Admin Post: Community Check-In for July

[goss]

Today is the last day of the month, and the perfect time to check in and chat with us. How have things been with you? :)

Was it a busy month, were you swamped? Did you get the chance to take part in any fandom activities or are you 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.

Starting's not the issue, it's finishing. Idk at some point I just hit a wall of "done now" and it's really annoying.

Haha, let me show you my gazillion unfinished drawings (in all sorts of stages)... *points around* There are some I just lost inspiration for, some I have forgotten what fic they were supposed to illustrate (I don't always write that down), some that just got me so frustrated (by anatomy mostly or shading...) that I left them for a year or two.

Is your done now, a feeling of "Yep I got the general idea I had in my head on paper" or more a "I'm so done, I don't have the energy to work on this anymore"?

Wow! I'm so impressed. I can't pick anything back up after more than a month, myself.

Both, I think.

Ha, just so you don't get the wrong impression - I do that with like 0,1% of all unfinished stuff. *g*

And with the 'got the idea down on paper' type sketches - I just started to give myself permission that not every one of them had to be fleshed out. Time is limited, right?

That's a good idea.
