An Apology To Everyone
I would like to apologize to all the people that have started following me over the last few years just for me to not post anything for years. :T
I'm still around! I come in and check my inbox every day.
I just.... don't post content anymore...
It's not for lack of desire to make content! I really miss making art. I just haven't been able to.
Life's a bitch like that. :/
YOOO! SO!!
Been one hell of a year, huh? ......huh? ......yeah? :D
Yeah, it’s been rough on all of us, that goes without saying, so let’s just nod in agreement and move on.
I’ve been ruminating a lot over the last couple of years amidst all the life changes and stressful happenings while simultaneously attempting to recover from a savage case of art burnout. I think I’m finally finally FINALLY on my way out of that, but I haven’t quite made it out yet.
IN THE MEANTIME, I’ve begun a new activity which I’m hoping will become a regular thing I do once a week: (or more if I feel extra ambitious)
I’m streaming on Twitch now! Yay!
It’s not art streams just yet. As I just said, I haven’t QUITE yet gotten out of my burnout.... even though it’s been two years.... BUT I’M WORKING ON IT! Slowly, but surely. I really want to get back to doing art again, and I feel like I’m getting close to being able to do that, but NOT QUITE YET.
Nah, for now all I’m doing is game streams. Currently I’m doing a series of randomizer Nuzlockes, starting from gen 1 and working my way up to gen 7. I’ve done 1 episode already so far, and boy howdy it’s already pretty gritty. (mostly cuz I’ve forgotten how brutal gen 1 can be even WITHOUT putting a self-imposed challenge onto it) lol i’ve gotten used to the piss-easy later gens
I don’t know if I’ll pick up much of an audience cuz the only time I can stream is on weekday mornings when everyone else is either at work/school or asleep. :T
BUT WHATEVER, I’M DOING IT ANYWAY! Mostly cuz I just think it’ll be fun. :3
Right I’m trying out streaming on Wednesdays, cuz that’s my least busy day. Going from about 9:30am ‘Murican East Coast Time to whenever I feel like stopping, probably around 1:30pm.
Whatever, we’ll see how this works out.
I’ll be continuing this Nuzlocke Adventure tomorrow at about that time.
Ok wow.
I think mostly I’ve been hesitant to post anything else about my life because it’s mostly not good stuff, and who wants to read me complaining about my life all the time?
Still, I feel I should at least post something so whoever’s watching can know I’m still around and still… active I guess? I’m not sure that’s the right word for it, seeing as I haven’t posted any art in… what… two years?
In need of suggestions...
So I’ve been slowly forcing myself to get back into drawing, cuz I’ve got stuff I need to get done, but my hand has decided that I can’t draw for more than a few minutes at a time without it starting to complain. And I fear that if I ignore it and just continue drawing, It’ll start to cause injury. Which I really don’t want.
However, I’ve found that if I elevate my tablet a little bit, tilted up a little, my hand seems to like that better. So in other words, my hand has decided that it hates having my tablet lying flat on my desk, which is how I’ve been drawing for almost two decades. :T
Problem is I don’t have a way to comfortably KEEP it elevated and have it be steady enough to draw for any length of time.
I’ve tried putting a small pouch full of padding under my tablet, but it moves around too much.
I don’t really have a lot in the way of frontward desk space, so any suggestions for what I can place under my tablet to keep it tilted up, but also steady, would be helpful.
OK SO..... Life Stuff!!
It's another long one. Short version is I'm in my new house now, finally! Yay!
