Community Check-In for May 2020

[goss]

Today's the last day of May, and we'd love to have you check in and chat with us. How have things been with you this past month?

Did you sign up for or take part in any fandom activities in May, or have you been working on any personal art projects? Are you currently trying to meet a deadline? Feel free to share upcoming challenges that have got you excited, any frustrations you've been experiencing, possible goals for the next month, and so on.

Nothing amazing to report! I've just come back to dreamwidth after a month long break, and I'm slowly getting back into things. I lost photoshop access along with my job back in late March, so I've been learning Affinity Photo, which is superficially the same, but functionally infuriatingly different.

In June, I have a mini-goal of illustrating a few figurines of cats made out of precious stone in order to support a PDF I plan to sell to the D&D community. I can share in this comm if that's worth sharing for anyone!

How have you been doing? I'm really happy to see some admin action here so soon after arriving! I've been itching for more artcentric community in my life, now that I have all the time in the world on my hands.

Great! Welcome to the comm! \o/

RL has been taking up a lot of my time for the last couple months, but I'm hoping to get back into the swing of things now that things are settling a bit.

I'll be putting up a new art challenge tomorrow, so looking forward to that! :D

You are also welcome to peruse the previous community challenges listed on the Profile page, and post your submissions here at any time.

Cool! I just saw the bingo challenge after responding, d'oh! I'll take a look, but I'm glad about having a new thing tomorrow, too!

I've been mainly working on personal projects, although I did enter an icontest. Which doesn't really count as drawing, but still. I'm resolving to do more of the challenges on here.

Great! Hope you like our newest drawing challenge - it's a quick and easy one. :)

Sorry to be late - a lot on with RL work hotting up a bit and too many Big Bangs that I've signed on for.
So, May things. I continued the Daily View landscapes in my journal and these were the biggest project time-wise. Not every day, but there were 9 of them across the month.
In other works posted to AO3, I did:
Point Break Portraits - Bodhi and Johnny Utah (watercolour),
Steve's Sketchbook - three drawings of Peggy by Steve, illustrating a fic/podfic (pencil), and
Lock That One Out of the Database - portraits of John and Rodney (SGA). Finally made time to paint two drawings I'd had ready to go for ages, and I was very happy with how they turned out. (watercolour)

Your Daily View landscapes are so great! I am delighted every time I see a new one on my flist. <3

Welcome to the comm! You can definitely post about your cat illustrations in the monthly check-in-chat post!
