Since I am obviously already slightly stressed with what I have to do, I am getting nothing done at all and wasted all my time thinking about irrelevent things. This time, it’s an ambition in making an artbook for fun!
And not just an artbook of any art of mine, an artbook of my Blackbird art. Why? because I put more heart into drawing that than other originals, commissions or fanarts.
In my gallery, I only have about 20 pieces so far. Not enough eh? From the artbooks I have, They’re all about 100 pages each, double sided, sometimes with multiple images on 1 page. Not all of them are finished works, of course; there are sketches, speed paints and concepts, alongside finished images. Still with what I have so far, I am not getting anywhere close to having enough content.
So plan/ideas!
- .: About 20 of my most liked Blackbird images that I’ve put online.
.: Hopefully I can CG about 20 more pics which I will not show online (or at least only show fragments of) to put exclusively in the artbook or sell in conventions.
.: About 20 pages of character profiles of the more important characters (ones that are actually listed on my info section), including designs, sketches, blurbs and maybe spoilers that no one cares about…??
.: A 15-20 page short filler-ish side story maybe?
That would be a good 80 page worth of crap… hopefully by the time I have all of that, I would’ve progressed far enough in the story and attracted more people. If not, I’d just bring them to conventions to sell.
Yes, anything to occupy my mind so I don’t have to thinkg about school, ugh.
[edit]
yay another useless piece of shit I did to avoid work. Chris showed me some god‘s art and we were all emo about how well she does effects. So I decided I want to try and copy. the result is sorta like this:

You know, every art book I’ve ever bought had about two pages of some interview and a handful of doujinshi that, of course, never have anything to do with the actual story. It would be a good way to lessen your work load by some pictures (which you may or may not like, I don’t know) since you can just scribble some panels, Koge-Donbo style. You can ask people at DevART to give you some questions to answer, and choose from there.
Just a suggestion.

if anything like that happens to my site, it should only be temporary. I don’t think I will put the coloured pages in though! they’re too small to be printed clearly though ]=
