Update about dA accounts.
Ended up making a new account for fanart after all. I made it related to the "original art" account I made a while back so that it would be more apparent whose account it was. That, and I liked the name idea I came up with for it.
I'm not going to post what the two new accounts are for now, since what's the point of doing so if I don't know when I'll start updating them? I figure the original art account will likely get my attention sooner, since I've actually got some finished work I can put up for it. I'm not sure what I can put up in the new fanart account that's actually finished, aside from maybe some of the stuff I uploaded to my old account. But any of those that I move there will probably be shuffled off to Scraps anyway, since they're older. I'd like to have some stuff in the main gallery before I share the page with everyone else. I'll post again about them when I've managed that.
On a related note, I started playing around in Dreamweaver last week and made a basic site layout for myself. It's nothing fancy; no graphics or anything yet, just black text on a white background with all the pages basically saying "COMING SOON"... I hope I can do more with it. Having my own personal site would be kind of cool, especially if I'm planning to sell anything I make in the future (which I've been thinking quite a bit about, actually. Got a few ideas I want to explore for that). I'm not sure what all I'm going to do with it, though; I've got lots of ideas down already, but I need to figure out what I should develop and what I should cut out. Don't want to cut anything out yet, but it'll come down to what works and what doesn't when I have to decide anything about that. In any case, I'm likely not going to be able to do anything with it for a while, additional, smaller changes aside. I've not thought anything about hosts and costs and couldn't handle that at the moment, anyway; too much schoolwork to try to keep up with, and now I have a job on the weekends to pay attention to, too... so it's going to be really busy. By the time I'm ready to work on those things for the site, my dA pages should already have a lot more life to them, hopefully.
When that happens, though, is all dependent on my school stuff. Right now I'm feeling swamped and a little more than strained, and I need to work even harder to make sure my grades are better than they are now. I've got a few extra days to work on a couple of projects for two of my studios, but... I'm still going to be/already am in a crunch for them. My stop-motion project is one of them. I hope I can manage to finish it.
