Hi everybody!
I know I've been silent for... well, more than a while.
I hope 2023 had at least a decent start for all of you.
Here everything's fine, I'm just being steamrolled by... life. A lot of stuff happened. Things at work are extremely busy, and I haven't been able to draw what I want to draw in quite some time. I truly miss it, but life's life, and life as an adult occasionally sucks.
I've got a sweet new laptop and I finally ditched Photoshop - pricing became borderline ridiculous - and switched to Clip Studio Paint. I'm playing around with it, but I've been using a different software for something like 15 years by now and it will take some time before it feels "right" again. I'm still very clumsy, but I like it, and it has a lot of potential.

As usual, I'm sorry for making you wait, but I want to reassure everyone in line that I'm not going to disappear!

I need to gather more confidence and some motivation to keep going. I'm working a lot on pixel art right now and I got back to programming with Ruby, something that usually helps me to unwind.

I'm not really a believer in "new year new me", but a new year is a good excuse to make some little changes - sustainable habits that I'll be able to keep doing. So I'm trying to take better care of myself, both physically and mentally - regular meals, more exercise, being able to say "no", take a break if I need it, buy less stuff I don't really need just for that sweet sweet dopamine spike.

I have to get myself together, and I'm working on that.
