Merry Christmas to you all!
2 years ago
Like the title says, I wanna wish to all of you a very Merry Christmas, or at the very least Happy Holidays, no matter how you celebrate it. I might as well also give you a brief journal about how things are going in my life in general.
I know I haven't been the most active user/artist around here recently, but I still check this place out quite often. Haven't been drawing an awfully lot since I've mostly been focused on my IRL work and other non-art related stuff that I like to do.
The art that I've been drawing is mostly to my alt account (over here: https://www.furaffinity.net/user/pillulisko/ ), and they've been my own personal projects instead of commissions. I guess at the moment, that's how I would like to keep things rolling. I don't need the money from commissions since about a year and a half ago I found myself a job that I actually care about and find fairly meaningful to myself. None of that customer service BS that I did before all this and which used to drain me emotionally. I actually feel very happy about my situation now.
Though, I do owe an art piece or two to people, so I gotta focus on finishing those eventually. The way how I like to draw my art is pretty "freeform" in lots of ways. What I intend to draw at first, might turn out to be something entirely different when I finish, so I guess that's partly why I don't feel like taking commissions right now. I just want to my mind wander off and draw whatever it is that I feel.
What else should I write about... Video games are awesome, as usual. Haven't played that many new games (HiFi Rush and Mario Wonder, I guess that's it) but I've been catching up with some older (but bigger) games, like Bloodborne and Ghost of Tsushima. Been having a helluva good time with these titles.
I also started to learn Japanese with Duolingo, so that's been fun. May end up traveling there someday, so I wanna be able to understand the language at least a little bit.
Visiting my mom at the moment. She moved closer to me at the spring, so it'll only take a bus ride to visit her now, instead of taking a train. Been eating good while staying here!
I guess that's pretty much all that there is to tell about my current situation. Thanks for sticking with me during all these years. Enjoy the Holidays!

It's nice that you got out of customer service and found a more fulfilling job. Learning Japanese is gonna be a worthy endeavor for you as well!
(I got a minor in Japanese but have yet to go to Japan myself.)
