Oh gosh, 2025 came to an end so fast! Heavens, it’s been tough, but I wouldn’t have made it without your support. It has been absolutely massive. Thank you all so much, sending kisses to everyone!

First of all, I want to apologize to anyone I owe work to or anyone who has been waiting a long time. I’m truly trying. Since last year, I’ve been dealing with a bit of burnout and had to push through it, but gradually I’ve started doing more work and improving the quality. Thank you for continuing to believe in me; it honestly moves me to tears.

Looking at the final tally, I realize the year wasn't wasted. Haha, sure, most of my plans weren't fulfilled because of the eternal "financial pit," but the good news is—I’m climbing out! And I haven't burnt out; I’m just starting to burn even brighter. Thank you for your amazing ideas; I love diving into your characters' worlds, it’s incredibly interesting.

To be honest, at first, I didn't know what to do with myself in 2026, but then that little spark woke up in me again.

What’s coming this year (a little prediction and a small nudge to myself so I actually get it all done, lol)

-We’re bringing back streams! I really loved spending time with you guys, and I'm planning to restart them closer to February. I’ll try to refine the format and maybe add some perks. Oh, and I’ll subscribe to Picarto so VODs are saved—you’ve been asking for a long time, and I understand not everyone can watch live.

- I’m thinking about adding stickers as an option, hmm...

- There will be a bunch of new commission options (I want to gradually move away from just "drawings"; I’ve always been a fan of interactivity).

- I also really hope to find a platform to sell small lineart packs and holiday cards (Hipolink, Gumroad?).

- At first, I’ll likely keep you happy with new YCHs (but I think their number will decrease, as will open commission slots).

- I’m also bringing back regular social media posting (I’ll see if I can automate it, since preparing content in advance isn't hard).

- After closing the tier (“game ), damn, did you guys see those results? Thank you so much! I’ll hold a raffle among the QC participants, and as for the winner... well, we’ll decide together what they want most.

- I think you’ve noticed I love this kind of interactive stuff. Ha! We’re launching a new one: a goal for a new laptop (it’ll be much smaller than the last one, around $1300). Once I get it, I’ll actively start doing 3D, because my current laptop is acting up.

- And the next huge goal is moving... well, let’s see how it goes, I don't want to get ahead of myself. Currently, I live in Ukraine and it’s getting more dangerous every day. Even if there’s some kind of ceasefire, I’m just tired. Half my life has been instability, and I desperately want to be on the same level as other young adults. I’m 22 now; I want to focus on my growth, not on safety concerns and future anxieties. I want to build my future, not constantly worry about it. Damn.

These are just the work goals; there are plenty in other areas of my life too. (Gosh, I wanted to mention that I didn't pass my driving test on the first try. I was so sad because I hoped to be done with it, especially since you guys have been helping me so much with this—it's just massive. Thank you again; words can’t describe how grateful I am 😭❤️)
But it's okay! My retake is already scheduled for the 9th. I don't know if I'll manage everything by then, but I promise I’ll close this chapter in the first quarter of the year

Anyway, there’s a lot of work for next year. Let’s do this! And I won't get tired of saying it again: thank you. Without you, I definitely would have lost my mind.
