Monthly Update - September!

Added 2025-10-01 13:00:24 +0000 UTC

September! My second month of Blender training and also my most hectic month yet, thanks to my real-life job.

My IRL Job has been eating up an extraordinary amount of my time these past few months, and it’s been soul-sucking to say the least. At times, I'm surprised I'm able to output as much content as I manage to while juggling everything, but this month really tested me and made me reflect.

At this point, I see myself as more of a 'variety artist'. Between renders, comics like Diminishing Devil, animations, cosplays, and the current Blender training arc; I’ve got so many projects I take great joy in, but find myself strapped for time to complete them all done. After a long day of report writing and workplace politics, sometimes all I want to do is KO. So I’ve come to accept that I can’t do everything at once, and to this effort, I’ll be running a content calibration poll soon to focus on what you all want to see most.

I’ve been contemplating resigning from my job to pursue content creation full-time, but I don't think I'm at the point yet where I can fully sustain myself through art alone. I’m also saving for some big things, like a new PC at the end of the year to upgrade my Blender rendering, so for now I’ll have to keep grinding both sides. That said, my long-term goal is definitely to make art my main career and bring all my ideas to life and I do hope it isn't a pipedream.

But above all, it’s this community and your constant support that keeps me going when things get tough. I’ll keep pushing forward and doing my best to keep you all H & H🍆💖
