Happy New Year! (2025 plans)
10 months ago
Happy New Year everyone! I hope ya'll had a positive end to 2024. I know I am eager to kick 2024 good fuckin bye!
2024 in recap:
2024 was probably one of the hardest years for me yet, both financially and art wise. I'm sure it was noticed how little new art I actually got completed and posted since 2023, and that's due to all the stress this year has put me under. First I moved from one rental home into another at the end of February, so the start of the year was busy with finding a home, cleaning the old rental, working to financially afford the deposits for the new rental, and then also dealing with my asshole roommate while also looking for other roommates (to no real success).
Things felt good initially after the move, I loved the new home and the space it gave, enough to actually decorate my living space and personalize my room for the first time in years. Then things at work got really bad. But then I got one of my dream dogs in July and she was honestly the highlight of my whole year! But caring for a new puppy as well as beginning her training for service work took a good deal of my spare time in the beginning. Then my roommate situation got even worse and my work situation got horrendous and my financial situation also got really bad. So I decided I'd move back in with my parents to both help them out health wise due to my moms medical needs, as well as to help myself get financially back on my feet after having multiple roommates drain me financially. (Altogether, they owe me $2000+ which has only increased due to interest charges on my credit cards that were used to cover housing expenses to keep the roof over our heads because they either couldn't afford to, or they willfully ignored what was owed).
I moved back into my parents home at the end of September. I had a handful of furniture and items/boxes that required a storage unit but my financial burdens have been greatly lifted otherwise and the only thing holding me back from fully recovering is the interest that eats up any progress I make. I'm working hard to conquer that right now. Because of this move, I have been busy with unpacking, getting established at work (and searching for a new, better paying job in the meantime lol), caring for my pets as well as my mom's puppy, training a service dog, and so much more. It's unfortunately kept me away from any notable art progress this year.
Due to my financial struggles, I've been trying to complete some adoptable designs as well as having started a Holiday/Christmas YCH that I unfortunately wasn't able to complete and post prior to the holidays as badly as I wanted to get it posted. I also have a handful of commissions and owed art that I still need to complete. Nothing massively difficult or detailed, just stuff I haven't yet had the time this year to complete.
tldr; 2024 sucked and so do roommates. Also fuck capitalism.
2025 Goals:
Things have finally started to settle down since I moved and I'm starting to finally feel some of the stress and pressure off my shoulders so I am hoping that will lead to more time to getting my owed artwork completed. Now that the holidays are over as well, it should help lessen the strain on my schedule outside of work.
Ultimately my goal in 2025 is to make more personal artwork. Aside from the current limited commission options I have posted and open right now, and MAYBE a YCH or simple commission or two that I may post in the future, I do not plan to take on new commissions in 2025. My main goals are these:
1. Finish owed art/edits! Most of these are just additional details or edits of an adoptable sheet, but I do also have a YCH and a couple simple sketches to complete as well as giveaway art that I owe (That's right, I haven't forgotten lol!).
2. Complete some reference sheets for my own characters!!! I have so many furry OCs but have literally not gotten to make any art of them in years to post here.
3. Start streaming again! I only streamed 1 time for gameplay in early 2024 after I moved homes and got settled. I would like to pick it back up now that life has started to settle down for me again. I plan on streaming new games and artwork more regularly! I'm even currently working on fixing up the background for my facecam to help get motivated back into a more regular schedule.
tldrl; I wanna be more active posting art here lol
I really hope that yall have had a good start to the new year, and I hope to be more present here in the coming months with new art.
