Weekly Talk 260 X) (Patreon)

So... i just saw that i missed weekly talk 259.. but well, with it i count more the number of WEEKS since i started those so.. let's keep the rythm and jump ahead X)

Number 260. Been officialy an artist since 2021, when i created my company. But, it's 5 years ago, in last days of 2018 that i decided to be a full time artist. Exactly 5 years, the 28/12/2018. When i was scammed on a fake job announce, something that seemed sure but in the end was fishy AF. And was just the final drop after years of strugle. So.. if i got to struggle, at least let's do it doing a thing i loved. THANKS you all for making it possible.

So this one is a bit special, also, if you dunno, for the first time in 6 month i took a week off!

Started the 23 and i'll get back, not the 1st/January/2024, but the second

Why? Because i kinda plan to get wasted with friend the 31st!
So far had a nice  first half of break, with family, until i get super duper sick, 39°C, shivers, spiting hot weird goo while coghing. The whole shabang. I'm on the good side, still a bit of fever, but in general i'm healthy enough to go out do the groceries and pile back the medoc stash.
If you're an ancient, you might start to see a pattern, i ALWAYS, end sick when i take a winter holliday.

I wanna salute how pro i am to keep my worst desease when i'm not supposed to work!

That said, first i want to thanks you all, the old ones, and the new ones, for the financial, AND moral support.
Because, a lot of you also come on a regular basis, interact, leave comments, say good words, and in general are genuine great human beings!

So, thanks you all, once again. For the first time since i started, this year was one when i felt really stable on the financial part. Not like "now i can buy my own house" but at least "i can take the pasta brand that say PASTA on the package, and not just X, what a luxury!"

Wich is kinda cool!
So what else in the future.
I tried a few things recently, technique wise that.. I kinda enjoyed. I'm refering to this comics page
Basicly what i tried is just something i had seen was possible with CSP, to colour halftone.
Quickly, you just put a layer on halftone, it's a layer setting, and do it on automatic then, everything you do ll be in halftone.
And then you create another layer, clip it to the halftone one and fill with a colour and a multiply blendmode, and .. voila, it work.
If you didn't get the technical mumboJumbo, it's ok, just to know.
Give an easy neat effect and, kinda want to see how deep i can push this one , down the rabit hole

That's i think what ll be my 2024 personal goal in art, experiment and deepening already known knowledge.
Wanna keep making better piece. Juste cause i like seeing them become better.
In what are they better? That's a good question, it's always a more personal matter point of view, i would say, stuff that i enjoy to see. The better it get, the better i like it!

So, on those words i'll let you here.
Will i draw something in the next days? I might, got a few things i wann do for me, but, first, healing, no promess, even to me, if i feel like it, i would do it.
Note, i put money aside and i wann buy myself some 40k model once again =D
So you might see me post some of it, if i manage to grow strengh enough to go buy it this week X)
Going back to plastic drug

BTW  artwork is by the awesome and CRIMINALY unknowed artist TICO. Go see his stuff.

That's about it!

Thnks for reading this far. IF you still are

And c ya soon
