Hi everyone! I just want you all to know that everything's fine - I promised I'd restart the worldbuilding prompts in March, but it's the 31st now and I haven't even looked at the old ones yet to see how I can improve them, let alone load them up on Postybirb to make sure you folks get them on a regular, rolling basis. I'm distracted by quite a few 'life' things that have all happened at once. Pretty much everything that's going on is either neutral or good, nothing particularly bad going on, I just need to push the prompts back for now. I'm distracted, but I still check in. Also, I've had the itch to draw but haven't been able to fit that in for weeks now. Argh! But yeah, so I've been distracted by spring-cleaning the house (my partner is naturally cleaner and tidier than me but has a disability, so beyond getting the worst of the dust off the skirtingboards with his socks, there's not much he can do, so I decided to do a full blast of everything); my hard drive died and I've

Over the span of a week or so between last month and February, I heard about two scams. I don't usually talk here about things like this, but they seem worth mentioning because of the emotional gimmicks in each. The first was through another DeviantArt member, who told me she had been contacted by someone who claimed to need her to make a payment in order to prove her account wasn't fraudulent. She did so, only to realize soon after that it was a scam. She has a complicated relationship with her parents and lives at home, so she worried that they'd see this activity on her bank account and restrict her freedom even more. Understandably, she was panicking. The second was through an ex-client through The Character Consultancy. He told me he has a friend with cancer, whose birthday it was, and that he'd already promised her a present but his bank account wasn't working properly, so he needed me to buy the gift instead. He promised to pay me back. The Emotional Elements Both of these

Hi folks! I know I've been super quiet lately but I just wanted to let you know I do keep checking in here. I've just been taking care of a lot of offline stuff lately. So far, I'm keeping busy with EAP clients - 5 at a time. Aside from that, private practice clients are showing up now, and last week I did 12 client sessions, which is the most I've ever had in one week! I also ran a support group, and it seems that a monthly basis is working best for that. A core of people are showing up for that, which is awesome. I'm also getting comfortable with couples work. So much of it involves being quiet while the couple figure out the minutiae of how they're going to solve certain problems, so it's not as intense as I thought it might be. Aside from therapy stuff, I've got 5 pictures on the go at the same time, and am not sure which I'll finish. I'd like to get better at drawing houses, rooms, infrastructure, that sort of thing, so I'm practising to improve my perspective work. That's

THANKS FOR THE LLAMA, YOUR ART IS MESMERIZING! KEEP IT UP NEVER GIVE UP😍😍😍❤️


Happy Birthday friend!

 thanks for the fav, I hope you'll enjoy even the rest of my gallery, have a good day, bye!:) 

Hi there, Joe @ DA here 👋 


What a beautiful, thoughtful, and versatile gallery! Whether it's your world-building, character studies, or those whimsical Rabbit Sketches, everything you share exudes care and creativity. 


From all of us at DeviantArt, @Community, and @ProjectComment, thanks for being you!!!

Well, thank you very much, Vagrantscout! It's felt like I'm being quite directionless lately, as I started TCC in order to get commissions while I was in the later stages of my training. Then I qualified in 2022 and had to focus on building my other business, which is now far and away my bread and butter. But TCC has such a major place in my heart that I don't want to just let it die, so I try to keep it going.


The economic situation we've all been in for the past few years, Covid included, hasn't helped with building either business, but we keep going, don't we? In the meantime, I'm relearning how to draw and am honing skills I never really fine-tuned as a teenager.


Anyway, that's enough monologuing from me. Thanks again!
