Kumama

UPDATE: Okay so a LOT of it is just going into scraps because I cannot bear to delete the messages that are attached to some of these things. I miss you guys so much *sigh* Where did everyone go? ._.

   A belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all!

      Guys, I haven't really felt the need to go through my gallery and purge things but after a lot of thinking I have decided that it might be very beneficial for myself to do so. A lot of "Kumama" related work will be leaving as I am finding that I need to remind myself that I do not have to post everything, some things I can keep for myself and that is okay. DA is my gallery, not my sticker covered diary, not because you -can't- treat it like that but because when -I- do that I emotionally freeze up and fret over things. I am not someone who shares easily, like I will give my time and listen to people until I die; what I am -bad- at is talking about myself and so when I post things that mean a lot to me out in the public I panic.

TL;DR I am going to go through my gallery and get rid of "Kumama" things, the things that do stay (like the "Competition" comics and such) will all be put into scraps, I know people like those.
I'm hoping this will help me be less stressed about stuff, bear with me.

God bless.

Hi everyone! I just wanted to update people (old and new to my work) on some things First off, welcome, I am happy to have you here! Secondly, I know my work is all over the place- I have no consistent schedule or what it is that I upload when I do upload things so I just wanted to give everyone a heads up as to what I think is in my head at the moment.

1. Princess Tutu things (the ballerina stuff you’ve been seeing pop up)

2. Something story based! I would really love if this was in a sort of manga/comic form but your might be subjected to a written form of something I have a lot of stuff rattling in my head and I have always wanted to try it.

I would love to have a Princess Tutu thing (I have an AU in my head that is dying to be written out) a Pokemon Gen 1 story (about me and my team, it’d be pretty small) and I would very much love to work on my LOTR AU where it’s based in Japanese mythology but I’m a little nervous on that so it’d definitely be a very much back and forth thing with the comments on how to take LOTR things and translate them to mostly accurate Japanese foundations.

3. Mario, Zelda, or Final Fantasy art! I have definitely wanted to draw art for these fandoms as I love them very much and am sad that I have not given them the attention I wish I could.

4. I really do want to make more Comics! I enjoy that you all enjoy them so much but I am a little worried that my “style of humor” is a little repetitive so I need to think about that, but I also just haven’t had time to think of short jokes and haven’t had time to make long jokes. I also have old Harry Potter character sheets that I made about two years ago (and would love to show you if you guys have any interest!) and if I ever did make comics for that the format would be more straight forward and story based as opposed to my LOTR/Hobbit comics which are all over the place and jump from movie to movie. I would make the Harry Potter ones one movie/year at a time and not jump ahead.

When will all this happen? Well, I don’t know. Life is pretty crazy and when I plan things they usually fall apart or I just question what the point of my art is or why I feel I must create these things. Last year I had some back problems but it was a pretty small ordeal fixed with a couple of chiropractor visits. In April this year I had another back problem with resulted with me going to the hospital but was again “fixed” (my spine and hips were aligned, no pinched nerves etc) by the chiropractor with a few visits but took forever to fully heal and only recently have I felt 100%. Then about three days ago I missed a step on the stairs and went whump on my butt and went to the chiropractor yesterday and today, I feel all better but yeah, this just seems to be a thing with me and as always I struggle with anxiety and just trying to help build/sort things around the house so that’s why my liveliness here has been zero.

Also, I just launched my 'shop' today over on Threadless and decided I should post the link there so that I'm not accused of stealing my own artwork or something. kumama.threadless.com/ You guys are free to look, there's no pressure to buy anything, I just wanted to finally trying to put my work out there...in a monetary sort of way X3 Or something.

Anyways, I hope you're all doing okay God bless!
