Hello, people! Uh, happy new year?

I haven't really been active here for

months now, only been "lurking" and

leaving comments and favoriting stuff,

because for me, last year up until now

has been very rough and I'm still trying

to process the fact that it's 2025 now.

I'm barely beginning to feel like my year

is finally starting, so I can't really say I

am ready to make, like, a "comeback",

but for now, have my Summary of Art

and Art vs Artist!!!

2024 was a year where I didn't draw a

lot, but I think I managed to vary a bit in

the subjects I drew. I even did some OC

art and a bit of experimentation, but still;

November's drawing is left unfinished and

I don't even think I'll ever finish it anytime

soon. 2024 is also the year I retire from

art. I genuinely no longer feel like I enjoy

the process of making art, plus, the art

scholars and purists bullied me off IG and

I'm not even getting paid to draw, so, I don't

see any reason for me to stay and "keep it

up".

This is my Art VS Artist. Pretty much more of

the same; as I said, I didn't draw a lot last year.

I finally managed to come out publicly as gender-

fluid, so that's pretty much helped a lot with my

self-esteem. I decided to move on to do cosplay,

since that makes me happier than sitting here

and getting free arthritis. So yeah, all in all, I feel

very dissatisfied with how I had decided to "end"

the year (it's not like I'm "ending my art career",

whatever that means), but I hope that I can start

to focus more on myself and actually have fun

doing creative work. I'll try to post more life updates

and cosplay photos whenever I see possible,

and I will continue drawing and posting artworks

if I feel like it. I just won't be as enthusiastic about

it as I always used to be.

Anyway, I hope y'all had a nice New Year and are

doing A-OK, I'll be seeing ya!
