Moving Update

Hey guys! The time has finally come to start my moving process!

TLDR:

• I will be unavailable for work from October 1st through.. maybe the 20th realistically?
  

• Etsy shop will remain open, but shipping/processing time will increase to 1-3 weeks instead of the normal 1-3 days
  

• Personal blabbing about my feelings on my work this year and how I want to improve

Unfortunately the timeline is stretched out over most of October since we have to allow time for Purple's stuff to ship down from MI, but I'll be flying up this Wed to go help him pack up the pod before driving back south together. We have about a week to kill and pack my stuff in between then, and when we can actually gain access to our apartment on the 14th. I'm SUPER excited to finally be getting all this done, and for us to have this new place together!

Though I am very frustrated that it seems every October I am busy with something irl that keeps me from doing a lot of fun Halloween projects xD

I reaaaallly wanted to try and make some fanart or another YCH, I suppose I still could even if its a bit late, but let me know if that's something y'all might still enjoy ❤️

I've been whittling down the queue of commissions owed, and those will keep coming as my main priority after we get settled of course ❤️

Personally I've been pretty... dissappointed? and looking to improve my style or quality recently, feels like I'm lacking a lot of direction and connection with my work. It's been hard to find a style that is both easy to produce and that I myself am satisfied with, because my brain seems to always think its missing something, or I could make it better. It feels a lot like "feature creep" in game production lol. I had a workflow down pretty good last year for my "sketch" commissions, and I was able to get them done pretty quickly, while this year I've been struggling to have the same efficiency. Though I'm also trying not to beat myself up too much, as there's other contributing factors and big changes that happened in my life. My self esteem has not been great this year, and I want to find ways to build that back up. I want to sit down and rethink my personal connection and what I want for my work too, more than just "its my job" or the reasons I do it for others.

I appreciate you guys sticking with me and allowing me to take the time I need to experiment and produce quality work though, it means a lot. I want to do so much better, and I think after the move things will only improve. I'll be back soon! Enjoy your spooky month 😋
