Taking a much needed break from everything and starting over. And October --- Projects galore. Working remotely from home, juggling a bit of Art Training, some personal FX practice, working through black/white inktober and an animated short for Halloween. There's some other prohect re-visits I plan to do. Although at the moment I would be pretty happy if I can nail this month's goals alone. -------- Mmmhmmm! Got a pumpkin vanilla chai cheesecake, pumpkin pie, pumpkin donuts all from Bunners delish! Fall/winter is the best and looking forward to all the cinnamon in my system. Looking forward to a busy, productive, quiet home stay. All the spooky movies and game play from bestfriendsplay. Finally can start posting up some fun things! #personalprojects #animations #inktober #pumpkin #pumpkinspice #ghosts #ghouls #halloween #bestfriendsplay #practice #arttraining #shortfilmmaking #create #keepmovingforward #findingnewadventures #startingover https://www.instagram.com/p/BoVUFGuBTSv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=14bs6nk96v8p2

[sandmcunicorn]

Busy Long week!  Someone loves penguins, and I recreated the cutie from the Japanese Cold Song. Also used it as an invite for a surprise birthday shindig, hence not posting it til long after.  Have a good week!

[sandmcunicorn]

Oooo boy! Overly optimistic and have high expectations and did not meet any of them this week... Sometimes i get real teary eyed for not finishing work that i want in a reasonable time span. It makes me super sad, especially since i know i can do it and do it better. Maybe i am super rusty.

[sandmcunicorn]

Sketchy sketch from work! Life has gotten quite busy but its so easy to get rusty 😭

Biiiiii posts

Turns out that deleting and deactivating accounts like Instagram and Facebook leaves blank posts on my tumblr, so shifting through empties before posting again.  Will be posting once again in May, it’s been quite an adventure moving to a new country and settling in.  See ya soon!

[sandmcunicorn]

Long time no #sketch post. Big Day today! For 4 years I went on an adventure to figure out this creative journey. Today is my first day on the job at an Animation Studio I did a thing! Its not over, cannot wait to knock out more projects this year #bigday #firstdayonthejob #afterallthistime #heyididit #ididathing #unicorns #sketchwallet #funsies #animation #validation #itsnotover

Weird Twisty Turns

Bummer! So I thought that maybe a facebook page and Instagram dailies would be a great way to keep working away at the things I want to do. Except the algorithms have literally knocked any viewing down to nonexistent. It’s super unfortunate that my friends can’t see what I’m teetering with, and the killer is that I can’t even see what my friends and role models are working on either, without posts being shadow banned, out of chronological order, or simply pulled. So I kept up with my dailies along with other projects, but reached a point where Instagram wouldn’t let me upload videos despite proper format and size, and so I’ve just reached a point of prioritizing input. 

In the next month or so I’ll be booting up a new website layout, with a Blog section. I’m going to stop updating Instagram, but the account will start active due to interests of events and artists.

Facebook page is out of the picture as well. I dabbled a tad in Vero today, but quite tired of Social Media, so may just make a home here instead.

Thanks for reading! Looking forward to some new plans!

Good to go! Few more boards and animating away forever. But i mean, aren't we all fairly good to go when you get your coffee or tea fix? Some of us like a good ole hot cocoa. But seriously. Finally wrapped up this board, took some decision making and debate, and some kind of smirk.

[sandmcunicorn]

Going through some clean ups and unfortunately have to scrap panels.

Nothing chipper than opening a short with a happy derp sun.
