Alright, I know I'm never active on here anymore, but that's because adult life is busy.

It's also expensive.

So with that, I'm genuinely considering starting commissions. However, I want to make sure there is enough demand for them before I do all that work. I don't have a great portfolio yet so I would maybe need to whip up more examples before I do anything.

Are commissions something you would be interested in?

I See Fire was 5 years ago?!?! That's INSANE. That was the first MAP I ever hosted (with  @KindledSpark  as co-host). Where has the time gone? It's crazy to see how much my art has changed since then. If I saw then where I was now, I would be blown away (and a bit disappointed because I never post and have been putting off posting a Million Dreams because I don't have enough time to put tons of effort into editing, but well y'know that's only one sad thing). But also, even though most if not all of us were beginners and children back then, for where we were in life, the MAP was of amazing quality and is still something to be proud of.

It's sad to see a lot of people in the MAP (like myself) barely active anymore, and many also not active at all, but also cool to see who has still stuck around and how far they have come also.

I finished my first piece for ArtFight! Started off with something for my friend  @Ravenous_Raven_ . This is my first year doing ArtFight so this is pretty exciting. I'm so incredibly proud of this one too.

I think I'm officially quitting Krita and going back to Autodesk Sketchbook because I just could never do something this good in such a short amount of time on Krita. I think that using it for two years hindered my drawing growth because it just isn't a super user-friendly app and it made digital art not feel worthwhile to me. But on Sketchbook I can finish stuff quickly and it turns out better than anything I made on Krita. I was growing so much and so fast when I used Sketchbook, but I've hardly seen any improvement while using Krita and it always felt like a chore to use. Not 100% sure why it works out that way but I can't deny that it does so I'm going back to Sketchbook (which was called Autodesk Sketchbook back when I started using it--- I'm old)

Here's my ArtFight account if you didn't have it already! With the change in apps I'm more likely to be able to participate more.

Going back to my roots because I'm low-key sick of Krita at this point

Announcement time!

For one, I hopefully finally have time to start working on videos more so that's good!

For two, I'm going to attempt to do ArtFight this year for the first time ever! I probably won't have time to draw much, and nothing elaborate, but I would like to contribute at least one piece of fanart.
Here's my profile! It should be fully set up and organized other than the fact I currently only have one OC on there (most of my OCs of the past have been retired at this point, but I might create some fun ones for art fight).

That's all for now! Keep an eye out for new videos soon!

Just an update that I'm still alive and big things are coming on this channel in a few weeks once summer begins, specifically the completed A Million Dreams MAP (finally) 🙃

Very important update regarding A Million Dreams!

First off, I'm having a lot of trouble with the resolution on a lot of the parts. It's saying that a lot of parts are only a resolution of 640x360. Does anyone have an idea of how to fix this? If you guys re-uploaded your parts, would there be a way that you could do so at a higher quality?

Tagging the people whose parts I'm having an issue with:
‪@snaketortillas1091‬
‪@shreeyasar‬
‪@mercurymoth‬
‪@aisuloup‬
‪@KindledSpark‬
‪@pitchyy_2227‬
@maddycat6370
‪@JaymeDraws‬

‪@kyper_belt‬, ‪@Sp1cerice‬, ‪@art1stic_cat368‬, ‪@AnteaterAnimationsArt‬, and @HoneyTheCat, your parts are fine.

I'm not exactly sure what's happening. If it can't be fixed, then that's okay, but I wanted to give everyone a chance to try and upload them in a higher quality if it were possible, that way their parts will look good in the final MAP. And if anyone has any advice on how to fix this, let me know!

Secondly, for anyone who wants to participate, the thumbnail contest is still open! I'll leave it open until the 10th. So if you would still like to enter, you can make an entry real quick.
Here are the entries I have as of now:
-‪@mochiwolfpaw‬
-‪@KindledSpark‬
-‪@ShashaCatStudios‬
-‪@Ecouityleaf‬
-‪@Kapheira_‬

If you entered but your name isn't on this list, please let me know! That means I didn't get your entry.

I think that's all for now, other than the fact that the MAP is officially in editing and will be posted in a few weeks. I'm gonna make some promo art with the official release date once it's set, so keep an eye out on here for that. I think it would be cool if a lot of people tuned into the premiere since this project has been such a long time coming :)
