Back From the Dead
2 years ago
It's been a while... almost a year exactly, a year in which life has taken a deep dive for me. I went from the happiest and most stable I've been to almost calling it quits altogether. Things simply didn't worked my way and I found myself in a seemingly endless loop of having to overwork myself to make the month, only to barely make it, to then having to overwork myself to make the next month. I tried to look for alternative ways of income which inevitably led me to be even more tired, more stressed and ultimately to fall sick, which all led me to owe more.
It honestly felt pretty hopeless and bleak for a good part of what has been this year, but it seems things are taking a change for the best. I'm still pretty dissatisfied with my work and what I can make as an artist, but after all this struggle I figured that the best way to deal with all that is to simply keep on working on my craft. It's been tough on the fact that a lot of what I've been able to do is owed commission's work, which during this time got delayed and trapped in development limbo, but as of today I'm finally on the last stretch of these owed pieces, and I'm soon to be able to pay back all I owe as in term of commissions, which is a huge weight off my shoulders.
Thus I'm finally coming back, formally opening coms soon again, going back to sell YCH's which seem to be a more reliable way of making what I need to survive the month, and of course looking for ways to grow and improve as an artist. I have a lot of un-posted work, I have some personal pieces that never saw light, and I'm working on integrating Patreon as a way for me to ensure a more stable source of income without making it predatory or pay-walling all my content.
To those that took the time to read this and those who stuck though almost a year of radio silence, as well as to those who still supported me even during my delays and troubles, Thank you. For real, you're all the reason I'm still alive. I'll work to make this next year a polar opposite of what it was, and I don't ever want to stop creating and drawing for those that like what I do ♥

Thanks :D It certainly is something I want to be able to develop more and offer more than just a "tip jar" I want to be able to pay back the support with more content and art and possibly custom stuff or rewards ^^
