...Getting Back Into The Swing Of Things.

Hey, you guys. Long time, no see. :) Hope all my watchers here are doing well. I just wanted to touch base with those of you still watching me on here and let you all know that I am NOT dead. Just extremely inactive (not that that's anything new. Lol). In other news though, I'd really love to get back into the swing of things more here and upload some new art. Admittedly, I've been finding it increasingly difficult to keep up with my art in recent years. Even my writing is beginning to slack a bit. I guess I'm just getting old. My resolution for this year is to draw more though. I find myself wracked with anxiety a LOT of the time nowadays due to work and other life stresses. It'd be nice to have another outlet for my stress in the form of art. The pixel arts alone just aren't cutting it any longer (though they do help on some level).

So I guess my main reason for posting up this journal is to just ask, how many of you would be interested in me creating free-for-use page dolls on here? I want simple illustrations I can work on in my free time, such as single characters holding up "Welcome to my Page" signs or any message really that you'd like for your visitors to read. (Examples: "Please don't thank me for the llama/fave/watch/etc. You're welcome. :)" or "Please enjoy your stay." etc.) I'm not so certain anybody would care to actually use my art for decoration on their page, but I'd be willing to draw any character I feel is within my artistic abilities to do so. <XD Fan characters or otherwise from any fandom out there (so long as I know enough about the fandom to replicate the style on some level.) Obviously, I have deep roots in the IZ fandom still, but I can also draw characters from shows like MLP/Sonic the Hedgehog/Pokemon/etc.

I might make a few random little page dolls just for fun and see if anybody out there is actually interested in using them, but I'd also be happy to accept character suggestions too. :) Character suggestions or simple themes to go along with them (Example: Seasonal or holiday related themes). I might just be rambling to myself at this point, but if anybody would be interested in my current art project, please feel free to let me know in the comments below. :) I'm really just trying to find the motivation to begin drawing again. Might even lead to some future art streams if I can keep up with it and not give up on what I'm working on a few seconds into the sketching phase. (So many works I have stored away that will never be finished because I wasn't happy with how the sketch came out.) Most likely if I DO manage to come out with some page dolls, they'll be simple little chibis, similar in design to these:

Chibi Zim by Pat-The-Kitsune
AT: Reeru for Zoroana by Pat-The-Kitsune
Chibi Psyduck by Pat-The-Kitsune
I know these aren't the best examples, but I'm just hoping to have some fun with this little project of mine. I have some time off from work right now, so what better time to try and get back to drawing. :) Sorry if this journal seemed pointless to any of you. As I said above though, just trying to motivate myself towards working on some art again, no matter how simple.
