March 2020 Fan Art Poll & OC Sketch Poll RESULTS (& smol talk)
Added 2020-03-21 00:54:41 +0000 UTC
After a long and stressful time trying to get the fan art poll for this month sorted, we finally have both winners of the month!~ I'll be drawing Hestia and Franky66's Lauren in the near future~
-------
Now for a lil chitchat y'all...
I'm sorry for a lack of updates and anything throughout this past week :/ I'm not gonna lie, I'm feeling pretty burnt out right now. The Kaguya-sama comic pages took a lot out of me, getting these other big projects worked on is taking a lot out of me, my sleep schedule is really messed up, and some things are happening irl that aren't great for me mentally = ~ = But I'm trying to push myself through as much as I can cuz I know I still have lots to try to accomplish before the month ends.
I think that's my biggest problem rn: I'm overwhelming myself with so many big projects at the same time that I'm starting to collapse under the weight of it all. I think next month, I really need to reevaluate my workload and schedule to better get these things done asap but without killing myself...
But I also wanted to thank everyone who's been really supportive and encouraging me to take breaks and such too~ All of your words are heeded and appreciated, I just get this feeling lately that I'm always letting someone down if I'm not working on anything at the moment, especially if I haven't posted anything in a while. This is why I often don't like taking breaks. I always think 'why am I doing X right now when I could be working on this draw for everyone instead?' I especially feel that way for Honorary Omnivoyant, who haven't gotten a new pic pack update in quite a while :/
But speaking of which, I've currently got the sketches for Adelaide's pic pack scenario getting close to ready to post, as well as a draw from this month's suggestion thread and another for later~ But I also planned to make good progress on OmniV story stuff next week too. We're currently 16 parts in and we're only about halfway through the chapter X0 I really want these done as soon as possible... Plus the new gril I alluded to on twitter a while ago uwa
Also, I'm gonna start the scenario poll for Erina Nakiri's bonus comic page on Sunday or Monday, so keep an eye out for that too~
Anyways, sorry for the bummer of a post here everyone :/ Especially alongside the announcement of the month's poll winners... I usually try to avoid posting bummer stuff like this, but I thought it was important to give y'all an update on what's going on at least~ And I know it's pretty minor, but I'm also pretty bummed that my copy of Animal Crossing got delayed cuz of crappy weather in my state :/ so I may not get to play it over the weekend. That's another reason I was pushing myself so hard this week was so I could reward myself and relax a bit over the weekend with AC...
But since that won't be happening and I don't have anything better to do, I'm gonna try to get back to these projects~ Maybe I'll play some AC next month~
Sorry again, y'all Dx
See ya soon~

2020-03-23 16:26:03 +0000 UTCWhat did I tell ya literally not long ago?! TAKE IT SLOW and DON'T GET BURNT OUT!!! I notice how much effort you put into all this, and I said it then. So I say it now. Don't get burnt out!!! Take one, two, three months off! However long it takes! Take time off! Do you still like doing this? Does this still make you happy?! If not, then move on! We get it, do what works for you! That's why we support you, duh you dork! As long as I see that little Magnolia winking face in the bottom right of the next Disney/Pixar flick, I'll be happy~

2020-03-23 07:40:28 +0000 UTCAww Mag don't say things like someone's gonna chase you for not posting or drawing something because you're doing something else... you got a life. :c I'm not an Honorary Omnivoaynt because of the rewards they get, but because I wanna support you with the highest tier there is. Take a break once a while. We love you and don't want you killing your whole energy and fun-o-meter because you'd feel guilty if you didn't. We'd feel bad if you didn't take a break and forced yourself to work so PLEASE take a break for goodness sake! Whether or not we get content doesn't freaking matter. What matters is that YOU get your gosh darn sleep! ;3

2020-03-23 03:14:00 +0000 UTCJust like what everyone here is saying, you need to take care of yourself both physically and mentally. Your health is the most important thing, especially now more than ever with everything going on with the virus, so be sure to take good care of yourself. And thank you as well for sharing these things with us, it shows us how much trust you have in us to tell us how you are feeling.

2020-03-22 00:17:58 +0000 UTCTake a break, no one’s gonna bash you for it. (At least I hope no one will) What I said on your last update post will stay the same. Every fire takes time to restart, cuz you need to restock the firewood to redo a proper fire anyways ✌️

2020-03-21 17:20:16 +0000 UTCA lot of people have already said it, but I will throw my two cents into the hat as well: take a break, Mags. We all adore you and your art, as evident by the wave of love and praise that comes whenever you upload something new. That said, your life is still your life, and if you make yourself exhausted and/or miserable doing something you love, then you are doing it too much. So, take a break. Go for a walk, watch TV, play a video game (even if it's not Animal Crossing--sorry to hear about the delay! That really sucks). We will be patient, and we'll be happy to see you return, but only if it's the Magnolia that's happy and not burnt out. If you're still weary of all this, then give yourself a bit more time. As for your schedule, I have to agree with Shiv and say that I was wondering how you were going to have the time to pull off everything you were saying. And again, while we all love your art, we would also much prefer that it didn't come at the cost of your happiness or sanity. So maybe reducing the monthly schedule a bit would help you reach that healthy balance. If necessary, you could do an alternating-month system (so OC poll one month, fanart poll the next, etc.) or something similar to help you pace things better to your liking. I'll finish off this novel by saying this: you're wonderful, Mags, and we all worry and care about you. Take care of yourself, eat something yummy, and dive back into your art when you're ready for it. Hope you feel better! --Mask

2020-03-21 17:14:31 +0000 UTCMagnolia...if your routine, work, and schedule are taking that large of a toll on your wellbeing...I think I speak for everyone here when I say please please please take a break. You come first Mag, the art you create should never be priority over your wellbeing, it’s sad to see you so exhausted. You are disappointing no-one and I would say you’re even spoiling us with the sheer frequency of your art and dedication to it. But I need to give some tough love...the only person you’re going to disappoint or hurt is yourself if you keep going so fast! I care about your wellness...your supporters care about your wellness! Please put the art on the back burner for at least a bit and take some time to love and appreciate yourself! I wish you all the best Maggie, please don’t let your own expectations and deadlines hurt you...stay safe and stay happy, Sincerely Imota.

2020-03-21 06:42:15 +0000 UTCHey, don’t stress over this too much Maggie. For whenever you do post something on here, it is worth the wait. Secondly, the level of interaction that you try to do for everyone on here is honestly quite impressive, not sure how you do it at times. I feel like this was said it the past by a certain someone, but you do treat each comment like it’s from your only viewer, with all the quirkiness and doofiness. It’s heart-warming. ヽ(・∀・)ﾉ That’s a level of communication I don’t see too often. Plus, don’t feel to bad about making a post about this, let us know how you feel at times. It is better to have some idea about how you are feeling about all this, it is healthy thing to emphasis your problems. Just make sure that you please, look after yourself. It’s fine to have time to reflect over. We appreciate from what you do but please maintain your health and get plenty of the sleeps, I know how bad a sleep schedule can get, especially when you want/need stuff done. The headache… (nope, nope, nope…) (We’re watching you, little doofie duck) Σ(￣。￣ノ)ノ P.S: :/ Delays on Animal Crossing? ☹

2020-03-21 04:48:21 +0000 UTCYou really are something, Maggie. Literally, I've seen NO ONE work as hard as you have on this platform. Always striving to provide for the highest level of quality and putting us before your own needs. Totally get the whole not wanting to take a break and it's obviously because you care. From day one that I've met you, you've always been super kind and passionate. You customize replies for those that comment on your work and you do it with a smile. Even now, you never show your frustration or stress. I can't even fathom that many notes and responses. O(∩_∩)O You even told me that it was because you felt you want to say thank you for the person who took the time to express appreciation. That takes a VERY special kind of person. \(@^0^@)/ I don't feel like an Honorary Ominvoyant because I pay for the tier. I feel like one because of you and this amazing community that you've helped build. `(*>﹏<*)′ Thank you for all your selflessness and sacrifices. I speak for everyone when I say go rest and we look forward to seeing more from you in the future. (￣o￣) . z Z

2020-03-21 03:14:33 +0000 UTCYour health is way more important to us. When I first read your scheduling per month, I was actually wondering how the hell you were going to accomplish all of it. If reducing it helps you, you should absolutely do it. We love you Mag <3
