Deviation Actions
Man, this semester has been by far the worst I've ever had; I've been completely gone from dA for a really long time, and I feel pretty bad about that. I just get this really awful tunnel vision when it comes to schoolwork and I tend to shut myself out of everything else, so, sorry about that... Trying to slowly get back into it and start to catch up on all of the deviations and replies I've missed out on, but there's still two more weeks to the semester, so I'll be kinda dead for a bit more.
Still, I'm hoping to get more active here soon, even though I haven't had the time to do much personal art at all. But I've got a short little 8-page Shantih comic I'm gonna post soon that I hope you guys will like!! It's actually something I completed way back in January for a project that unfortunately fell through and that I'm pretty sure at this point isn't gonna happen lol, so I can finally show that to you guys now. Hope you guys'll like it!
And, ah, I wanted to let you guys all know that I finally have my own, professional, spiffy lil website set up!
www.sharon-sun.com/ if anyone wants to check it out, hahahaha. Look at me, trying to be a professional and all that jazz...
On the topic of professionalism (somehow, I'm still not quite sure how, lol, but enough professors/professionals insisted on it) I got an Instagram, so, like, do that social media-ing follow thing if you kids are into that... I try to vaguely post more of the sketches/whatnot I've done that don't make it here 'till my sketchdumps, haha. Look at me trying to be hip, man. /is an old lady;;;
Anyway, hope you guys are all doing well, and I promise to try and slowly get around to commenting and replying on all the stuff I've missed, I really missed dA! Just gotta survive two more weeks... @_@;;
Hope you've all been well, what've you been up to?

Bye-bye 2019, onwards to 2020!
Man, I don't post journals here a lot anymore, huh? I've just gotten so darn busy, sorry, but I'll try my best to catch up soon-!
Anyway, 2019 was pretty productive! I didn't manage a comic page every single week due to traveling/etc, but I still accomplished... I believe 42 pages, and that's pretty darn great! I feel like I'm really settling into the process of making pages for Iris now, and I'm pretty proud of what I accomplished.
I took some time off the second half of this year and did a ton of traveling--did a huge, 19-day Western US road trip from LA up to Vancouver, then over to Banff National Park and down through Montana, Utah,
Iris the comic is launched-!
This is something I've been thinking about for a while now, but yes, I've decided to start posting my comic Iris today, on my birthday. I wanted to do it as a huge thank you to all of the people who've supported me over the years, and I hope that you all will enjoy it-!
This is still a huge experiment to me, so please bear with, there's sure to be kinks for me to iron out as I go, but for now I'm super excited to share this comic with you all-! I've been working on it for almost a year now and have a substantial-enough backlog of pages that I feel confident enough to start posting... my plan right now is to update one page a week, a rate t
Reflections on 2018, onwards to 2019
So, yeah... I definitely don't update here very often anymore, huh? Sorry 'bout that.
Well, anyway--last year, I set myself the goal of drawing a comic page a week. I didn't succeed--I only managed 22 or so pages, give or take (some not normal-format, some random sketches/off-topic, some re-done repeatedly). Yet here I am, setting myself the same goal for 2019, because 22 pages was still far better than none.
All I can say for sure is--I've started and am a few pages into Iris, my first real attempt at making it in a comic format. Comics feel like they go against all of my instincts right now, unfortunately--instead of one drawing with
Updates 03.25.2018
Just wanted to let you all know that so far my New Year's Resolution of drawing one comic page a week is still ongoing, and that I've finished my short comic "Right"! I'll continue posting pages once a week on Mondays, but it is now complete at 24 pages!! (Ironic, since this started as a 24 hour comics day project, haha.)
But yeah, I finished 12 pages in these past 3 months; slow progress I know, but better than nothing, given I'm still working full-time (and also pulling a lot of OT on some freelance boarding, haha), so I'm content with this rate for now, though I'll also try once in a while to do two pages a week, maybe.
Anyway, in the
