It's the 26th and I'm typing this out and my head feels like it's going to explode when I think of all I want to get done and I haven't. I don't know how much I'll get done with NaNo in the next four days, but it's not looking good. Still haven't picked up a pencil except to write stuff down. But that still hasn't stopped me from dreaming and I've been thinking and having lots of hope for next year. I've got all the stuff amassed on or around my desk of the stuff I want to get done before the end of January. Things are falling in place where you may expect to see more digital art from me and more of an online presence. I'm prioritizing again, and still realizing the stuff I do with my closest family and friends are the most fulfilling.
Next time I post to this blog, it will be a New Year, and I'll have a new format to this State of the Projects. I hope to post a lot more art-wise to social media, well, at least to Tumblr and maybe turning my G+ profile into an "official" artist page or something. I don't know what to do with Facebook, though it could also be useful as an artist profile. If I look at it like that, then maybe social media will be less draining to me. I've been using the Internet less and less because it feels like... shackles. I'm not the kind of person to have a lot of friends, preferring to stick with a handful of close besties (they know who they are~) and eventually I get overwhelmed when I feel there's a bunch of acquaintances expecting me online all the time (or I'm expecting myself to be polite and give them as much attention as I do my closest friends) when... well... now I probably sound really harsh. XD I'm just getting a social burnout. Being around too many people has always made me nervous and uncomfortable. I don't want them all to follow me home. I want to spend my free time with the people I'm closest and most comfortable with and doing the things that make me the most happy and feeling productive, and I'm just getting stressed out from being too nice all the time. I want to be nice to people without being trampled or pressured. ;_; Ugh, this turned into more of a personal journal than an art blog post. But it's just pouring out as I'm typing this. I don't know if this makes me a horrible person or what, since I basically said I want a bunch of people to leave me alone, even get out of my life, even though they didn't do anything wrong. But yeah.
So over the next month, I'm trying to use this re-focus so I can restart next year. More art, more professionalism, and more time with the people who matter most (family and closest friends.) Oh, and more Pokemon, H!P, and other hobbies as fun and not as an escape.

I'm typing this out early since I don't know when I'll get on my laptop next (I've mostly been using my tablet, and I'm still not super at typing on it.) Still no real headway on my art and writing projects, though I've made a little bit of headway in life (I got my learner's permit!) Over the next month I still intend to work on my goals while working on commissions, as well as layout my plans for NaNo (I really can't escape from it.) I still want to get as much done as possible this year so I can feel fresh in 2014.
But the new Pokemon games are sneaking up on me... I'm going to need a lot of self control come the twelfth.

Not too surprising, but I'm still slacking on my art projects. :( Work's been great, though! It's a little scary, but I even think of my job on my off days, so I think I've really been enjoying it. But I do want to get back on track with my art, so I'm going to reorganize my room and see if that energizes me. At least I'm working on commissions, so I won't get rusty~!
I actually thought of a new novel idea, too, taking place in Victorian times (considering what I've been reading during my free time, it's no wonder), so that will give me something to think about for November's NaNo. It's like these story ideas just show up unannounced and don't even wait for the other guests to leave...

Okay, nothing from my projects was completed last month... but I got a job! I can't get much slower than I've been without a regular job, so as I settle into my new job, I'm hoping I actually get faster at putting out more artwork. I'm hoping this job energizes me!

I mostly finished commissions this month, but I did get a little bit of my own stuff done. 2 and a half pieces, so I feel disappointed in myself. But it's a new month, and I have new plans for myself, one of which involves me putting most of my effort into getting a "real" job so my art doesn't continue to drag me down into a feeling of failure. But this also means I'll be getting rid of the red and green highlights for the projects, and this monthly column will just be a way of saying what I managed to get done in my free time. No more worrying about, "Did I do all 50+ artworks I planned to have done by this time of the year for this project?" I'm just going to work on what catches my whim at the moment (but still work on the stuff I'm doing for others, no worries, guys.)
By July, I hope to be posting on all my blogs on a regular basis, and updating my dA with inked and my very best penciled artwork every week. And I want to update The Dark Writers every week, since I'm so far behind on that!
At least my colon is ahead of the game and has achieved a sort of regularity recently! Yay!

So where did all that energy go? Not into productivity, that's for sure. It's still there, keeping me up all night with an active heart and then I end up oversleeping the next night due to exhaustion. Darn it. I do plenty of thinking, but then I end up not doing it. I'm depressed and more urgent than ever.

Totally sucktastic last month. I couldn't focus at all on art.
But something kicked my butt into overdrive mode, so if I don't go crazy and burn myself out, expect A TON of updates next month. I'm doing Camp NaNoWriMo, I want to get that collaboration started, I want to fan a ton with Morning Musume fanart, I want to sketch sketch sketch, I want to get a chapter of one or two webcomics done,I want to read all the Sherlock and Raffles stories I can, I want to work on all my other stories, I want to blog until you're sick of hearing me, I WANT TO GET THE DARK WRITERS BLOG RUNNING AGAIN (I'm been feeling terrible about this, since I don't want it to look like I've been insincere about wanting to make it a thing again), I want to clean up my room, I want to take care of the stack of papers on my desk and all the stuff creeping around my desk... I want to do A LOT! Time will get in the way of a little bit, but the human body under pressure is an amazing thing, and I want to prove to you guys and myself and I don't want to get stranded with a unfulfilled legacy and at my current pace nothing will get done, so I have to work like it's all going to end at any time in the near future.
By the way, on a random personal note, I got a little Pants figurine as a gift on Friday. He is absolutely delightful and Big!Pants immediately took to him.

I'm doing Camp NaNoWriMo, I want to get that collaboration started, I want to fan a ton with Morning Musume fanart, I want to sketch sketch sketch, I want to get a chapter of one or two webcomics done,
By the way, on a random personal note, I got a little Pants figurine as a gift on Friday. He is absolutely delightful and Big!Pants immediately took to him.

State of the Projects - March 2013
It has been another "meh" month. Not much in the way of drawing, but I did get some things inked and a tiny bit written. But most of the "written" part was just blog stuff, so I'm still behind on my stories. Oh well, this month and the next, I'm giving up a lot of recreational activities (like anime and most idol blogs), so I'll see how that works out. Like forever, I haven't reordered the projects since there really hasn't been a point.
Major Projects
1.) Hellhoney - One drawing, a part-formed sketch, more details added to a comic page, and seven inks. It hasn't really been going over well on dA or Tumblr, but then again, my Pokemon fanart hasn't either. Time to get my butt in gear with the webcomic and give people a reason to care. (Don't worry, Meshia, I know especially you care, since you're always after me for this project in particular! I'll get back to work on it! XD )
2.) Minervellas - Nothing.
3.) The Fart Eaters - Nothing.
4.) Power Warp - Nothing.
5.) Toilet Spawn - Nothing.
Minor Projects
1.) QT Crawlies - Yay, a project that more people care about! I completed five inks, and I'm ready to draw and ink more!
2.) Mervscorn - Nothing.
3.) Plush Illustrations - Nothing.
4.) Hobo Story - Nothing.
5.) Zodiac - Nothing.
6.) Random/Silly Calendar - What's this... green?! Four inks means I completed my goal for this project through February!!
7.) Optimizzy - Nothing.
8.) Super Popcorn - Nothing.
9.) Birds - Nothing.
10.) Pantheon - Nothing.
11.) Pin-Up Calendars - Nothing.
12.) Faeries - Nothing.
13.) Random/Original Art - Nothing.
14.) Playing Cards - Nothing.
15.) Tunnels and Elevators - Nothing.
16.) Game Levels - Nothing.
17.) I'm A Bug?! - Nothing.
18.) Coloring Book - Nothing.
19.) Tutorials - Nothing.
Collaborations
0.) The Dark Writers - Nothing, darn it.
0.) Collaboration with Meshia - I wrote a little!
0.) Illustrations for Rica - One full drawing, little scritch-scratches on others.
Fan Art
- Pokemon - Three inks. I'm not sure if anyone really likes the Corruption Series.
- Idols - Nothing.
- Other Fan Art - Nothing.
Sketchbook - Nothing.
So in short, this month blows, and I've got to put more effort into next time.

State of the Projects - February 2013
So much for starting the year off with no red. I'M SEEING ALL RED. ;_; Well, I did get some stuff done, but it's just so small an amount, I'm ashamed of myself. I don't really know what to say (maybe because I'm tired.) I'm going back to only using the computer once a week, since that seems to help a bit. I won't reorganize the projects since I didn't post anything. I'll have to redouble my efforts. Because I don't want to get Force-choked.
(Did anyone else understand that or is this amusing only to me at seven in the morning with twenty-four hours of no sleep.)
Wahahaha... boohoohoo...

0.) Collaboration with Meshia - Nothing. :(
0.) Illustrations for Rica - Eight drawings and another one half-finished.
Fan Art
- Pokemon - I did one silly little illustration and two from that series I mentioned. Not inked. I also finished two Pokemon drawings I had sitting around for two years, because I finally found reference material.
- Idols - Nothing.
- Other Fan Art - Nothing.
Sketchbook - Nothing. Every time I think of something to draw in the sketchbook, I decide to just do it as a full drawing instead. ;_; I make the decision before I've put the pencil to paper, so it's working the opposite of how it's supposed to (ideally, I would sketch a lot of ideas and then pick the best to turn into drawings.)

Sketchbook - Famine and Death
This week I have the other half of the Four Horsemen combo from Hellhoney. This was drawn around the same time as the other two, which was months ago. Luckily I still have some old sketches to keep this column rolling while I draw up another pile of sketches!
Remember how I said I liked drawing curvy girls or downright obese people over super skinny figures? Well, here's a drawing of a skinny villain so it doesn't look like I'm picking on one body type. Famine is riddled with parasites and you can practically see her organs throbbing through her skin, but she still thinks she's hot stuff among this group of bullies-turned-evil-threat.
And finally the inheritor of Death's horse, the Queen Bee of the group. She's very pretty and smart, but got mixed up with the wrong crowd due to teenage insecurities. Due to the crowd she hangs out with, though, she has a low opinion of humanity in general. But unlike the other three, she could probably turn out to be a nice person if she just broke away from the low standards and meanness of her clique and mingled with other people.
Next week I'll try to have some mermaids for you to look at!

State of the Projects - January 2013
Aaah, a New Year, a new start! I pretty much said my intentions regarding this year in the last State of the Projects, so I shouldn't take long here.
In short, I have three planners I'm working from (I received another one for Christmas!): the 2012 Planner, the 2013 Planner, and then Another 2013 Planner which combines the two, making a Bare Minimum for me to complete each day. I probably shouldn't tell what my bare 'minimum' is, since I'll probably get yelled at. If I get the bare minimum done, then I'll go to the 2013 Planner. With that done, I'll go to the 2012 Planner. Every week I'll upload what I have inked to dA (except for things that must be posted elsewhere, like comics and Dark Writers stuff.) At the end of the month, I'll reorder the priorities to reflect which projects are received most favorably. It's time for me to set things right this year!
In the future, I'll green the titles that I'm on track with and red the titles I'm behind on. I don't want to see a lot of red this year on these posts!
Major Projects
1.) Hellhoney - Still working on the comic and hoping it will debut this month. I have some more illustrations planned, too!
2.) Minervellas - Still working on the novel and photocard illustrations.
3.) The Fart Eaters - Another novel I'm working on and there's a few illustrations planned, too. And a short comic!
4.) Power Warp - The comic and illustration sets are still on!
5.) Toilet Spawn - If the guide starts rolling along, maybe it won't sound so flat and uninteresting. And trading cards!
Minor Projects
1.) QT Crawlies - I actually made a dent in this series last year, but there's a comic strip and more illustrations to come!
2.) Mervscorn - Comics and watercolors are planned for this series.
3.) Plush Illustrations - Meet my fluffy friends as they do cute stuff and teach about my pet peeves!
4.) Hobo Story - Inked story pages will be posted to The Dark Writers blog and if it gets a following, I'll color it!
5.) Zodiac - Still working on each sign.
6.) Random/Silly Calendar - I don't have much left to do on this one, so I better get my butt in gear!
7.) Optimizzy - More death-filled hi-jinks this year!
8.) Super Popcorn - If I don't re-scan that comic soon, I'll scream. Also, more comics and illustrations planned!
9.) Birds - 15 birds a month in either watercolor, digital, colored pencil, or pastel. Can I do it?
10.) Pantheon - More illustrations of gods and heroes (including Arthur's Round Table) planned!
11.) Pin-Up Calendars - Still working on a set of guys and a set of girls.
12.) Faeries - I found an old story from junior high and wanted to draw the faeries from it. I think I threw away the original drawings almost eight years ago, so I'll have to redesign them!
13.) Random/Original Art - Mostly to use up other art supplies I have.
14.) Playing Cards - With cameos from various projects.
15.) Tunnels and Elevators - I've got to find the manuscript again, but this is another comic (one-shot) that I want progress on.
16.) Game Levels - I want to create several 2D video game-style "landscapes."
17.) I'm A Bug?! - Still re-doing this book.
18.) Coloring Book - A new project that I hope will turn into something more.
19.) Tutorials - I'm still going on about this?!
Collaborations
0.) The Dark Writers - Lots of ideas for writings and drawings for this. We will survive (I hope my power stays on so I can make my post on Thursday!)
0.) Collaboration with Meshia - A blend of comics and prose that I also hope will take off this year (by take off, I mean WHOOOSH! lots of people enjoy it!)
0.) Illustrations for Rica - Because I promised them and I've anticipated doing them FOREVER, and by golly I will. Even though I'm doing them for her to use as she likes, it's also fan art because I fell in love with her characters and I want to have fun with them this year!
Fan Art
- Pokemon - Still working on drawing every Pokemon and various illustrations. Of note is a planned series involving evolution stones (my brother's idea, actually. Thanks, bro!)
- Idols - Lots of fan art planned, including a series based on single/album outfits of Morning Musume. Also a crossover gag comic and a small series of Idoling!!! illustrations, since those girls have grown on me, too, with their YouTube channel.
- Other Fan Art - My Sailor Moon series and other little random fan arts will go here.
Sketchbook - I want to fill up most of my sketchbooks this year!
Okay, off to make good on my New Year's Resolutions and To-Do Lists!
