Still alive and some updates
2 min read
Holy heck it's been over a year since I last post a journal? Time sure flew by fast in 2020... ^^;
I prefer to keep this brief so here goes;
Forgot to mention that I bought my Wacom One around March last year, been improving more art-wise. Still need to deal with lack of privacy sometimes but adapting to that.
I'm mostly active on Twitter when it comes to interactions and personal updates so be sure to give me a follow there (no minors please).
I'm taking a long hiatus from C(O)M3D2 related stuff. I really need a better computer performance-wise as my current laptop is pretty low-spec with limitations of what I can do currently, so I'm currently saving up $1000 for a new computer.
I have a lot of stuff in my mind both online and IRL so I tend to feel overwhelmed trying to remember everything and be attentive to everyone around me, please forgive me if I forget about certain things too.
I hope to post more post-worthy art again here soon, mostly post doodles on Twitter. Feel free to donate to my Ko-Fi if you like too ♥
I hope everyone is doing okay and stay safe :)

Update
2 min read
Hey everyone, it's been a while since I've been active in interacting and whatnot. First off, happy belated lunar new year.
If you're wondering what I've been up to; I've been busy with Christmas, New Year's Eve, and Lunar New Year (not that I want to but that's life for me having to deal with an entitled mother all the time).
I won't be staying around much on DA so I'll just give the rundown on my resolution for this year:
Future plans:
I'm planning to work on my Patreon primarily acting as a tipjar and include some exclusive art I won't be sharing elsewhere to earn some income and save up on getting a better tablet and computer (it's pretty outdated and inefficient), plus I need to pay bills on the side (keeping it NSFW so no minors are allowed, but I still wouldn't draw explicit art for the most part).
For now, I wanna focus on saving up for a Wacom One so I can bring it around to draw whenever I'm out. With my current tablet (One by Wacom), it's not saying much but it beats having an entitled mother wearing me down all the time for years now. I'm nearing that goal at least (need another $105), next would be a new computer for better output performance that I currently can't.
I'll be accepting commissions soon but should have a commission sheet done first including terms and conditions. For the most part, I'll allow accepting drawing fanart but keeping it tame unless it's your own OC for obvious reasons.
If you want to stay in touch, I'll be around FA and but mostly on Twitter, although I'm not much of a talker nowadays due to how busy I tend to be. Take care everyone.

Thanks for the birthday wishes!

Altho I'm mostly socially active on Twitter than DA/FA, I'd like to to thank the peeps for wishing me on my birthday last Saturday. At least it wasn't on Sunday (like other years) or else I'd get mistaken for a dragon mom or something, haha. Then again, I'm considered milf material now, so... >w>
But in all sincerity... thank you everyone, you're the best!

Made a Patreon now

www.patreon.com/alexbluez
Decided to finally launch my Patreon now, before the new rule kicked in yesterday. I did however made it before but never launched it until now, I can't keep hesitating about it forever covered in doubt of my abilities if I wanna earn the money and call myself an artist, ESPECIALLY if I want to buy better equipment like a new computer to support better graphics and a drawing tablet that I can bring around wherever I go outside and be more outgoing
It's not much to look at right now, I'll have to work my way up from there. Currently it's just a tip jar Patreon, I'll set some rules on what I will and won't draw later on, with Commissions and NSFW art being Patron-exclusive.
I'm open to suggestions to make it work and will implement if I can

Happy 2019!

(Reuploading this because I accidentally deleted it clearing out old journals lol)
Happy new year everyone and hope your holidays have been great!
Sorry for not updating myself for a long time now. I'm not very active when it comes to keeping track of myself that much, I prefer being stealthy unless approached
My resolution for this year is gonna be quite the challenge. My main goals will be:
- Seriously start working on commissions again, no more excuses and hesitating out of fear and lack of self-esteem and thinking my art sucks all the time. I know I've been lacking because of the stuff I gotta do IRL every day and prioritizing other things than art so I need some practice with myself to refresh my strength back with added discipline, even if the kinda effort I make really takes time.
- Save up for a $1000 computer, which is where the commissions comes in even if it takes me a long time to achieve this goal (i3 has it's limits I've been using for several years now, especially for my side stuff like C(O)M3D2 and recording videos. It really frustrates me that I can't record it perfectly and smoothly). Well, the main reason is to play games normally with friends on certain occasions too, but I'm starting to feel inferior comparing myself with other people's. I'm also running short on memory space and my external hard disk is running low too... >w>;
- Try to be more positive and approachable to people again. I don't have time for everyone but I'll try to respond when necessary. I have a busy life with adult responsibilities and obligations after all, so I really don't have the time and mood to deal with drama, especially the ones talking behind my back (you know who you are).
I do hope I can achieve these goals this year, it's no doubt tough but I gotta try
