Well, hello! I guess I'll give monthly updates here a try again.

First an invitation:
plant-fantasy will run a feature to the theme "Birches" at the end of this month. One month later will be "The plants have eyes", followed by "Autumn".
So if you have something that fits those themes, and the general plant-fantasy theme, submit to the group. :)
(General theme: Made-up species - could be "plain" plant species or stuff like ents or dryads or grass type pokemon - or plants being manipulated with magic)

As to personal stuff...
I took a two week vacation over the holidays and visited family. It was very relaxing.
Not so much fun is the case of bad sleep bordering on insomnia I got after work started again, but after a week, it seems to be tailing off. Anyway, I wasn't as productive art-wise as I'd wished.

My goals for this year as far as creative stuff is involved look something like this:
- 2 finished images per month, one of them not a gift or trade for someone else
- Sketch, draw (or paint) all gen 1 Pokemon digitally, to practise the digital art thing.
- Write 48000 words of fiction

So far I've done 4.5 Pokemon (charmeleon is sketched, but I wanna ink and colour it), and that's it, because, as hinted at, spending more time than usual in bed trying to chase sleep, and being not really in top shape when awake. Oh, plus stress because appointments: One wall of my flat is getting damp, and that needs people to look at it and figure out how to fix it...

For the time being I think the pokemon will be posted in Scraps, because "sorta clumsy near-copy of promotional art done for practice" fits better there. We'll see if I manage to get more comfortable with digital, and correspondingly better.
