March Finale
Mar. 27th, 2022 05:39 pm Sure, March isn't over yet, but it really should be. Everyday for the last week I've woken up with the vibe that it's around the end of the month, the 28th usually, only to find out that we're nowhere close. It has me completely outta whack and I'd love it to just be all over with already, thanks.
First of all, I've finally made progress in sorting my shelves! Now, this was more of a February thing but I took these pictures February 28th so that's basically March. It belongs here.
Over the last few years but especially during the pandemic I've slowly amassed goods that have been cruelly trapped in their boxes desperate for air. I've never actually displayed merch before and had no idea where I should put any of it, so it took until I hit a small critical mass and the desire to finally organize my apartment to get it done. And I got it done!!!
Be free my many Sabers, be free!
I do have a few more misc things to put up but they may need to wait until I have enough to dedicate a new shelf to. It's a learning experience, I have no idea what I'm doing!!
I'm still amazed that Fangamer got to release official Breath of Fire 1 Ryu and Nina plushies.
Now, what did I actually accomplish in March? A good amount but it feels like not much at all? The pandemic has had me super living in my own lil bubble, especially since all my friend's have been off play Elden Ring and my vibe's been outta whack in different ways every single week.
Pushing aside the annoying things like my sleep schedule reversing itself two days before I had to be awake during the morning for apartment repairs, I pushed through and accomplished a couple things.
The most important of those things, is I managed to get a few commissions done!! While only two so far, and hopefully a third before the calendar flips over, it's still a huge accomplishment for me. I was aiming for one a week, but it's no big deal that I didn't meet that goal. I'm trying to take it easy this year after grinding myself into the dust for the last who knows how many and letting myself pick away at comms as my mood allows me is quite fun so far. I did try to get a sitting doll done as a surprise gift in there as well, but I just really lose my spirit quite easily on those more complicated dolls and I'm just gonna stick to lil guys for now.
First was this lil plush of Chase, Ottermochi's OC!. I wanted to find the full body ref they gave me because it was very cute, but we will have to bask in chibi Chase's presence for now. Chase was one of those designs where I went oh!!!!! I can make this SUPER CUTE as a plush and I was right. I wish every design was like that but alas, my brain can be quite a snob when it comes to what motivates it sometimes.
Her lil shorts are actually double layered, with the visible part being “rolled up” and a lighter blue compared to the shorts underneath. It's a small detail that ended up being invisible but one I still stressed over, scouring my fabric drawers for a gentle combo of blues for.
My second victory, one that came shockingly quick after the first, was this commission of Caffienatedjedi's Fox OC Leah. Her biiiiiig ears appealed to me and I had to get her done! I actually had to redo her head (post embroidery, pre sewing it all together thankfully) because I chose a yellow that was a bit stronger, before realizing I had a more fitting one off to the side that I had purchased a few months ago. I was absolutely right in this decision, as not only is it visibly a softer yellow, it is literally probably the softest minky I own. I'm still amazed at how silky soft it is, perfect for those ears and fluffy tail that beg to be touched.
That's basically it for what I can talk about at the moment. I want to talk about Witch Explorer which I spent the last couple weeks playing, but it deserves it's own post. I also actually did a big art project that I'm over the moon with how good it looks, but it's a Vtuber model that's for my friend so I can't really publicly show it off until they rig and show it off someday in the far future.
Alas （=´∇｀=）
Let's keep some positive energies going for a lovely April full of good vibes and warm weather so I can escape my apartment!!
