Life update and a few other tidbits~
Posted 2 years agoI'm aware my production rate isn't exactly what you'd call professional quality, nor is my artwork extremely consistent, but I do try!
ADHD, lots of distractions, IRL picking up and finally just -working- for me.. these are all things that make it that much harder to sit down and just draw-draw-draw.
If I'm being honest, I'd say art isn't as fun as it used to be and that most of the time, when I'm met with a blank canvas after opening my art program, I sit there and just "NOOoo... not again", then blank out.
My drive isn't ... DEAD, per say, but I don't have it in me to just accept any kind of request, commission or trade that comes along. I've made the "selfish" choice of choosing what I drew, when I draw, and for who.
If I'd been in the professional market, that'd surely mean I'd be -dead- on the art market, but lucky for me I've got a stable job with honestly pretty great income, I've got a social life that I can finally almost brag about, I've got things to do and I'm mentally happy and stable.
I even got myself a boyfriend! Who knew! After closing off my heart due to location, I've gone through a lot of things and finally even managed to open up to love! At the stellar age of 30!
So.. you could say that I've reached my "climax", but no self-respecting person would claim such a thing at such a young age. I mean, c'mon, it's not like I'm an anxious teenager anymore either, unlike when I started this whole art thing. ' w')/
Anyway, I ramble. I appreciate, love and adore every sweet word, every lewd comment and every bit of critique I'm presented with.
I learn from it, I absorb it and it nurtures me, even if I never get around to making this readily apparent for whomever gave it.
Your words mean a lot to me. I apologize that I can't get to replying to every single one that reaches out, but.. that's how busy my life has become.
I'll still post art, still be around for those I've established a lasting connection with and I'll hopefully breathe the same air as ya'll for many more years to come! (Unless the world just ends due to impending war or something..)
Ya'll are sweet and I'll be chiming in with a sketch or full piece now and then, so for those wondering: All is good with this silly Norwegian energy wuff!
Until then! <3

Posted 5 years agoTo those who reads this and has commented..
Ya'll with your sweet, encouraging comments.. how dare you make me happy.
Seriously, thanks for sending such kindness my way, even if it all -is- porn in the end and the human psyche acts less judgemental around porn because it's one of our base desires andthere'snothingwecanreallydoaboutitandsoforthetceteraallthatjazzthatIdon'thavetoreiteratemorethanonceamIright
.... THANK YOU! It actually made me smile. ' v'

I've been pretty hard to get a hold of, haven't I?
Posted 7 years agoHeyo!
I wanted to put up this journal so that those who've been seeking me out, wondering where I am and why I'm not posting any self-drawn art and such can get an answer on those questions! ' u'
I've been pretty hard to get a proper hold of as of late, leading to a lot of unopened chats and very few messages being returned to those I chat with, which makes me feel a little bad in all honesty. I want to reply more heartily like I used to, but it's gotten to the point that it's just a little harder to do so, oh dear..!
Conclusion: I think I've been struck with a really unfortunate curse called LAZINESS and it's been impeding my motivation to have long chats as well as getting any actual artistic work done.
It's really sucky, yupyup, but definitely a human weakness! (Oh no!)
I'm currently trying to burst free of the hold this laziness has on me, but it's proving to be quite challenging..
But fret not!
I'm still happy, healthy and hyper as ever juuuuust... reduced.
Maybe it's age?
Huff.
Either way, I'll always 'be around' and won't disappear suddenly, so that's never a worry anybody needs to have if that's a worry that anybody has, hoho~
So take care, folks! I'll be stickin' around, hopin' to pop back now and then with (hopefully) some art every once in a while!
...
(If I can get that goshdarned tablet workin' again, bluh!!)

To all my watchers that came back:
Posted 9 years agoYou guys are the sunshine that keeps me rollin', yo!
Really, thanks a whole bunch for deciding to keep following me~ I'm really grateful! THERE'S NO FUCKING WAY I'M SENDING YOU ALL A PERSONAL MESSAGE AS THANKS, but whoa.. it's pretty heartening to see the counter bing up with new and old usernames~
Ya'll care after all, huh? ;u; <3
I'll try not to disappoint!

Good day! It's me, Chris!
Posted 9 years agoMany might wonder why I'm doing this, but I felt it was high time I created a new gallery for myself and ditched the old one. While it's still under construction, this is going to be my main gallery from today forth, where I'll be posting all my future art pieces.
I'll start by filling up my gallery with my better pieces, starting at the oldest and working up towards the newest, so ya'll get a chance to review some of the pieces ya might not have seen in some years, hohoeho. (no really, go look when they're all up!)
I'll be spending some time sending shouts/notes to EACH AND EVERY SINGLE FUCKIN' ONE OF my watchers to let them know about the account move, rewatching the artists I've watched on my other account and... weeping over the fact that I'm not likely to go back to favoriting every single piece in my favorites gallery. ;3; WAAAH
ALL THAT TASTY ART. GONE.
But hey, I'm the same as ever. Though.. this is my fresh start.
Hope to impress and to grow with ya'll watching me do just that! ~ 'u' !!
