Neph's Jar 5.0 - come in and chat!
|
Here I am five days late and totally not on schedule. I'm ok with that because I've been busy. Regardless... HELLO 2018! Year of the dog coming up...my year. I'm hoping that means good things. If you somehow don't know me and are reading this jar in the distant future. I'm Nephila a content creator and pixel artist for Menewsha.com I also have a lot of personal pinup projects that run the gambit from SciFi/Horror/Fantasy Pinups of both my original and fanart characters. In 2016 I got 650 Feedback messages on DA. Last year I got 982, just 20 shy of my 1000 goal. I dialed it back to zero to try and hit it again this year. I'm hoping to see that number grow to 1250! RL Goals for this year

January Highlights http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/6a...3fdcee61ae.png Jan. 1st Happy New year! I spent the new year alone this year...it was lonely but I got a few things done so yay! Jan. 3rd Took my daughter and Nephew to get his SIN numbers. They can now work in Canada. Woot woot! To celebrate them taking this step into adult hood we went to see a movie (Jumanji) and had some Dim Sum for dinner. It was a great day. Jan. 6th I finished my raffle winner for chibi auction I did during the FoWN event. TaiyoTsuki. Jan. 18th I smashed my goal of surpassing last years DA mentions! Last year in the month of January I had 59. I woke up this morning to 96! And the month is just barely over half way done. . . Must build more! :D Go go go! Jan. 29th I managed to buy all of headwords today. . .Or so I thought I'm now at 958/959 and have no idea which item I'm missing. It'll take a while to figure out but I'll need to find it before I move on to the next store.

March http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/5e...41605e1df0.png 02-13-2018. Questing complete. 02-17-2018. After finishing my quest and realizing there is nothing for me here now. I started thinking and went on Hiatus from Mene. I need to sort out some things in my head, however, I've come to this conclusion. It's time to grow up and stop working on other peoples dreams/for others. I have my own ideas that have been neglected for to long. At first it was raising my daughter. Then it was my job. Then it was promises to other people(my family) and helping them pay for their home. Finally, after twenty years of brewing I've started writing out my thoughts and ideas for a web comic that I've had in my head since junior high school. Even if nothing comes of it, It'll be good to finally get it out of my head. I'm also finally comfortable enough with my level of art to give it a go. There is a lot of things that need to be done to get the business side ready. But before I can do that I want to have one issue's worth of art an a volume (13) written. I know my path and know what I have to do. Time to do it.

May https://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/4...71917b0664.png May 1st On the evening of May 1st I took my computer in for a week long maintenance. I wasn't able to come online very much during that time. During the weeks before I had completed and uploaded nearly all the art list for May, Which will come in handy for when I go to Keycon later in the month. May 10th I won 3rd place in an art contest. :D It brought some new people into my life and was a fun experience. I don't often join contests, but when I do they have to have some thing either worth it financially OR be something where I know it'll get new people into my gallery. :) May 18th-21st Another year at key con and it was a great one. I won a 55 inch smart TV in one of the hospitality suits. I only spent $20 in tickets. It was awesome. :) May Avatars https://i.imgur.com/43GFhAw.png May Art List In May 2017 I was at 127 mentions in May 2018 it was 214 . . . 638!

I'm actually better at posting in your memory jar and I am my own. I wonder if I should try again this year? Anyway I hope this year's spectacular for you and yours! |
Always try again! That's how we learn. :)
And thank you <3 |
good luck on your goals, Nephy! and congrats on your art goals, wow! also, i love all your avatars so far this month. especially the doggo one.
|
Thanks ghosty. :D
Things are coming in quicker for art than last year so I'm very hopeful of achieving my goals again this year. :D Now for that daily prompt thing. . . B is for... BACK! As in Trades are back baby! Whooo! I'm so happy that's over with and we can move on. In other news I joined a new avatar site. Mostly because they have NSFW options. O.O |
NSFW options... oooh! :0 sounds risqué!
|
Heh I suppose it could be, but I don't mind.
Most of my art is erotic with my Mene pixel work being an odd ball when compared to the rest of my gallery. Its mostly bewbs horror/sci fi fantasy fan art and then Menewsha pixels. No other pixels. Just mene. I feel like it maybe a way to put both passions into one thing. We'll see though. Knowing me I'll make an account then forever ghost. I |
In the Kitchen
Chris wanted ham this week end... I'm hammed out. XD We roasted some on Friday then had so much left over. It seems like most things they're eithe fit for a family of 2 of 4 if you have 3 either someone goes without or you have crazy left overs. So I cut up the left over ham and made a bunch of ham items over the weekend. Ham and cheese pizza for dinner, on Saturday Ham and cheese biscuits (with spinach) for Sunday brunch and I still have a bunch of ham left over for an omelette Monday morning. He didn't believe me with how much he bought. XD I'm ready for some salad and smoothies this week. XD In Mene News: I finished questing "The Head works" today. Or will be once I figure out which one thing I'm still missing. XD I don't know how or where but I'm missing one thing. So half yay! XD |
I'm Reading . . .
Forums, and web comic is where my attention is at. Mene news: I made a new avatar for the "New Threads" contest. New avatar contests for the win. |
Now that another pixelist has finally came back it's time I go on vacation.
I put in Hiatus status and won't be part of the planing/pixel work for next event. Now to put in my request for what I'm owed pixel wise. |
i'm glad you'll be able to get a break! it'll be sad to not see your pixels, but still. [hug]
|
One events rest to jump start work on my webpage and comic should be good. :) Might take longer but we'll see.
It'll be great to finally get the idea's out of my head from high school onto paper and written down somewhere. |
