{UPDATE: I revisit this post and I would like to apologies if this has been a bit sad/negative, I was in an awful situation when I wrote this. But as for the future of this account, I may still keep it for a while and post art while I figure out what I really want to do with it. Most artworks here are no longer backed up so this account is definitely a big documentation of my works throughout the years. }
Hi! Everyone, it's been a while since I wrote a journal. Admittedly, I have lost my interest to continue this account because I'm not sure in which direction I will be taking this.
I remember back in 2012-2013 when I made this account, I came from playing on the Neopets website and I've became fond of drawing my own OCs. Sometimes I make random free use line arts to that hopefully I get more watchers who will be interested in my free stuff (and I'm genuinely still happy seeing my old wonky lines still being used even offsite). I used love following new artists and commenting on their posts and meeting new friends.
Around 2014, I created my still mascot, Palette. And that grew my love to make random species and characters. I'm also quite of a quirky teen back then and looking back on my artwork's descriptions, there are some comments that makes me cringe now haha. I recall being active in DA back then, doing pixel arts, simple animations and shiny artworks.
Around 2016, I got drawn in making free open species(again, I like making free stuffs haha) and also made a few closed species. Playing Neopets during HS, I'm always interested in creatures and world building. Foxponds(already belongs to someone else) started around 2017(?) and is one of my fairly popular species; my deepest regret for them is not being able to be fully committed as I've been stressed out in college. I've also realized that around college I had depression which I'm still coping right now, so I have not been too active here since then. A lot of things changed really, I've become too shy to comment on people's work and have become less cheerful. I still do art though, I mean my major is also art related; that's why I can still post here.
Currently, I'm more into just making artworks, but mostly offsite. And other art related like comics and plush isn't linked with this brand anymore. I guess it's the same with most social media that any downtime will really make a massive effect in your account's growth. This account has recorded my directions and mistakes in my art journey that I'm not sure I want to keep. Plus, I don't know if I still have friends here since I rarely talk to them anymore, or probably they have already left the site as well? Do people still look at this account?
This account is probably around 9 years ago, and I still look at it from time to time. Perhaps there's a sense of nostalgia surrounding it. I've been tempted to delete this account, since it's slowly becoming a shell(in my own perception). I always ask myself, maybe it's time for a new beginning(?), then again, this is X amount of artworks I've probably never have a back up of, it's X years of a documentation of my art journey.
Sorry if I rambled a bit, hope I don't sound complain-ish. Honestly I feel like I am at lost in my journey but I have to keep on going as this has been sustaining me financially RN, but with being lost, the path has been terribly rock-y along the way.
I've been noticing people commenting on my past logo commission post years ago, unfortunately it doesn't reflect my current prices for them but I am open to make them for anyone interested. Here's an updated pricelist for my logo:
*prices are for personal use logo(youtube vids, art, etc) For commercial use(business brand, shop, in the sense that you may print it with your merch), shoot me a message first.
*my logo is usually an icon type, but I can recommend a commercial free font to mix with the icon if needed.
$15-$20
a simple, max two colored design. Blends in most artwork especially in a black & white variant.
$20-$30
more than two colors, more details detailed icon.
All logos will be given an .ai and .png format.
I can also make a layout for you with the new logo(either for youtube, fb, etc) starting at +$20
Feel free to shoot me a note if interested. For any question, you can also comment below in this post.
