About This Title
Nothing like a monthly newsletter that's 2 weeks late eh? It's September but still too hot out...
Shoutouts to 5K Runners adambomber, Rhetco, jd_07, Toxicmonkeydude, Bhh Th, Victory Kaiser, brnr and 10K Runner Rusty_Mailbox for your subs/resubs last month, and a big thank you to everyone who continues to support me and my art!
We're just about wrapping up the 2026 summer set, so I actually do gotta think about what to work on next. I spent quite a while on a yeet-chan set so I might be keen to shifting to some other stuff this month, perhaps some fanart perhaps some moonhawk art. And maybe some actual nsfw, can't forget that...
What else am I up to? Been playing Hades II for a good while. Got the credits roll, beat all the bosses in their upgraded forms, good stuff, and I think I'm just about ready to move on to another game. Excited for Metroid Ravenous in January, that trailer really exploded in popularity huh? Might join the club and play catch up on the other games leading up to the release. I fell in love with Dread when deciding to try it out on a whim and enjoyed Zero Mission and Prime remastered, but obviously there's a lot more to get through. Could this also lead to some more metroid fanart? We'll check back when I actually play some more.
Also I believe I mentioned a month or so back about a real interesting job offer that I didn't quite get but still amazed happened at all. Would you believe I almost got a contract gig with actual Discord? I knew a guy who knew a guy who needed for a graphic designer for their social media team, but thing is that isn't quite my wheelhouse as just straight illustrating. Would have been a 3-month gig that paid well and would've been a huge professional opportunity for me, albeit probably at the cost of having to drop everything else I was doing (including doing art here!). It's a hectic and fast-paced line of work, having to sometimes throw stuff together day-of! Kinda figured it wasn't gonna work out the more I heard the details, but also an offer like this doesn't come to me often so I had to take a shot at their little take-home assignment anyways.
Had just a literal day to get it done, all while I had to go to work! Feedback ended up being something like 'your art and concept looks good but doesn't quite fulfill the graphic design part'. I expected such, I dunno how to do corporate memphis vector art! However it doesn't end there, as for my effort they at least dropped me a 'we'll keep you in consideration for illustration needs' and a year of nitro. Still more than what I expected! It's worth going down swinging sometimes.
Still feels like a dream, all this happened out of nowhere on a weekend. Randomly being offered a gold star professional resume entry that I wasn't prepared for, how close was I really? Should I really ought to try to learn more graphic design? Try to polish my craft more in general, knowing the possibility of such an opportunity that may come knocking again? Perhaps something worth pondering on...
