Admin Post: Community Check-In for May 2023

[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 art challenges that have got you excited, any frustrations you've been experiencing, possible goals for the next month, and so on.

Reminder: A Round-Up for the MerMay 2023 Challenge will be posted tonight, and a new monthly challenge will be issued later this week. :)

A busy month IRL! I took on multiple home and work projects for May month, including making Mother's Day cards for a fundraiser, as well as a Mehendi "booth". So even though I've been doing Art-adjacent things all month, I only ended up having mental space to work on my own personal art when I was able to mark all that other stuff of my To Do list this week.

I was lacking direction for MerMay until I luckily happened upon some wonderful reference photos yesterday. I really enjoyed doing this sketch, as it was more of a study, and didn't really require much imaginative work on my part. *g*

Ooooh, that's so cool that you can do Mehendi! ♡

I can do a little of it, but I mainly oversaw the fundraiser, with the more experienced mehendi artists doing the drawing. :)

So many creative things happened!

Hoping I get to focus a little more on my own art this month. :)
