Howdy DeviantArt. Long time no see. Well I mean I've been here, but not seriously. Here's the lowdown with my current projects, just so you are aware of what is going on.
- Marks is mostly on hold until further notice. I am still writing it in the background, but to you it will look like it's on hold.
- Project 13 is not on hold, but it will look like it. I'm working out script kinks and stock piling pages right now.
- That logo contest I was holding a while back didn't get very many entries, so I want to give it until the end of the summer to accumulate some more. August 31st is the new due date. You may update your entries if you already submitted during the time left if you like.
- Commissions are going along well, and should be done sometime next month.
- I have been neglecting art that I owe such as contest prizes and trades, but the list is still up, and you can check the status next to this journal. These will be worked on more heavily when I finish commissions.
- That comic project I talked about before I started work will have to wait until I have way more free time, because it will take a lot of managing and I don't want to disappoint anyone by trying it and failing. Later! I will try it again sometime.
- I will be working on answering comments today and tomorrow.
So, now to the good stuff. I want to do a summer project while everyone's out of school. I'm still working full time, but I'm finally being able to manage my time better. (And my room's clean so I don't have to spend every day off cleaning it. XD)
I want to do a Warriors comic/story/roleplayish thing. I want to create a clan and tell the story of it, while collaborating with a bunch of artists.
This is how I imagine it will go: We will start out by creating character refs, and then 4 people will start the story with me. The number of members will rise gradually. It won't be a roleplay in the traditional sense, because we will plan the story ahead of time, so as to present it to the audience. The roleplaying will come in so we have character dialogue that sounds realistic. You will be in control of your own character. We will collaborate on the pictures and comics we submit.
We will meet every few days in a dA chat room, where we will do our planning. I will only be available at certain times (usually before 11:30am and after 9pm EST and then on my days off which are different every week), so if you miss a meeting, someone will have to fill you in.
Anyone who would like to join, please design a character ref, and send me a note with a link to it. Please keep your design natural. It doesn't have to be normal, but no blue cats with purple eyes. You can have a white cat with black stripes, but keep the colors and patterns natural.
Include a personality in your note or on the ref.
Do not start out with a warrior name, you will earn one later. A kittypet name, or if you start as a stray, a self given name is how we're all starting.
I will probably just pick the characters that seem like they'd work out well to begin with. If I don't pick you now, you will still have a chance later.
So, get to work, and note me when you're done! I'll be posting my character later today.

New Accounts
Due to the... current climate on this site, I've been thinking it might be good to have a backup of my old art from my @InvaderTigerstar account in case I no longer wish it to be stored here on DA. I considered throwing it all on my FA account, but decided not everyone may like seeing my old stuff for months on end, so I made an Invadertigerstar account on FA specifically for that back-up. I won't be posting everything there, but there are some goodies I've found thus far, so if you'd like a blast from the past, go check it out. I have also made an Itaku where I am also sharing the back-log. Once that's finished that account will share my new art as well. Follow me there if you like! Octobertiger! I have also made a Bluesky account, although I think I'm going to wait until my FA and Itaku uploading projects are done, before I'll do the same there. You're welcome to follow me there as well! Octobertiger! I also have an Instagram that I'll probably dust off. Octobertiger13 I've said
Hi
I'm not going to say I'm back, because every time I've done that I've been pulled away for some reason and gone and died again. But also hello again! I have a week of uploads planned.
Art Trade Anyone?
I'd be open for a couple of simple art trades. Characters only, no backgrounds, simple color. Busts or full bodies. Comment on this journal if you'd be interested and what characters you'd like to see me draw and/or who you'd like to draw for me. I'll be asking you to finish your half first if I pick you to trade with.
Back Again!
Wow, writing a journal is a total cluster now, huh? Wild. Anyways, I'll probably be posting art again semi regularly. I drew a few cats recently and realized it was incredibly cathartic and relaxing, so I scheduled time every week to draw cats. DeviantArt is kinda lame now though, so I'll probably be more active on Twitter and FurAffinity so come say hi~! I'm also re-opening my Etsy shop! I need to figure out my printer situation before I make any new bookmarks, but I will be going back to selling my old stock, of which there's still a decent amount~
