Hello Winter

Posted by Luis - December 6th, 2022


Hola,

ive been a bit busy as of late so i havent had a ton of time to do an update. I felt i spired by Toms recent fp post to type something up before i goto work.


Ive been kind of swamped with work to end the year. Kind of been getting ready to launch a redesign website for my current job. I jumped in and redid everything in last two and half or so months. Hopefully next month ill be pushing it into the production enviro. The last time it was worked on was 2017(?) and its kind of crazy to me that the city has these properties that are supposed to provide services to people that actually pay for them (tax payers) but they just kind of live broken and forgotten for years.


in my non professional life, that means i havent had much chance to do art to end the year. After launching that Halloween cartoon in early october i have just been busy. I actually dont even use adobe creative suite at my new job so thats been a shift and im too tired when i get home. Im hoping to reel in some discipline and balance for 2023 and make some time again. I still have a bunch of stuff in progress. Im pretty happy overall with my art production in 2022 so i wont beat myself up for being quiet to end the year. If anything ive used the last two months to let my wrist get back to top form.


you see drawing with a mouse is kind of bad for you! Ive been pretty good over the years to notice my wrist starting to hurt and take it easy (maybe goto the bar instead). I do feel good about not doing art professionally because of this. Im able to shut it down if im not feeling great.


ive been motivated by that recent Sydney meet. I talk to Chip pretty regularly now and its been cool to see that the ng meets still capture the essence of community that this site offers. Gonna see if i can do a long haul meet in 2023.


heres a foto from this past weekend. Bob (old ng staff) has like a massive holiday party and this was the first time in 3 years it came back in its regal way so got a chance to catch up with Tom, Timmy (pictured) as well as my old roomates Swain, trucker justin and Krinkels.


have a good holiday!

Very awesome to see you guys together. Thanks for the update Luis, I would really love to see more art of yours next year! I've been making my first video game which will be a point and click adventure game that serves as a spiritual sequel to A Link to the Past so hopefully I'll be uploading some stuff here too. Will never quit on NG, my brain is just near extinction :D

Good to hear from u, old time trial days even. Good luck on your game, it’s definitely a different mindset than animating cartoons

Hey Luis, good to hear from you! I didn't realize drawing with a mouse was bad for your wrist, though it makes sense to me. Maybe a stylus pen would make more sense for you.

Happy holidays!

Probably would be the same. I hold a pencil really weird. My handwriting coach hated it as a kid. I think its good to take breaks anyways so maybe its not too bad to be reminded.

Cheers!

Bet it was a nice time!!

hi luis

Happy holidays Luis! Your output of personal art paired with having a creativity-driven full time job is really impressive. Thanks for always being willing to join up with me on projects. Much <3

Hoping to get back to it early 2023

Always good to see you Luis - we need to make it a more frequent occurrence!

Also, Tom tried really hard to lean away from me but we got him trapped.

He wasnt going anywhere
