Admin Post: Community Check-In for August

[goss]

Tomorrow will be the last day of the month, and we'd love to have you check in and chat with us. How have things been with you?

Did the time fly this August? Did you get the chance to take part in any fandom activities 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.

Yes the month really went by very quickly. I am sort amazed at how productive I've been artwise, I didn't post anything at all in June, and then with the start of drawesome seven pieces in July and six pieces in August.

I am off sick today but still I'm very much psyched about participating in the dcu_bang and marvel_bang. I signed up for four interesting stories. I really love to do illustration, somehow that's a lot easier for me than coming up with my own ideas. And regarding that, I whooped for joy this morning because an author I really admire bomberqueen17 left a comment on an illustration from July for her story A Face Built for Getting Punched - one of my favourite poly-Avengers fics.

Anyway what with the current challenge and my BigBang arts I am going to push myself because I'm going to draw a lot of characters that I have never tried before:

Supergirl: Kara and Mon-El probably
DC: various batfamily members (I've only ever done Bruce and Dick)
Marvel: Clint (Hawkeye) , Peggy Carter and maybe Tony
Patrick O'Brian Master and Commander: Jack and Stephen

I also hope that work and the new two week deadlines for challenges will keep me being productive in fandom.

\o/ *cheers you on* \o/

(Also, it must have felt so good to get such an enthusiastic feedback from the author of the fic that inspired your illustration. ^____^ )

You should have seen my Cheshire cat grin! I read it over my morning coffee and am still so thrilled.
Getting author feedback is the best.

Thank you for the cheerleading and good luck with your own projects!

Ooh, squee - I love Bomberqueen's stories and it's so neat that you got such a great comment - it was an excellent artwork of Bucky and Nat. And go you with the marvel and dcu challenges, wow!

[mekare]

Thank you! I have taken on quite a lot but for now I'm confident I'll manage it.

Hehe Karamel karamel... I still can't get over it. And yesterday I watched a video of them behind the scenes and they were so sweet!
