Life update and a few other tidbits~
2 years ago
General
If you don't know what's best for you.....I'm aware my production rate isn't exactly what you'd call professional quality, nor is my artwork extremely consistent, but I do try!
ADHD, lots of distractions, IRL picking up and finally just -working- for me.. these are all things that make it that much harder to sit down and just draw-draw-draw.
If I'm being honest, I'd say art isn't as fun as it used to be and that most of the time, when I'm met with a blank canvas after opening my art program, I sit there and just "NOOoo... not again", then blank out.
My drive isn't ... DEAD, per say, but I don't have it in me to just accept any kind of request, commission or trade that comes along. I've made the "selfish" choice of choosing what I drew, when I draw, and for who.
If I'd been in the professional market, that'd surely mean I'd be -dead- on the art market, but lucky for me I've got a stable job with honestly pretty great income, I've got a social life that I can finally almost brag about, I've got things to do and I'm mentally happy and stable.
I even got myself a boyfriend! Who knew! After closing off my heart due to location, I've gone through a lot of things and finally even managed to open up to love! At the stellar age of 30!
So.. you could say that I've reached my "climax", but no self-respecting person would claim such a thing at such a young age. I mean, c'mon, it's not like I'm an anxious teenager anymore either, unlike when I started this whole art thing. ' w')/
Anyway, I ramble. I appreciate, love and adore every sweet word, every lewd comment and every bit of critique I'm presented with.
I learn from it, I absorb it and it nurtures me, even if I never get around to making this readily apparent for whomever gave it.
Your words mean a lot to me. I apologize that I can't get to replying to every single one that reaches out, but.. that's how busy my life has become.
I'll still post art, still be around for those I've established a lasting connection with and I'll hopefully breathe the same air as ya'll for many more years to come! (Unless the world just ends due to impending war or something..)
Ya'll are sweet and I'll be chiming in with a sketch or full piece now and then, so for those wondering: All is good with this silly Norwegian energy wuff!
Until then! <3

Grats on finding a bf! I think finding love a little later in the game is better, since you've gotten to understand what you're looking for in someone, and especially what you're NOT looking for LOL!
Wishing you all the best
