I'm still around, in case anyone was wondering. Just been very tired, feeling overwhelmed by a lot of stuff going on IRL. Still got a whole list of pictures I want to draw, but I haven't been in the mood. It might be a while before you see me post anything I made myself, but I would rather work on stuff when I'm feeling like I can do it well than try to force something to completion and end up with a low-quality work. At some point I know I'm going to have to just force something out anyway, but not now.

I do feel better about shutting down my Patreon page and closing commissions and all that crap. Still a little bad, because I know there are at least a couple of people who had ideas they wanted to see me do. I'm still always open for suggestions, of course, but keep in mind that that's all they would be.

At the very least I have managed to do some stuff for myself, but it's the kind of thing that isn't really important at this time. I'm talking, like, doing all the math to figure out an entire planet's mass, density, and distance from its star so that it's at least plausible that it's almost completely habitable. And that planet isn't Freedman IV, incidentally. I'll just say I'm working on a fourth OC (fourth not counting Ambrosia) and leave you with something to think about: what happens when a magic anomaly happens to create a brand new, fully sentient species reminiscent of something from a whole different species' ancient mythology? What would their society be like? (People I talk to on Discord, you might know what I'm hinting at here.) I honestly have no plans for this at all at this time – I'm just doing it just for fun.

And that's about it for now, I think. Later, everyone; hopefully I'll get something interesting done soon-ish.
