It's been a while, hasn't it. I feel like I should come clean about my long absence. Turns out this year really hasn't been good at all for me and for others, but little by little I've been pulling through as best as I could. I've wrestled a lot with trying to amend friendships I've hurt, dealing with my own depression, struggling to find work and keep my finances afloat, among other things, and especially with this year's election results I feel like I need to truly start preparing for the worst...but let's keep that the only political thing I post here. I've mostly been operating in the background on Discord servers between friends, and through all of that I've kind of had a moment of clarity on which of them I can truly call friends, and not just people who share one or two singular interests with me, but people who were truly there for me during the worst of times. I've pretty much accepted the truth that I'm not the extrovert I used to be, and really only prefer to stick with a select few people, so I guess sorry in advance if my attitude towards some of you changes.

Now for something a little more positive: There's also going to be a few changes to this account and it's content. For starters, I've actually hand-picked a select few characters that I may be drawing more regularly, old and new. I'll likely group submissions based on them, as well as draw them with established reference sheets. Best I can say about that is consider them my "main cast" of sorts.

Among the positives, I have also recently learned to use Blender, meaning that for the most part, I'm retiring SFM, mostly for good. I can't promise animations, but I can promise even better looking renders, a wider variety of models, and an even wider variety of things I can do with them. There's just so many more benefits to using Blender that I can't list them all, but that will be something to look forward to, for sure.

And finally, I am working on putting together a detailed commissions list, consisting of prices and other necessary details. I really do need money at this time, so it's important I get that squared away.

Apologies in advance for the incoming flood of pictures, let's just hope I can keep this momentum going, especially with the new year on the horizon.

Stay strong, everyone.
