When I decided to come back to FA and start freelancing again, one of my goals was to catch up to my friends' numbers of watchers. I really fell behind from a combination of being distracted with army stuff and being off FA. Pragmatically, the goal was to expand my clientele, so that I could actually afford to eat and keep the lights on while make the switch back to civilian life. That's still a challenge, but I've been optimistic because it's been continuously getting better.

Beyond finances, i feel that my work has shot way up in quality since I started doing this again. That's due, in part, to the people here who have commissioned me, giving me cool characters to draw in challenging ways. I've really been enjoying the work that I've been getting, and I'm grateful for it!

It means a lot to me that people have been so receptive of my work. I feel really happy, especially since, today, I surpassed my first milestone of 1000 followers! I also passed 100 on my art Twitter recently. It's unreal that so many people would be interested in my art. Thank you, everyone!

I'll be doing a giveaway as soon as I clear my current commission queue in celebration. In the mean time, check out this related pic!
