merry christmas everyone!
i know i've been a bit inactive of late, but i thought the festive season would be a great time to explain my absence whilst wishing you all a very happy christmas and a fantastic new year! ( ˙▿˙ )
basically, i've started my first full-time job this year, and as i'm still finding my feet in some ways, i'm not finding it too easy to find down-time to work on my art as much as i'd like to...however, i do hope to keep posting throughout the year, albeit somewhat irregularly (ง ื▿ ื)ว
2021 was the year i rediscovered my passion for digital art, and it also happens to be the year that i'm graduating from my 10-year-old graphics tablet to something a little more modern, courtesy of my partner ❤ (ɔˆз(ˆ⌣ˆc) the old tablet certainly served its purpose, but i look forward to using something that will actually be compatible with windows 10 and have some new features to explore, and hopefully allow me to push my art further!
i hope everyone is doing well and is safe and healthy (´ ε ` )♡ take care, and take care of those around you too!

much love,
merry christmas and a happy new year to you all!
