Birthday countdown! 6 days remain! + Test Comms?

Time ever flows so fast when you're busy. I'm just six days shy away from my birthday! The 25 YEARS OF COLOR will wrap up after my birthday, with an art piece celebrated being the final art piece of that event.

I'm now hitting up 26 along with my twin sister, so I am starting to enter the mid-20s' age demographic in life. As of now throughout this semester in college so far, I still feel that fall hasn't really taken off, due to little to no color change on the leaves in the trees so far. So basically, i figure that it's summer in October.

2018 has been a rough year for the most part. I say even more rough than last year. I wanted this year to be better, but yet, I jinxed it and expected too much of a good thing to happen only to fall. And I still have yet to completely recover from September, though things are getting better day by day. And yes, I am doing a Holiday project of 2018 this year. But it will be into 2 parts this time due to large space. All characters from last year will be imported through resourcing in order to save time and effort to make room for drawing in newcomers. So some of the characters may look outdated and a bit strangely drawn when looking back, but understand that my computer is not powerful and I don't have all the time in the world to literally re-draw every single character. But the characters that did not look good at all, or been given a new appearance or even a new character, they will be re-drawn. I am bound to have 450 characters. So I won't really have that many, as some will be replaced, either due to personal issues or large inactivity of not interacting with them for so long. I can't always fit everyone and sometimes we take turns being in projects. Though, there are a handful of characters that have been on all projects to date since the very first one in 2011. And what a surprise is, two characters will be returning back for the 2018 project. More on that in the future. It's all free to be in, by the way. But I think I got my 50+ newcomers in, already. With some taking place of a few ones that won't be returning.

I am also still doing tutoring for algebra as I am taking this a third time. I got a rather average score on the first exam, which is better than the other times I did tests in the first two tries of doing the class. I hope I can pass this time, hopefully. And I am gonna see if I can do some test commissions in the meantime. I really need to start earning some extra money for myself so I can do important things such as pay bills to help keep the lights on at night and have food to eat as well as supporting my family for what they need. I only did three so far. One this month. If anyone wants more info, I'll see if I can put up my prices and terms of service publicly. But doing so, you need to follow the guidelines such as seeing what I can and can't do, and the fact that you aren't allowed to share my payment email publicly or through anyone else. Because I am not a big business nor some enemy planning to do illegal activity, so expect not to do that.

Well, that's all I am gonna say for now. See you guys on the next journal. I'll definitely do one for my birthday.

- Blue out.
