So here's a bit of an art dump. Was a really slow week. Been kinda paranoid about if the art I'm doing is the art I really enjoy doing or just art I think I like to do due to over saturation of it in the jobs I want to pursue or the artists I look up to and admire. So I took a little step back in the middle of the week to collect my thoughts and make a bit of a plan of action for the next couple months or so, working out a series of things that I think I truly have an interest in but will also help me appeal to companies I want to work for. At the moment I'm kind of doing my own redesigns of commonly depicted fantasy races. So orcs, elves, dwarves, dark elves, and I'm thinking of just doing a human race as well to throw in to the bunch but we will see.

Fantasy creatures and races were probably the very first things that I can remember I sincerely thought were cool that truly inspired and motivated me without someone else being there to persuade my decision on how much I like something. So for now that is something I'm going with. That and I'm deciding to start painting what I feel like painting more. Sometimes I'll have a sudden urge to paint a random ass thing like an animal or like a Japanese city street or something and I've always neglected to take those urges a step further and do something about it. Even if it's not necessarily pertaining to what I'm trying to paint professionally or personally I want to take that inspiration for something and go somewhere with it. So here's to hopefully making some positive changes and steps forward with my own development <3
