Even after going part time it's been still rough keeping up a work, life, and art balance, so..

I've decided to quit my job starting January! Officially I started making juuuust enough because of you all to support me full time with fanbox and Subscribestar!

I honestly don't know how far I can push things but I promise to try, this is something I really want and I can't imagine doing anything else with my life.

If I need to get another job one day it's not the end of the world we worst case scenario we go right back to where we are now.

Lately I've been a little unhappy with how Ive been doing my pics because I've been having to make too many choices between practice, actual pics, pictures with good dialogue, and I dont want to have to choose which qualities to focus on. When I'm burnt out its REALLY hard to think of dialogue because I'm not horny when im blah.

When i write my ATM dialogues I like to touch myself and type the first things the come to my head, the things I really WANT to say to you if I was speaking directly to you. It makes me happy and it makes me happy seeing you all get off to it. I dont want to be in a position where I can't do that sometimes because I need to practice actual art.

I want to try harder for us all, for you guys and for me.

My job has gotten so terrible btw. They reduced raises to once a year and are looking over people with a maginifying glass to make sure they dont get their raises. If you get "Slightly below average" on more than 2 catagories youre fucked for an entire year, no raise. Guess who didnt squeek by! So no raise for me. Not only that but they are trying to get me to quit because Im focusing more on life and art and not being on call 24/7 for a damn Deli so they "Lost" 90 hours of my paid time off that I earned, I brought it up and they went "Lol whoopsie, well we dont see it so you lost it... btw you used PTO this year for being sick and you dont have any so you owe us 200$ and if you dont pay it back you owe taxes and we just noticed that now, funny coincidence!"

So.. Im so furious that I went full circle into being serene with rage. Im going to figure out how to get health insurance for next year and I.. am.. gone. Done with that place, terrible place to work.

ANYWAYS, lol, I have an opportunity to do something really fun and focus on art for the time being until AI takes over and I hope I can make something you all enjoy!

Ill be doing more dialogue stuff this month as well. I know Im backclogged on a few other ones from last month and Im suuuuuper sorry. Ive been getting inspiration for Marrin so much and ive been wanting to draw them before I lose it <3 I hope you forgive me.

I want to try doing more manga formatting so I can attract maybe a spot in Komiket next year If I can speed up my stuff enough. Probably not but if I atleast submit my stuff I can be on their radar for next next year.

Anyways, good stuff coming your way hopefully! If you have any suggestions for me, have any good advice for insurance hunting for someone self employeed, or just want to say hi, please do so! Send me a pixiv DM or a DM on discord at someotherchick!

Love ya all! <3 Working hard together and thank you so much for the opportunities. Dont feel pressured to stay and support me if you cant or if im not to your liking, I know artists change and I know finances change, I just hope I can be good enough to earn a spot in your art... people lol
