Ok, if you follow me on Facebook, you probably already know that I was sick the last week of December, which retard the rewards of December. And I was pretty busy with unrelated stuff the whole firt week of January (which was pretty exhausting to be honnest).
Don't worry, the rewards are almost on their way ! Just need a few test to be sure the result will be AMAZING for the oracle card (and the other stuffs). I'm kinda REALLY excited hahaha 😄
As already said on Facebook, here's my "new year resolutions" (well, more like tasks than resolutions for me) :
From now on, the months of December, January and February will be used to rebuild my stocks for the year (mittens, resins etc) to reduce my overall workload for the rest of the year🏗. There are a lot of people in winter depression, for me, it's during summer that I'm not doing well, so I arrange to have as little as possible work to do for those months (except Altarion, because that's whats helping me to feel better during those months).
I will definitely take better care of my health 💊 and therefore listen to me as a priority (and also put in priority my family).
I will participate every month in an artistic challenge 🎨 by imposing me a minimum of 15 (or 14 for February 😅 ) drawings per challenge, with a maximum time reserved for these challenges of 2h/drawing (Of course, if I hold the whole month without impacting the rest of my goals, that would be great).
Except from December to February, I'll draw a minimum of 4 Altarion boards per month🖼. From December to February, I reduce to 2 boards, always to avoid putting too much pressure on me and ending up in burnout by wanting to "do too much". This does not mean that I will only do 4 boards if I feel able to do more.
I maintain 1 oracle card per month, as a monthly illustration too. 🪬
If I have time outside of Altarion and the different orders, I’ll be moving on my Eating You project. Good to know, Eating You is a Spin Off from the Altarion universe (for those who were worried that I put too many different projects on my shoulders), so I will be working on it full time officially at some point.
I’m going to stream 🎬, both drawing and relaxing stream (because you need relaxation in all this). Provided that the temperature allows me to (when we had -5° outside, my workshop was at 10°, hard to draw and stream under these conditions).
WeekEnds (outside art fair/salons/conventions) are reserved for relaxation, family and me.🎭 This means that I do not work during the weekend, and therefore I would not answer ANY request/question/message/whatever concerning work from Saturday midnight to Sunday 23:59 and 59 seconds.
I will schedule 1 show/convention/festival per month min, from March to November 🧝♀️
Here's the dates already booked :
8th-9th April - Japan Day Arlon
20th-21th May - Comic Con Brussels Spring
12th-13th August - Elftopia (Gent)
28th-29th October - Valjoly'maginaire (France) - waiting for confirmation
4th-5th November - Comic Con Brussels Fall
Still need dates for : March, June, July and September. If you hear anything, please, let me know !
So, that's it for now, I'll go back to work and hope to see you soon on my streams, or anywhere else ! 😊🖤🧡🎉
