Hello all! Wow, my last shared thoughts were in June 2021. Life has a funny way of reminding me its never that easy & that also time can not be kind.


-----


Gaming - Audition Online NA server : Redbana has been going through some ups & downs, while I also am playing on Audition MoveOn : PVS & participated in Audition Galaxy (Private NA server) - the new ppl I've met, the ones who have stuck around have stuck around so far, others seem to have faded away & ones who reappear out of the blue has been...surprising to say the least. The age old question, what games am I playing currently? I have been coming & going with WoW: Shadowlands, just seems hard to keep my attention but I feel soon I may have to drop the game again, I've paused playing Genshin Impact and FF14. In the world of Switch; I've been going strong playing Tetris 99, been livestreaming - Pokemon Shining Pearl, on occasion, Pokemon Snap & Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Been keeping myself mentally preoccupied with a group of mobile games too so least to say my mind has been kept active thankfully.


-----


Art - New goal / hopefully reachable resolutions; try to complete my art commissions. I've been sitting on two, working on one & picked up another one. This has been throwing into an ever pending updated commission pricing w/ the amount of commission tips that allowed me to adjust my pricing accordingly. Reason I had sat on the remaining 2 commissions is only because it allowed me to justify keeping the commission price where it is now, once its completely cleared, I feel then picking up any commissions after that will allow me to charge them at the new commission price sheet, can I or will I make it? Well it gives me the excuse of commission me now before it gets a lil more pricier for sure! Who knows, that is one reachable new year's resolution, other than that diving into understanding Clip Studio Art, I've feel I've produced my best yet & last but not least, animation maybe? It seems very reachable but I am at least setting my standards here.


-----


Life - After finishing up treatments; I've been willing to open up with my situation but I feel that should be approached on a one on one basis. I've been healing & slowly trying to get back to a normal routine, cleaning up my room & sorting, oof that took a total mess due to me being out. Granted there's some unfortunate things happening as well personally with the gains there are losses & unfortunately with that starting the new year I can't help but wonder what else will happen as 2022 starts up.


-----


Social Media - Has been well uhm somewhat maintained for the most part. I try to keep them updated when I can. What really surprised me is my artist page on FB spiked: http://www.facebook.com/lilcherbear which I'm not complaining but still I dunno what that means. Anyways! By all means; check the other links to see what's been updated, usually things are posted weekly on Wednesdays or when its been convenient for me for sure.

Hello all! Its been a while, a long while, since April 2018 since I had my thoughts shared. So much has happened & where to begin...I just don't know, So I will briefly sum it up. -----

Gaming - So...I guess the interesting part is since playing Audition Online NA server : Redbana, I've been still fascinated by the people who come & go. More importantly connecting with new people. Granted, I miss my friends from the past, it gave an opportunity to meet new people. Speaking of losing and gaining, I guess its interesting to see a friendship broken get rebuilt again. It gives me optimism that anything is possible. Granted, these are all people online but I've always felt regardless of online and local real life, these are bonds made. So what games am I playing currently? I took a break from WoW : Shadowlands, playing Genshin Impact and FF14. On top of getting a Switch to play ACNH, Pokemon Sword, and Pokemon Snap. Been keeping myself mentally preoccupied...why well...there's more to my story. -----

Art - I have had been doing commissions, fulfilling them when I can but I continue to always create something. I've been wanting to start new collaboration projects with my friend from France. Hopefully I'll be able to share the ones we've done so far ontop of my commissions I've done. -----

Life - Overall: So I've gotten into a car crash, got a new car, been dealing with personal health and it's been quite the rollercoaster ride for me so far. Sadly, it's not over, but with just the love and support from friends and family I've been in a good space for now.

Hello all!

This is a fair warning, this'll be a fairly long wall of text mainly because I will be covering what's been going down since September 2017, so....October 2018 'til the end of this April. I'll try to make this interesting for the most part. 

-----

Gaming - I think I had been spending enough free time just wandering around dancing games. Whether it was Touch, Love Dance, Dance On or Audition it's been that constant rotation. Not that I didn't mind that for the past few months it's been fun. Especially meeting people who have recognized my artwork that I run to in-game who've told me they've always liked my artwork. Honestly - those are always the more heart warming moments that fuels me to continue to do what I do. Now, I also do bounce around other games World of Tanks, I haven't been on in a hot minute, World of Warships, not really either BUT, after a 2 year hiatus - I've managed to make my way back to World of Warcraft once again. Now, I'm kinda laughing to myself because I'm 2 expansions behind and was trying so very hard not to get back into it but I caved in. It kinda piled into a lot of reconnecting to a lot of people from there that I hadn't spoken to in that time span. Honestly, I'm rather glad I managed to because I do realize how much I've missed their friendship and remind myself how awful of a friend I had been - I'd like to hope I can blame life but...let's be honest...probably isn't the case. On another offhand note...I have Pokemon Ultra Moon...I swear I'll eventually play through it. The other mobile games? I play when I can of course.

-----

Art - So, I've been entirely busy with commissions. I've managed to get back down to 2 active commissions from 10 slots but I am fueled by my 2018 new year's resolution to meet my obligations whether its commissions, requests or such to be done one way or another. Regardless - it's been a good driving force. I've also been able to keep within a structured schedule - its now starting to show some promise these several months in but I won't hold too much into it; it's good to feel busy.

-----

Life - So this'll be hard to properly format this without me going into tangents. 

October: Perhaps the most memorable part was definitely Halloween. Granted I had been tasked to giving out candy it's been great to see all these trick or treaters. Did I do my lil candy game? Of course, not as many winners though it also feels like that there wasn't as many trick or treaters either.

November - January: So the holiday season I will wrap it up; it was pretty good granted kinda kept to myself. I tried to attend family functions but the timing really didn't work out well. Regardless; I was definitely thankful to make into the new year. I did come to a new, new year's resolutions: try to meet my art obligations.

February: This was kind of a lull month. I had a good Valentine's day but I had start planning for next month since I knew it was going to be busy.

March-April: So fast forward - end of the month, I ended up going to WonderCon for a few days under odd circumstances. It wasn't too bad - I got to meet up w/ my cousins in LA. BABS Con was pretty good granted it was a couple of days - saw a bit of the convention & got to roam around the Bay Area once again.

Overall: I've been internally stressed but its due to a lot of irl issues starting to bombard me & I realize I gotta hope to hit some major strides if I'm gonna meet some end goals the end of this year - what would that be? Moving out to a new place; I will spare the details but its just been something that's been entertained for quite awhile & with how things are going - I'm hoping to meet it. Thankfully there hasn't been no electronic issues on my end...not yet at least but please, let me not jinx it. TV has been a good time sink. I was internally considering Netflix but opted for WoW. 

-----

Social Media - Has been maintained for the most part. I try to keep them updated when I can.
 
Youtube channel [ www.youtube.com/channel/UCSkM6… ] - other than my weekly tuesday Art Rewind ; past art livestream post. I'm revisiting other livestreams that were post, they might be reposted again due to issues I'm running into.

FB page: [ www.facebook.com/cherbearsketchbook ] - everything has usually been posted every Tuesday or Friday when I can, hopefully more than just videos since the queue on my dA has posted finished artwork instead of WIPs.

DA: With MiloBear's help - I've extended my premium to another year. I totally appreciate that since I'm more active on here vs other art gallery websites. I'll continue to post old WIP livestream SS but hopefully more finished works that I had done.

By all means; check the other links to see what's been updated, usually things are posted daily, if not, Tuesdays and Friday for sure.

Some youtube livestream madness


Hello all!

September rolled around & the month is going by pretty fast - next thing I know; it's more than half way through the month! Regardless of how hectic it is, attempting to make some time to talk about what's been going on.

-----

Game wise - not much; I've been playing more Audition Online than Touch still on occasion some Love Dance and Dance On, but past that, I've been drawing too but keeping busy in general.

-----

Laptop has been fine, been keeping the other one away just in case if the one I'm currently using decides to go nuts. It hasn't thankfully but I don't wanna start jinxing that. 

I have been still eyeing prospects of a drawing tablet & a regular tablet but its not within the immediate domain of what I need.

-----

Past that I've been traveling to various places for one thing or another, whether its family obligations or whimsical moments. Regardless - been looking to find something more stable & lucrative while functioning around a set schedule for myself; this keeps me ever so busy.

-----

As for my youtube channel [ www.youtube.com/channel/UCSkM6… ] - been commencing on posting once a week, been fairly consistent but I'm not gonna jinx it yet. I want to see how things will be after going through it for at least 3 months before I can confidently say I've been keeping at it. There's been more subscribers which has been motivating me bit by bit also, I hit over 100 likes on my FB page: [ www.facebook.com/cherbearsketchbook ]. 

Here's a run down of past videos posted since the last journal:












With a set schedule; I've been dedicating the time to get what should be done in order to further promote my artwork. Whether its to queue more stuff due to what I did on livestream, what artwork I did manage to finish during livestream & showing off past livestreams of what I am doing. I intended to continue & so far I've disciplined myself to keep at it - so I hope this will lead to other possibilities of what I do want to do. Not to mention revisiting other styles I had not concentrated on & ultimately as an artist show the full extent of what I am capable of.

-----

My fall shows are coming back - I do wanna eventually check out all the fuss of all the other shows everyone had been fussing about [ GoT, TWD, hell even anime! ] but one step at a time. I'd hate to binge & internally regret it later.

For now thanks for reading this lil bear rant, be sure to check out my twitter [ twitter.com/LilCherBear ] for any up-to-date agendas, such as livestream announcements, random thoughts & such or my instagram [ instagram.com/lilcherbear/ ] for some views of my SoCal life, food & art.

Hello all, a couple of days into August & goodness its humid in my area!

I wrapped up my thoughts of San Diego Comic Con & I think Anime Expo? Either way I'll cover up any final thoughts from both that I've noticed this year.

-----

Game wise - not much; I've been playing more Audition Online than Touch but occasionally Love Dance, Pokemon Go & Sailor Moon Drops , but past that - this humid weather can make anyone seriously lazy.

-----

My room fan died; so in response, I got myself a desk fan & a new room fan, least to say the room now is a lil more breezy but after Comic-Con, need to reorganize my room a bit. Started off on a good foot; delivered 4 non-functioning box fans, 2 vaccuums & a bag of batteries that were leaking alkaline to a proper waste facility. 

So my shirts, the 1st two I went through one place are still in tact, BUT my jacket got damage due to heat weather so I may look into getting one again but not right away....have you seen the weather? One shirt I got done day of got damaged from heat & usage unfortunately; a place to go to if you want something done day of but long term wise I just need to find a better place to print my own designs.. 

I'm still in a bit of a convention time slot schedule, sleeping in a lil earlier [ can probably blame the ongoing Pokemon Go event in hunt of legendary pokemon heh... ] but eating rather normally & reasonable portions ... how weird is that. My general thoughts of both main conventions is simply this: those who went for the first time are obviously overwhelmed & lost, not that we're blaming strictly attendees, seemed like staff & volunteer alike were a bit disjointed on directing lost attendees to where they need to go [ more so w/ AX vs SDCC ] & past that both were enjoyable as long as you were not committing to the idea of seeing that certain panel but keeping that flexibility.

-----

I had taken a 1 week hiatus after SDCC to decompress & recover, in the process - during a get together; had one of those lil moments of being thanked as an artist yet again [ not the first time ] for inspiring them & it was just reaffirming my passion & conviction for creating to continue to inspire others to continue to be creative in any way shape or form.

Within my hiatus, I had come to a conclusion of attempting to start my schedule habit for the week; not only to attempt to be more consistent but get into a regular routine of sorts.

So what is this schedule you say? 

Sunday - Free day
Monday - Free day
Tuesday - Social Media posts & maintenance [ includes a weekly Youtube video posted of past livestreams ]
Wednesday - Livestream [ afternoon 4pm-12am ]
Thursday - Video Editing 
Friday - Social Media posts & upkeep 
Saturday - Livestream [ mornings 3am - 6am & afternoon 12pm - 3pm ]

This is my ideal goal mainly because I feel its attempting to keep something steady instead of being all over the place. This will only change if something comes up that is beyond my control.

-----

No new videos since but I will be working on uploading more since I realize I am running out of videos!

-----

Past that; will see where the rest of August will entail for me - gonna continue to attempt to be back on track so to speak. Hopefully ya'll find all these mash of thoughts interesting for this month. Thanks for reading!
