The-Golem-Armada

Wow! Has it been a long time since I made a journal. I'm trying to keep up momentum in 2018, with hopefully a consistent posting schedule, more social media participation, revisiting old stuff, and new formats I'm going to try like this one.
The goal is to feature my own work (And that of others) in sets to kind of draw the lines between works that might not have been uploaded together, inspirational stuff I've found, etc.

The short of it being: here's a piece with focus areas and angle shots. Does this work, and if not how can I do it better?

Okay, so assuming anyone still follows me:

You may have noticed me doing my usual stuff. Which is to say: Posting nothing .
This is because I am busy ALL THE TIME, and my life has yet to align with doing artsy stuff. I'll get there, but it's taking longer than I thought, most particularly because I'm about to be out of the country for a bit.

All is good, details to follow, but the tl;dr is that this whole, 'don't post stuff' thing I've been doing is probably going to continue a while longer. I have a few things in limbo that will be uploaded probably in August, but expect more of the same for a bit longer.

Thanks, and throw out an invocation to any wayward small gods in the area for me

ATTENTION WATCHERS: If you have noticed a gap in my activity lately, you have amazing perception . . . seriously, how would you notice something like that? The sheer amount of content on this website boggles my mind. How can anyone keep track of anything?

At any rate, good detective work, nameless watcher o' mine!
as I have recently been experiencing . . . a gap. 

The reason for this is that I am in the process of doing THINGS! Things like:
- Checking to make sure that all of my work is properly categorized and uploaded
- Doing art (Duh. I haven't run out of steam yet.)
AND
- Reshooting my old Post-it Note Monsters, ('cuz I realized I had a crappy scanner back in the day and some of those guys really look worse for wear)

So keep an eye out for reformatted stuff that should do slightly more justice (in my opinion) to my work, and new stuff soon.

I promise I won't make a habit of this kind of thing, but I felt I should put out an explanation for anyone who cared to see it

Anyhow, you all have good times on the Internet and remember to run howling through the forest every once in a while to refresh your hunter's instincts.

 Well, I liked my last one so much that I've decided to do another feature of some people I think are cool.
The last one I did was for Project Portfolio, and I got some cool feedback from that, so here's another one.

This is the first time I'm doing an OC for someone. I'm excited to give it a shot.

This is also closed, but it's promotion for a pretty cool comic about Greek myths, and I had an absolute blast making my entries for it.

Here's an example:

and here are my entries :

Well, that was fun. Anyway, wish me luck in all this stuff. I'll probably make another journal when I've found a couple more things to do.

But until then, sleep well, children of the webways. Be kind in your dealings, merciless in your deceits, and forgiving in your forgivenesses.
