Competition conundrums and DnD art

in #art3 years ago (edited)

Hi, guys!
So, it seems like my creative crisis really doesn't bother me anymore and I really got back to work. Let's hope that this creative state will last as long as possible, cause as I said in one of my previous posts May will bring me really saturated work (actually I really expect it and feel super excited about it). But still three big projects - damn it's a lot.

So I began thinking how can I group the tasks so that I could work on two projects covering two wholes at the same time. Meaning - what if when it'll come to illustration classes I will take my comic book as a main theme, and will create on the study classes pictures that I will need for comic book later? When I shared this idea with my hubby he said some really clever word (don't remember it, and still not even sure I understood what he meant), and he also said that it's a wide-spreaded technique. As always, everything was invented before us.

One thing doesn't go away from my mind. On two previous seasons I took part in a fan-battle, in the team that creates based on "Reflections of Aetherna" book series. By the way, lots of you guys told me that they never heard about this series, and it's natural cause it exists only in Russian, but may be you will hear about it soon enough, cause a Russian movie company decided to create a TV-series based on it. I already know that it will be really, really bad. But may be it will be a way to get familiar with the books.

But I got away from the main topic. So, I took part in a fan-battle. It's twice a year, in winter and in summer, the one in summer is longer, about three months, the one in winter in only month and a half. And previous summer and winter I had enough time and forces to participate. I can't say that now, not only because I will have three own projects to work with, but also cause damn, I saw things on that battle. Things I never want to see again, and, what's more important, things, that made me quit loving the series itself. Believe me, it was awful. I don't want to have anything in common with that competitions anymore.

But I really like the captain of my team. She's nice, and she's a good person, and she feels super nervous about how the next battle will go. Technically I understand, that I can't accept her invitation for the next battle. It's just - day has only 24 hours in it, and in my days 25 are already taken. But I still feel guilty. I hope I'll find a way to manage with that feeling, cause after all I owe nothing to that competition.

Can't leave the post with no visual content at all, so - process on creating my DnD party art. I finally made it together, and with music, so - I'll re upload it here. Previous video version wasn't that nice as this one:)
