I hope the new year finds everyone well. I know I haven't been active very much in posting art, and the truth is, I haven't been drawing much. Doesn't mean that I'm not keeping busy, but I'm working on other projects. Some of which do involve art, but not to the same extent. I'll scan some stuff soon... I promise.
Small work rant:
Working a minimum wage job is extremely energy draining and demoralizing when the company you work for is only giving you a raise because the law tells them they have to. That doesn't help with the sense of self worth.
Heavens, no.
You're expendable!
And they don't care if you stay or go; you will just get replaced with someone else, whether they do as a good a job as you or not, and will pay them the same amount. I don't mind my job, but I feel extremely undervalued, and feel it's definitely time to move on and look for something much more serious.
I just pray I can find something soon.
/rant
Aside from that, things are at least decent. I finally upgraded to a newer Gaming PC, got a new DLSR that I absolutely love and look forward to taking awesome photos with.
I know this is a pretty lame journal entry, but it's the best I got at the moment. Not a whole lot has change since my last one to be honest. I just hope some day soon I can update with good news that I found a good job in my field. Or at least something artsy and creative, which I thrive in.
I may not post often, but I check DA almost every day. PM me if you want to, I'll definitely see it.

Is Anybody Out There?
We're still in the pandemic and I'm actually doing better than most. I've kept busy with personal projects - and if you couldn't tell - taking an online digital painting course, as evidenced by me actually uploading some of my studies/homework. I'm hoping that I can incorporate the new skills and get a better job then I would have without. I've been doing painting in Photoshop for a long time, but nothing that was massively amazing or worth of commission requests.
There may be a few things in the near future that will be redraws/repaints. I want to see the differences.
Tired of the Same. Time for change.
I can't believe that it's been a full year since I posted a journal entry on here. I visit regularly, almost daily, but don't post often. Frankly, I doubt hardly any of my friends are still on here, let alone reading these entries, but here it is:
WEB:
alswaiter.net is back to being functional. I had some domain squatters trying to hold it hostage for a large fee that I was not willing to dish out, so it seemed as if my site had died like many other ReBoot fan sites. No, it's just because I wasn't going to dish out money to people who wanted to try and profit off my hard work and my ReBoot site traffic. They finally lost interest, and it's
Tagged. Also, I'm really not dead.

(Was tagged last year to the day, and because of pure laziness - and partial curiosity - I wanted to see if I could keep a notification for a year.)

Upcoming Drawing Dump
It's nearly the time for a drawing dump. Maybe I'll have time on Sunday to scan my sketchbook. I've been very busy offline with work and projects. This fall my work environment was thrown for a loop when my manager (who had been there for 25 years) decided he had had enough from Head Office and was retiring. My Assist. Manager discovered she had cancer, and we lost another co-worker to cancer treatments (she's still alive, just not at work). Because of all this, I've been feeling very tired because that means more work for everyone else and not finding a lot of time to draw, that being said, I still am.
I'm hoping I can get more organized so
