Hello everyone! It’s been a year and three days since I last posted. I will make this quick. When Steven Universe ended, I knew I wanted to do two things: host a final gemsona art event on my blog, and host a zine. However, I am reconsidering the zine because of the following:
1. The Corona Virus has made everyone’s lives go completely sideways and upside down. A lot of people are finding themselves very creative, or very much creatively blocked and run down from the stress and isolation. As quarantine drags on and different states/countries are flipping between opening and closing, I am not certain that people will find the inspiration and motivation to participate, especially when school comes around again (see next point).
2. The entire announcement time and creation period would go until the winter. This would be a busy time for students, especially with the new schooling formats due to the virus. Holidays would also take up the time a person may have to make art and/or write.
3. I know other SU zines have done charity and for-profit zines, but I worry about the legalities surrounding the sale of products containing pre-existing characters. I will do more research into this as I want there to be digital merch as well.
4. I am entering my senior year of college. I know that I have to make a cover page and possibly make merch to help with sales for the charity zine. I’m worried about rushing these important things and the quality coming out poorly, or pushing them off because of other priorities.
I want to host a zine or SOMETHING, but I don’t know how much traction I will gain with the show’s end and the virus’ toll on everyone’s lives. I want to create a bigger project for us to be proud of, but I don’t know how successful it will be. I will figure something out. If not a zine, maybe a calendar, or screen backgrounds, or a recipe book, or stories with matching artwork, or a mix of things! Maybe it will be strictly SU and SUF, or include gemsonas, or only be gemsonas. I don’t know, but if you feel some way strongly, please do leave me a message on this post, my chat, or send an ask to my inbox. Thank you so much for reading.
Uncertainty About Hosting a Zine (opinions wanted)
I finally have a name for my Sonic AU!
I’m calling it the Chaos Shard au…..
Man this was supposed to be a simple role swap how did it turn out like this 😅
I’m working on some “cover” art to share with more info but comic covers are really hard.
But I will go ahead and say this is a “Shadow is the protagonist” au because yes. I am trash.
Have some concept art to hold you over til then
I’ve been working on a couple AUs, some SU but one Sonic AU.
Would y’all like to see what I’ve got so far?
I’ve put way to much work onto this and still have more to do lol
Julian is in boxes
Edit: he’s taken
Edit edit: gates are closed now thanks for the interest and thanks for stopping by!
I guess you can still come over if you want but there’s not much else to do so 🤷♀️
Also Velma is making Bamboo Basket
He’s a good boy and has been good to me and my island (and his boyfriend Claude) kinda sad to see him go but I’m sure they can work out a long distance relationship.
If anyone wants to pickup this star crossed gentlehorse I’ll be opening my island for a bit
(Starting at 10:56 am EST)
Fruit trees are free to pick (bells are not) and please ignore the mess by my hybrid garden (I ran out of storage space in my house) (my house is a mess also oof)
Shops are open and idk what Turnip prices are.
You don’t need to give something in return but I wouldn’t mind it.
Dodo code is: 9VXBL
It’s first come first serve so try to get here fast if you can!
I still do art I swear….I’ve just been super unmotivated to finish anything so I made a quick coloring page edit to force myself to finish something. I think it turned out pretty good considering the image was soooooo small.
I turned Prince Eric and his daughter into my two vamore characters, Tim and Marina….they work off of different vampire lore don’t question it lol
So Admiral is visiting Tabk and now I can’t help but imagine Ta k as the old bird’s physical therapist, you know, to help keep him in his best health and stuff cause of his age.
It’s a cute idea.
