Do You Recall... | July 2020
🕑 Added 2020-07-06 19:13:04 +0000 UTC...someone you haven't thought about in a long time?
It's me.
Hey, how's it going? It's Ol' Justy back at it once again with the lack of quality control.
Just letting some things get addressed:
First, I've kind of been in a personal funk for the past few months. I've mostly been working for obligation and not much else, which kind of led to burn out and a lack of desire to keep working on things.
Is it fun? No.
Is it an excuse for why things haven't been done in the timely manners that they should be? Also No.
Fact of the matter is that I've been in too much of a flux when it comes to providing things that need to be done in the time they need to get done. A lot of it has to do with my inability to cut things off when I need to or schedule properly - something that I've always struggled with due to my love of procrastination. I know that's not how the world works and it's not fair to the people who have decided that I'm worth putting their money towards. The moment you get comfortable is the moment that things really start to fall apart.
I've been heavily putting a lot of focus on stuff that doesn't matter and have been shying away from the things that do - something that desperately needs to be fixed.
So, big mood here: Things that were supposed to happen a while back are actually in the pipeline of getting done. I'm currently getting things together to record a short "studio" (room) tour. I'm also committing more of my time into actually building on my worlds and just skill in general. There's more sketchbook work on the way because it's actually right next to me most of the day.
I want to make the support that you all have chosen to give me at least worth it.
Consistency is key and that's definitely not been the case as of late, in more ways than one.
(Alright, that part's out of the way.)
SECONDLY, the general stuff:
After this goes up, I'll be sending out the messages for people in Silver and Gold to send me their requests. I'm actually going to get these out in a timely manner rather than days before the month is over. The sooner they arrive, the sooner I can work on them.
The Suggestion Pool will be up soon after this as well. General rules apply - singular character request with a poll for the final piece being put up a week afterwards.
I have some other plans that I'm looking into, specifically when it comes to some stuff involving future products that I'd like to share and get some feedback on. Hopefully there's some things I can take away and learn.
Basically, it's about getting better.
I want to thank everyone who chooses to support what I do and I don't want to disappoint.
Stay safe and well, everybody. See you soon.
