- currently, i'm prepping for artfight this year! i'm going to have lots of free time this July so im super pumped to draw all my mutual's ocs and sonas!!! i'm adding a new oc soon and revamping some art for my current fellas ^_^
- my game dev pals and i are launching a small (free) game on steam sometime during this month!!! i did concept, narrative, and sound/music. its super cute and nostalgic if you like kidpix and funny explosions. ill def post a link to it and talk more about it once its live
hope you all are staying cool in this summer (northern hem) and warm if needed (southern hem)
bye for now!! <3
Hi! I haven't written one of these in a while ^_^;; wanted to give a little update on life and work and stuff!
I had to resign from my prior work position recently in January, and after taking a few months to recuperate, I'm applying to a masters program! (I just finished applying today!!) In the meantime, I'm studying for the GRE and working full time on commissions to keep paying bills and rent. I also just applied to a t-shirt contest that I'm crossing my fingers for! Not specifically to win, but just to see people wear my art and the fact that I submitted something really cool!!!! Other than that, I restarted adhd meds after not having them since 2017, as well as some vitamin d pills ^^ both have been helping me a ton! I just need to get back into the routine of working out/going on long walks and I will be the epitome of health >:)
Thank you for reading! Hope to see you again soon :)
hello!!!!! hope yall have been well.....i have good news and bad news
the good news is that i just got offered an awesome teaching job!! which means i can finally have my own place to live and live comfortably. and can finally leave my desk job :) game dev stuff, if some of you know, is a passion and hobby that i do with friends on the weekends. the teaching job is in the city they live in so i don't have to drive an hour each weekend! yippee!!!!
the bad news is that i wont have as much time to doodle and take commissions.....i'll probably be able to do a teensy bit on weekends during the school year (and a whole lot during summer break!!!!) but as of right now (with artfight) i'm going to be on a small hiatus until i can start packing and move to where i plan to be! and doing a BUNCH of paperwork.....
art and game dev are my passions...and i wont be gone for long :,) i hope to make some art soon to post here when the time is right!!! i love yall <3
Hello!!! I want to preface this and say that my very first Artfight was last year and got a bit overwhelmed in the middle of it when my art suddenly got a lot of attention ^^;
With that being said, if you would like to bookmark any of my ocs, here is my profile! link
I can't promise I'll be able to keep up...but I will do my best to do attacks and revenges. There's still a handful of pieces I got last year that I didn't get to revenge for so that may also be on my plate if I have the spare energy to do 'em.
Thank you for sticking around! stay hydrated and healthy <3
I hope you've been well. If you haven't been well, I wish you good health, comfort, and a happier day tomorrow.
I've run into a sort of problem recently. I think I've hit a rut recently in making art; I can't seem to think of anything to draw specifically off the top of my head....that being said! I'm here to ask a favor of anyone who is reading this:
If you have any requests you'd like for me to draw (of characters that already exist, i.e. snoopy doing something or a chao, a storybook character, etc.) please comment on this journal! I miss drawing so much as a pastime at my day job TT_TT it makes the day go by so much faster.
That's all I have for now! Please remember to eat something healthy and drink water today!!! Hope to talk to you again soon :)
(edit: thank you for the ideas!!!! I'm going to slowly get thru them :D)
