General Update.
Added 2023-10-03 12:25:38 +0000 UTCHi everyone,
Sorry you haven’t heard much from me these past couple months.
I had the opportunity to move in with my partner and one of my best friends back in June. Due to a number of factors, (including having to pay 6 months rent upfront 💀) it was an incredibly stressful time with a few full blown autistic meltdowns, and it's only basically now that things are officially confirmed and we are moved in and settling in and I’m completely exhausted. I’ve been spending a lot of time trying to let myself stabilise.
I have pretty severe ADHD and autism. I don’t like to talk about it too much here, mostly because I like a separation between this stuff I do and my own personal life, and for the most part I’ve learned a lot of coping strategies for working on art. This is kind of the dream job for me and I’m normally capable of hyperfocusing on it for hours at a time. However for the past few months it has been a real struggle balancing artwork, managing this account, my day job and moving house. Often, when it comes to posting anything I can get really anxious and the longer I wait the worse it gets.
With that said, now that I’ve actually moved in I’m actually doing a lot better! The place we’ve moved is right next to the underground and bus station and I’m getting to do a lot of socialising and meeting friends I haven’t seen in a while. Being able to finally have my own space with my partner is so exciting and liberating and everything I've hoped for.
Now that I feel more capable of thinking and planning ahead, I want to give all of you an idea of what my plans are for October and going forward:
- I still have a few commissions lined up that I will be working through this month, and I still have some completed ones I need to post.
- The monthly Patreon animation is very close to being finished. I wasn’t able to finish before having to go to my parents for a few days but I am now back as of today and will be finishing it off.
- Mushrooms and Magic will be resuming this month. Everyone who has signed up to the cameo tier will be getting a cameo in the next pages. If you have signed up to the cameo tier but have yet to send me a ref, please DM to do so. If you had previously signed up but have since moved to a lower tier you will also get a slot, so let me know.
- I’m hoping to produce another Halloween YCH, and will be getting patrons to vote on the subject.
- I will be posting several more Patreon exclusive pieces as well as non-commissioned sketches you’ll get to see early.
Thank you so much to everyone who has stuck around. It means the world to me that you feel like my art is worth your support. Thank you all so much, and have an amazing October xxx
