Bonjour tout le monde !
I'm back and before 2017 ! That year was really something. Pretty hard, both physically and emotionally. Living in a half destroyed house for nearly 6 months is really hard and don't mention how many people we lost this year, actors I loved a lot ( Alan Rickman to only name one ) and family members .. that I don't really care about. Sound rude but when somebody was not in your life for more than 15 years it's a stranger to me and my compassion level go with it, it's sad for the family, I have some compassion for them but nothing more. Anyway, personally as long my cats goes well everything if fine to me. I have LOTS of difficulty to love/like people and get bored from their company easily but for cats it's the complete opposite.
The house is finish if we don't look to much details. Some paint touch-up here and there, almost no decoration at all like we completely changed and my african masks don't fit well in a nautical decor... I still have to remake a seeds starting rack before end of february like I start my tomatoes that month but it's quite far to be hard to do.
Winter is here, howling wind and dead cold night that make the house sound like a boat in distress but nothing new, I'm still feeding birds and wild cats barefoot in the snow lol Don't ask where I get the nickname of Yétisabeth... and why the son of my half-sister think I'm a werewolf ( thank to my father for that ).
About art ... Well I was not at all motivated to do anything before the end of the renovation but now I can start slow but sure. I will
probably come back to
Peafowl Friesian but my own breed will pass before it. I think
Gaia's Steeds have a great potential and I have lot of ideas for them. My main goal is to make them easily accessible to people without putting money in it. I know not everybody have money for that and simply can't. I don't want them to be money cow, only a good community with a friendly and welcoming attitude. My main problem is my lack of fluidity in English, it's still hard to me to express some ideas I have and the result is really unprofessional. I'm too perfectionist to accept 'correct' as a standard. I never talk or write in english outside internet ( and mainly dA ) so practice is inexistent. I'm thinking about making
Gaia's Steeds group both in English and French, again to make it more accessible to people. Happily for me
pastiche-noir is here to help me with my not-so-good English. Many thanks to them ( I have to check on your profile to be sure of the pronouns ;-; ). If you see most of the journal are made by them it's mainly because I write it badly, they go after me and correct the entire thing. Basically I do the draft and they make the final thing . I also loose my core and it's make everything a little more difficult and dull but it's okay, I can easily live without it.
Gaia's Steeds are still a work in progress. Only the base colours are available and I would like to make them all before opening import and making raffles. I also need to make some publicity to gather more people around it if I want a good community.
Pfffewww I had lots to say... probably more than I actually say in a entire week but I missed my little community. Friends, fellow artists and even some fans ! I have like 2 or 3 that comment or fav almost anything I do and it's greatly appreciate ! You are the perfect kind of people, I talk to you when I want but I know you will not make a surprise visit to me. It's not that I'm not very sociable buuuuuuuuuuuuuut ...
I came back after 6 months of absence to discover I almost hit the 40'000 pageviews ! A little more than a years after the 30k ! You're all crazy and that's why I love you ! Normality is overrated anyway.
Live long and prosper !
But not in a reproductive way, pretty please.
