weekly talk 231 (Patreon)

ouuups totaly forgot it once again

BTW, verified my identity with patreon, so they shouldn't close the page or anything

So here we go

Workflow:
I'm not really super duper happy with the first pieces of the elite batch this time. I wanted to try other techniques, i did, but i'm not fond of the result, decided to go to more known method to work on the last piece, the nun one and.. well, i think we can all agree it step up.
I wanted to test other things, and i got some insights out of it, was interesting, but i think it's time to go back now to more used technique for better result ^^
I'll finish the last of february, then rework one i particulary didn't liked of the other 6, and then we ll say it's done for that and work on comms. Just before i'll do one more for Gobi, then got 2 comms . Once those two dones we ll do the last episode of the tau series and then i'll open comms.
Seems like the best workflow for the coming weeks

Diablo4:

Bought it, played it, like it, not like big love, but.. the game got a something that make me want to go back. So i'll try it not to slow me too much, but i think that in the first days i might play it a bit still X)
But yeah, ll try to make sure work stay my first priority

life, money and the end of things

Bloody depressing tittle, but, on the other way, got this on my mind for some time. I'm an artist, what i do is kinda "luxury" product. I don't mean by that a thing worthy of the last Luis Vitton bag, but what i do is a luxe, not a primary or secondary need. You can't eat it, it won't shelter you, warm you, or help you reproduce... at least i hope.
So, when the next big financial crisis ll happen, not if, when, I think we 're all adult enough to notice that our little system of capitalism got the bad idea to bubble and explode at different time and or for different reasons, most notable one being greed, pride and stupidity, and the whole together.
So when it ll blow up, some of you might loose work, and life, as tight as it is, become tighter. I'll be in the first cuts.. and it's normal and logical. I'm a luxury product maker, i know that i would loose plenty of support when it ll happen.
It's ok, i'm an adult man, i did plenty of poor paid work over decades, i'll jump back.
I would love to be able to do this as long as i live, but i'm honnest enough with myself, to know that it might end, brutaly, and for reasons out of my control, at one point.
i'll keep drawing, it's in my blood.
But if it happen, i would want for now to thanks you all once again. Because you permited this French lad to live the dream, to live of his art for a time.
Thanks you all for that.
I would like to say, everything end, and it's what make it precious and beautifull. To enjoy all those moments we had.
Thanks you to allow me to enjoy it for now =)

That's about it

thanks again for the patience and if you're reading this far

c ya soon!
