Link Videos With Ebb and Flow

 

Hello, people of the world. Krissy here with another post. 

    If you haven't, please check out Ebb and Flow Gamerz, link right here. I am the editor of this channel and enjoy doing their videos. It's fun and funny, and if you love Zelda like I do you'll love the latest videos we've been doing. We are doing a series of Skyward Sword, who here has played it? Is it your favorite? I have done some fan pictures from the game, and here they are.

    Do you have a favorite character from this game? I want to do more but I've been so slacking on the fan arts. I tend to do this, where I will be so on top of it, and then I crash and don't do any of it at all for some time. I do have depression and anxiety and could be part of it, but I also think it's my disorder. I have Central Auditory Processing Disorder, (a form of ADHD) and I get hyper-focus on something for a while and then just lose it. Takes me a while to get back into it.

    

    I have been watching and rewatching Hazbin Hotel, and I want to draw the characters in my style so so bad, but again...that fire isn't there I rather play video games or be with my kids. Or just something, I just have a hard time sitting down and doing it. 

    

    I'm still working on my next book Five Star Princesses, but it's also lacking, I don't know what happened, for a whole month I was doing 10 pages a week, but now...I can barely do one, it's really frustrating, I don't know why I lost it, but hopefully, after Spring Break it'll be back on track.

    Spring break is coming up and I am excited about it, my boyfriend is coming to town because he lives far away, and my kids and I (plus two of my siblings) are all going down to Bryce Canyon. It's one of my favorite canyons here in Utah, there's a lot of easy hikes, and the view is gorgeous.  My kids aren't the greatest at hiking so that will be a challenge but cannot wait to go and enjoy the red rocks. 

This is supposed to take place in Arches, one of the first paintings I've done you can obviously tell.

Events I did Last Year of 2023

 Hello, people of the world!

Last year, I did a few shows. Events. The first one was July Fourth in Tooele Utah, and it was a huge success!

I remember being so nervous about it and trying to be prepared, and I did learn a lot from it so the next time I'll be better at it. 

I found a free event in August last year and decided to jump right into it. It wasn't as good, made about $50 I think, but nothing like the first event which was $200.

Goldfish Swim School Free Event Last Year August 

Even though the last event wasn't that great, I decided to try again in August and did pay for it. There was a parking lot by an old movie theater in American Fork Utah that was having events every Saturday. So I decided to try it, good thing I just did it one Saturday because I only made like $5 bucks...and the payment I had to pay was $40, so that was not worth it. 

I honestly think they stopped doing that...at least I hope cause there was no one. No foot traffic and such. When there was someone I really tried to reel them in, mostly kids wanted to spin the wheel but didn't want to pay for it... the wheel is actually my main thing that attracts and makes money out of.

Here's the booth for that lame event.

The next event I did was in October. Eagle Mountain was giving away free spots but also asked not to sell anything. Which was disappointing but decided to do it to promote my shop. I gave away candy, vegetables, stickers, magnets, and king-size candy bars, and my wheel is what did it. When you spin it and wherever it lands it's what you take. 

AAnnndd....it was a HUGE success. Oh my goodness, there was a line, and I mean a LINE! Everyone wanted to spin to get what they wanted and it was exciting, I gave away all of my business cards, and all of my items...until it was no more than I had to take away my wheel and disappoint a lot of people because I had to put it away for I none to give. I thought I had plenty of stuff, but apparently not.

The last event I did last year was the Christmas Village in Eagle Mountain Utah. And it did end well, did make over $100. My toes froze, I mean literally, there was fresh snow when I arrived, and I did shovel my spot but I don't think I did a good job, nor did my four pairs of socks, help. I was there from 9 until 5, and remember how my toes just froze to death, but happy to have another success before the year ended.

Christmas Village December 2023

Now it's a new year and did a book sale in February with a friend, that was also a nice success, but I want to continue to do more through this year.

I am definitely going to Tooele Utah again for the 4th of July, but I also want to do one in Eagle Mountain in June. It's not official but I will try to sign up for that. For those who follow me, if you know of any kind of event that has successful foot traffic in Utah, please let me know. I can only do it in Utah. I enjoy selling my stuff and making my small business. Check out my website for more items.

I started making comics since 2005

 Hello, people of the world. 

So much has happened in my life, and it's mainly from drawing. I clean, cook, take care of my kids, and draw on my tablet all my other free time. 

    Usually, I can do one page to two pages a week, lately, it's been five a week. Wow. I don't know why that is, I have just been really excited about my next book series which is 5 Stars Princesses. 

    I have finished Sweet and Sour, now it's time for the next thing. Sweet and Sour book 3 is being edited, but here are a few pages from it. 

If you haven't gotten books 1 or 2, here they are. 

Sweet and Sour Volume 1

Sweet and Sour Volume 2

I finished my first series, Once it's published it will be official at least, I have worked on this first series since 2018. Wow, has time flown, it's already 2024 that's so crazy. Now I am working on 5 Star Princesses, my goal for this series is 5 books. Now I have much more confidence in doing it I can do it! 

I have created this story since I was 12, it was one of the first books I tried to draw in my sketchbooks in middle school. I was 12 when I started to draw anime, and 5 Star's Princesses was the first story I came up with. 

    Over the years I have re-written it over and over again. This story was starting to hurt my head. I gave up a few times cause honestly, the story itself was hard to work with. It started with the idea that the star queen was dying and gave her powers to her five children, then her sister came unexpectedly and when she saw she was dead she wanted her powers, but it wasn't much. The queen's maid Sabing sent her children down to earth and then the sister kills Sabing. Lymond and Paxtin, the two servants to the star queen, try to get the sister but she leaves. Lymond and Paxtin went to find the queen kids but didn't know where.

    There was more than that, but when I was looking at it later in my life I tried to restart it with the same idea in the beginning, and I restarted it again later in life. I have at least restarted this story with the same beginning about 4 times. And each time...I just couldn't keep going, for one I wasn't sure what this story was really about, I knew who where the characters were, the bad guy, the good guys, but...something was just missing, and I just gave up for a while on it. 

    I have tried writing it, adding more characters, and changing the story a bit here and there. For some reason I wanted to keep going on this one...but it was failing.

    Then one day, in 2022, I was running. I started running in 2020. I have been really into it since, (if you asked me ten years ago I would tell you I would never run, haha.) But anyway, during one of my runs, I was in my imagination world with the songs I was listening to, and one of the songs made me think of 5 stars and princesses. I had no idea why but I was, and for some reason...it hit me. I had a scene in my mind that made this story a whole lot different, and unique. 

    I can't share it now, but it has made me get back into it in 2022. I wrote it, sketched the characters, and the timeline, and I got excited. So I am pretty excited for this story and cannot wait to be published. 5 Star Princesses may or may not be a good name, but I am sticking to it. This story has been different since 12, now that I am 30 I am keeping the name the same. 

Here's the sketchbook clear back then.

Here's now.
