Looking back on 2020 👀
Added 2020-12-28 17:10:49 +0000 UTCHi my lovely peeps! 💖💕
The massive wild fires, the Black Lives Matter movement, all the dumb trump drama and US election, the start of the worldwide Covid 19 pandemic and so on and so on - 2020 has been a turbulent year for sure! 😣
Because of Covid-19 alone this year has been pretty shitty for most people and of course it affected my life as well. However I feel like on a very personal scale there have been a lot of good stuff happening in my life as well.
For example I'm very happy about our discord server! It's not super active all the time, but it's a lot of fun to talk about Anime, Games etc over there ☺️
Oh and I did my very first art trades this year! With Foxy Kuro, Lyeric and Tinnies/Evie! I usually don't have the guts to ask for any kind of collab, but it just brings so much happiness! Focusing on my OC Suco for the whole month of July and also receiving so many fan works of her later in the little contest has been pure heart-balm! The special months for summer, Halloween and Christmas have turned out great as well!
I've also been able to grow my Twitter, Instagram and Patreon a lot. I've had about half the followers on Twitter at the end of 2019! Wow! And after my Instagram got deleted in 2019 and beeing frustrated about it for months, I was able to grow a nice new followerbase again this year! And we went from about ~140 to ~240 patrons! OMG! Huge thanks to everyone following and supporting me and helping me to accomplish this!❤️👏
Despite the growth I haven't been able to fully compensate the lost source of income from parting ways with that shitty company earlier this year, but I'm still happy about that, because a) I really wasn't happy working with them anymore and b) it kinda helped me getting more into doing commissions again. But that's actually more thanks to Ruby and all the Tier 'C' supporters! Thaaaaankies!❤️
There has also been a lot of thinking this year - especially the past weeks - about things I want to do less often, more often or try out for the first time in the future! I already mentioned the daily drawings were fun on one side, but also very stressful on the other side, so it isn't something I could do always. I would probably burn out after a very short time, hehe... Daily specials like that will happen very rarely and I'll keep focusing on the usual amount of content for the most part. However I think about tweaking something here and there in 2021, but more on that in the next post - a lookout on 2021! This one is already a little wall of text, hehe! 😬
Just wanna leave a huge thank you again! You won't believe how much I appreciate your support - especially in a time like this - no matter how small or big, every little bit counts! You're making it possible that I can spend so much time with drawing! Thaaaank you from the bottom of my heart for liking, sharing, commenting on and supporting my working! 🙏❤️
And please tell me about your view on the year 2020! About the bad stuff, but especially the good stuff!
Love you all~

Uhh, that's tough! And it's something I see with friends as well, they either get to work a lot less or lose their jobs. And in times like this it's hard to get a new one... glad to hear France has a social system like that as well! Let's hope at least some traveling will be possible again in 2021. And thanks a lot for your super kind words, I'm very glad you enjoyed the drawings so much! ☺️❤️ Glory to Oppai!

2020-12-31 14:42:05 +0000 UTCwe will start with the bad news, I have been unemployed since July and fortunately when France there is a lot of social assistance which allows me to not have (for the moment money worries). because of the covid i was not able to visit germany or other region of france, for me who is a history lover (and oppai) it frustrates me a lot not being able to travel freely or i want, because it's the first time in my life that a disease scares me let's get to the good news, I had the chance to be part of tier C for 3 months and it was a pure pleasure to discuss with you on the commissions, you are for me the best artist that I have seen. Christmas did me a lot of good because for the time of an evening there was no laughter and happiness, all the misfortunes in the world had disappeared and it is very good for morale I hope the year 2021 will not be worse than 2020 in all thanks thank you very much Sevie your designs are magnificent and bring joy in his troubled times long life to Sevie, long life for oppai PS: I hope that google translate will not make too much of a mistake

2020-12-29 03:16:04 +0000 UTCOh, I'm glad it doesn’t bother you too much, but that's still sad to hear. I'm sorry! And I hope next year will get more relaxed again in regards of your workplace, too much stress can be a poison x_x I also hope you can find a way to help your friends! It's always great to see how people stick together during the pandemic! Ganbatte!

2020-12-28 21:05:26 +0000 UTCThankfully my year hasn't been too bad relatively speaking. The closest person to me to die from Covid was my grandfather's brother, who I was only vaguely acquainted with. Also my work actually never shut down completely, as we just shifted our business to purely drive thru only, (fast food chain) so I never got laid off or such; it has made the work a bit more stressful though, so it wasn't all good. Especially lately because a place next to us got some of their workers sick with Covid and are closing early in the afternoons now without all their employees available, making us busier as a result. My main worries as of late are about some of my close friends who are having worse times of it; thankfully not in terms of anyone getting sick, but they're struggling financially. I want to be able to help them out more, but they live in another state which complicates things. =( Patreon rewards and other online purchases like realizing I can get movies on Youtube instead of going to the theater have been among the highlights of the year for me. So, thanks again for all of your work here and I hope 2021 is better for you and everyone!
