eye_of_toad | Hello! (Intro Post)

I'm updating my intro post for the new year.

This journal started out with the idea that it would be a mix of fannish photomanip stuff (icons, mood boards, whatever) and personal artwork but the personal artwork has pretty much taken over. I'm still willing to do the photomanip stuff if someone requests something that sounds interesting, but I'm expecting this will continue to be mostly personal art.

There will be regular art spam of art that isn't always finished or good.

I'm opting not to cut or thumbnail. (Except when I do.)

I am not consistent about anything.

In general, I'm posting things about 600-pixels tall. (Some doodles will be smaller. I might go over that self-imposed restriction if I come up with something unusually large/detailed, but I'll probably remember to cut-tag that. Maybe.)

There will inevitably be large gaps where I don't post anything followed by streaks of me posting all the things.

I start things I never finish. A lot. If I promise you a seven-part something-or-other and stop after part two, do not patiently wait in silence for the next one. I have forgotten about it. It's okay to ask me for it. You aren't nagging me. You might, in fact, be the only reason I remember that I wanted to do the thing. (Or possibly I just gave up because it was hard. That happens a lot too. I am very lazy. It's still okay to ask.)

I do try to be consistent about tagging so if you want to see more things in the same media or from the same time period, you might be able to pull up more examples through the tags.

Everything I post here is public, so you might want to avoid comments of a personal nature if you don't want to inadvertently reveal too much to the world.

I'm much more chatty over at my personal journal, oldtoadwoman, where everything is locked down pretty tight.

You can also expect a mix of current artwork and older stuff as I go through the process of cataloging old sketchbooks.
