Little message to spread to my fellow artists, don't pressure yourself to draw something you don't feel inspired with, art is what makes the person express themselves on the inside and should not be pushed by other people to draw something they want to see, good art starts with respect.

Hey everyone! :)

I am willing to plan getting back to drawing next week after my birthday so after a good spring break, it's good to be getting back! (even though I said that a lot I'm from now I'm going to avoid discussing my inactivity and re-activity)

What I have been doing in the past few weeks I been heading out more often as I had no ideas for art, it's something I used to be doing before the pandemic hit and I been exploring a lot around my hometown of Sydney where things have dramatically changed for better or worse but it was good to be getting out exploring again! By exploring areas outside of that city zone I may have some ideas came in my head for my loveable characters and I thought of a way that their fictional map might have been expanded to be bigger, that's all I would say ~

In the meantime since my birthday is upcoming this Saturday you are more than welcome to make any gift art you want for me in your own style ~ :3

My birthday is upcoming this Saturday, just so you know ~ :3

Another year older doesn't mean I'm any less of myself ~

Hey guys, I recently set up a telegram account as an alternative to Discord, if you use Telegram feel free to give me a chat there when I am available ~ (Must be 18 years of age)

I have just set up an Art Fight account and I know the event has already passed this year, at least using this off season would help get me prepared for next year or if there is an event outside of the main July event, I'll see what happens there but if you have an account and wish to follow I'll be right here: https://artfight.net/~AviZergen



On the next July event it will be my first time, bring on 2026!

Thanks to Glitz for the invite I now set up an account at Toyhou.se, if you have an account there feel free to Subscribe: https://toyhou.se/AviZergen

Be advised it's invite only right now.

Happy July everyone which does mean we are already halfway through the year, time really flies!

Regarding myself in my personal life I am doing better as I was before, I was busy around the house, caught up with classic games and did recreational activities again such as swimming, my productivity is slowly improving and after a good break from art the negative feelings that faded away from my mind and I am not bothered with my inactivity now, sometimes when we all have burnout we need a good long break to maintain our mental wellbeing.

I do hope you understand that we can't always be online all the time due to some matters but I really still do check up online once in a while and chat when I am available, having you guys as watchers and friends are what really matters to help keep me active online.

When it comes to art I will do some practice drawing to de-rust during the week then I will do some small projects until I work my productivity up again, later in the month I may consider opening commissions when I am ready to be productive.

It doesn't matter if I lost some watchers during this rough period, as I get back to being active with content at my own personal pace I will build my way back up again, until then I hope you guys look after your wellbeing.

If at anytime you want to contact me for questions or anything, feel free to send me a note or you can ask me for my Discord, thank you for your patience ~

Once I get back to my artistic routines, I will feel used to it again, everyday is better! ^^

Hey friends and watchers! ^^



Just so you know I am alright and still around and I apologize for lack of art, rest assured I am getting better by the day.



From July as it will be halfway through the year and even half way through the decade, I have been thinking of new ideas for my art weather it be simple or complex but I'm not even gonna be forcing myself to make new art, only if I feel ready to.



I will still be online to comment on art and faving them but you will see me make some art from next month, thanks for patience and bearing with me during this rough first half of the year, you're all awesome and hope you stay creative! ^^

As of yet we can't upload anything, it's best they figured during the downtime and work those upload problems out than being sorry right? I'm all patient to wait as I plan to make new art for next week.

In the meantime you can enjoy my "Sorcerer Apprentice" art I uploaded before the site went down ~

This is a short brief entry to wish you all a Happy Easter! Hope the Bunny (or Bilby over here) visited while you slept and left you lots of chocolates and sweets! ~ :3

It won't matter if I do lose watchers over time as I am not on any competitive state, what matters is me sharing the content I have made myself with my own self imagination and certain people do love what I create no matter how long the interval is, yeah I'm never dead ~

I am starting to sound like my former self again, but in regards to inactivity and such I will shut up about it now.

I'm deciding I should have a second identity for my gaming side in the coming weeks ahead, the name AviZergen is more on the artist side of content and the dragon is the form of my sona for art, you'll find out later what species my gaming sona will be, the name Avi will still be the same because Avi is me ~

What do you think about this?

Okay not quite mid March yet but I wanna write this update.



I sincerely apologize for my inactivity over the past month as well as my mood being a little off, it really hasn't been an easy time on my end and while I will not talk about the detail of what happened during that time, there are some things that should not be discussed online so I'm just gonna leave it at that.



Importantly I have recently been getting up in the mornings again, going to sleep at the right times and been adding breakfast back into my meal routines, as a result that my mood has been improving for the better of times, I feel I wanna return my regular activities as of next week and while I will still not be 100% as of yet at the time, I will continue to work my way to get used to doing art that I love again, especially for a living, at my own pace of course ~



I am also ready to be social to you guys again, I will try not to distance from socials in the future whenever I feel down, I understand you guys are here for me and that is one thing I am grateful, I have lost 3 watchers during that period but that's fine, I'm not on any competitive level, as long you guys really love the art I make to help my stress, that's all that matters, but now with advanced AI artwork you will NOT ever see me upload anything with that nature, all art I upload is actually self made with my own imagination.



I really do hope you're okay on your end, I want to thank you friends and watchers for continuing to support me no matter what, later in the year there will be some changes, nothing major of course but it has something to do with my gaming side, I'll let you wait and see in due time. (You will believe it when you see it, lol!)



In the meantime I wish you all well, safe and in good health! ~ *gives warm dragon hugs*

Just to let you know when I'm ready to get back into art, there is gonna be some little changes to my style, nothing too major.



As I progress more talent as an artist, I like to add more detail to my dragon art so Rico is gonna have a little change to match his red colour scheme, while Rico's personality will remain the same ~

Hey friends and watchers I just want to be really brief on what's been going on with me in the past few weeks, I unexpectedly went silent as it hasn't been really good for me as there were family matters that had to be dealt with which I am not going to mention but rest assured it's all good now and we are all moving on, I will tell you it wasn't a very pleasant experience.... but I'm using my own time possible to get myself better mentally and physically.

All that aside I will have interest in drawing again next week but my game livestreams will still be off for the time being until mid March, so I hope you can all stay tuned.

Just so you know I have been active often on Retroachievements playing some games in my own time during that period, you can check out my account here for my progress and seeing what I have been playing: https://retroachievements.org/user/AviZergen

I really apologize for my inactivity but I do want to get back and to any artists I watch I will be looking forward to seeing what you guys will come up with in the coming days, in the meantime hope you keep on drawing!

Hey guys hope you're all well and still creating ~ c:



I'm doing fine and having a good start of the year (so far) but yet lately I have been inactive due to the Australian Open Grand Slam, they always distract me during January! >///<



I will resume full time after the tournament as concluded, my live streams are planned to return on the 30th and commissions will plan to reopen as well, hope I go well this year ~



Take care guys and GO ALEX DE MINAUR!!!!!!!!

There will be no livestreams this week as I need more time to work on my OBS and as well as my commission sheet so I can reopen my commissions, I need to prioritise my art first before jumping right back on games so I hope you can tune in next week ~

It's hard to believe we are now in the new year of 2025, Happy New Year to you all and thank you for your great support, long may that continue in 2025 and beyond ~ ^^

As it's gonna be the year 2025 soon I wanna make this resolution list on what I had planned that I hope to stick to:



I'm gonna cease using AI generation for good in private, I studied enough of it to make me figure out which images uploaded are AI generated

I'm gonna cut down on junk that I eat, it's taking so much out of me

I'm gonna make my commissions stay open when I re-open them with the prices I had permanently set unless there are unnecessary inflation rises

I'm gonna make more savings to my money

I'm gonna try my skills to make something different that I normally do

I'm gonna go out to more places more often on my outings

I'm gonna try to fit into more activities and exercise more often

I'm gonna work on my digital art projects on weekdays

I'm gonna stream more often with more games to play and make some challenges for me to do for interest and for sport

I'm gonna be more happier

I'm gonna stick to my resolution

I will be helping out around the house more often with family

I will try to be more social more

I'm gonna enjoy the new year!

That's all I had planned, hope you also have a resolution planned you can stick to and have a happy 2025!

We're in for some 8-bit Sonic the Hedgehog action today, join me on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/avizergen

Anyone who comes on my streams, what games would you suggest for me to play in the future?

Live streaming now, gonna be finishing off Tomb Raider II today, feel free to join me: https://www.twitch.tv/avizergen

Avi is live right now, feel free to join my game session: https://www.twitch.tv/avizergen

We're now in the period of December which means it's hard to believe that it's Christmas time once again!



As I return to the internet after a couple of weeks off which I needed I will tell you I had a nice break and while some stress isn't avoidable, I can say that I feel more happier to be back online, regarding to my drawing skill it never dies out on me so I can safely say that my art skills will always be inside of me and will continue to enjoy it today. ^^



In the matter of days I will open my commissions once again and at the time I will work on some Christmas pictures to help get you all in the mood especially for the new year approaching already and while the year of the dragon will be coming to an end, keep in mind it will be the year of the snake next year, so do be looking forward for that.



During the past couple of weeks I had a fallen out with my employment program which means I am currently on my own, I'm not too upset about it however as I will continue to be looking for temporary work in the new year if possible, in the meantime I will continue to do what I had planned here online for myself and for you guys to see and enjoy ~



A few days ago I spent a nice time up in Newcastle, with their beaches I managed to avoid a heatwave and enjoying a sea breeze, always a nice time outside ~



As I just returned I will not be streaming until next week I am afraid as I need to fix up my OBS, next week will be a change of plans as I will be playing on what I consider having the best mechanics, Tomb Raider II!



So until then, hope you will continue to enjoy what I upload whenever possible and hope you can come next week on Twitch for Tomb Raider!



Last thing I want to say, I feel much happier being online with you guys, with you all sticking around you're all great! ~ :)

So what happened yesterday is that I had a really bad artist block when trying to draw something and I just wasn't enjoying it like I used to, it's not that I think I am bad at drawing, no I do love what I make, it's just when I try drawing the head I always feel it was in the wrong place that prevented me from fitting the character in the A4 piece of paper, I didn't wanna keep on feeling unhappy about it so it was best that I like to take this break until December comes, I'm sorry I freaked out yesterday but some things are too much on my mind, when I take some days off and not focus on too much things, I will feel more happier when December comes.
