I mostly paint digital except for some sketches in my sketchbook here and there but every year around christmas I pack out my acrylics and watercolors to make some presents and learn all over again exactly why I don't like painting traditional.

It's just all the little inconveniences. Having to make sure to have proper lighting, not being able to easily fix mistakes, things just taking longer.

Arcane season 2 coming out gave me a big push in art motivation and I think I am now getting to the point again where that is calming down back to usual.
Like I do still have quite a few fanart painting ideas I want to make but I don't feel this itch to make them anymore. It's now just like "yeah I want to paint that" and not "I need to get this out of my system" if that makes any sense.
So I will still get to those paintings, but I won't rush to make them probably.

With that and all the painting studies I made I started trying to lean more into a painterly artstyle. And I like it on some level but I feel like my paintings often came out looking unfinished.
Which I think is largely due to them being pretty rough.
I want to spend more time in the early stages of a painting to clean things up more and make more of a plan. I think that might help.

Also I've been really slacking off with working on my game (The Slumbering Sword) and I need to get back into that more.
I think I might have settled on an artstyle that's a little to ambitious for me but I do want to see it through now, partially because I do believe I can manage it. It's more that I'm a bit intimidated to work on it I guess.
