Swinging back around again to announce that I have now also entered into the contest for Miku's 20th Anniversary Design!
Listen... not only did I see her in a vision, so-to-speak... but this one is especially inspired by all the older Miku songs I found and would listen to back when I first got into vocaloid-- especially her demo song 01_Ballade by Hirasawa Eiji, as well as Mikuru396's Start Sequence and Melody v_200.exe, and Tripshots' Anger and Nebula... the ones who I feel took her very concept first thing and RAN with it!
(And, If anyone would like to give said songs a listen, I've made a playlist of them, here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKp6COreimtF5-g6l7N1kGncIj1Dhz9Er )
I have entered for the first time, wish me luck!
Spectral Snow Miku - A Secret Spectacle
Yes, I am aware that my entry may not go the distance as it is.... very colorful and unconventional. But I had fun and no matter what the future holds... she will always be Snow Miku to me! I am happy just to have created her~ <3
Yes, sorry- I know it's everywhere since team theme reveal haha!
But, I can confirm that I am participating this year- and while I couldn't bring myself to pick between the teams this time around, I have since let the site randomly sort me into one... which is Team Crystals!
Here is my profile, for anyone who would like to take a gander:
https://artfight.net/~Windstar
as well as my team card:
As mentioned, I host both my own and my partner's characters on here (with permission from staff), and also attack quite an array of characters.. so I'm going to give it my all for sure!
EDIT: Before I forget, some new faces on my roster that I'm particularly excited to have put up are the following-
Mirage (ATLYSS) | Bren (ATLYSS, Zorek) | Lamb (CotL, Zorek) | Goat (CotL) | Windstar (Monster Hunter) | Moyue (DnD/TTRPG) | Metaboles (DnD/TTRPG, Zorek)
Be sure to take a glance if any strike your interest, haha~
I hope that everyone participating has an absolutely fun fight this year~

Most of my energy has been absolutely all over the place flitting to this project and that, but in a very positive light where I'm taking things as they come.
I'm also going through some major life changes, most of which I'm genuinely very excited for despite how harsh late winter got. For one, Zorek and I graduated from apartment living and are moving into a place of our own together! We are far enough along that we now already own the place, and also have enough time to make a more gradual move, rather than a rushed one, thank goodness~
I'm also getting back into the idea of reading more physical books again, have more things to start reading... I've even picked up and begun practicing tarot to see if I latch onto it, and so far so good! I've been making single card pulls and adapting the themes and insight to my day-to-day life a bit better than I initially thought I would, especially in tandem with dream interpretation (which is somewhat innate) that I already practice passively!
..But enough on that, I think I would like to touch on one thing from my last journal actually! The thing about submitting art and THEN editing descs when they come to me later?
It's not working, at all. lol. I'm FARRRR too used to picking a time to sit down and actually do it than I am submitting a piece and returning to something- and that dawned on me lately posting to one of my personas.
So it's back to the usual for me. Post frequency is not a necessity nor is it a goal ultimately, and even then I think the root of that might just be not having done it consistently in forever! Sometimes the reason is stupid-simple, instead of something that can be worked around/changed. I just need more self discipline if I'm gonna bring my works to the table, is all!
Other than that, the changing of seasons is having a positive influence on my energy and will to do a lot of things- and I look forward to riding that potential to it's fullest!
I hope that it has brought encouragement to others as well, and if not? Please hang in there and know someone is rooting for you!
