Hi everyone, it's that time again, where you post what you're working on: -What I made this week: -What I'm stuck on: -What I'm deciding between: -What would actually help me right now: Reply with your answers!

Hi everyone, I'm thinking that instead of a whole slew of posts, it might be easier for everybody to reply in a single thread. What you all think? This week's "Show Your Work" is an important one because it's going to define whether or not this system actually works, whether it's helpful for people, and whether this is going to be a community that works together to bring about the best outcomes for everyone else. I'm open to suggestions about what works best for people, so please feel free to be honest and tell me what's holding you back from sharing your work in this way.

Excited to see this community take off! I'm currently based out of Santa Barbara, California, but will probably be moving to the Netherlands by the end of the year. I'm an artist and a music/music video producer specializing in modern metal. I have my current band/project DJENTRIFIED where I make politically charged songs about standing strong in empathy and morality and rising up against injustice including the current American government/regime and the corporate network that has infiltrated it for their own benefit at the expense of all of ours. Next thirty days, I'm hoping to finish at least 1-2 songs for an album I've been working on for a client/friend. Definitely excited about it, because my client has a background in black metal and thrash, etc., but really loved what I've done in regards to my own (modern metal) music, so we've created a super interesting blend of genre throughout this album thus far (a sneak peak to one of the finished songs below). The album will essentially be a kind of soundtrack to the different factions in the tabletop RPG Trench Crusade. We're hoping to strike a deal with them in the process! My goal for the rest of the year though is to quit my job, focus on music/music video production full-time, and make the move to the Netherlands. The one thing slowing me down right now is my job. It's draining, and I don't feel like I have much left after a days work, so I'm not able to be as productive or complete what I want to. What would make the next 90 days feel like a win would be to finish the album (or at least minus the intro and outro tracks) and maybe find a new client to take on. With that being said, here's the song Disciple of the Burning Water! (Got permission from my client to share here, but please don't it share out elsewhere, thank you!)

Hi everyone. My name is Michaela Martell. I have a long resume of creativity so I’ll (try to) keep this brief. - I am a published author. Sometime around 2015/2016 I was published in an anthology series, followed by another. I focus mostly on horror and am working on a personal anthology series called Echoes of Oddities. - I am a concert and still life photographer. I have been photographing local bands since I was 16 but have been more serious about it in the last 7 something years. I recently took pictures of Converge and Poison the Well. This June I will be photographing Kittie for another press gig. I have taken pictures of a few larger bands including Johnny Booth, Better Lovers, and State Champs. I have been paving my own way for the most part. I love music and photography. I also love supporting bands. - I am a mom of three amazing kids, one is 8, one is 13, and one is my bonus child and she is 12. - My favorite authors are Stephen King, Clive Barker and Chuck Palahniuk. - I love to make comic art. Mostly I redraw comic covers for fun, but I also love graphite drawing and smudging. I went to school as an art major. - I am a product engineer for a CNC tool company. - I played roller derby, mostly as a jammer, for 10 years both in California and Maine. Derby name: Rogue Rage Number: 462 - I think that’s good for now. I’m happy to be here. Let me know if you have any questions, I’m looking forward to sharing my adventures with V13.
