I tell ya, it has been harder than anticipated to keep the journal updated like I'd like this trip. No matter! It's been really good. I finally bit the bullet and made an art Tumblr! I've had this idea for a bit now, but truth be told, I'm always iffy about posting into a void, which my other art presences have become. That said, it was the response dcb was getting on his sketches that emboldened me to give it a go.
I had this burst of inspiration very late the other night (we're talking "I went to bed at 6:30" late—did I mention I've just sorta still been operating on East Coast times this entire trip?) to put Cammy on top of a Bryce3D render. I do still love Bryce a lot, and realizing the projects I'd worked on were five minutes from disappearing with the second death of the eMachines Box has made them more precious to me. I shall do another one while I'm here. The Cammy was pretty automatic. I'm good at drawing dweebs by now.
What wasn't automatic was the response I got from this! As of writing, both my Tumblr advertisement and the Cammy with ghosts drawing from last trip I posted alongside it have 30 notes. 30! In 12 hours! I'm one or two off from 15 followers in the first day. The rush I'd gotten while we were waiting in Jollibee for our food earlier was immense. I've gotten really used to basically zero reaction, keep in mind. This advertisement drawing did sweet dick all on Sheezy, and got one notification each on FurAffinity and Weasyl, both from the same person. I really was ready to just post on autopilot and ignore everything, because all these sites do is let me down. Tumblr? Tumblr likes me.
What that means to you is completely fair. For me, I'm excited to post more. You can expect to see two posts a week of just solid back catalog stuff into October, by my calculations, let alone finished stuff until then. Remember, coffeecoloredbadger on Tumblr, follow right here. For now, I'm gonna vibe and work off the beer buzz I got watching Red Dwarf with Caby in the lounge tonight. Very funny show, and her folks now own the entire original run on DVD! Everyone won today.
