Admin Post: Community Check-In for March 2018

[goss]

Yesterday was the last day of March, 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 March, 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.

I'm still kind of in the middle of two larger paintings, both of which have pieces I've been getting stuck on, though I did make some progress on my CritterDeck portrait. I should... really have done studies of various parts instead of just jumping into it, but I always feel like that's going to take too long, and then it kind of bites me when I have to take five times as long to finish a piece instead, but oh well.

I may have less free time for a while if all goes... well? And if not I'll definitely be doing more art. But I hope to at least continue to inch progress on those regardless and try to keep up doing a few gouache studies here and there, too.

I like the Critterdeck painting - is that digital art, so you're able to work at it over time?
I'm having fun with gouache studies as well.

Thank you, and yep using Clip Studio Paint. I've already probably put around 30 hours into it, I think, ahah. I haven't kept track exactly, but I started in the beginning of February.

I really love the composition in this! Great pose and nice use of dark/light contrasts!
