My extremely brief eBay adventure
So, funny story.
I thought I could try selling my traditional art on eBay a few weeks ago. I started a store and I put stuff up there. My mindset was, people go to eBay to buy things. It didn't necessarily rely heavily on me having a huge online following right away (though that would obviously help if I led people to the page) because people who were looking for something specific on eBay were there with intent to buy.
I'd listed several of my traditional sketches. Got a few views, but no purchases for a while. And then eventually, one of my drawings sold... this one. It didn't sell for much but hey, first time selling an original piece online--I was inspired. I shipped it, got paid, all was well.
And then maybe a week after that was done, I got an email saying that my eBay account was PERMANENTLY suspended.
No clear reason why, but the email said it was because of 'activity that was putting the entire eBay community at risk'. The email said the decision wasn't made lightly
Updates and Stuff: December 2021
I'm just spending most of my creative time working on the Jet Dancer game as always. I feel like the project is really starting to come together. I have more levels finished than needing to be finished, but the project still needs a lot of polish.
I decided to take a step back from most social media since the middle of last month, and it's really been helping me clear my head. I find myself less interested in drawing for the sake of drawing and more interested in getting this game project done, both so I can say I actually made a video game and also because I have tons of other ideas I want to act on. I've learned the value of doing things one step at a time, but I've been working on the Jet game for way too long. I'm sure whatever 'fame' the character had has long since faded thanks to my feet dragging, but I've come too far to just give up.
It's not that I haven't been drawing, but I haven't seen much point in finishing too many random pinups or posting the ones I did finish. Just
Updates and Stuff - December 2020
It's been a while since I've done this. I was just thinking that I used to write journals much more often back in the day. I don't necessarily have a ton of things to ramble on about, it's pretty much the same old same old for me, but I'd like to get back into the habit of writing about what's going on with me and my work on a regular basis.
As my watchers and friends are no doubt aware, I've largely left my regular drawing work to the side to focus on making a game based on my WEAPON Combat League concept. I know a lot of my watchers would have preferred to see something else. I actually believe some people who follow me don't really understand why that concept seems to be number one in my mind while characters like Jet Dancer came from the same head.
I can't really say why either. I just know that WCL is something I found fun and comfortable to develop. I've designed countless characters, but the cast of WCL is one that just seemed to work with my style not just of drawing, but of
RPB Sprites...
I really enjoy making sprite builds out of my characters. I'm starting to be more interested in improving and mastering this than I am in building actual games. Maybe that's a problem, but it's fun right now.
I want to make sprites out of these characters next:
