Artist Blog - Updates & Life
Status report:
Not dead. I haven't been drawing as often as I'd like, but my health is doing better and the burnout has passed.
I am making more time for myself to work on personal art: I am painting often with acrylics and am proud of how lovely they are turning out. It feels like I've gotten better at it.
I am also setting aside more time for reading, when I am not working. I shall leave a few recommendations if you are in need of any:
"Gilded" by Marissa Meyer; A Rumpelstiltskin retelling married with the Wild Hunt. Mystery-fantasy. A charming duology.
"Destiny Disrupted" if you enjoy history, nonfiction, and Middle Eastern culture.
"The Tethered Mage" if you enjoy Venice, political intrigue, adult fantasy, LGBTQIA+ cast of characters, and witty banter. Trilogy.
"Episode Thirteen" if you like ghost hunting & House of Leaves. Thanks for the reach TMA fandom!
"The Invisible Man & His Soon-to-Be Wife" for cozy romance-fiction. Manga series.
"The Pumpkin Princess and the Forever Night" if you love Halloween, "The Nightmare Before Christmas", and found family. Middle grade fantasy.
I have not been posting the paintings or similar artwork on my social media, in part to recovering from burnout and the latest waves of AI. It's an odd experience to want to be able to share art, but for fear of my work (new and old) becoming scraped without my consent.
To my fellow Critters, how lovely we get to see DaggerHeart and the latest C4 news~ Thank you for all the love on my Essek and Cerrit art.
I'll try not to be a stranger. Hope you are well.

Happy DaggerHeart Day, Critters.
Updates
Hello readers,
I've decided at this time, I'd like to keep Gifted Arcana on Webtoon Canvas. It will be on a hiatus, but I do intend to return and keep writing.
I've decided I'd like to instead expand the story onto another platform. Make it more available to my audience. If I ever permanently move GA to another platform, there would be another update.
As to which platform(s), do stay tuned in the new few months for more information, and thank you all for your patience.
Still Out and About
It's been some time.
I'm still out and about. A lot to do, and a lot on my mind, which hasn't left much time for me to visit online like I used to.
It's hard to write a story, and even harder convincing someone to read it, or find a platform / outlet that will uphold the work you strove to create as intended.
I needed to step away, as a creator and a person. I still have many stories in me, but I can't do much good if I am burnt out.
I have been on a (summer) seasonal hiatus with my fantasy YA webcomic, Gifted Arcana, and I have reason to turn it into a proper hiatus. The next chapter is very important to me that I write it with care, and I am deciding if I continue with WEBTOON Canvas, or extend the story elsewhere. In another way. A new home.
I thank you for your patience. To any readers who find this, waiting for updates and art. I am mostly recovered from burnout. And redefining myself. What my art is.
I hope you are well, finding the little joys in your day to day.
