SO :bademoticon: 2016 has wrapped up and now we're in a new year   I know a lot of people were just waiting for this year to end, but other than a personal block of mine this has been a good year. Unfortunately I lost A TON of respect for incredible artists I've always looked up to simply cause they started to call every American an ignorant racist because of who was elected president. That's cool you can use blanket terms to describe a whole country of people (totally not hypocritical and racist amirite) and I won't stop them from saying it. I'm just kinda sad I can't enjoy their amazing art as much as I used to.  (a couple of those artists i would buy art books from every year. oh well.) 

Sorry I just had to get that off my chest. It had been nagging at me for a while. But now for the good part of the year!

I started to expand my art scope outside of deviantArt, meaning I finally got into other social media platforms like Twitter and Instagram. XD Including live streaming my art on Twitch. It's insane how many people ended up viewing, commenting, or even following and donating to me on there. I think since this year I started to work solo I was really missing someone to talk to. So now every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday I get to talk to a cool group of ppl about art, video games, movies, etc. It was exactly what I needed and I met so many chill artists from there. plus, there's always room for more if anyone's interested  

Also I got a boyfriend in 2016!   And he truly helped me pull through my lowest moments and I can't thank him enough. Without him, I dunno how long it would've taken me to find joy in art again.

I have big plans for 2017! Don't want to post them and jinx myself XD All I can hope is you guys will enjoy what I post. And before I forget, THANK YOU SO MUCH EVERYONE ON DEVIANTART who follow me  I love reading your comments even if I don't respond to them, and it makes me so grateful knowing my art truly has a place to go  Anyways, let's all have a great 2017!
