Wow, it took almost half a year to get to this point. I remember it started pretty quickly from 1300, but then slowed down. Or it's just my feeling, IDK. Glad to see a familiar face from Twitter giving me that 1400th watch ;)

This journal is gonna be a little longer since it's been almost 6 months. I gotta sum up a lot of things that happened, so here we go!

A lot has happened since December. Only about a week after my last milestone, I started working on another model. Those that watch me on Twitter and Bluesky know, but for those that don't, I am making another dragon. And only 3 days ago, I revealed it's a female dragoness. So Alexstrasza will have a good friend (hopefully). They have some things in common, so I believe they will be friends ;)

Progress is going pretty well, but I did crash into some obstacles. Yesterday I finally finished adding every single part on her body, but the biggest obstacle is how I should connect them all! I mean spikes, gums and those kind of things. I will find the way eventually, but it will take some time. Especially with creating mesh. With Alexstrasza, it took from June 2023 to February 2024, and since June is approaching, at least I can measure which one will take longer. But I hope now I'll be much quicker. Model may not be done this year, but I'll do what I can to finish this dragoness! Feeling really good about her. I even had forms open for people who want to guess who that dragon is. I already closed them and had 5 winners, who will get free render when revealed!

I did unfortunately experience social problems with 2 friends I cared about. They still persist, so I'm not gonna be too specific. Let's just say not caring makes me feel better, bc at least then I don't need to think about it.

I started being much more active on Bluesky. In fact, I'd rather get better reach in there than Twitter, but I'm still far from that, so please, give me a follow there if you can. I stopped being that much involved in politics bc it just didn't do that good to me mentally, but make no mistake. I am still supporting Ukraine! I just see no point in retweeting stuff since MOST of the people that follow me are on the same side as me. I retweet and post art stuff for the MOST part. And that makes it a little easier for me. At least politics are not in my head all the time.

Got some plans in my head. I am slowly preparing to launch my own Patreon, hopefully making much more stuff and feel motivated to do so. I do have some doubts as I did that in 2018 and have very dark memories of it. So, it would change my life completely if I was successful now and finally got steady income since I have pretty much none. It's very very weak. I have Ko-Fi, but that's not very regular either. haven't had a donation in about a year now. I am prepraring a new, longer animation with Alexstrasza and hopefully more animations to come with it, trying to remake Momma's model, making a brand new dragoness model, some fine renders with Vixen (female anthro fox), that I am now allowed to use commercially and of course, I am also preparing my regular 8/8 auction with Lissie. Coming soon! ;)

Also, I am almost 30! Until July 11th, I live my last moments of my life being in my 20s. Honestly sad to me. I loved 20s. It's fun! But that's how life is - we all get older and hopefully wiser! I still feel like in my 10s though. At least mentally. Or at least early 20s. Anyway, I hope it will be a good day. Really wish, but I don't have high expectations anymore.

Well, that was a lot to unpack! There's probably much more, but I just don't remember. Main things are dragon model, 8/8 auction, Bluesky and future plans!

Thank you for 1400 watchers. See you next time at 1500! We are getting to halfway to 2000!!!
