. Still I intend, now more so than ever, to dedicate as much time to my art and try to improve. The last few Snow pictures, both of which were hand drawn and the upcoming third (technically fourth...) version of "Waiting for the Sun" are hopefully better signs of my improvement.

Mini Art Update
Currently working on the third comm. This is easily the hardest piece I've done so far, but I'm aiming for it to be out on Wednesday as usual. However, the piece is not dA safe so please check my Twitter or Bluesky to see it. I may upload a "dA" safe version of this piece, as well as the birthday gift and second commission I did in March. Due to burnout, I'll do a quick personal piece/art meme a friend showed me. I'll do the two fan art pieces from the polls I ran in February and March. Hopefully, I'll then be on top of the monthly fanart pieces for May onwards. If you've not seen the results, here they are: I'll reopen commissions in early May with two or three slots. Thanks again as always for your support.
2024 Update
Totally not stealing this idea from @QueenAlchy. Current 2024 Goals Producing one drawing a week, namely on a Wednesday. I've heard having a schedule can help with engagement as it encourages people to check your socials etc. at a specific time. Obviously this is subject to change depending on IRL stuff goes (busy week, illness/injury, tech issue etc.) but I will try and keep people informed as and when delays happen. More fanart. I've held off doing this for a while, but I know fanart is a good way to grow on these platforms. I had planned to a fanart poll for January, but events delayed this from happening. I'll look to launch this in Feb with the idea being it'll be for March, as I want to draw Kafka from Honkai: Star Rail and Narmaya from Granblue for Jan and Feb respectively. More sexytime stuff. This has been a long time in the planning, and after recent drawings allowed me to dip my toes in this more than before, I'm slowly lowering myself into that pool. As always, I'll take
End of 2023 Update
My, what a year. Burnout I had hoped 2023 would be a better year for me, after losing family members and beloved pets during 2022 and while personally 2023 was a better year, it wasn't without it's mental drains. While I don't feel burnout in the artist sense (far from it, but I'll get to that later), life as a whole has left me feeling a tad burnt out. Instead, it's mainly been burnout in the social and work sense. As some may recall, around this time last year one of my two team mates had an accident where he broke three bones across both of his arms, rendering him unable to work as he recovered. He came back around March, but by that point I could definitely feel myself getting burnt out from having to take on the additional work. Just because we were a man down didn't mean we had any less work to do. As the year went on, our workload has continued to expand, often having to help a neighbouring team with his workload, leading to a case of feeling like I was doing an extra half a
2024 Goals/About My Art Projects
Taking a leaf out of @Jadago-Art's book with the posts he's made about his art projects, I realised I've never fully explaining my own art projects and where they currently stand. If we haven't had a chat, you might've seen my characters around, but know little about the projects they come from. Put simply, these projects are either a bit of a mess as they're made up of possess numerous disjointed ideas that lack cohesion, and are in need of either a reboot, or the project as a whole needs a lot more fleshing out. Main Projects Gems of Radiance: Evolving into a Monster Odyssey This started off as a mix of an elf fetish, Castlevania, and Power Rangers, "Gems of Radiance" has undergone some reworking. Inspired by a recent chat with @Otocai, I'll be shifting towards a "monster of the week" approach. The core monsters, now not just vampires, are using their powers to turn others into creatures too. I'm excited about this evolution, but @Otocai's suggestions and my notes still warrant

Hmmm if I combined my old account I never used with the one I have now, maybe I might get 5 years too. You are right about artist giving each other feedback, and the community working together. Most times I feel like the DA community is not that talkative is all, so it's really hard to get to know people and make friends. Good to know you've met a good group of people who help you out.
