VERY LATE DECEMBER UPDATE

Look at that, I just STRAIGHT UP forgot to post a monthly community update - which just goes to show how busy the month has been, oh boy 😂

HELLO EVERYBODY, I've been in FULL HOLIDAY MODE since the month has started and been on a lot of Christmas markets, friends & family meetings, went Christmas shopping, while trying to still somehow find the time to draw and organizing that VERY last minute Anniversary stream last Friday...

It will continue to stay this busy and I am crossing my fingers that I will stay HEALTHY through all of it 😂🤞 I'll be spending Christmas at my BEST FRIENDS PLACE and I am very excited for that and am praying to the hEALTH GODS more than anything to keep me fit until then...

It unfortunately looks like I oNCE AGAIN won't get my little reindeer project done. I already wanted to design reindeers last year and didn't get to do it - at least I got sTARTED this time around, I'll probably still post a wip of the rough designs, but an actual ILLUSTRATION happening with those designs seems unlikely at this point.

But I'll still get around to posting that fancy piece of Guzma and El dressed up, which I worked on during the Anniversary Livestream :D It's ALMOST finished! And I'll probably even be able to share another comic wip before Christmas. Aside from that, whatever gets finished next is completely up in the air xD There's mANY illustrations I started this year that I am itching to finish, now that the year is almost over...we'll see which ones I'll still be able to finish before New Years Eve!

OH - there's ONE more big thing I'm happy to announce though -
I'LL BE GETTING A NEW PC!!
That last Livestream really was the final straw. I am SO TIRED of my PC crashing 3 times and me fearing for the life of my drawings everytime I'm live on the air. I knew my PC had to be updated either way due to Microsoftsupposedly pressuring everyone to switch to Windows 11 next year (we'll see about that...), but apparently I'll need a whOLE new one alltogether. I contacted a friend who LOVES setting up and building PCs together and he threw me a whole list of parts together in a single afternoon, based on my wishes in regards of performance. And he managed to throw together a setup that is wAY under the budget of what I originally had to pay for my old PC - which is probably because I won't have to replace my ENTIRE setup, but man do I appreciate the price being under 1000 bucks which I EXPECTED to have to invest.
My PC is actually over 9 years old, so you know what, all things considered it had a good run. And now I'll be starting FRESH into the new year with a new one! I ordered the parts today and my friend will probably come over in early January to build everything together at my place. I REALLY appreciate his massive help, I'm so grateful for my friends, they freaking RULE ;w;

So yeah, MASSIVE UPGRADE and if everything works out according to plan then we'll probably have a LOT better Livestreams in the near future 😌 I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO IT!!

As always, thank you all SO MUCH for your massive support throughout the year - some naturally had to skip on this month due to holiday expenses but I really appreciate all of you who stayed regardless! 💖💕 Also shout-out to those of you who had to leave for December but DM'ed me about returning sometime next year again, y'all are just the sweetest things 🥹🥰💖💕
I'll probably do another community update for New Years Eve, looking back on the year 2024 - I think there'll be A LOT of positives to list, even more than any year before! :D

See you all around for that, for now an early Merry Christmas from me and HAPPY HOLIDAYS! :D
