It seems like my procrastination/fatigue/zombie-mode took its toll.
I was so busy working and concentrating on fitness things that I completely forgot to sign up for the artist alley of Otakuthon 2016. How's that for a total fail?
I'm going to take that as a sign that I need to sit this one out until I get my shit back together art-wise.
Right now, I'm doing less and less art things day after day, but I know I can fix this.
It's not about "taking time off" anymore.
It's about sitting down with fellow artists and friends and discussing how to be more efficient, inspired and productive, without making a chore out of it.
Lately, I've been focusing a lot more on fitness and healthier lifestyle changes. Not only for the prospect of maaaaaybe cosplaying SubZero (20% chance, bleh), but also for myself as well.
One of the major changes this brought to my habits is that I can't stay up really unreasonably late to draw (3-4AM) anymore. That's usually the small stretch I need to draw MNTGaiden.
It also doesn't help that my inspiration and productiveness at its peak late at night.
Any attempt to draw before 10PM has me staring stupidly at a blank sheet of paper.
I rarely think about drawing any other time of the day because I have bigger priorities like doing chores, working, socializing, cooking, eating, etc.
I need a good night's sleep to work at the office without falling asleep and hit the gym without hurting myself. This is not something I can cut short.
In short, this is how things have changed for me lately:
-more socializing (get togethers with pals)
-much less alcohol (only once every 2-3 weeks)
-taking up yoga classes
-almost never eating out
-more cooking huge quantities of food to store and eat later
-eating 6 times a day, or almost constantly throughout the day
-more sleep
-less drawing
Let's get thinking now.
There's no Otakuthon, so I need to get my shit back together. If it's at all possible.
