Since I’m in the final stages of having braces, I’ve been experiencing a lot of discomfort. I scheduled 2 weeks off from updating my comics on Webtoon and Tapas, and in that time, I’ve cut myself some slack and done some art for fun. “Aimless” art is really helpful when you’re experiencing some burnout or fatigue. These days most of my art ( if it isn’t comic pages or covers) tends to be either concept work for future projects or promotional work for currently projects. This week I’ve gotten to draw pieces just for my own enjoyment. I watched all of the Rocky films recently and wanted to give some fan art a go. I’m pretty happy with the results, and the two pieces were a good opportunity to stretch some muscles I haven’t used in a long time. That’s a perk to fan art. It often challenges you to draw things you don’t draw often—or at all. Hoping to make weekly blog posts a thing, often including some art or a pic of what I’m working on that week. I’m also thinking it won’t be a specific day...gotta keep you on your toes! Also because my schedule fluctuates greatly from week to week, so I don’t want to commit to a hard schedule that I can’t keep. In other news, I’ve been working on my novel Brightlite Records: ‘87 this week as well. It’s hovering around 54k words currently, but frankly it feels like I’m only at the midway point with the story, so we’ll see how long it winds up being. I’ve always wanted to publish a hefty 300+ page novel, so this might be the one! That’s all from me for now though.
All the best, -Lissie Dixon
