It's been a rough December, but a new year has arrived!

So far, I've got the first of many Deviantart pieces uploaded- https://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/griffonmender/felix-sticker

As for the acquiring of Prismacolor alternatives, that too is going smoothly.

I've managed to get the full set of Derwent Procolour Pencils, and an Amazon gift card received from my aunt allowed me to nab the 12 count Derwent Metallics. (Granted, there's still 8 more metallic colors to get, but even the incomplete set is quadruple the number of metallic pencils in the Prismacolor line- and these are available individually.)

Depending on how much I get paid on Friday, I could get the full 72 Count Derwent Inktense and 150 count Holbein sets in one go.

I also got some neat color chart printables to get a better idea of what my palette looks like, and discovered I had two blue and one gray Prismacolor I just... didn't know I had?

So far, I've determined that the Procolours aren't quite as smooth as Prismacolor, but there are less "uncooperative" pencils that refuse to be completely smooth, and the uncooperative Derwents have less unwanted texture overall in comparison. So far, so good.

I also set up a Spring store- currently the only design is Sticker Felix (see above), but I hope to add more designs in due time. (My Redbubble store has nothing new currently, by I plan on adding most of the designs on there to Spring as well.)

I haven't drawn much, but I've made considerable progress organizing my notes and concepts for my comic Dreamtamers. It should be much easier to keep track of everything now.

Overall, things are going according to plan.

I'll post more updates as needed, but for now, that's all for today.

Have a good day. ^ ^
