Heyooooo ya'll!
Figured it'd be a good idea to give a quick lil update on what I'm up to since it's been a while since I just talked on here. If you don't wanna read here's the TL;DR:
-Thanks for the birthday wishes!
-Fanart and headcanon AU projects in indefinite hiatus. This tumblr will host my commissioned art, original art/OC projects, written story/worldbuilding posts, and occasional tomfoolery of my thoughts, interests, and updates on my Powerlifting venture.
The full update under the break! 👇
Thank you all so much for the birthday wishes I received! ^.^ I may be older and I still have many challenges ahead, but I can comfortably say that I've grown as a person and hope to continue to grow as I live. Been trying new things and still working on pushing out the walls of my box, so I'll talk about that a lil more when new developments come up! Speaking of...
I'm doing relatively good! Cool news: I will be competing in my first powerlifting meet this year! It's been made official as of two months ago, and I've been hard at work with training and prep for the meet. I have my eye on making the state record for the Benchpress in my weightclass and I think I have real shot at it, so I'm gonna make the attempt. Wish me luck! ;w;
Not so good news: Rent's going up. Who's isn't, right? Gonna be putting a serious effort on looking for a new place (I'm reeaaallly gunning for a house) because SHEEEEEEEEEEEESH that spike in price for the exact same shit? Nah man. Likely will get rough a few times over the next few months but I'm confident I'll figure things out!
Now, the crux of why the update:
I figured it was probably high time to mention the complete lack of fanart and headcanons 'round here, especially because that's what helped me find all of you and vice versa.
I'll be honest; I am no longer burnt out on creating art, but I've found the interest to continue any of my AU fanprojects is still missing, so as of right now they are on an indefinite hiatus. I apologize to everyone who followed me for the Super Mario, the LoZ stuff, anything and everything I was working on before the burnout! ;w;
I'm still working on projects, they're just completely original ones! I've been having so much fun with them and I'm pretty happy with them; here's a quick preview of each:
-Feathers and Flowers (OC project): a slowburn fantasy/adventure where a god becomes trapped in the mortal realm while on a mission, but ends up compromising said mission when she begins to believe everything she knew about mortals is a lie.
-Billy Goat's Ruff (OC project): an anthro mystery/thriller about a doe who knows her husband was murdered, but no one else believes her. As she works to find his killer herself, the last thing she expects is falling in love.
-Melon's Adventure (Fanproject): an action/adventure retelling of Yoshi's Island with twists and a personal flair! Follow Melon as he faces dangers and villains on his quest to return baby Mario to his family.

But ye! I wanna say thank you all so much for your interest and engagement with my fanart work; regardless of everything I had an absolute great time working on them, and you all made them all the more enjoyable. It may take a little bit before I start posting them, but I hope you stick around for the original/OC stuff and enjoy what I've got in store! ;w;
Feel free to ask questions or make comments, I'll be around to respond starting today. Until then keep them peepers open for more art! ^.^
Duuuuude, congrats on getting into the bench press competition!!! That's Hella cool!!! I hope we get an update when you win 🏆 for your class!!!
Also, always a fan of your work, no matter the content. I just be sitting here crosslegged, eager for something to feast my eyes on whenever. 🤩
