Feeling Better

I've been sick for nearly four full days, almost completely bedridden. This morning I woke up feeling better than I had before. I need to stop being so bad on my body and eating more. But when you draw for 8 hours straight, I don't even think about food. Lately i've been forced to drink Emergen-C which is just vitamins and water. I'm hoping I can start drawing again today, because I have 3 Commissions left to finish.

Blogging

Right now I switched to Tumblr. The main thing that i'm not liking about Tumblr, is that I can't look at statistics about my blog. I can't see pageviews, popular posts, etc. It also doesn't give people a warning they are entering an adult section. To me that's an issue, because I don't want people to see this stuff unless they want to.

That's why I am usually very uneasy about posting my art on G+. On one hand I want to show people who like it, but i'm also worried that people who don't want to see it, will see it. Giving me a reputation I don't want to earn. Another thing is I didn't really like the fact that Tumblr doesn't have ways to add comments beyond liking and reblogging. I like responding to comments, and the only way to do that on Tumblr is to send messages. Not that blogger was much better, since their comments didn't allow you to post anonymously either. On top of this I was worried that a lockout on G+ would shut down my blog too.

In the end I'd like to lower the amount of websites I use. I have a Twitter, but everyone who follows me is also on G+, and I never really post anything on Twitter that I don't post on G+. So why am I using Twitter? Twitter is very popular as a social networking tool in japan, but i've seen most people here pretty much just use G+ and only G+. I guess the less websites I use the better, the more condensed my viewerbase is, the better. Allowing me to reach more people at once without having to have a million and a half links.

I'd like to hear other's thoughts.

A Very Lupie Halloween

I've come to a realization last night while working on pt.2 that perhaps an artbook this early was a bit too ambitious. I have a tendency to run myself faster, and harder than I should. My ultimate goal is ofcourse having fans and making them happy. However I also would love to make a living at my art. Not only in Doujinshi, but VNs and pictures like these.

To put things in perspective, this picture would have cost around $70 to commission me, which considering that it took 12hours to finish, is around $5.80/hour that's less then minimum wage. To draw 8 pictures like this, it would be $560. To then break even I would have to sell 93 copies. That means that almost every person on my watch list would have to buy a copy.

That will never happen. I suspect at this rate, I might get 10 sales. I'd love a 100 sales, but that's wistful thinking. So I decided that I will be drawing three pictures.

Witch, Mummy, Maid

I will be giving them to you guys for free, in their full wallpaper size. I just ask that you watch and support me, and hopefully in the future as I grow and become better I can deliver you guys a great artbook.
