Description
Will post a more detailed year-end summary as a journal (probs either around new years or first dates of January)

The good: I can actually see my own improvement (shocku) and I like where my art is going.
The bad: This year was a horrid health hazzard for me. Legit. Never had a year as bad (health wise) as this one in my whole life. //tear// Did only half as many completed drawings this year compared to 2017. ; v ;//

The good in the bad: I learned a lot more about my own body and how to deal with various potential dangers, learning about TPM (trigger point massage) is a huge thing among that. Second huge thing is intermittent fasting, my life has become way easier/simpler/more efficient since learning about it.

The ???: A lot of changes in my process/working methods/etc. I love the results for completed images, but the timing has become mysterious and I'm regaining my ability to estimate/predict completion dates very slowly with a lot of hick-ups in between.

Going forward:
<> I'd like to catch up with delayed stuff ASAP! I'm doing my best and working pretty much all the time (with as little as 2-3 days off per month), and even then I slip in some drawing, ha ha. It just takes time to catch up. Most of my commissioners are incredibly kind, patient and understanding, but yeah... it takes time. That's the only issue - it takes time.
<> To avoid further frustrations I am currently giving the date I can start working on the picture leaving the completion date open. Because some pictures just take more time and the only way I would be able to finish them sooner is by rushing and that wouldn't be my best work. And where's the meaning in doing art for a living if I can't at least give my best. It's plain soul crushing and no one wins in the end.

<> On a brighter note, I would like to do 300 adopts/designs in 2019. *3*//
<> And if fate/god/gods/universe/space kraken grants me better health this year, then I would love to get back to same level of productivity as I had in 2017. (aka, twice as much completed work)

And that's the short version! Thank you for viewin' and have a nice day! <3
