Anxiety kept me at a stalemate for so long. It told me nobody would want to pledge, that I couldn't offer any substantial rewards, that I wouldn't be able to keep up with it.


But, see here...I've decided to live my life with more abandon and whimsy. Throw caution to the wind and see what happens. Try to earn an income to rival that of a supermarket clerk. Bold of me, I know.


So here I am, now the proud owner of a Patreon of my very own. You are cordially invited to come find me there and pledge. We could all sit around and wear fancy masks and sip decadent liqueurs by candlelight. I mean...that could happen, right?

My zodiac series is finally finished. I'm not sure how I feel about it now. It certainly didn't turn out the way I wanted. I mean, it looks okay, but before I even started, I promised myself that I wouldn't follow the "traditional" colours for each sign. What did I end up doing? Exactly that. Well, pretty much. So they're not really as unique as I wanted them to be. Something else that bothers me about them is the inconsistency in style. I kind of changed the style I was working in about halfway through, so they're all slightly different. Ugh, that kind of thing just makes me cringe. EVERYTHING MUST BE MATCHY-MATCHY. There are a few I would definitely redo (Taurus and Gemini come to mind), but for now, I'm done. Let me know if you have any ideas for future series. I haven't nailed down the next one yet.

I haven't really written anything in a while so I thought I'd drop in and catch up

In case you aren't aware, and I wouldn't blame you if you weren't because I am very lazy about promoting myself and rarely talk about things like this BUT I am a part of 78 Tarot for the third year in a row. My first was Astral (space themed), second Mythical (mythology themed) and the third one is still a secret but it's what I'm working on right now. I'll upload the card I did for Mythical eventually. Eventually.

I've got some other things planned, but I'm notorious for almost never following through on projects. Part of what made Amethyst Eyes so remarkable was the fact that I actually finished it. But right now I have 3 projects that I'm going to *try* to do. One is fairly easy, since a lot of the hardest parts are already done, it's just a matter of getting my ass in gear. The second will be a little harder and take a little longer, and I still have some factors to check on that will determine whether I can even do it. The third is going to be really challenging for me because it will require me to be something other than numb and cynical. I like keeping secrets

But yeah SPEAKING OF AMETHYST EYES, those of you who are fans of those characters might be wondering why I don't paint them anymore. well. Firstly I would ask if you know about my other account which I have moved all of my AE stuff over to. But you still might be asking that question even if you do already know about that account because I really don't paint them much anymore. The truth is, I feel like I've sort of grown out of them now. They don't resonate with me like they used to. They're from a different period of my life that I've moved on from.

It's not that I don't still love them. I will always love my characters. But they've said everything they needed to say. They don't really inspire me anymore. Some of the themes they're related to do, but not the characters themselves.

So I'm sorry if that disappoints anybody, since I know I have a lot of watchers/fans who especially like Az and Fae. I do have a couple of different characters that I've come up with recently that I play around with and paint sometimes, but only one has a name and they don't really have much of a story behind them yet and I have this weird anxiety about trying to give them one because I'm afraid of committing myself to the wrong idea. α΄€Ι΄xΙͺᴇᴛʏ ᴄᴏɴsα΄œα΄α΄‡s ᴍᴇ α΄€ΚŸα΄‘α΄€Κs

So uh, other than that, yeah... been busy watching makeup videos on youtube, playing games I've already played like a bajillion times and getting angry about politics and that's pretty much how I live my life

Hi guys,

Sorry I haven't been around much this year. I've been kind of stressed out this year for various reasons. I sometimes feel as if I blame stress and anxiety for any time I slip up or offer a lacking performance, but it does play a large part in how I function, unfortunately.

I'll be traveling overseas in a few days to the USA to visit family and friends (this trip being one of my largest sources of anxiety, because...reasons), but after that I hope to get back to drawing a lot more.

Speaking of my post-trip plans, I really don't know what kind of goals I have, artwise. I never do. I set some, just arbitrarily, for the sake of having some, but then I forget about them because I don't care about them all that much. I've started planning a tarot deck, an art book, and have even considered a coloring book, but I find I just don't care about them all that much. Back when I was still working on Amethyst Eyes, it was like a burning need to do it, whereas these other projects just seem like meaningless 'busy work'. So, I'm not really sure where I'm headed with my art. Only to improve in the areas I want to, I guess.

Those of your who have been around for a while will know how I've struggled with art block over the years. Yes, it's still a problem for me. BUT. The way I've currently been dealing with it goes like this: I just start drawing something, anything. Usually a face. Then, I just spread out from there.  I draw different objects related to a theme, or just things that look nice. And I keep going until I've got a satisfactory composition. It doesn't always work out, but at least it keeps me drawing. I've always heard that paintings must be planned out first, properly researched, but...man, that just hasn't been working out for me. Drawing spontaneously, while "unorthodox", has been serving me better.

Anyway, I hope you all have a great December and a happy new year. I hope that 2018 holds great things for us all. :heart:
