I'm working too much at my "part time" job to make anything, so I'm calling it quits until the holidays are over. CC week is prematurely cut short, sorry Caz. And anything else I was planning is on hold.

The downside of this working 10 hour days every day until new years is, obviously, not having time to do anything. The upside is all of the bank.  If I do spend any money, it will be on upgrading photoshop. The rest goes towards student loans, so I'm not as beholden to commissions or this job for the rest of the year.

Basically, I want the opportunity to work on a comic I've had in mind since I graduated, the basic philosophy of which is "I want to make a frankensteins of all of the things I think are cool." And my new years resolution is to have between 50 and 100 pages finished by this time next year. For my comic creating buddies, that probably doesn't seem like much, but it's a lot for me. And I want to do it in my style, and if you've watched a stream of mine, you know that one pin up can take around 6 hours just to render, and that's without details like backgrounds. 

The best thing about this job is that it ha motivated me. Because in the past two years I've had a really easy Christmas where I got everything I wanted, and a really hard Christmas where I was working to the point of exhaustion. I haven't really enjoyed either. I've realized that happiness, for me, doesn't lie in getting everything I want, or working hard and making a lot of money so I can get other people things. It lies in telling the stories I want to tell, in letting the stuff I've been holding back out. (At least, that's how I feel right now. Just wait till I finish it and people tell me it's garbage.)
