Kept you waitin' huh?

It's been a while since I've done one of these, but that's mostly because my life is a tad boring at certain points

But man, this month has been anything but

First of all, I turned 22 on July 3rd

We had a barbecue at my work, and it was pretty fun, but that's mostly it, not much has changed besides that

Second, I've been back to doing art, and somehow, I've been doing really well

In fact, I've been fucking killing it all things considered

One day I just decided to pick up my pen and tablet again, and BAM, complete artstyle change, and somehow I'm

making cool looking shit

I've made this piece based on a song I've been listening religiously recently, and I thought it fitted with my character pretty well, so I made an edgy piece, both as a tribute to the song, and as an experiment with this new artstyle I'm experimenting, and I really like how this piece ended up looking

And today, I made this, which is a piece to showcase the design for one of my characters of my yet-to-be-released webcomic, The Elemental Twins, which is something that's been in the makings for about a decade now, and although I initially planned to abandon this piece entirely since I wasn't digging how it was shaping up, I hercules'd through it, and the end result really satisfies me. I'm glad I actually sat down to finish it, this, alongside the piece I've made yesterday are some of the coolest things I've made thus far, and I want to continue to try and make more of these, and if possible, draw the rest of the Twins aswell, and get the webcomic finally out there instead of just leaving it on the backburner/concept hell, so yeah, big plans all around

Lastly, I'm working with my good friend @yokucasper in making a game on Godot, with him handling the sprites and most of the art, while I handle things like UI designs and the programming part itself

Although things have slowed down considerably due to both him and me having awful weeks recently, I'm still slowly but surely getting back to it, and I do have some huge plans for it for the future

The image below is just a concept art, but you can get the idea.

Either way, wasn't the best of months, in actuality, it's been incredibly stressful, but I do admit, lots of good came from it aswell, and I don't plan to slow down any time soon (despite the fact every time I say this, I somehow dissapear every time without fail) so if you're a huge fan of RootPain (AKA June S. Sai (AKA Big Whiskey)) you'll probably have a good time

If you don't like me, or just outright hate me, too bad

You'll still see my face everywhere.

And before closing this, I gotta say; It's always fun to be around here, I've made some really good friends, made some stuff that some people seem to enjoy a ton, and it makes me pretty happy that people still haven't given up hopes on NG aswell, despite how bleak things may look from time to time

Keep doing your thing, and keep yourself real, not only for everyone else, but also yourself

If something is truly your passion, don't let the mediocrity of the world taint it.

Keep killing it

I'll see you around.
