Weekly Saturday Milestone Images Starting Sunday, July 11th
🕑 Added 2021-07-03 03:06:26 +0000 UTCI had intended to start this tomorrow, and said as much in the end of month polls, but I've realized I am going to crash and burn if I do that.
I apologize for having said that, but the ball will get rolling on Sunday the 11th with a milestone image I'm already far along with (with early access on the 10th for some patrons).
The plan then is one or two depending on how many are done. I'll post two in the event I have three or more done.
My secret weapons that I will now tell everyone about for improved productivity are as follows:
- Dry erase boards
- Tiny notebooks
- Getting enough sleep (working on this last one)
I have the short term memory and focus of a brick (goldfish have me beat), hence the writing stuff. I don't know why I do better with those than typing everything out, but I do. I'm more confident about getting things done now than basically ever before.
Still gotta fix number three on that list, though, which is part of why I need to push things back. Earliest I'm starting to fix this mess I call a sleep schedule is Sunday.
Thank you everyone for your patience and support, and I look forward to sharing images that will make me blush and deny I ever drew them a year from now.

Your post reminded me I was up way past my bedtime. Thanks. ;) In other stuff, I don't know what your notebook budget is like, nor the cost of what I am about to suggest, but my roommate has an e-ink notebook which seems like a great tool for this sort of thing. It's smaller than a standard sheet of paper, but possibly larger than a tiny notebook, and its 'pages' can be virtually expanded, zoomed in and out, panned, layered, uploaded to your computer, printed out on your wireless printer, and I don't even know what all else. I do understand that in addition to such notepads, there are also e-ink ereaders which look similar but do not allow drawing, so like any purchase, care must be taken to review the product before actually buying.

I cannot post GIF reactions here, and that saddens me. If ever there were a time for the Daniel Bryan YES YES YES reaction, this would be it.

Consider downloading a sleep app on your phone. I ran one and along with my Mi-Band (a cheap Chinese knockoff of a Fitbit) it let me find out that I'm waking up every 30-90 minutes all night long, which explains why I was sleeping all night and never catching up.

I struggle with sleep too, so I know how that can feel. Please get whatever rest you need. I'm real happy to know we'll get more bonus images soon, but I'd never want them to be at the cost of your health. You've got my support no matter what. :) ...and to be frank, I'm looking forward to seeing these "images that will make me blush and deny I ever drew them a year from now". :p

Definitely with the sleep thing. Take it from someone who's now dealing with the medical fallout of years of sleep deprivation. It's an invisible killer. Practically every health problem you can have is exacerbated by sleep deprivation, and getting sleep in order is the cure for many as well.
