★✰★ Can't find my scanner, so just took some poorly lit phone photos for now! I'll probably repost them when I actually find the scanner. ★✰★

It's not much, but a few of the many sketches of this one (1) singular girl and her partner in my sketchbook... do I plan to fill this entire 60 page sketchbook with the two of them, front and back of the pages?

... Yes, yes I do.

An Update Nobody Asked For!

Hello there! It's been a very long time since I've posted anything here -- and it might continue to be a while until I post any art again. But, I just thought I'd put some of my thoughts out there and give a little update, in case anyone was wondering.

Outside of art, I've started taking college courses again to get a second degree to work my way into a new career. It's going well so far! Studying again has been nerve wracking, but also good for sharpening my brain again.

Artistically, I've gone back to traditional art; I gave my husband my old tablet, and there's been a bit of a learning curve getting back into it, but I feel a bit happier getting back to pencil and paper like old times.

Most of what I've been sketching has just been entirely original, self-indulgent characters. My husband and I have a pair of characters we've been playing around with a lot recently, and it's at least kept me inspired enough to have the drive to create at all.

So, on the bright side, I'm finally drawing somewhat regularly again! I've sketched a couple dozen little studies in the past two or three weeks, so my sketchbook is seeing some good use. I only got back into sketching with no finished illustrations, but it's nice to be making something again after so many years.

I don't feel confident enough in myself to be able to share anything yet, especially since it's all original (and the same two characters over and over), but maybe if there's interest or I have the confidence, I may try to share some of my work once I get back into the hang of painting again. We'll see -- otherwise, if I ever start drawing fan art again, that's when I'll start posting.

I hope everyone else has been doing well, and I wish you all luck with whatever you're all up to!

also would you ever consider making rf4 charms??? no pressure!

Hi there!! Sorry that it's been forever since you sent this ask. I've been overwhelmed with my full-time job and haven't had much time to think about my art blog!

Honestly, I'd love to make some RF4 charms eventually, once I have some more money to pay for the order costs -- I had originally planned to either make charms, stickers, or both of those chibis that I've still yet to finish, but life got in the way. Thank you for reminding me, though! I'd still love to finish them eventually.

I hope you're having a wonderful day, and I hope you have an even more wonderful week!

people will hear you talk about struggling with mental illness and say “you can do anything if you just put your mind to it”. brother what part of the body does the mental illness happen in. what do you think is the problem

[teasidesketches]

I've been Feeling a Certain Way(tm) lately and so I just wanted to give a little update that I'm not dead -- and to apologize for not posting anything for months now! m(_ _)m

More under the cut, but it's mostly just me bemoaning how things have been for me over the past... year or so? But! I'd like to start drawing and posting eventually again, my mental state willing.

I've been wanting to work on Ivory Weald again for a while now, and while not art-related, I've considered shifting it to a novel instead of a comic so I'll be able to finish it within my lifetime. But, well, both writing and drawing have been rather... impossible for me for months now just because of this intense mental block I have surrounding it right now.

Long story short, I've pretty much lost all my drive and confidence in art and writing after leaving a community that unintentionally broke those down in me.

I've been rather silent because, aside from having a full-time seasonal job until a couple weeks ago, I've been trying to give myself some time and be patient to hopefully "get over" those negative feelings. Alas, time hasn't been doing much to help, so I might need to go about it from a different, less passive angle?

It's just difficult because I just feel the worst, heaviest sinking feeling in my chest that makes me physically ill whenever I try to write or draw now.

And I'm... really not sure what to do about it.

Writing in particular used to be my biggest comfort hobby with art as a close second; now I just feel so lost in my free time. Whenever I try to think about doing either of them, at best, my mind just draws a complete blank and I just, completely stop functioning until I give up and do something else.

I'm open to advice on how I might be able to approach them from a different angle to get past that mental block, but in the meantime... well!

I wish everyone the best and hope that everyone else is doing as well as you can. QuQ Fingers crossed that I can make some progress on my own end soon!

Open Again for Commissions!

Howdy again! I'm opening myself up to some casual commissions to complete for fun and to help pay for things here and there as I save to go back to school! I'm most interested in working in my painted style ( vvv ) more, but I still have my chibi style available for those who might be interested in that instead!

If you have any questions, feel free to send me an email ([email protected]) or an ask!

Happy New Year to everyone!

Thank you to everyone who's stuck through with me the past few years! I know I've been struggling a great deal with drawing and drawing consistently, so I appreciate everyone's continued support! I'm debating reopening commissions somewhere around late-April for fun! (I'm hoping just for fun -- fingers crossed that I'll have a stable job from then on and never have to worry about drawing to live!)

That'll be something I decide when I get there because I want to take the next few/several months to learn how to enjoy drawing again. ˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶

Hoping to have more art to post from now on, work permitting!

[teasidesketches]

Been having a little bit of a rough time, but I'm finally trying to get myself back into drawing after all these months... I've had to change how I color because I got a new computer and don't have all my old brushes, but I decided to try something a little different + do a painting!

The character in question is a revamp of an oooold OC, who I've made a kitsune / Ninetales now!

[teasidesketches]

I haven't been able to do any art really because of environmental circumstances, but, I wanted to give a little update of the progress I had made on some of these RF4 chibis!

[teasidesketches]

I'm trying to improve my heads and faces, so I did a bunch of studies from photo references! I feel like I learned some things from these studies, so I'm looking forward to working on some new pieces to see the impact!
