Hey everyone! Season's greetings! I hope all of you had a very Merry Christmas! First of all, I want to extend my most heartfelt gratitude to all of you over the past month who have commented and faved my Lithixmas project. It was essentially conceived as a way of doling out Christmas gifts to all of my friends on Discord, but the amount of attention it received here too is truly humbling! Altogether over the past month, I've seen a tremendous surge in favorites, with over 360 and counting since the end of November! This is the first time I've ever seen a number that high, either here or on my old defunct account at DA, and I never expected to ever experience that amount of attention. ^^;; Thank you all so much for making me feel like my art is really appreciated. And I also would like to extend a very special welcome to all of the new watchers I picked up over the course of December, too-- thanks for taking such an interest in my work, and I hope I can continue to produce artwork that appeals to all of you.

In all likelihood, this is going to be my last journal entry of 2019. So, as we move into the new year, I wanted to give you a bit of an update, and explain what you can expect from me in terms of starting off 2020. First of all-- there are a few one-shot personal projects that I would like to work on for the beginning of January, after the holiday buzz has died down a bit. And then... I'm once again considering opening up commissions in the later part of the month. I know I tried that once, and ended up not doing it due to lack of public interest; this time, however, I have actually had several people over the past month come to me and inquire about them, so I figured this was a good time to try again. I'll try to have some sort of pricing guide for everyone in place before I announce that I'm open. Keep in mind, this is going to be extremely limited-- I can't devote my full time to TF commissions, and I'm just sort of testing the waters again, so for this first batch, I'm only thinking about opening 5 slots. If this ends up being successful, maybe I'll be able to take a second batch later on. Keep an eye on my journal in mid-January for more information!

Once again, thank you all for such a positive reception! I hope everyone has a wonderful New Year, and I'll see you again in January!
