@merynia:
Thanks!! SHe's doing a lot better now :D
She's been super happy, but that also means she's been extremely crazy and hyper too lmao I love her to bits

@totalanimefan:
Yeah hopefully! I get overwhelmed pretty easily lately so we'll see where I'm at by then :D
Things are gradually getting better and more stable (sort of--I did just end up with extra hours at work starting yesterday when a coworker walked out on the job sdkjfh) so I feel like I'm able to relax a bit more and draw things properly <3

Last week I managed to finish two arts in one day and I was like daaaaaaaang I'm comin back XD

@ruby:
Ah, yeah that makes sense! It can be a lot of pressure, especially when you talk to the community sometimes. Its meant to be a lowkey art gifting game where you aren't obligated to draw anything, but some do put a lot of pressure to draw back or "revenge" and stuff so >> I get intimidated sometimes too.
tbh this year's season was kinda lame compared to normal. I think life has everyone so stressed as a default, that everyone got massive burnout very quickly from drawing o:

OH MY
I NEED GHOST

@totalanimefan:
i have 53 cause i forgot to come back :,,,,,,D
200 work hours later here i am again, recalling my desire for these sunflowers lmaoo

@kda drew:
well now that you say that, I wanna see the other attempts xD
but i love how it turned out ♡♡ we're always learning and improving as artists

@sunny:
That sounds really cool <33 how does it work with the writing? Are you given a prompt or something? O:

@totalanimefan:
Thank you! Yeah I think I've heard about that one before, but hadn't joined it.
Could be fun if its active this winter <3

@ruby:
Thank you <3
Do you by chance go on artfight? (I feel like I've asked before, but I've been gone so long i forget!) thats a big exchange concept that doesnt matter what drawing level you feel you're at--everyone is accepted! It's so much fun to use as a motivation for practice ;v; or in my case, to shake off rust when I dont draw enough.

and yeah I MIGHT end up with one more move. I have an audit style interview with a regional manager to be promoted at my job. If she chooses me over the other 2 candidates, that means I'd be moving to san antonio :> only 2 hours away.

@jessamine:
Traditional art is so satisfying imo <3 its how I started and spent half of my artsy career XD
I didn't go digital until after I was already 20.

@vixen:
Its a ton of fun and the mods are very sweet <3
they take a break for winter this year so if you did join it, you'd still be free for Hachi's :D

that sunflower hat
I must obtain it
;;o;

I can't even remember how I came about this awesome seasonal event, just kinda seemed like the admin Elissinia appeared out of nowhere and welcomed me in. I'm usually quite shy on discord but this one felt oddly... not cliquey! It has been SO NICE participating with them :D

Here are the entries I've done





This next one was part of the "mini" event tier, where you're only required to draw something of about $25 minimum value.
The other two were to be $75 minimum value, so a lot more to them :D


I always love drawing things for others, but with something like this where there's some motivation for it and I dont feel like I have high pressure. Usually theres about a month and a half to the deadline.

https://artexchange.carrd.co/]exchange carrd - I know autumn exchanges will be starting up again soon. I'm debating on taking a break or not, knowing there wont be a winter exchange (they take a break then). But I might end up moving maybe, so..? :vanora_upsidedown:


Anyway-- any of you join exchange/secret santa events kinda like this? OR THIS ONE?
:D

@totalanimefan:
Yesss I'm trying to! I'm always so bad at being consistent online XD
but I like being on here

THANK YOU ALL

@totalanimefan:
I HOPE TOO
but honestly even if I dont, this opportunity had me doing a bit of research on the location and it gives me an idea of where we'd want to try out next! Since we haven't quite found a city that we feel home in yet. Could become the next goal to work toward :D

MAYBE I CAN ACTUALLY
B U Y
A HOUSE ... !!
This raise would be enough if I liked the area

how on earth did i come this close and this far after only a year ago I was living off rice cause i was too poor
;;;;; A;;;

I work in a company that only promotes from within, which is cool, but they require you to move to get promoted. blabla avoid animosity bla bla bla

Anyways there's one 2 hours from here that popped up in my work email today. I tossed my name into the hat, so hopefullyyyyyy
I'll have a phone interview with the regional for that area next week. Maybe I'll win and get this raise!!!

ALL THE GOOD LUCK CHARMS AND PRAYERS ECT

I'm tired of moving but I hate this apartment anyways. smells like tobacco all the time. XD

She issss so tiny! She's 5 months old, vet says she's pretty small for her age so I'm wondering if something had stunted her growth.
She was a stray before the shelter got her. Or she could just be small!

Very noodly too :''''D


@Vii:
Aww yeah I'm always really worried if she'd ever slip outside. But so far she hasn't been very interested.
We have her harness trained (surprisingly easy) and I have a backpack carrier (I hate the tiny plastic crates, this one is less dark and has a cat bed in it!). So its easy getting her out to go places, but currently the outdoors are too scary for her so I dont push it.

Shiva's been sick for a few weeks from something the shelter was treating her for, but chose not to tell us about. So she went a while without treatments until we could get her scheduled at the vets.
More or less a bacterial infection making her sneeze and cough a lot. After a few days of meds, she's doing sooooo much better and back to stabbing us relentlessly :DD

Shiva: Goddess of Destruction


I love this insane child sm
