Hey guys it's Nexus. I know a lot of you are wondering what happened to the blog or why we haven't been answering asks. To be blunt: I am burnt out and tired. I've been having some mental breakdowns lately due to personal stuff, but the long and short is that I'm tired and I'm gonna be taking a break, not just from this blog, but my main as well. I'll still be around, just not as active as I normally am. Sorry about all this. Take care, superstars.

drooling over your orange beaded curtain, it is SO stunning!! do you happen to have a pattern you used to make it?

Kind of? I’m sure there is a much more efficient way to make this, but I was kind of winging it. But I made this in Procreate and used each box as a bead.

You can kind of see off to the side in the below picture, I figured out how many beads were in each row and then did another tally with the order of every color included on one strand. Rinse and Repeat with 105 (I think) rows of beads :)

I don’t have the papers with what colors were in every strand, and honestly they looked like the ravings of a madman so I’m not sure if they’d be helpful to anybody 😅

I’ll be much more efficient with the next one I attempt so I can share the template if that is something people would like :)

And feel free to use the above template if you’d like to. Just tag me so I can see your lovely work! 💙

Sadly I do not have pictures of its full glory and it’s in a sad little spread on my closet floor atm

But I do have these progress and concepts shots!

Hello! I haven’t been following d20 very closely for a while but I just wanted to let you know that your book cover style pieces bring me so much joy every time I see them :)) that’s all have a great day <3

THANK YOU so much! I've had an absolute blast working on them, so hearing that they can be a highlight of people's week makes mine :)

d20 is gonna have to deal with me making these for a while lol

It feels so shitty to be excited to make stuff, share it, and hear the great feedback from people that have helped make me a better artist and now I just might not get to see that anymore.

One of my most popular posts was a project I made on a whim and turns out a lot of people really liked it and were inspired to make their own - and if I had made that post now I couldn't have answered all those questions I got and gotten excited enough to make a second project (that is in limbo because of moving and stuff but STILL!).

I really hope this gets rolled back... it won't stop me from making art, but it really silences the community and encouragement I've enjoyed here. And that just fucking sucks.
