Just wanted to drop a little update before the new year to let people know where I'm at!

December has been an unexpectedly overwhelming and stressful month to say the least, so I think for the rest of the month I'm just gonna focus on finishing out my owed work and letting things chill. I got SO many good prompts on my speedpaint opening, and I'm really sad I didn't get to get around to more of them!! In the future I'll probably do a mix of first come first served AND artist choice openings, so maybe that'll give people a good mix of ways to get art from me, but it'll still all be in small easily managed batches.

I also got my new shop opened, which I hope to sink a good amount of time into filling up with new merch! I miss it a lot, and I'm looking forward to getting to dabble in more fanart stuff again since it was the majority of what I drew before I started commission work. Check it out here if you wanna! Very empty, but it's a work in progress!

So I'll get what I have left done and then I'll take some new commissions in January. I'm a little on the fence on if I just want to keep the speedpaint journal from November and continue picking from that or make a new one? There were so many prompts that I wanted to get around to, but I guess I'll see how you guys feel about it! I know a lot of people are tapped financially after the holidays, so that's why I'd consider a fresh journal in case people can't do it so soon after the holidays.

Hope everyone has a lovely holiday!
