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!

I'm going to try not to overexert myself and make this short and sweet, as I have not... been doing so great for a lot of reasons that I would rather not trouble anyone with.
I will however admit that one of these reasons is lacking motivation and stamina to do the things I want, and I have been trying to find means of building my strength back up in a lot of facets of my life, including health, writing, and drawing.
Things like eating better, walking more, just simply trying to thrive instead of get caught in a dismal fog and waste away for the sake of wasting away. I'm stubborn as hell and don't want to be caught in that any more than I may or may not have been already. I'm not about that shit.
This includes exercising my hands and drawing more as well, as drawing is ultimately something that grounds me when I'm really not okay.. and I think I have been stagnating more just from slipping out of and neglecting that, if that makes sense. I don't know how or why it fell out as much as it has either, but that alone scares me and I will be trying harder to change that!
One of the things I have noticed, especially for posting what I've drawn, is that description work holds me back. I am extremely meticulous about it because while I strive not to be a perfectionist with it per se, I always desire to present concepts of mine with focus and accuracy if I can help it.. and even if the only standards I hold it to are my own and no one else's, it has become somewhat of a drawback. Especially with the skills related to writing having dropped outta practice the way that it has.
In otherwords, I may formulate a workaround where I post desc-less, and come around later to them, which might help motivate me more. Just in hopes of being able to get it on the table sooner rather than later and to serve as a drive to tackle descs in the moments that they come to me more naturally! Jussst.. especially if anyone is curious about the thought behind my work, please do be patient!
Oooh,, this is not short and sweet anymore actually. It's wonderful what drinking water can do for you when your body is (seemingly) falling apart and tricking you.... please drink water!! If you see this I am begging and crying for you, whoever you are, to drink water now!!!
Water Drinking, Nutrition, Walks, Drawing and Writing, I'm gonna get back on track dammit! The only thing left is knowing how to pace myself bc goodness knows I wanna get right back to it! I want to function, I wanna thrive arrghargahrghhjkgljkldkl,,,
right okay yeah, we've seen the shitshow a certain place is putting on already. So you know the drill LOL here's my bluesky:

please understand that I practically live on sheezy artwise, though, so it's more for supporting fellow artists than it is for me posting my works in any way (tags/chain thus far being the only exception, as of today)
