PC working again...now...what?

Well, as some of you already know, my PC is finally working again!!

I could save the money for the repair and fortunately, the motherboard could be saved.

Now, that i recovered my main tool of work...what is the next step?

Well, i´ve begin to work on illustrations!  For my Patreon supporters, i´m working an illustration based on a Final Fantasy character.  It´s in progress yet:

About manga stories:

1. I began to do updates for readers of "Angel Guardian" in Tapastic and LineWebtoons
2. "Weakness" is beginning to be updated in Tapastic and LineWebtoons.
3. "Fat Neko and Tanuki Girl"  are being updated in Tapastic and LineWebtoons

Aditionally to this, my friend Lucius and I are working on a short thriller story.  Soon we will share more details.

In the Facebook fanpages, we did a folder where you could find easily the products available about our stories en Zazzle.  Soon, we will do the same about the other stores.

 As you see, we had not wasted time to begin to work hard on the stories and continue doing our best!

I have not planned yet when i will return to update the others fancomics and stories, but as soon as i have time, i will be working on them!

Planning to keep sanity

This week has been very intense!! Too much things to do, planning others, following issues...

It can lead you to stress, madness and frustration if you cannot handle it properly!

If you want to be productive and see results, organizing tasks, prioritize and schedule them is a must to do. In other way, you will be all time running behind the monster of your work, trying to catch it and wasting energy and time unnecessarily.

So, at the moment to plan your work, keep in mind the following:

1.- Divide the task in little tasks.  This will help you to see real progresses and will motivate you.  For example, when i plan a manga page, i make the plan in function of quantity of pages sketched, lineart, screentones, etc. Every time you finish one of the little tasks, you will feel energized for the succeed goal and you could see your real progresses!

2.- Plan in base of real. Expecting to do a comic book on a night when you are tired and in not your best inspirational moment is not only unreal to do but it will lead you to stress trying to get the goal and frustration when it cannot be done.  It's better to be realist and make the plan considering the resources we have, the time, physical and emotional conditions.  While better you feel, it will be easier to produce more.

3.- Have fun.  Almost all people i know that work in art area is because love it!!  So continue enjoying it even when it is for work.  Remember, if you work on something you love, you are not working but having fun!!!

Before to close the entry, i want to say to readers of "Angel Guardian" that support in Patreon there is a surprise there! Hurry! And if you are not supporter yet  want to become in one, it' s very easy the process!! Just join to the page and follow the instructions for become a supporter.  The July month campaign will be focused on Fanart ;)

See you in the next entry!!

Updating around here...

Long time since i did the last entry!

The lack of my PC definitely has affected my frequency of updates in many sites and the interaction with followers but it has not stopped me to continue doing my best with the tools i have at hand.

The last project I've been working on with other great artist is "Fat Neko and Tanuki Girl adventures".  With this project, we want to work on comics and funny stories and mix them with educative material as the promotion of animal protection for example.

We have begin to publish the first stories in Tapastic and Webtoons and we are very happy with the support of readers!

We are uploading some designs in our Redbubble Store and is very exciting to see readers sharing and liking it.

We will continue working on this project with a lot energy and enthusiasm!!

Hi, hi! ♫

Hi!!

How are you? ^^

The year began a little slow for me.  I had troubles with my internet for the last three weeks, so i just could checked some few things through my cellphone.  Finally was resolved!

But it was not as bad after all:  I was planning many things, scheduling activities and suddenly... no internet!!  One of my main tools of work!

So, i re-evaluated things, took other decisions,  found other ideas and now...i`m rescheduling everything! ^^

Talking about reschedule, i found an online tool that was very useful for me.  It`s Trello.  Since i am the type of person that like organize everything, make plannings, etc.  I found this tool help me to do it with all my projects in one place.  I left you the link here just in case some of you want to test it and can be as useful for your works as it is with mine ^^  https://trello.com 

Stay tune up!  New things are comming very soon!  

... And with it a new start in life.

Last year was full of good and not so good experiences. I learned some life lessons easily, others in the rude way.

However, I'm not complaining about these last ones that helped me growing as a person and broaden my vision as an artist. They also made me realize the people who are with me forever, no matter where in the world they are. For these people will always be my eternal gratitude.

Among the positive things both personally and professionally are:

- Recognition of years of work.

- Assigning of projects that demanded a lot of work and attention, but they made me feel satisfied with the final results.

- Improvement in the work of the anatomy.

- Practice of traditional drawing as my pc is damaged and learning techniques that help me solve with few resources. (Every cloud has a silver lining, we say in my country;))

- A new kitten called Sussie, which is now Marilyn sister to keep her company while I'm at work.

- I was able to wear high heels after years of not being able to use them for health issues.

- The "resurrection" of Versailles! (Those who know me know I'm a fan of Versailles, hehehe!)

On things that were not so well i could say:

- My main work PC was damaged and I could not fix it so far.

- Some health issues.

- The loss of my dear kitten Kiss.

- General situation of my country that end affecting general level topics.

- I met great friends that even though they are not physically at my side, they were with me celebrating the new year with me!  Thanks internet for this!! <3

As you see, I prefer to make the longest list of good things that the things not as positive as I want to focus on what I need to improve and leave behind what does not leave me anything productive or that can no longer be changed.

This year, on the artistic side, I want to devote myself to improve perspectives and backgrounds without neglecting the study of anatomy.

I also want to resume webcomics, that helps me a lot to have fun, get the creative side and enjoy my favorite characters.

As I can no longer go to the speed with which I usually work, I decided to take it easy, no stress, and make a plan to help me work with in order even when my head goes a thousand revolutions per minute.

I have high expectations at this like the best stage of my life, however expectations and desires are nothing if we do not work for them, and the word “work” does not intimidate me, by the opposite, it motivates me.

I wish for each and every one of you a great year full of happiness, health and success. Dream in big and work for it!

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2016!
