What kind of creative projects would you want to do, given you had more time?

ahhh so many things! I have other comic ideas and would want to get back into sewing. I used to sew in high school (mostly plushies) but don’t really have the time now.

I'd love to start some kind of either podcast or YouTube channel and do (video) essays or discuss some current topics and struggles in online art culture and the community sorrounding it... I'm actually kinda looking into it but it's gonna be a while before me and a friend who I've asked to co host will be able to look into it.

Also, this isn't exactly ~creative~ but I wish I had time to take language classes in Polish and Russian, but I can't because 1) masters degree isn't gonna take itself, 2) im exchanging to Czechia and I want to learn a little basic Czech before then

i was just thinking about this earlier today!
I'd love to learn an instrument. Between my job, disability, living, drawing, and doing a comic, I don't have time to out in all the time needed to practice playing. I have a ukulele, but I just don't have the motivation to learn or develop the callouses needed to play. Ah, if only I didn't sleep 12 hours a day!

I'd love to work on longer YouTube videos or just videos that require me to make several art pieces. I can sometimes work on them, but that's rare.

I've had a detailed plan for an animatic kicking around on my computer for nearly two years and I just haven't found the time so actually make the thing. And now, with my focus being on Blue Star Rebellion rather than its parent project (where the animatic is from), there's not much point.

I may come back to it in the far-distant future.

Ooh if I had the talent and resource I'd want to make a web series XD Maybe of my comic or one of my fanfics
I also have an idea for an RPG game potentially... and a visual novel lol

I wish I could take up music again. It was my major in college before I dropped out and was also my dream in life. I still have both of my keyboards on me and my books but I just... Really haven't had the time or motivation to do it anymore. My creative time is spent with doing commissions and comics, and my other time is spent at my job.

I think someday when my voice drops from taking testosterone I might finally feel comfortable with my singing enough to work on songs again. That's one of the other main reasons I stopped pursuing music.

I'd actually love to create quick animations of my characters and of some of my comic pages as well, I've seen a lot of people on instagram animate their comics and I'd really love to do that too, the only thing stopping me is not having enough time or proper resorces.

[mrtoontastic]

I'd actually want to adapt my novels into real graphic novels. No floppies, but actual big books. I think that'd be really cool. If anything, I'd also possibly want to create sculpted crafts. I think that would be wonderfully fun.

Indie games. They never make any money and I'd have to learn to program, but experimental interactive narratives using video game engines is something I am extremely interested in... and I'd do it if I had any time! But this kid's gotta put steak on the plate.

Also, fan fictions. I haven't been able to make the Glory of Bowsette sequel that people have been clamoring for since 2018, and there are some bigger projects that I'd love to do while playing in someone else's franchise. But I'm already too busy for my own projects, so those get put on the "maybe when you're writing full-time as your sole job" back burner.

[eloquent]

ALL OF THEM.

No but seriously. I love to write short stories/poetry, I have always wanted to try out a visual novel. I think the main thing, honestly, would just putting more love and time into my current project. It was a leap of faith to take in the first place, but I know I could do more if it wasn't my nth priority. I'd also have more time for extra content like bonus comics and patreon rewards.

Small 2d game developments. i have several halted webgame projects, including some decade old flash games... Because i'm not naturally talented at codes it had taken me countless hours to come up with solutions or workarounds to make a system work or fix a bug... Too much feeling-stuck days, too much. (I rarely get that when making comics, it's in my element.) That's why i don't do them as main projects anymore but as a side hobby.

Yeah, unless i have more time to waste that is. I still love making my little games though.
