Blap

I'm feeling blabby, and I doubt anyone here knows or cares at this point, but I erased my DA gallery today. 860+ drawings from over 18 years. It was my homepage for almost two decades, introduced me to friends, communities, the person I've married, and more, but the site is just so determined to be trash anymore. I already stopped uploading new stuff there a long while back, but now everything got pulled just because I don't want to be a part of anything feeding into what's there anymore. Feels a little bad to close down my biggest account anywhere (1550ish followers, still getting like 20 faves per day even after a long period of inactivity), but life goes on. ...If anyone here or anywhere else lost access to a commission, I still have those! Feel free to reach out to me here, on any other site, or via gmail (all with this same username) and I can help! ...otherwise, my galleries elsewhere are still getting uploads, and my free-to-join Discord Server still has all the newest stuff and variants. And a gallery thread! Anyway, RIP to a 20 year old DeviantArt gallery and the art journey it showed. And Positive Vibes! Life goes on, and more artwork is always coming.

JesterDK August Updates!

Hello again, everyone! I know this is a day early, but I wanted to stick it up anyway before I forgot. hahaha I'm all boring still, so I don't know if I have all that much to update on here, but there are a few big things! Here we gooooo! 1- It's been super hot lately here. That sucks. And in a house without AC, it's made it harder to get artwork done. Hours have been much more limited. Got a couple things in these last couple weeks, though! 2- There's a chance that my last upload of Cat from Red Dwarf might be my last upload for a while. It may not be still, but it could be! I only have like one day off in my next 9 or so, and that makes it trickier to find enough time! After that, #3! 3- I'm taking my trip to Ireland on the 10th! I'm excited. I've never been out of the country before, and I'm super excited to go hang out a ton with my best of frands, @obscure-repository !  It's a lot of sitting on a plane to get there... but it's gonna be worth it! I'll be back on the 25th, but I'm sure I'll be popping up online throughout the trip, too. 4- August is going to be expensive! Plane tickets are already bought, but with the trip, Yakuza Kiwami 2, a new Alice In Chains album, and 8 days going into my paycheck for the month, I may feel it. Yay @ having savings. Hahaha ...anyway, that's about it! Interesting things ahead, even if it all adds up to me not uploading as much for the month, too. I hope everyone else has an awesome month, too! See you all around the site!

New computer desk/setup! Woo! First time in years I’ve had a workspace where I could put my legs under the desk. Huge upgrade, that. Also way way more desktop space now. Can fit the computer AND tablet on the top? AND a giant TV? AND the giant cup? Hahaha

Tiny updates weeeee

Just to fill some people in (if anyone cares!), I thought I’d post a few sentences here.

I picked up the Dark Souls remaster on PS4 the other day (really enjoying it, it’s MUCH more functional than the last consoles’ versions), and I’m playing that a bit with R-B for the time being! And besides that I’ve got work all over, and it’s getting to the hot time of year (in a house without AC), so I fully expect art to slow down a bit. I sorta feel like taking this week off anyway, just because...

I tend to feel bad when I stop being productive with art. Feels like I’m wasting time, even when there are a ton of pictures I do that a lot of people don’t care about (see: Asari. Always more Asari. hahahaha), when I’m not making more. But the brain’s just mean like that. So far my year’s been great, and I feel like my quality in the last six months or so has been notably good in comparison to what was before, so :D 

I’m glad for all the people that like anything I do, and show up to check it out! There’ll be more, and I’m looking forward to sharing it as it pops up - even if it’s more Asari again - but I do expect a bit of a slowdown, too! Just a heads-up!

Hopefully everyone scrolling past this has an awesome day! :D

JesterDK Update

2017 is nearly over, and I'm feeling a bit mixed about these last couple of months. In general, my year was GREAT, up until random things crushing my NotWorkTime these last two months. Hopefully I can pull myself out of this idiot-pit by the time the calendar flips! Artistically, I set myself a goal this year that I really hoped to make. It was something I blew out of the water last year, and 8 months into this year, I was about 80% done with it. Coming into this last 6 weeks, though, I got hit hard with a lack of everything. Stalled a lot, got nothing done, and I missed the last part of my goal by something I should've been able to finish two whole months ago. That's been disheartening. I've been a lot more depressed about that, on top of other things, than I would like to have been. Besides that stuff, I'm also starting to drift away from a few places I like to frequent online. Some of the people I know and love to keep up with have gone very quiet in recent months, and it feels like a lot of interests are sorta just shifting, so I just feel really isolated and out-of-place on a few sites anymore. It got bad enough recently that I just pulled a bunch of my gallery down on some of them, and sorta decided that I'm probably done there. The upside is that a narrowed focus should leave me with less that can snag and drag me down. Soooo... Yup. I feel really adult right now. I'm just so tired of feeling bad about everything I do all the time. I'm hoping that next year will be a very positive change in that regard, even if I post in fewer places and have fewer friends around. I plan to try hard for it anyway. Aaaaaaaaaaand beyond that, I hope everyone that follows me (as well as everyone I follow!) had a great holiday season, and follows it up with a wonderful new year! Hopefully things only improve coming up!

Job interview went awesomely

I’m thinking I’ll hear back from them. They mentioned that after interviews, they’ll be calling the new people on Friday (don’t know if Tomorrow, or NEXT Friday) and then training on the Monday after that. Pretty sure I’ve got a job on the way now though. Woo! Positive Vibes!

[August 3rd, 2017]

Hello again people! Not much to say this time around -- I'm at the coastal area again, sitting out a heatwave right now. The big advantage of being jobless (at least there's one!) reappears! I get to run from heat! Hahaha I should be back in town again soon, and up to... whatever I'll be up to next. There aren't a lot of art ideas lingering right now, and no projects lined up, and it's still gonna be kinda hot at home regardless of whether it's TOO hot or not, so I'm not sure what or when my next uploads will be... but I'm hoping it won't be too long from now! I always feel a little weird when I go too long without working on something to share. A week without an upload sets a weird pressure in m'brain. ANYWAY! Hopefully everyone's avoiding the heat, too, and getting by well! One of these day's I'll have more to say, too. Hahaha Positivity @ everyone! See you around the sites! :D

[March 20th Update]

And here we are again, this time just at the end of a weekend, and not the beginning of a month! But I think I'm okay to make an update again, so I'm going to. hahaha Tomorrow Mass Effect: Andromeda is coming out. :o I'll be picking it up right after work, and playing the hell out of it (I hope!) for UNKNOWN AMOUNT OF HOURS. In the meantime, I don't expect to start or post any art for a while. :o I'll still be around, checking my feeds, chatting on Skype, etc. Just not as many uploads for a while! THERE'S EXPLORIN' TO DO! Will see you all around, though, and get back to creating and sharing again in no time, I'm sure!
