life updates & thanks for your support 💜
Added 2023-03-01 21:44:23 +0000 UTCHi all! Here's a little text update for March!
I didn't post as much as I wanted to this past month, so I wanted to apologize for the less frequent updates. February (and January too) ended up going by so quickly and I ended up a little overwhelmed - but there were some good things going on too, like projects that I just couldn't post for privacy/exclusivity reasons.
One thing I did last month was start doing some illustration work in collaboration with Studio Élan! I was approached by their head author/director to make some promo illustrations for their own Patreon. :D I will be working with them for the foreseeable future, too, so if you're interested in WLW visual novels and stories, check them out!
I will post the illustrations I've done for them after about a year (to keep it exclusive to their Patreon for a while). Perhaps I'll get to work with them on more things? It's an exciting new opportunity! ✨
I also created a dakimakura cover for another indie Vtuber, which I'll share once they make it available to the public! I always enjoy making daki covers because you can cram a lot of detail into them.
Other "normal" work has been coming along nicely, as well, so there's lots of art for me to post for you all to enjoy - I just need to catch up on that. Thank you for being patient with me!
On the personal side of things, I was very sick (mental illness-wise) this past week, so I have been a bit inactive in general and haven't done nearly as much posting on various platforms, streaming, etc. I am really grateful that I have so many people who support me regularly and are always interacting with my posts, commissioning me, and just generally looking at and sharing my art. It's a big comfort for me during these times where I don't feel "productive enough" or just am flat out not able to work because I'm unwell. Knowing that people are waiting for what I make next helps me bounce back once I'm feeling better. 💜
I really do want to improve on communication, like responding to positive comments and questions more quickly. I apologize to anyone who hasn't got a response, or has waited a long time for one - it's something I'm not good at, but something that I want to do better.
Thanks for reading this update, and thank you again for supporting me! Look forward to a lot of art this month as always! ( •̀ ω •́ )✧
