Something i think is; alarming, disappointing, and odd is the fact that over the course of the month i got 6 attacks done. But when the last day or two roll around IM ABLE TO WORK ON 7 ATTACKS???? i hate my brain and how it can work sometimes in regards to motivation; I didn't even get everything i wanted to do done; there was still one piece i wanted to do with a friends oc, sure i can do it in the off season but it doesn't feel as special (i can still do it tho).
I am still proud of myself; i got my overall to 50% (current one is almost 60%) and cleared out most of my bookmarks [mind you i still have 3 revenges that need to get done]. i dont know if next year anything will, but i hope i'm able to do more with artfight in the time given tbh. Mind you; before i conked out after artfight, i was running on a 2/3 hr nap-- it probably helped ALOT despite the fact im a bit sad with the time loss. Actually i think the largest time loss was not utilizing the time in artfight appropriately (time blindness and low motivation be damned). Maybe next year i'll do better, but who knows. I also conked out super hard after i felt i couldn't put out any more attacks btw.
gg's for artfight this year; i'm still tired lol.
(Also more then definitely need to get an appointment with the chiropractor soon-)
So for the people who care to see this; I've participated in artfight numerous times. 5th year participating, would've been 6 if i had chosen team dream, but that's not the point and I've realized i have had a problem with having more then i can chew...
Currently i have 17 bookmarks. Three of which are being worked on currently, now procrastination and general wanting to do other things get in the way.. Except this time now i feel like I've piled my plate up a bit too high; a lot of my friends are joining in on the fight this year. And as much as i wanna attack them i realized that if i attacked all of them at least once, that would be a massive deal of time; plus i occasionally have self made deadlines for attacks that I'd prefer to achieve earlier rather then later!
My solution that is kinda working is having a folder for revenges and ones to attack's if i have the time or motivation. I already have friends i wanna attack, characters from last year collecting dust, and some new competitors i really really wanna draw! Sure the bottom of the barrel stuff is 6 while the other stuff is 11, but its way easier to manage considering i have the folders for friends, last years bookmarks, and this years-- which makes it a less daunting task.
I'll admit; i was very very ambitious to try and think that i could mentally handle the work and i had to decide to not attack my friends oc's unless i legit had an idea in mind or was inspired for any of them. But 11 attacks is still alot, i have only done like 2 attacks so far tbh, 4 are currently in the works, and then we just have the other 7! My goal is usually to cover up the six slots from last year.
Personally i thinking of going with a strat to just work on line art and sketches first before revisiting other unfinished attacks and working on coloring and maybe shading. We'll see how that goes, if it even sticks!
