Conventions

So before going to Ravencon this past week, I was able to make new buttons and button displays for my table (pictured above). They actually did pretty well so I think I’ll be designing a few more before TWCC next month (I say next month, which is technically true, but... it’s only two weeks away 0_0 !!!)

Ravencon itself was awesome! My neighbors were great and I met a lot of cool authors and artists there! Plus, received a bunch of awesome commissions! (pictured at top)

Folk Knight

Last week... wasn’t kind to Folk Knight T_T. I was planning on posting a new WIP video to YouTube with speedpaints of both Troy’s bedroom background and the school exterior background only... I wanted to start over on the school. CAUSE THAT’S THE INSANITY I LIKE IN MY HOUSE. Ugh, I do this all the time. I’ll start something, sink a couple hours into it... and suddenly realize it’s not working for me -_-; 

Anyway, I start over on the school, I’m set back a day. Then, my computer starts blue screening... GREAT! I’m behind another day. As time kept pressing on (as it just loves to do haha) I realized I wouldn’t be finishing the school time lapse vid before Ravencon and I needed to focus on my con prep (this is also why I didn’t get to making a journal last week -_-;). But I’m glad I did! That’s something I feel I need to work on, recognizing when to let something go and move on, especially if I have the option to come back to it later.

Well, here’s what I did on the first version of the school:

and here’s the second version WIP:

There are a few reasons why I decided to start over and make changes and I’ll address them in the next WIP video when I post that. 

Next Week

Cooooooon Preeeeeep. Seriously, though, TWCC and Animazement are going to come up super fast so I’ll be spending most of my time getting ready for those. Apart from that, I have some commission work I need to do and it would be awesome if I could get that new video done!
