Life & Content update

Added 2025-07-24 17:26:33 +0000 UTC

Howdy all, I hope everyone is doing okay.

Firstly, I want to take the time to thank each-and-every one of you for sticking by whilst I may not have posted much content this month. The past couple of months have been a huge struggle for me, and I have contemplated a lot of different scenarios and pathways I could have taken. But you all have stuck by me, helping me through it all with kind comments, personal messages, and even taking some commissions when I found out the news last week.

So, thank you, thank you all, so very much. Without you all, I wouldn't know if I could continue with this path.

A quick update. So, a lot is happening still, not out of the woods yet, I'm afraid, but the train is slowly departing from this stop and onto new horizons.
- My family member's funeral will be held soon, so final goodbyes can be said, and I can finally start to move past this loss.
- My move into the new residence is within the next 2 weeks, and whilst it will be busy, I can finally sort out the moving stress and start the next chapter in a bigger space.
- I am still applying for a new job, and I won't lie, moving to a new flat and not having a job lined up is adding so much stress onto my shoulders, but sometimes you just have to hold on to the little ray of sunshine and believe that everything will fall into place.

Moving on to content, I'm not going to lie to anyone, I haven't been doing much, my head and heart just haven't been in it with the above going on. But I am getting back to it! Finished a couple of commissions from the latest batch, plus 4 pages into the 3rd chapter of my OCs' Commission series.
Slowly getting round to work on the fourth ZZZ page; however, that is a little on the back burner for now, I'm afraid. But, I will have stuff to post soon, I promise! Just trying to give myself a little bit of breathing room before the move.

But, yeah. A rather lengthy update, sorry about that. But I just wanted to be as transparent as I could for you all.

Thanks again, everyone, stay safe out there!
