■ SITE UPDATES: Ackpth cobwebs in my mouth!

[lukadian]

Site update lets goooo!

Been kinda lazily poking around and finally decided to upload what small changes I've added to the site, I've got some bigger plans brewing while poking around so as far as actual updates go, they're relatively small! The usual round up of links and the like, but there is some new content!
■LINKS ROUND UP:
Added several new pages to the bookmarks! A fanpage I've been aware of for the longest time and finally remembered to throw in, Counterbalance! A tribute to Jessie and James of Team Rocket! I've linked back to the creator's domain and another small project of hers that felt really heartfelt and sweet, the Nostalgia Project! I've also joined a webclique, Dearest, hoping to snag the Yuri OTP of my dreams, Chikane and Himeko from Kannazooks! <3 I've also finally linked back to affiliate/good friend Knife's site! That's it for links, I told you guys it would be small. ^^;
■ILLUSTRATIONS ROUND UP:
There are now some (old) pieces in the Gestalt gallery under the original works section of my finished works gallery! Notes several of these are NSFW!
■FUTURE PROJECTS:
There are several sections to the site I still want to add, I'm feeling a slight creep of motivation stirring to tinker and build again!

I'd like to create a directory of Zines I've participated in and created myself soon, this may go on the back burner as its lower priority and at least one of those zines is ongoing/yet to be released. Debating titling this section "doujinshi" in kanji on my main navigation haha!

I'm also debating overhauling the sketchlog section, its still a bit cumbersome to keep updated and there's a lot of older sketches I'd like to throw on my domain, partly because I like them and partly because a large portion of my work is entirely unseen and has only been shared privately and there's a good amount I've stockpiled that I'm proud of and wouldn't mind hosting on my site for others to explore! The biggest question is how I want to present and organize it all of course.

I'm thinking of keeping the visual dumps as-are for the time being, my digital sketches often come out more polished anyways and include color! A large portion of whats up there is also Rocket related and might be sequestered to its own sub-site once I can get the stamina to build a new project, just keep all my rocketry/pokemoning sequestered into one big section of its own because it is SIZABLE.

As far as display and organization goes, so far I'm loosely considering organizing text-link galleries organized by subject (original project, fandom, etc.). It'll save time in creating little thumbnails for every thing and also be very literally old school in the process!

Lastly, I think its about timeI contextualized and presented my creative lore on my site, I don't have a proper section dedicated to characters, works or creative projects like writing or fanfic! This will def be one of the more time intensive and larger sections of the site but I've been liking the idea of it more and more. I used to post lore ALL THE TIME in my deviant art journals and lj. I think around the point I began to get more protective and scared to share my creative works was around the same time the internet stopped being fun, and since this site is also largely about having fun on the internet again and unapologetically sharing my work with those who would have it, why not! Lets do lore pages! Woohoo!

And that about wraps it up!
