SoMStables

Boys, we're getting some fantasy elements lowkey added to SoMS and it's going to start with me reintroducing some of my very first characters.
I don't know why I'm so balls to the walls with working on nothing but HARPG mentally these days but it's happening.  

Immediate plan / To-Do List:
-re do or tweak all my ref sheets & post those that still haven't been
-get some of my long over due breeding out of the way
-basically get everything set up to start this story over from the ground up.
-organize folders and put all the old shitty stuff in a pre-2018 folder

Also, until I can buy a new laptop, I'll still be using gimp again, hopefully in the next 3 weeks-ish I'll be getting my hands on a new laptop and I can get back to photoshop. I've only gotten to draw in PS a couple times and I already notice the difference with having to go back, no me gusta.

_{Wish I could be playing witcher but I promised myself I'd draw some today first.}

Hey all, I know it's been a -hella- long time since I've been active or posted. I've missed you alot and I think I'm finally ready to come back.
I've had a crazy amount going on and I'll definitely make a post for anyone who is interested on what's been going on with me for like... The last two years or so? lol damn.

But, in short, I've been continuing to draw my characters privately the last while and I'm alot better off mentally where school is concerned and I'd really like to get back to SoMS because I've really missed it and I feel like I never got to do even a fraction of what I originally set out to do with all this.

I'm going to clear my inbox out to hell too that's for sure! 

But yeah, so I'm hoping to come back soon and completely revamp everything over my break and finally get to work on spreading the stories and drawings I've got in mind!

Edit:
I will be starting working on thing either later this week or perhaps sometime in a few weeks.
My first priority will be going back and editing all reference sheets, all staff references will be entirely over hauled and I want to get solid concepts of the stable and the grounds in order as well as drawings of our facilities.
After that I will be starting the origin story of SoMS from scratch. Same story, redone with better at and stuff.
All art Pre 2018 will be moves to a folder and essentially we're just going to pretend it doesn't exist- my art's not great now but what I posted on here before had alot of hot garbage in it lmao.
I will not be breeding, entering contests of even considering doing art for any other than maybe RPs with affiliates for at least the next 6 months. I want to do what I always started out to do - work with my own characters and improve my art.
When I started, I got very into doing kaaring for others and competitions, I want to come back and have this be the stress fee environment (HOBBY) it was meant to be before I ever started stressing myself out unnecessarily over breeding.  

BUT that's all to be seen later, and you'll get to see it when I'm there.

See you all soon fam,

*Note to inquiring minds, my stable is still very much frozen; I'm doodling my characters for fun sometimes but not posting anything because I just haven't done any real (serious) drawings because I don't feel like doing serious work on extracurricular drawing because classes already kinda get the drawing notion out of me*

I might be back a little bit soon just to get some breedings out of the way and maybe try to post some doodles so everyone realizes that I do still draw them from time to time. Like I said in the precursor bit above, I just don't ever feel like drawing in my free time anymore because all the still lifes I have to do for class kinda crush my mood for it. Plus, I don't really have time for it between trying to keep my mental health and grades both in the good zone by just doing things. I've been trying to read, watch movies and write a little in my spare time. I'm also waiting for my friends to get their stuff together for making youtube videos so i can start editing for them. (I'm actually working on an editing example sort of video for them in my free time at the minute). But yeah, I might try to do some digital doodles in the future or something, maybe I'll make a video out of that for anyone who wants it or something.

So far, school's pretty 'eh'. I'm out of the notion of hating being here at the moment, because I've kept myself well occupied, but we'll see how long that lasts; I still don't really want to be here, but I just don't out right hate it at the moment is all... Though I do have those days. I'll just have to see what ends up working out for me in the long run I guess. I'm just tired of everyone making a pissing contest out of everything, be competitive when you need to be, don't be bitchy to people of are just fucking trying their best. 

Hey-o dudes!
Life Update:
Long time no talk, it's been a hell of a ride being in college. I hope you're all doing well, I'm stressed as all get out because i'm currently in the middle of finals but other than that i'm fairly okay. I'm looking forward to having some down time back home with some friends for a while.
As far as projects go, I have to finish my drawing and design final projects as well as my design sketchbook, write a paper for drawing and I'll have an art history final the last day I'm here. It doesn't sound like alot, and it's not, but I know it'll take me some time to get it all done. Tonight I'm sketching out my drawing final (due tuesday), thinking up my design final (due thursday) and downloading the pictures and writing notes for my deisng sketchbook. Tomorrow I'll probably try to finish everything so I'll have the rest of the week to study for art history (god I need all the help I can get, I'm so nervous about not keeping my 3.0 and losing my scholarships... I can't go back home now over not keeping my grades up. I really can't do that.). But no, I'm super nervous and I just have my fingers crossed that I can pull my drawing grade up to an A as well as my design (which I only need .3 points for that though, so I'm hoping I can manage that.). I need it to cushion my history grade. There's no way on earth I can swing a B, I've had a C all semester. I have a 73 now so I'm just hoping the shitty paper I wrote last week doesn't drag it down to a D, I'm hoping I can just maintain that C and I'll be okay... I'm feeling pretty good about the time I'll have to study my notes this week for my final exam in there, so I'm just hoping really hard so far that I know by Wednesday what my paper's grade is and hopefully the written part of my final exam won't be that bad. I don't have a mind for art history, it's hella boring to me. But yeah. I'm just sitting here working up an ulcer from worrying 24/7 and hoping I do good enough on everything...

Youtube wise, I'm really bummed I haven't gotten to do anything. I'll probably using alot of my spare time towards that over my christmas break though. As soon as I get back I plan on buying bandicam and getting to recording. I'm going to be collaborating with two of my friends some to make commentary over break hopefully and two of my other friends have decided that they want to try out commentary as well and they want my help with editing so I'm pretty stoked about my plans tbh. Other than that, over break I plan on doing a little art, and hang out with my best friend a bunch. If I'm still here next year, I'm going to try and room in a two person dorm with my roommate that's staying on this campus for a while longer so fingers crossed again on being able to make content regularly at some point. I could be doing it now if I were stricter with myself but I'm going to back to get into it over break and see where it takes me. Also- I GET TO SEE PANIC AT THE DISCO OVER BREAK! WHAT IS MY LIFE?!

Deviantart Update:

My stable is still frozen. I just thought I'd say that again. But I really, really want to work on stuff for my stables. It's been too long and I miss my characters a bunch. I really badly want to write about Avery, Jace, Casey and Clare but I just do not have the time right now. (hell, I don't even really have the time to be taking this break to write this out but I needed to take a half hour from drawing for my own sanity... I'll probably watch a little JSE before getting back to work if we're honest. I'm staying up all night anyway so why not? I digress, this got really tangent-y)
I really hope to do at least one or two contests or something over break but we shall see. Maybe I'll try and bring all the new babies in or something.

Anyway. I'll chat with you guys soon-ish. I'm off to watch some youtube for the next half hour and then work on homework until I  have to catch the bus at 7 am. Until then, be good, stay safe, and make some fantastic art. <3

Yours Psychotically,
