Admin Post: Community Check-In for June 2025

[goss]

Today's the last day of June, 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 June, 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 Pride! Challenge will be posted this week, and a new monthly challenge will be issued over the weekend. :)

I made an ffn page and am reuploading old works as well as new stuff I did for worderlands' daily 3 sentence fic challenge (link to my ffn is on my profile)

Good to archive things wherever you can!

[zenigotchas]

I just haven't been drwing since I've been resting my body. I feel kinda silly cuz I realize now that the question was about ART related fandom stuff. sorry for getting off topic!

Edit: does researching improving my drawing ergonomics count? because I've been doing a LOT of that

[goss]

Glad to hear from you either way, and hoping the break is restorative. :)

Still injured? That sucks.

I am healing, but slowly. But it could be worse, I keep reminding myself.

I've been busy with a few things this past month. I'm podficcing quite a lot, which means fun with cover art for each one, and did two works for the Pride challenge, plus Hidden Colours (B&W version of the Bisexual McShep 'Show Your Colours' pic), and Mirror Uhura, for Juneteenth. Plus a short fic, but at present I'm mostly into art and podfic.

[goss]

Yay for making cover art! ^__^

I like the B&W version of the McShep. It's interesting how colour variation impacts the sense of depth.

[leecetheartist]

Hi folks, I'm hoping to do some more work on the big mermay piece.

[mific]

Ooh! O_o

[mekare]

Yay!

[goss]

Nice! ^__^

Glad I was able to manage doing something for the Pride challenge earlier in the month, as these last couple weeks turned out to be really hectic IRL.

Very much looking forward to summer vacation coming soon, when I'm hoping to be able to devote more time to drawing. :)

I haven't been drawing at all, spoons have not been conducive. I have discovered drawing tutorial tiktok though amd that's cute and inspiring so I want to try some easy ones.

[goss]

*nods* I find watching art/craft demos and tutorials very inspiring too, and gets me in the right headspace to make a start, especially when I haven't done art in a while... :)
