20 years on dA!
Today marks 20 years that my dA account has been around, and it's wild to look back on the years and think where I started, versus where I am now ^^ I made my dA as a teenager. It saw me through highschool graduation, getting married and starting a family, and so much more. I've met amazing people here on dA. Some not around anymore, some still are. My longest-time friends I met through dA and are still close to me today. I'm SO thankful for them!!
Being around on dA this long means I've seen the site change over time, sometimes good, sometimes bad. While things aren't the most amazing on the internet nowadays, I can at least say nothing has stopped me from creating my art. Not even my medical challenges, which continue to this day.
I haven't left dA because the biggest part of it for me is nostalgia. I remember the good times when the community was a lot more interactive. People didn't care so much about views. It was the interactions, the comments and getting to know people that
2024 Art Goals!
Ever sit down to write a post and then stop in your tracks because you have too many thoughts and you don't know how to write it all down? That's been me, all this month X'D I've wanted to share some goals I have for this year and keep getting stuck. So this will probably won't be a super long post lmao
~ My biggest art goal for this year is to finish art pieces that have been sitting unfinished for over a year. I have a lot of those, with some unfinished paintings even from 2021 ^^; ~ it's just time to get things done and so far I'm making progress at least!
~ Last year I didn't finish any paintings at all. To make up for the lack of painted works, I hope to finish at least one painting every month of 2024. So far I have several art pieces that are close to the final stages, so I think it's a workable goal ^^
~ Throughout this year I'll be spending more time focusing on anatomy and improving how I paint light reflecting on shapes, so things like hands look even more accurate than
Bunch of Updates!
Hey guys! I have a few things to update y'all on so I figured I'd put up a journal instead of a status this time around :3
:bulletblue: My big set of Mario princess adopts that I started this summer are finally going up for sale this month. It's gonna be hard to let them go because I adore each and every one of them ;v; I hope you all look forward to seeing them :heart:
:bulletblue: Twilitober might be over now, but I plan to continue with the prompts over time as I had a lot planned. I ended up getting sick partway through October and then my muse ran off to vampires instead XD
:bulletblue: I've opened a new rito fangroup! The previous one I was co-founder of and collaborated in its creation, was closed without my consent and without warning. To avoid there not being an active place for people to share rito OCs etc, I made a new group by request. It has dA's new group layout so it's been taking a hot minute to figure out, but nonetheless you can join and re-share your rito
Health Updates
I first wanted to thank everyone for the well wishes on my last post, as well as in DMs and otherwise. It's meant a lot to me that everyone's been so patient during this challenging time. I haven't gone into a lot of detail with what's happened this year, but the stress of it all has brought my health to its knees, so to speak.
Since August of last year I've had this rare skin condition creep up on my legs, and two skin biopsies this summer finally identified it as pretibial myxedema. Because that's a condition related to the thyroid and with an idea of where to look more thoroughly, tests upon tests later, my doctors have diagnosed me with Hashimotos Thyroiditis. This is the reason why I've been so incredibly fatigued, with it getting worse over time. I'm at the stage where my thyroid is overreacting to everything, but then at some point it'll crash and continue to attack itself. My immune system is fragile and I rarely leave the house lately to avoid getting sick because it hits me
