my absence

General
I apologize for disappearing for such a long time. I realize that people may have been worried about me. I won't get into details, but it's been a very tough year for me (sadly, this seems to be a recurring trend...), and I haven't really been online, nor was I really able to do art. At the moment things are trending for the better. I've been dying to make art again and hopefully I will be able to do so consistently soon.
It's going to take some time to get caught up. I have a LOT to catch up on from FA notifications alone, so I'm probably going to try and minimize my commenting/faving in order to get through it all faster.
On that note: going forward, I'll probably be more picky about what images I favorite. In the past I've considered it as a "like" button, to support artists I enjoy, even if the individual image wasn't up my alley, but I'm going to more restrictive about content I don't care for (nude bits in particular). Though I probably won't go back through my existing favorites to remove things, because it would be too much of a hassle.
(This probably won't really matter to anyone, but I figured I'd mention it anyway.)
Plans for this year:
-Finish my main-cast reference sheets. Jazz is already finished (not uploaded), which leaves just Koni, and since she's so similar to Niko I hope that it should be an easy job.
-Upload all outstanding pics I've received. This is something I've said every year, but I will purposely make a conscious effort for real this time.
-I'm working on a cast of new characters. I won't say who or what they are yet, but I hope you'll enjoy them.
-Mini-comics of my characters, as I would really like to show more of their personality and interactions. In particular, I have a list of audio/dialogue clips from internet videos that I plan to use, but I'm open to suggestions if anyone has them (could be from cartoons, movies, internet, meme images, etc).
-I have an updated commission sheet/info finished, but I'm not quite ready to start accepting them again just yet.
I'm also considering whether to give Amaterasu/Ammy a re-design, so that she could more "my" character, rather than a video game one? What would people think of that?
Thank you very much for your patience and support.
