So remember that poll where I asked some ppl to help me pick out some drawings for a thing i wanted to apply for?
Well by some miracle I got accepted!
I got accepted into Nickelodeon's TV show pitching class at CSU summer arts! From what I heard it was really competitive to get in (since there were only 30 people chosen) so getting chosen is pretty assuring that perhaps I dont suck that hard at art as I originally thought lmao xD
Basically we'll be taught by guest artists that work at Nick and collaborating with other artists to create a pitch for a theoretical animated tv show. Should be a fun experience!
I'll be up in Monterey Bay from July 11-24 (about 2 weeks). Its the first time I'll be studying somewhere far away from home, which is something I've been wanting/needing to do, since i feel like i need to experience things outside more haha. Since the workload will be pretty hefty, I probably wont be online that much, so if it seems like I'm being a bit too quiet for those 2 weeks you'll know why. xD
I'm also done with school! (for now) so I'm trying to get back into doing my comics and other things I've been neglecting |D I'm also thinking of maybe doing a summer contest again x)

NEW WEBSITE DROPPED
⭐SEYUMEI.COM⭐ I shoulda done this a long time ago, but I decided to take the plunge and finally make a semi-professional portfolio website for myself! During the advent of social media becoming increasingly shittier, it began to dawn on me of the importance of having your own space in case everything goes to heck in the future. I also just wanted a place where people can view my best work and get in contact with me easier. I basically took my old Carrd site and upgraded/revamped it without the element limitations, with its own domain name and everything. I tried to design it so that everything is easy to find and read (hopefully xD). Since I dont take commissions that much anymore, I took it off the main tabs. There IS still a commission info page (its located in a small link within the "contact" tab) but it'll only be relevant when I have rare, random bouts of opening commissions. :'D Its still not quite done yet (still want to add more pictures and setting up a shop) but it has
Drawing Tablet Recommendations?
Because I think I might have to replace my drawing tablet pretty soon. Its an old Wacom Cintiq 13in HD and has been my trusty sidekick for about... I wanna say almost decade or so now? It still works fine, but the wear its been accumulating over the years has been hard to ignore. I can see and feel the scratches on the surface of the tablet when I draw and it just doesn't feel good to work on anymore. Since its been starting to affect the way I work now, I think its best to just invest in a new one. Since I'm sorta out of the loop of what the cool kidz use to draw these days, I thought I'd ask for some recommendations. Ideally, I just want something that kinda feels similar to my old one since its what I've been used to for so many years, just not as dinky haha. But since I know Wacom doesn't manufacture the 13HD model anymore, I don't know where to start. xD But heres a few other things that I'm looking for too! - I'm not a huge fan of large display screens (like 24-27") for
Update and Explanation (return of commissions?)
Just because I've been a bit quiet lately and not posting as often as I used to, I thought I'd give an explanation about what's been going on with me during this whole year. Well... I can honestly say that this year has been the absolute worst year of my entire life (currently, at least). After dealing with a bunch of BS during the end of last year, my life has basically just been nonstop drama. Dealing with emotional abuse, a broken family, sabotage, betrayal from people I thought I could trust. That's about all I can get into without mentioning all the gritty details. I never wanted to get involved in any of this and couldn't understand why this was all happening to me. So it basically spiraled me into a depression. While dealing with all this, I've noticed my work and passion for drawing was slipping fast. What used to take me a few days to finish a drawing would now stretch out to 1-2 weeks. My love for making comics dwindled and it was hard for me to get myself to create
Why New Art Sites Don't Work in Current Year
Wrote this in response to seeing a lot of artists hopping around to different sites for various reasons recently and wanted to share my thoughts on it. I think we've all seen this song and dance before. Artists think the current site they're using is "dying" or losing their way, sees all their friends move over to this new up-and-coming site that they're hoping will become the "next big thing". They usually advertise it as a community "for artists, by artists" or "like this social media site, but BETTER!". You think, "Oh man, its gonna be like Deviantart in the 2000s again! I can make friends with artists so much easier and we can do fun artistic activities together like the good ol' days when we didnt have to deal with algorithms, AI crap and that bs!" And then... people slowly stop using the site. Why? So why don't these sites ever pop off? Its pretty easy to figure out why if you can understand why people are signing up there in the first place, and you're probably not gonna like
