Hey guys! It's been a while since I've posted a bit of an update on here. But I just wanted to let y'all know I won't be here posting anything or being really active over the Christmas/New Year period. We're moving interstate, and we leave on the 26th, and since we're driving there, it will take us 2-3 days to get there, plus moving everything in and such. Because this is all happening so soon, and I've been so busy lately with house things and catching up with family here, I just haven't had enough time to do Christmas gift art. I've started doing them a couple days ago, but I have so many friends to draw for, I just won't have anything done before then, since I have to pack away my desktop computer, which I use to draw on.
Which means sadly, I'll have to finish the and post them after the New Year, in early January. Christmas has been awful so far with us, so many people to buy gifts for, and not enough money :( We're almost flat broke because of moving, and I really, really can't wait until it's over.

But besides that, I'm so excited to move! I've lived in Victoria all my life, and FINALLY moving out of this damn place to Queensland, a state I've always loved. This has honestly been an awful year; past two years actually, and things are finally starting to move forward for us. I'm so happy and excited for a fresh start :)

As for art plans next year, I must say, 2015 has been the worst year by far with art. I really haven't posted much, and haven't really finished any full pieces. I've done barely any personal art and projects for myself, and I miss drawing my characters and bringing their stories to life. This year I've been so down and lacking in motivation and inspiration to draw, I was almost on the verge of giving up for a while. Personally, I could never quit art, and I'm glad I pushed through possibly the worst art block EVER. I grew to hate almost everything I drew. I don't like my art style, I'm frustrated with my methods, and I'm disappointed in my skill level. I think I've come to realize that maybe I need a fresh start with art as well. Work on more of a solid style (rather than just kind of 'winging it' and seeing how the style comes out), practice and study more on my weak points (anatomy, expressions, backgrounds, textures etc.), and just overall sketch and sketch. I think I just need to put the mileage on the pencil (or digital pen lmao) and just get that practice in. I think I need to just sketch things out and not focus too hard on trying to perfect it.
Hopefully things will turn out better. I plan on doing more personal art, actually STARTING projects, like a comic, and taking a lot more commissions. I look forward to sharing new art in the new year <3

I think that's pretty much everything for now. If any of you need to contact me, just shoot me a note on here (I can still check them on my phone) or send me a message on Skype or Facebook if you have me on there.

I hope you guys have a great Christmas and a wonderful New Year! <333333333
