I Have Some Goals I Want To Hit This New Year With My Art. I’ve Felt Burnt Out Since I Finished My

I have some goals I want to hit this new year with my art. I’ve felt burnt out since I finished my masters in 2021 and I’ve been really trying to break out of it and I feel like I’m getting to a good place now.

I’m strictly not going to be posting WIPs unless it’s the odd instagram story photo. I feel as though allowing myself to do that has been stopping me from actually finishing things properly, hence why a lot of what I’ve made last year has been sketchy and sketchbook work. I know I’m capable of more polished work but I’m stopping myself from getting there by giving myself the instant gratification of people seeing my WIP posts. I’ve been testing this recently by keeping a lot of my works away from the internet and my craving to be on social media has gone down (healthy!!!), granted this would mean I’m less active overall (more healthy!!!!).

I just want to explore myself this year and find an adventure or two to go on, but mostly work on my career and find what I really want/enjoy doing. I feel as though I want to be able to do everything and it’s draining me. Despite always wanting to go into storyboarding and character design, I’ve found that I’ve barely worked on both areas because of my overwhelming desire to be good at everything. So my big single goal is to focus on one area for a while and then see where it might lead me.

I can’t wait to get started on my plans for 2023 and I hope you guys enjoy what I put out in the future!✨

6. Anything that might inspire you subconsciously (i.e. this horse wasn't supposed to look like the Last Unicorn but I see it)

Always found that one to be an interesting topic to delve into.

This is... the most difficult question I've had to think about. I guess a lot is media from my childhood?

I feel like some part of my art can have recognisable Avatar The Last Airbender inspirations in it. Mostly in like the human body and head shapes? I'm still working on finding a style I'm comfy with I've been drawing furries for too long

Writing-wise, I don't really keep quiet about being The Sonic Kid™ when I was younger, but the cartoons (Sonic Underground and Sonic SatAM especially) and old archie comics really made a huge impression on me and I feel like it seeps through when I make stuff, maybe not too obviously though. It definitely doesn't seep through in my softer mundane art but if I ever think about action-oriented stuff I can probably point out certain inspirations.

If the HBO Max shitshow teaches us anything at all, it should be that when it comes to streaming media, media piracy is media preservation.

Physical media is harder to erase. Download your favorite animated shows today. Burn that shit to DVD and share it with your friends. If the corporations won't produce physical media, it's up to us to do it ourselves.

Streaming exclusives are the enemy of media preservation and archiving. Nothing should be lost just because corporations don't respect the art they own. When piracy is the only option, it becomes vital to pirate, lest things get lost forever.

There are instances of lost media being found again because someone home-taped it. The torrent you seed, the episodes you download, could one day be the only reason your favorite streaming show wasn't lost forever.

Art is being destroyed. Workers are being exploited and abused. And at the end of it all, what's there to show for it? Nothing, because HBO Max is setting the precedent that you can just delete whatever you want, whenever you want, and not even tell the artists.

Animation workers aren't being respected as artists OR as workers, and shit like this is a perfect example.

I've Recently Really Been Trying To Beat My Burn Out By Doing Other Things - Pottery Painting For Example!

I've recently really been trying to beat my burn out by doing other things - pottery painting for example! It's become a bit of an addiction (I currently have 9 various bits of pottery to paint at home 🙈) but really fulfilling!

I'm sure you've all also noticed the jacket I'm painting on my instagram stories if you follow me there - I'll be wearing it as pitfighter Vi at MCM Comic Con in London this year, so maybe look out for me? 👀 Or don't actually, I'm really shy haha!

Anyway, that's my little update. I can feel the creative juices starting to flow again and can't wait for my little break for con in October. Ciao💫
