Just need to focus on this drawing for a few hours so if anyone wants to hang out

Well, now that the "mural" is done, it's time to move on to other things. I'll briefly go over a few plans I have for future projects

1st and most important, the comic. I had to put this off for a while but now I'm making it my next biggest priority. I've been slowly working on writing chapters in the background and I'm starting to get a feel of how I want it to go and where I want the story to end up. I'm planning to have at least the cover done this month and some various character bios soon after that

2nd, I want to make another mod. Specifically for Terraria, I've been meaning to get around to updating the first one I made, but after that I'm going to move onto to something else. It'll likely be another reskin & I've got a few ideas for what to make so hopefully it'll be done in a few weeks.

3rd, I need to rethink what I'm going to do with streaming. Right now I'm thinking it might only be twice a month at least for a bit, I don't think it's going to be a huge priority going forward but might still be fun once in a while.

4th, I really need to look into some forms of monetization. I've been thinking about making a Patreon/Subscribestar sometime soon but I really need to know if it's something people would be willing or able to contribute to. I've been really hesitant about this just knowing the gaps of time between my uploads, but I would like to at least start working towards making this a career.

And lastly, I'll still be putting out the usual smaller pieces every so often, so just expect more stuff to come.

That's about it from me for now. Thank you for your time and support & I'll see ya around

I've made some updates to the image size of the legendary "mural" as well as created a Dropbox link to download the full size image so please enjoy:

Just another quick progress report on the "mural"

-Sketch: Finished

-Outline: Finished

-Color: Finished

-Shading: Finished

-Highlights: Almost Finished

-Outline Bolding: Almost finished

-Light sources/ Particle effects: started; maybe halfway done

-Background: Pending

-Final touch-up: Pending

It's actually looking like this might be done soon, although I am now fast approaching the dreaded background stage, which I still don't know how I'm going to do. I've got the layout it's just going to be actually painting it that I'm going to have problems with. I'm going to start looking into some ideas and then getting in some practice before I actually start doing it.

But other than that I'm still really optimistic. I'm hoping to have it out by the end of May (for real this time & I know I said that about March & look how that went so we'll see.) I'll still try to get some more stuff out in the meantime also. Anyway, have a good one.

So as it stands, here's the current progress of the Legendaries drawing:

-Sketch: Finished

-Outline: Finished

-Color: In progress

-Shading: Almost finished

-Highlights: Pending

-Light sources/ Particle effects: Pending

-Background: Pending

-Final touch-up: Pending

I'd say it's maybe around 50% done at this point, there's still quite a ways to go but a lot of the hard stuff has already been taken care of. I think the biggest hurdle now is just gonna be the background (which honestly could be a whole nightmare by itself for me)

I'm aiming for it to be done by the end of march at this point, just gotta keep putting in a good handful of hours into it each week before then

Hey so, this is kind of out of nowhere, but I'm gonna be streaming work on a mural I'm making if you want to come and check it out: https://picarto.tv/AwfulSamuraiI'm gonna give this a shot and see if it maybe helps the process along a bit. It's definitely a first time experiment so I'm sure there'll be kinks to work out, but I'll try and get them fixed where needed

The rest of this month I'm going to be working on one more single character drawing and the pokemon mural. If I have enough time left before the month ends I'll see if I can get out the comic cover also.

I'm gonna change what I'm doing for that huge project I was talking about at the beginning of the year. Instead of being based around the Godzilla: KotM movie, I'm just gonna base it on the gen 4 legendaries from pokemon and it'll just be one big mural now. So I'm still gonna do something crazy-huge, just want to change the subject matter. Hopefully it'll be out by the end of the month.
