HI I AM ALIVE (Mostly)
a year ago
I MISS YOU GUYS SO MUCH I am so sorry I've been MIA since like last year lol. I still exist :' ) I'm not completely gone.
Lot's has happened the last several months. I'm still drawing just a lot slower than usual. I've just been very burnt out lately due to mental stuff & just other IRL factors like my partner getting very sick & being unemployed. It's been very shaky ground.
I'm still doing conventions! I'm doing my best to update my portfolio cause it's good to keep things fresh.
I'm trying to see if I can get another job outside of retail cause that completely robbed me dry. But I guess if I have to, I'll go right back to it. My last retail job cut my hours abysmally the last 2-3 weeks & it's just not feasible. Even at part time, a check being like $300 or so every 2 weeks is nonsensical imo. I was told to "give it a month & everything will be ok" but there's no way. Not to mention I feel like I got unnecessary static & passive aggressiveness from my managers. I know I'm silly sometimes, but I got no sympathy over things like:
- Going to work with a 102F fever
- Wanting to go on break b/c my meds made me feel like trash
- Given opening shift without any proper introduction last minute.
Right now I'm trying to expand my horizon. I would really love a job in the art industry, but I'm also just looking outside of retail atm. I figured I qualified since I've sold things before in real life events but it took a massive toll on my mental health. I thought I was built for it, but I guess not. The customers (for the most part) were very nice & chill! It was mostly management that made me feel like a worthless piece of trash.
If anyone has any leads on jobs that deal with product or character design that's hiring, let me know! Otherwise, I'll continue to do my best to find something on my end so I can propely get back into art like how I used to.
I guess with everything happening everywhere, it kinda kills most of my motivation. I feel like I'm seeing more & more people say the same about their own art output & it's sad : (
But I hope you guys are doing ok! Stay safe ✨❤

Glad you're still alive and kickin!
i hope you can find something outside of that that gives you a happy middle ground, you deserve it considering what you've been through so far ;n;
rooting for you homie!
keep living <3 glad ur ok
As for art, do what you can when you can -- I'm certainly in no rush, and I know you have a queue. We believe in you, best of luck!! It will be worth the wait <3
But yes! So glad to hear from you! <3
Wishing you the best on the job hunt too, becoming an office lady is always something to consider. However that field also has the same issue of managers heavily affecting the work environment. ;w;
You're still an awesome person, no matter what!^^
Keep being you and keep drawing!^^
