Archives Updated + Small Life Update
5 years ago
As you might've noticed, I've been uploading a lot over the past month. Someone sent a note one day that was like "yo, I noticed you don't upload much at all here compared to twitter, might be good to upload more here." For some reason, after reading that note, I was compelled to upload almost everything I uploaded to twitter but never here, from 2016 to present. It was a massive undertaking. More than 1300 files to sift through and 120 edits made specially for FA, all submitted with titles, descriptions and tags, starting 5th August and (sorta) finishing today. There are a handful of pics that ended up on Gallery, but there are now HUNDREDS of archived drawings in Scraps to scroll through at your leisure! Glad a lot of people have enjoyed this massive surge of stuff. All your comments and faves are very much appreciated! After this, I hope to upload more personal sketches to FA in future, if only to prevent myself from having to do a mass upload like this ever again. xD
Work has continued to be hella busy since the last blog. Over the summer, I finally managed to get a few weeks off, spread over the last couple months. My co-worker and I agreed to cover the full workload for eachother a week at a time, and it was really hard covering those weeks, but DAMN that time off was good! For context, I hadn't had more than a day per week off work since mid-April, and those six days a week are busy, so you can imagine the toll that took, on top of living alone. More good news. If all goes well enough going forward, I may only have to cover the full workload Fri-Sat every week until Black Friday starts to loom. Also, parents planning to move in November, so hopefully less lonely and get my shit together more for the dark winter ahead. Will see how this shakes out in terms of art output. If I'm in a good enough place to open commissions again, I'll let you know here and on twitter. In the meantime, though, I'm gonna try and take it easy. Thanks for sticking round, everyone. <3
P.S. If there's any old stuff from twitter you think I've missed uploading here, please let me know! I got a buncha sketches done since I started on the backlog, and a treasure trove of commissions from other artists that I could upload as well. Anything else, though, hit me up! Cheers!

Nice to see a bunch of really good art come here. Love a lot of this, I don't check Twitter very often at all. I'm looking forward to seeing more~!

I try to follow your posting on Twitter, but have really enjoyed seeing the stuff pop up collectively on FA. Best of luck in the upcoming months, Valkitty ^^
