Update: Happy New 2024
2 years ago
Hello! First of all hope you had good Holidays, and may 2024 be better and kinder.
I wanted to give an update and since we just got into the new year I thought this was a good time to do so.
I have been working on getting up to date with Patreon art. Back in October I suffered of heavy burn out, I couldn't even properly rest because I felt like it was not working and had all this work starting to pile up, so it was a bit of a miserable experience. On November I started to advance although quite slowly, and December I finally was able to focus and work with prolonged periods of time. Since I fell behind on Patreon I worked hard on getting that done. By now I achieved such, so the plan is to focus on commissions and clear my queue. A BIG thanks to my commissioners for their patience and support.
I am still recovering, though Art wise it seems I am close to back to usual. It has been a difficult time on that regard. Between dollar going down in price (Which meant income going down while basic products and such getting more expensive), noticing a slow down/difficulty of growth in views/interaction and all the AI talk it has affected me negatively. I am still moving forward, just at days it can be very tiring.
On the good side of things, have had a few people approach me with very kind words and messages, I very much appreciate such and I should be focusing more on this rather than the issues above. I very much appreciate all the likes, shares and comments I receive on my work too so thank you on that regard as well.
Also I want to try more subjects on my side, so will look into squeezing a few messy sketches of said subjects for fun. Self-indulgent doodles as well, since I barely do them and perhaps I should do that a bit more often. No promises though, I am still not great at either self-indulgence or quick messy sketches, bad habit :p
No New Year resolutions this time. Instead will keep trying at the ones from last year.
Small Reminder I have a Patreon where I share my work on full res, plus alternative versions whenever possible, as well WIPS. You can check out >HERE<
