -Scarlet

Phoenix: sniff sniff

Very heart breaking. Friends who I showed this to can likely agree.

That's the story before the game starts. While the games goes on it's just completely normal (I only say this cause again, I never played the game nor want to watch gameplay of it because I wanna experience it myself). The only thing that happens in the lore when the games go on is that in IEYTD 3 Phoenix discovers that Agent Scarlet isn't dead?!?!?!

So when Agent Scarlet left the spy business they joined Zoraxis and is partnered with Roxana Prism. This is when Toxic Yuri starts to happen (YEEEEAAAAAHHHH!!!!!)

Basically, Agent Scarlet is attention starved and basically is trying to do all she can do for validation from Roxana. Roxana on the other hand is just trying to get work done.

I have two more important characters but it's all very vague

This lil guy is Agent Phoenix's adopted son. Idk where Agent Phoenix would find him but I wanna make it where the lil guy would be used for a test subject but when Agent Phoenix finds him they pick him up and save them.

This guy is gonna be a butler that helps assist Phoenix and eventually these two fall in love (I'm a sucker for making romance in stories).

Look at these two lovebirds

So now here's the real question. What makes Agent Phoenix... Agent Phoenix? Well don't worry cause I have an answer!

So Agent Phoenix wears this Phoenix pin in secret which explains his invincibility.

Sketches from my sketchbook related to it. I'm aware how light it is. I'm sorry 😔

Then I thought about another instance where Agent Phoenix wants to retire from his spy job but passes the legacy down to his adopted son.

He's such a proud father 🥹

And that's all I have to yap about. The only things about the lore I know isn't final are the parts of my lore that occur in game (main story and characters) cause there may be things I got wrong or a character is mischaracterized.

Overall, I'm happy about this!

Thank you @gr3yyyyy for sharing your hyperfixation with me and thank you to the IEYTD community for being really kind. You guys are sweet and epic! ❤️

[puddingforg]

I’ll give u content to post >:]

1. Which one of your OCs do u like the most?

2. Is Hunter only a shapeshifter or can he also copy abilities like fire breathing? Like he copies the organ that does that function?

3. Are u gonna make a comic about the original story instead of the modern AU?

4. Do u like to answer questions?

5. Are u in any other fandom?

I love ur art btw☺️❤️

Byeeeee

1- definitely Hunter. He’s by far my fav oc, so much so that just yesterday I made myself a Hunter hoodie lmao

Here’s proof lol

2- it depends on how he shifts, for example if Hunter saw someone in the streets and for whatever reason decided to transform into them he’ll shift into what he saw, so if the person had a huge scar on this back but Hunter didn’t see it, then he wouldn’t have it. On the other hand, if he touched that person then he becomes absolutely identical. So if he were to shift into a dragon for example, if he shifted w/o physical contact then he would have to know the internal structure and functions of the dragon (which he does not) that allow fire breathing so he can turn his insides into that. However if the touches the dragon that process happens automatically essentially stealing/copying any ability the other person may have (except for magic, for that he would have to steal that persons soul)

3- I hope to make a webtoon someday :) but rn for tumblr I’ll just stick to the modern g/t au and maybe another g/t au that happens in their actual universe

4- I love answering questions, the thing is that I like to answer them with a drawing if possible so sometimes l take more time than intended lol

5- yes :)) im in loads of ‘em, my sketchbook has lots of fanarts of many shows/ games, tho rn I’m mostly into Epic, Trigun and One piece

Ty for the complement and questiooon!! 🫶🫶

[rumble-aint-a-rumble-without-me]

Hii! Do you think you could do soft!Dallas Winston x female reader that likes art (drawing painting sometimes photography) headcanons please? Thank you so much and it’s ok if you don’t want to do it. ❤️

A/N: I wouldn't consider myself an artist, but I did complete an oil painting class once, and I make a lot of little crafts. I'm more into the non-popular forms of art, like photography and crocheting actually, embroidery too. But yeah! I hope you like these, Non!

If you’re into art? Regardless of what medium it may be, you’re gonna have the perfect muse

All it’s gonna do is feed his ego, but please oh please draw/paint/snap pictures of Dally

He’s got a sharp face shape those eyes, regardless if you’re following the Book!Dally or Matt Dillon!Dally

I love both, personally, but y’know, sometimes people have different, opinions, that’s cool too

But back to the art, he’s perfect as a model, if you ignore the part that you’ll probably have to really try to get him to pose for you

But most of the time? You won’t have to, I think he’s just kind of photogenic like that, especially when he wants to be

After posing for so many mugshots, I think he’d appreciate being photographed by someone who actually cares about him, y’know?

I highly suggest just taking photos of Dal when he doesn’t realize it too, I have a feeling he would make some super epic facial expressions and just have the best look on his face

For example, the face he’s making when he tries to light a cigarette and lighter won’t strike, the smile on his face when he’s standing and fooling around with Johnny, the way the corners of his eyes get a little softer whenever he’s looking back at you

If you weren’t taking pictures of him, he’s gonna try and photobomb your pictures or mess with your camera

He thinks he’s being funny, but he’s really just being annoying, I apologize in advance on Dally’s behalf

But hey, there’s a bunch of other things I could go on about, but I’ve got more art mediums to cover-

If you want to paint him….I wish you best of luck, he can be a little whiny and definitely doesn’t have the patience to sit while paint is drying

My suggestion to you is to paint as much of Dally as you can when he’s willing to sit, maybe end up bribing him with a few kisses and the promise of a date or something like that

And when he doesn’t want to sit? Just work on the background

Eventually, he’ll get bored of not having your attention, he can be kinda of needy like that, and he’ll come back, asking if you need him to sit again

If you’re not painting him, maybe you’ve got a school project or just painting for fun, but Dally will constantly pester you about what you’re doing, why you’re doing it that way, why you’re using those colors with that brush

He’s annoying, alright? I don’t know what else to tell you

But he’s very proud of your work. If it’s hung up anyway, he’s very quick to go check it out, even if that means taking a trip back to school and walking through the hallways

If anyone has something to say about your art, they’d better start running <3

If you just like to doodle? Maybe just use pencils, colored or not?

I cannot emphasize enough how sharp Dal’s cheekbones are and how much fun they would be to draw

Just? *waves vaguely to his face* what can’t you love about that?

An artist’s dream, just look at that face and all the juxtaposition-

But yeah!

Draw him, draw on canvas, draw in sketchbooks, draw in the corners of your notebooks, the margins of your papers, Dally will love all of it

If you draw him something, something small, he’ll tuck it into his wallet, I promise

Will he tell you he did that? Probably not, that’s too cheesy for the big, bad Dallas Winston 

But I’m telling you it’s gonna be there, so just trust me on that <3

[beepsparks]

I was gonna do a ref for Clockenspiel (name me and my friends gave the Epic Mickey Clock Tower to differentiate between the real Glockenspiel at Disney parks and the EM one because we like them both) but I never got around to fully finishing it (also because I would probably over-complicate it) so heres the art for it because I didn’t want it to go to waste.

Credits for humanization go to my friend @moonlitva !

My art in this is kinda eh but who cares. I drew digitally over actual sketches I did in my sketchbook anyway so they look a bit wonky but whatever.

[sarasa-cat]

Feeling behind on EVERYTHING thanks to probably-almost-definitely COVID recovery.

If left to my own devices, I sleep for 13.5 hours all in one go, just dead to the world oh so dead, not waking up for anything. That makes fitting everything else in a little bit difficult.

All that is really left is:

a. Managing the inflammation from low-grade viral-induced asthma which is definitely a thing I have experience with and do not enjoy.

b. Giving my body whatever time it needs to recover which means if sleep is what is on the menu during the best weather of the year (where I am) well, fml, but that is how it is gonna be.

In short, I'm going to be a bit flaky with being online for the rest of this month. Sometimes I will be VERY online as in EXCEEDINGLY online, and then other days I'll be making the best of what time I have to keep Life/Work/Shit moving forward and will probably seem like a ghost.

Low-grade viral induced asthma talk will commence here:

So, it is really simple: many different kinds of viruses can set off viral-induced asthmatic swelling of the airways. After the virus is long dead, the swelling persists. Fun times. 🙃

Normally, these days, if I am in a micro-climate that is dry enough** (I'm not talking desert bone dry, although I do like it, but just Not Perpetually Damp And Moldy), I just let all of my asthma medications expire at the bottom of an overstuffed medical-junk drawer in the bathroom. The only thing I take daily is a cocktail of OTC allergies meds.

When viruses attack --- as in the common cold, flu, etc. --- I dust those bad boys off and get on top of things as fast as possible while also making a point of AVOIDING ANY kind of irritating particulate air pollution that will set it off or make it worse. Cheap wet wood smoke? Neighbor's stank-ass BBQ? Get that shit outta my life.

The better course of action is the slow and boring kind: cancel the next 3 weeks of activities and just let it calm down with inhaled corticosteroids. But, if things get really bad or I am desperate need of immediate relief because my schedule cannot accommodate 3 weeks of doing very little followed by 2 more weeks of regaining my prior-to-attack aerobic stamina, I just break the glass and pop open the steroid step-down pack. Fast and effective, but annoying side effects can also occur.

Right now I have decided that things aren't bad enough for the BIG GUNS and that I can (grumbling grumbling grumbling) sorta afford to be on my ass for 3 weeks. But hooboy, I am not having a good time of it. (Oh, and that, that upcoming 10k fundraiser I had originally planned on staggering through? my participation is entirely, completely, no questions asked cancelled).

What I really want to do is just sit outside in a hot and dry place and let my whole body dry out. You might laugh but I am not joking about the power of that speeding things up. Unfortunately, despite it being august and living in a place that is definitely feeling the effects of global warming, it doesn't get hot enough here to be bathing suit weather under the baking hot sun. But, taking a picnic blanket+basket and a sketchbook to spread out under a tree in a park does sound like a good idea for tomorrow and Saturday (while dressed in long pants, t-shirt, and light cotton sweater).

Anyhow, for now I am taking the SLOW recovery route because I don't have anything forcing me to wage hardcore steroidal warfare on my body, which is precisely what the prednisone does.

But that means I will be flaky because my time is constrained. Some days I'll just say "fuck it" and have a sick day in bed with my laptop or phone and I'll be exceedingly online. Other days I'll make the best of the time I have to do all the adulting that still needs to be done by me, to get actual work done, or to make careful use of energy to (at this pace) inch-worm my way through the epic KonMari of various shit in my house & home-office/studio that needs to be organized.

This is really annoying and not how I planned on spending my august --- which is actually my favorite month of the year! But, oh well. OH WELL.

oh well.

[unhonestlymirror]

Dainų Šventė review:

What I liked:

The procession. People are sincerely happy to see you, people from the windows wave to you, children and adults hold out their hands for you to give them a high five. Feel like a real star.

Free food for participants. We were fed quite well and fast, the food was fresh and tasty, there wasn’t too much of it to fill our stomachs completely and deprive us of the ability to catch our breath.

Free water for everyone!

The view from the stage. When thousands of people raise their hands with flashlights, it looks like a field of stars, the feeling is indescribable.

Singing. I wonder what the viewer felt, because from the perspective of a singer, even you get excited when 12,000 people sing in unison. My favourite is Lietuvos Bruole, it was really epic.

Variety of costumes. An artist's paradise. Although there was absolutely no time, I still sharply regretted that I hadn't taken a sketchbook because I had never seen some ornaments in my life. (Photos from Delfi and LRT.)

Free badges. :D

There were a LOT of people from different countries, there was nowhere for the apple to fall - and the territory of Vingis Park was pretty huge.

The president of Estonia was there to watch the show, too.

Overall, it was a very interesting and useful experience.

What I disliked:

It was really physically tough. 6 months of local rehearsals, three common rehearsals, the dress rehearsal generally lasted from 6 PM until 1 AM - and right the next day, we had the main concert from 3 PM till 1 AM. If the adults all sat under the roof, then the children's choirs stood in the open air - and it didn't end well. Even Delfi wrote that as a result of the rain, 19 children fell ill and were unable to come to the concert. :/ Legs, back, neck hurt very badly, you lose your voice as a result of singing for many hours every day without the necessary breaks - and I was even lucky because many people didn't even have anything to sit on. I always wondered why people looked so sad and repressed on previous years' videos because Lithuanian songs are so beautiful... I think I understand now.

Even considering how energy-intensive it was - we were still forbidden to smile, to wave unauthorizedly, and even turn our heads to the screens on the sides (not during singing). :/ I just find this interesting because even in North Korea, they order people to illuminate happiness during such big events - but here, even if you really want to express happiness, you are not allowed to do that. In fact, during the dress rehearsal, the presenter forced us to re-sing some songs several times simply because some child smiled and waved at the camera - although by that time (around midnight) we could barely stand on our feet, we all wanted to sleep. For me personally, this really kills the desire not only to sing but even to come again. It's the Song Festival, not the Belarus Military Parade...

Unlike Belarus, we wouldn’t be put in prison here if we decided not to go. Maybe. None of us wanted to check, not even my pregnant friend. XD

We were ordered to come at 15:00 - but the procession started at 17:00. Why we were forced to stand for 2 hours under the scorching sun is unclear. There was free water, but you still had to leave your position to get it - and we were too scared to do that because no one knew when we were gonna start moving. I understand that the organizer wanted to add an element of solemnity, but for this, it was absolutely not necessary to slow everything down so much.

The tempo of the songs in general could have been made faster, imo. The audience also wants to sleep, after all.

About a dozen families of swifts lived under the roof, and in my opinion, we ruined their nighttime routine. XD

I hope that everyone who came to listen to us enjoyed the concert because we've put a lot of effort into it. :D

[all-yn-oween]

Y’ALL.

For no reason, I was going through my old sketchbooks from last year and I found ✨things✨ i’ve never shared here because I dont know why XDD

but it’s the great occasion to share them !!! Natm and Boardwalk empire coming!!!

Let’s start with the Natm ones!!!

First thing first, two funny drawings xD Al messing up with Ivan by playing the rasputin song on loop!

Poor Ivan XD… Just wait until Al discovers that you participated in an Epic Rap Battle of History …

And one friend (who cannot see this because she doesn’t have tumblr) asked me during a break to draw Octavius as a fairy— A ✨Winx✨ for the fellow Europeans kdbdkd, and Jedediah as Pikachu XD

So here it is !

Odbdkdbs splendid. (Just realized that Octavius doesn’t even have wings.)

Her: Draw a fairy!

Me: alright!

Also me: *proceed to draw everything but a fairy*

Then! We have some Capoleon with the first appearances of Louis!!!

He looks so shocked XD I find it funny skdnkd

(Also not my drawing, but one day I got one of my best friends to draw Al in her style and look how pretty it is!!!

Im tearing up :’)

One of my attempts to draw Custer… should draw him more often dkdbkdn XD

THEN! How about some OCs???

Prepare yourselves because here is the first drawing I ever made of Nikolai and Étienne, Liden’s OCs xD

Ldndkdnd OMG. Their faces are wholesome XDD

And perhaps Jim and Ivan? :’)

I just realized I won’t have the place to talk about the rest of the Natm ones, so I’ll just do another post for those! XD

Now, let’s see the two Boardwalk Empire that I wanted to share!!!

I honestly can’t remember if that scene ever happened in the real show, but that’s just how I saw their dynamic XD

(and also the scene with Charlie, because why not.)

So that’s all for this post, I’m gonna add the next Natm in a second one XD

[nananarc]

Sharing some vague plans for the future (long rant)

I have some long-term projects in mind that i want to be able to work on for the few years at least. Hopefully i can successfully monetize them and be able to make a living for myself doing what i actually love instead of having to take on a corporate job in a shitty company drawing fucking awful shits for awful people.

- a sporadic comic of the daily life of two women living in Hanoi. It's just gonna be a cutesy lovey story. And it's gonna depict the beauty of an ordinary life in my home country. I plan to release lineart version for free, while colored version with extras will be paid. This will allow me to work on the story faster bt dividing it into 2 phase (lineart and then color later), and also allows everyone to have access to my stories.

- nsfw comics: one shots or short series of sexual stories. I have a lot of stories in mind that i want to work on in the future. Stories of angst and fluff alike, but there's gonna be a lot of kinky boinking. I really like telling sexual stories and drawing sensual arts as you can see, so hopefully in the future i can properly share with yall what i have in mind. This is probably gonna be all paid, unfortunately. Nsfw comics are much harder and riskier to work with, so i need to make a living more out of it accordingly.

- some other slice of life comics from waaaay before: i honestly don't know how they are going to play out, but let's just put them here as a self reminder that they still exist lel.

- in the far future, a fantasy epic graphic novel with my sister: thus is more of a passion project at the moment, and it relies on my sister a lot so I can't really say much about it.

- "a complete dummy's guide to drawing" book that covers everything in the process of making art. I strive to cover all the fundamentals and self learn resources for beginners to start drawing. My goal is to provide a framework of thinking so that anyone can self study for art, especially beginner, making art more accessible to everyone. This is a very long term project and I'm only in the very early stage of skeletoning for it. It will be available for free on a pay-what-you-want basis. There are probably something like this already exist, but from my experience, the knowledge and content is very scattered and illogical. I want to give people a more scientific, logical and easier to follow approach to art. So there will be a lot of textbook formatting and havard citing xD well i came from a business background and i found scientific research methods are really convenient in self study. I have not think of a way to make this more profitable tho, especially when it's such an ambitious and long term project. Maybe I'll put it off for another few years before working on it more seriously, when I'm more financially stable. I'll still be writing notes on it on and off as i have been doing for the past couple of years tho.

- zines of artworks and sketchbooks: i plan on compiling more sketches and wips of the past and future into zines to earn some living money out of it. There will also be themed nsfw arts zines that are exclusive, but this is still a very vague idea that i have not hashed out yet.

- paid content will be either available through one time purchase zines, or subscription. Zines are simple to work out, suitable for oneshots, sketchbooks and tutorials. But subscription requires additional maintenance that frankly I'm reluctant to take on. I'm very much not a social person or social media person, and having to consistently giving creations and engaging with people sounds dreadful to me. It's also gonna be tricky to incorporate nsfw and sfw contents in the same subscription so I'll have to work that out in the future if i want to go this route.

- zines and subscription will probably be priced relatively cheap, as I'll mostly be making profits through volume, at least until i figure out a better fitted business model. Something like 5-15$, with nsfw priced higher.

- experimental art project, for a lack of better word: i have some ideas for some experimental shits, some are mixed media with original music and stuff. It will explore old ideas in a new lense, and also explore Vietnamese traditional values as well. I hope to be able to bring the full experience to both offline and online audience, but that's obviously not possible, so I'll try to tweak it so it will still be fun despite on how you experience it. There might be a way to make some money out of it, will figure it out later as i actually work on it. It's gonna be exciting and weird.

- in a far future, I'll open some sort of art mentorship that is based on subscription. I'll be coaching individual over online meetings and personal mentoring, and this is probably gonna be only 1-2 at a time. This is a far future tho.

- I think I'm gonna have a hard time making a living wage for myself considering how niche i am. All the the above are niche at least to a level. So maybe doing commission as active income is still gonna be main income. Even then my audiences are still pretty niche lmaoo but i digress. For the near future, maybe I'll only work for individual clients instead of company due to creative freedom. Not like there will be a line of company begging for me to work for them tho lel it's the opposite.

- i have always been interested in furry arts but never got to really explore this. You'll be seeing more experiment of my art on this in the future. Furries seems to be able to make money more easily too so that's a good thing.

All in all these are just some points I'm telling myself to work on in the future. It's truly hard to find a career here since no one i know irl walk in the same path, so all i do is just fumbling in the dark as i find a way. Tonight i managed to string a few coherent thoughts together so might as well put them down for future reference.

Sorry if i make it all sounds so money and business, but the hard truth is we are living in capitalism and I'm not born into a rich family. I need to be able to live alongside of actually learning how to enjoy living.

Please tell me if you have any comments or suggestions on this, because i really do need the help ahahahahhaa *crying uncontrollably
