Life Update: July 2024

Hello everyone! It's been a while, I hope you're doing alright!


For the new followers, welcome, and thank you! For my old followers, my thank you is timed 100. Thank you so much for your continuing support. Without you, I'm nothing.


I apologize for the lack of content over the past few months. Life has been rather chaotic and my health hasn't been at its best, which has significantly impacted my ability to create and share as much as I'd like.


Currently, I'm focusing on completing existing commissions. I have months worth of commissions that I haven't finished yet ^^;. Due to the volume of work, I've had to temporarily close new commission requests.I'm also making gradual progress on my personal projects. In the meantime, I hope you're enjoying the content I've managed to post!


I want to address my difficulty in engaging with messages and comments. Social interaction, even online, continues to be a source of anxiety for me. It's not your fault, it's 100% my issue. Please know that I read all your comments and messages, and I'll reply when I can, even if it takes some time. Your understanding means a great deal to me.


Lately, I've had daily--continuous problems. Missing deadlines, accidentally deleting files, constant drowsiness and headache, and general disorganization have been frustrating experiences. To address these issues, I've started working with a psychiatrist. It's going well, I hope, at least I don't feel anything now, and I am able to stick on the schedule. I also recently underwent surgery, which went well. The stitches were removed last week!


There are two main issues that I'd like to ask for your opinion.

1. There is a lot of projcets that ended up as WIP. That's actually my pet peeve: I lose interest. Most of them are comics, some are generic illustrations. The comics in particular, always ended right before the action :') I was wondering if you'd like to see them--but I'm not sure if I will ever finish them...

2. Some of my post here in the FANBOX, had been taken down. You may or may not realized, but most of my posts (not all) with victims in school uniform, were gone. So, I'm thinking of a) Edit the image to comply with the terms, or b) upload them to somewhere else (but where?)


Lastly, I want to apologize once more for the inconveniences I have caused and express my deepest thanks for your ongoing support. Your patience and understanding during this time have been really invaluable :')


I'm looking forward to sharing the latest commissions and personal with you soon. Thank you for staying around!


Take care, and see you soon!


皆様、こんにちは!お元気でしょうか?新しくフォローしてくださった方々も含め、温かいサポートに心から感謝申し上げます。

ここ数ヶ月、コンテンツの更新が滞り、申し訳ございませんでした。生活が非常に忙しく、体調も優れず、思うように活動できませんでした。皆様にご心配をおかけしてしまい、申し訳ありません。

現在、いただいているコミッションの制作に専念しております。作業量が多いため、新規のコミッション受付は一時停止させていただいております。個人的なコンテンツの制作も少しずつ進めていますので、どうぞお楽しみにお待ちください。これまでに投稿したコンテンツを楽しんでいただけていれば幸いです。

依然として、メッセージやコメントへの返信に苦慮しております。オンライン上でさえ、社会的交流は私にとって大きな不安要素となっています。しかし、皆様からのメッセージやコメントは必ず拝読させていただいております。返信に時間がかかることもありますが、必ず皆様の声に耳を傾けています。ご理解いただけますと幸いです。

最近は、様々な困難に直面しています。仕事がうまく進まなかったり、締め切りを守れなかったり、誤ってファイルを削除してしまったりと、混乱の日々を送っていました。そのため、現在は精神科医のサポートを受けています。また、今月は手術も受けました。幸い、手術は成功し、先週には抜糸も終わりました。これからは徐々に回復し、より良い状態になっていくと信じています。

最後になりましたが、皆様のご支援とご理解に心から感謝申し上げます。ご迷惑をおかけすることも多々あるかと思いますが、今後ともどうぞよろしくお願いいたします。

また近いうちに、新しい作品でお会いできることを楽しみにしています!

Please forgive my delay in responding! Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a thoughtful message—I know that wasn’t easy for you, and I truly appreciate it. I completely relate to the anxiety of rephrasing things over and over, so I want to say an extra big thank you for finally posting it. It would’ve been easier not to, but you’re definitely not a loser for following through! ദ്ദി(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧ I also really appreciate your input on my questions. I’ll keep your suggestions in mind as I move forward! Please take care of yourself, hope you can still enjoy my artworks in the future! ^^

ruby

You're right, thank you so much for the kind words! ( > 〰 < )♡

ruby

Thank you!! ( > 〰 < )♡

ruby

Heeey! Hope you're doing alright too! >< Please take care!

ruby

Thank you so much! :'3

ruby

I like seeing other artists' WIP as well! Though I'm to shy for anyone to see my messy stickmen doodles x'D But thank you so much for your words!

ruby

Oh, for sure, yes! Sometimes I asked another native or fluent friend about certain things to make sure I use proper words x'D can't say something too informal for example, even though the meaning is the same.

ruby

You are back! I was getting worried, because you always talk about how bad your health is. Alles gute and get well soon.

(Post too long, so I am replying to myself like a loser) As for your two questions: 1. I really don''t mind either way, it really depends on whether or not you feel like something is worth sharing in it's current state. It might get annoying for you, if people keep asking you about the state of a project that has been abandoned, though. I have tried my hand at creating as well, and I do think it's 1000 times harder to finish something than to start something, so I have a lot of respect for the amount of stuff you do mange to get over the finish line :D 2. I would prefer uploading those (or all our your) works somewhere else. I am not that familiar with the alternatives, but some of the other creators I follow use either MEGA or Proton Drive (not sure what that looks like from the uploaders' side, though). I wasn't aware fanbox was also giving creators a hard time, that sucks. Anyway thanks for your hard work, and stay awesome (and most importantly: healthy) :)

I am still rather new here, so first of all, hi and thanks for all your amazing work so far. I have been seeing your works around for quite a while, and I am glad to finally have made my way to your fanbox. Your Myrefall series in particular has blown me away. Really sorry to hear of your health problems, that fucking sucks. It’s good that your surgery went well, though, and I hope you'll get better over time and sooner rather than later. I do feel you when it comes to anxiety with online interactions >.<;. IRL I don't really have a lot of problems, but every interaction online causes me a ton of stress. I've been rephrasing this post again and again for over 24 hours and I'm still nervous writing it down. I don't really know how to deal with this stuff myself, but I still feel that it's important to say: don't worry too much about this. It's fine, you're an artist, not a community manager, handle things at your own pace.

Jedah

Health come first. Cant create arts if u r sick. Stay healthy, stay strong <3

DKoran

Love your art and can't wait to see more. Keep up the great work!

I've done the same to talk to some Japanese artists, modern technology is truly amazing I always take the translated version and convert it back to English first tho, cuz I don't trust Google translate not to make me look a fool XD

Lolfegit31

Yes, some of my favorite artists post WIP all the time. Even if you plan on finishing them later, it's nice to see the progress that was made! And about the anxiety, you are under no obligation to respond to everyone, your wellbeing comes first : )

Lolfegit31

嘿,谢谢你呀!我会好好照顾自己的,你也要哦!Take care, do not oh yeah :3

ruby

Thank you for the warm welcome T v T hope you're doing great as well!

ruby

Thank you! Actually, I haven't been as productive lately, so I'm taking advantage of this time to catch up on my work :') As for the WIPs, thanks for your feedback! I'm considering compiling them into one big WIP dump, or maybe I'll continue working on some of them when I feel inspired again. Regarding the suspended works, I'm thinking to store them in a cloud service too... I'm also contemplating setting up my own web hosting, but I'm still undecided about that. Thanks again for your support :'3

ruby

Thank you for the warm welcome! Haha, I'm neither a native speaker nor fluent in Chinese T v T I used to be okay with listening and speaking, but reading and writing are still challenging. Thanks to Google Translate, I could understand the messages better and even learned a word or two :'3

ruby

I've completed two more pages so far, though the story itself is still a work in progress. I'll be posting them sometime in the future :)

ruby

保重身体 亲爱的ruby Take care. Health is everything :)

Ryo1990

Nice to see you back , it is so impressive to hear that you still working in that situation , you are doing a wonderful job and i shall support you as always . Also for the two main issues you have mentioned , my personal opinion is that i still want to see those WIP project , they might won't be finished but i still want to see how much work you have done and how good they will look . As for the post which has been taken down , maybe you can put them into a cloud file storage and post the link , then we can see those post by click the link .

SAG-13
