Livesign 2.0

3 min read
Hello there folks.

It has been almost 2 years since my last journal entry, a really long time.
In October 2016 I started my 2 year apprenticeship as warehouse manager, which I finished with flying colors in both school grades and at my workplace.
My company still was an ass and didn't offered me a third year or a job, because I was sick one time too often and because I didn't work the long hours/on Saturday. (Surely not for the few bucks they give me and when I have school work, too)

So I'm jobless right now, looking for a place to work. Sadly warehouse manager are rarely directly hired, but get work from temp agencies and...I'm wary of that. I'm trying to find a job on my own and in the meantime I get some pocket money from the government and still live with my parents, so I have nothing to worry for now.
But besides looking for a job, I also try to prepare myself to apply for an university place as game designer. Getting a place has become much cheaper in the last years and while I still would have to move, it's not that far from my current home. I'm already in contact with a student there, so I hope with their help I will be able to make a good application/portfolio.

Artwise...well you have probably seen that I've jumped through various fandoms in the last year and that surely hasn't changed much. Met a lot of nice people, formed friendships and improved my coloring and also writing skills. I'm very happy with my current progress.

I will give you a little list of sites where I'm active at the moment, since dA has become less of a focus point for me and I upload my art rather late here.

Main tumblr (with links to fandom-specific blogs)
Collaborative Blog with :iconriza23: (we hope that we can upload examples of a comic during autumn and if people like it, start a Digimon one during the beginning of the next year)
Personal Twitter
Art Twitter
AO3 (Writing)

Also a little reminder that I'm accepting either Coloring-Only Commissions and also Collab Commissions with my friend Gufy.
And when you are an artist who prefers sketching/doing lineart only, I’m always happy to discuss the possibility of Collaborations.

Everytime I submit something Strange Magic related here I halfway expect you guys coming around with pitchforks and torches to lynch me. xD
But I simply don't work on much other stuff currently and when it's only suitable for FurAffinty. But on one hand you guys can be happy, I don't upload every SM pic here. :'D
I do work on other pics that have nothing to do with the movie. The progress is just slow and I'm not statisfied with my progress with them, so that's that.
Just wanted to give a little update, since I barely upload something here currently.

In the last years I heard more and more negative things regarding dA's policy and due to that many artist left this site or are barely active anymore.
It's hard to tell if all the accusations are true or of people are overreacting, since most of those things didn't happen to me directly yet.
What I can say is that even when I wanted to leave dA because of it's unfair rules, it would be rather stupid to do so, since dA is one of my main sites and also main resource when it comes to get commissions jobs. Still, I want to try something out.
I really love tumblr and even when it's hard to get the same attention there as here on dA, I opened a new Art-blog and want to be there the most active.
Most of the Art I had on my Personal Blog I reblogged there, so I already have something to shoiw. I plan on posting every little artwork there, even some WIPs/Flatcolors I really like, Step-by-Step pictures and maybe Speedpaint videos. NSFW artworks would also be posted there, but with safety-preview and correspondingly tag.
Should I reach 500 followers until the end of the year (which would be half of my current dA watcher), I will stop posting personal things here on dA and only use the site for Patreon and other promoting stuff.

I'm stilll tweaking on a few things on the blog, but I would be happy to see you there.

Nothing critical, but my boyfriend Incy and I could use some money to buy food for a week and also to buy tickets for the theaters.
(Ratchet & Clank movie + Captain Ameica Civil War. Why does so many good films come out at once? xD)

My commission prices:

Also always happy about doing Collaboration Comissions / Collab YCH when I see that the style fits.

Since one of my hard drives died on me, I lost my recording tool OBS and I had to install it again. Seems it got an update and I try to get familiar with the new user interface.
Some Pokemon Coloring, with music and mic on (Push-To-Talk) Beware my horrible english. xD
