Mood: full of food (??)
Currently working on: nothing, but constantly thinking about these overwatch standees that i don't really wanna work on LOL.....
I felt so weird not putting "mood" and "currently working on" in the beginning of the post like I used to back when I posted here in middle/high school LOL.... so I'm back to doing that I guess. Anyway just feel like rambling about whatever!
Job update
Working in international admissions at the uni is going well! I think I'm definitely getting accustomed to doing things in the office. I mostly answer emails all day but that's fine for me, I like answering questions and explaining things LMAO... and so far there's always been new stuff to learn. It's a lot of memorizing random stuff but I'm taking a lot of notes so it's not so bad. Kinda wild that so many people email us questions tho, like it seems like some of this stuff should just be available on the uni website.......... maybe it is but it's just deliberately hard to find so that people email us. so that we have something to do i guess. (???????????? i'm exaggerating but still lskdjfs)
Really the main downside to working rn is it's hard to make friends...;; there's not a ton of people directly near where I work & most people in the office seem a bit older than me (like late 30s to mid 40s), usually with kids and stuff which is highly not relatable to me;;;;;;;;;; I'm trying my best to be moderately friendly tho, idk. I chat with this other new hire sometimes (again she's a little older than me) & we don't really have a lot in common but idk it's fine enough.
Current merch plans
I think I mentioned that I make merch for cons/etc sometimes? So I guess I'll be rambling about that here occasionally lol
Rn I'm waiting on a roadrat link charm, some sonic chamrs, and some misc restocks to arrive from the manufacturer I use... looking forward to seeing how they turn out! I'm trying out a different wood for this standee restock bc the last batch I did broke kinda easily. T_T hope this slightly more expensive wood is a little stronger... if it still breaks easily I'm gonna try to look into another manu but idk they're already kind of one of my more expensive merch items;; it's hard with overwatch merch because a lot of the fanbase is relatively young (like high school to college age) so they don't have a ton of spending money. I wanna try to keep things affordable for them. :T
I've been thinking of adding more to the standee lineup that I currently have... this is the current lineup:
...and I was thinking of adding Venture (new OW character), D.Va, and Lúcio since I know they're usually pretty popular. I've been so not in the mood to draw any characters other than my OW favs, tho................... especially learning how to draw Venture bc I've never drawn them before. So not inspiring to me rn. T_____T I'll hopefully get to it eventually though...
Other than that, I've been mildly inspired by the new lifeguard skins they added to Overwatch this summer. Some of the actual designs are kinda meh (like junkrat's......... idk they were so lazy with his), but the concept is still cute. Lifeguard mercy is like one of my fav skins lmao;;; I was thinking of doing maybe buttons or something featuring a few of the lifeguard skins, but idk exactly what yet. It'll prob be Junkrat, Roadhog, Mercy, and Lifeweaver, tho.
I've also been wanting to do something with plush buttons since I found a plush button manufacturer kinda recently. no idea what, though.... it'd be best for something cute/cozy, but I already do pillow charms with a sorta sleepytime/pajama theme so...??? it'd have to be something else.......... maybe a theme that's kinda nonsense but moe like cat ears or something LOL;; or maids. idk I've come around on maids fsr they're tacky but I can appreciate the cheese. (???)
anyway just spitballing ideas... prob not gonna draw for a couple more days since finishing up my last comic kinda wore me out. I should probably work on the last two comms I have anyway before I get started on other stuff.
Guess that's all for now! Thanks for reading if you did. Maybe I'll post more interesting stuff to this world one day but for now..... just rambles haha :P
