Round 3 of the blocks and the last set that I did over the Christmas break I had from both of my jobs. I want to say that I've had highs and lows whenever it came to each design I've done for this series, but I think this is my most consistent set! I got a lot of help with the muscle definitions for Sirius and Vreek, Grand Sir Prize (GSP) was nice to do, since he's the fursona of my friend's girlfriend --- so we're better friends now as we used to not like each other when we first met, and Abbot had a lot of free reign and I got to design a friend's fursona from scratch outside of a very vague reference to his tastes in 1970s styled clothing. I quite like his horns. As usual, if you have any feedback, I am totally down to hear any pointers.

Work is starting back up again more proper next week, so I'm hoping I can survive the more typical schedule for my data billing job after 2 weeks of shorter days and freer weekends (though I have to work at my retail job, as of posting this weekend). The New Year's holiday went well for me, besides art, my grandma and I cooked and had a friend over for dinner, I played a few games with another friend, and recently had a restaurant dinner outing with another friend whom I like but trying to work up the nerve to see if their interested. That's neither here or there though.

Speaking of New Year's, I seem to have fallen into the trap of seeing Instagram posts of everyone being so happy and having idealized moments throughout the year. While I understand that these are quite literally just snapshots of specific moments in people's lives, it really makes me want more. Likely not the most appropriate thing to put on a random FA post, but I dislike how reclusive I feel or afraid of how I come off. I'm not entirely sure what I want more of out of life, but I guess just to enjoy things and take more risks. Nothing insane, of course, but like, going to concerts or feeling more confident about myself and being able to do things on my own without having to cling to another person to feel safe. I went to a local concert my coworker friend had for their brother at a restaurant, as well as went to a lot of movies this year, and a comic con; I think that may be a good start.
