December Update
🕑 Added 2024-12-08 23:00:00 +0000 UTCHello!
I hope everyone is doing well. Where I live, it’s been raining almost every day, and I’m loving the cooler weather, it’s a nice break from the usual heat and humidity.
Can you believe 2024 is almost over? This will likely be my last personal update for the year. I hope December has been eventful for you! Do you have any plans this holiday season?
Next year, I’ll be starting intensive full-time work again, which means I won’t be able to update as often. However, I’ll still try to create and share content whenever I can.
Regarding Commissions
I also won’t be able to take on as many commissions starting next year. Lesson learned the hard way; my sincerest apologies to those whose pieces were delayed, sometimes for an embarrassingly long years (yes, years (Ｔ▽Ｔ)). I’m slowly catching up now.
I used to complete commissions within a week, then it stretched to two weeks, then months—and, well, you know the rest. It’s terrifying to feel yourself losing control over something that used to be done so easily. Now, it feels like trying to hold water or sand in my hands. And I have no one to blame but myself.
I am still accepting commissions, but with a revised system with a more manageable method than my previous chaotic approach (thanks to my idiot past self for over-promising and under-delivering). Hopefully it works!
To anyone affected by my delays: I’m deeply sorry for the inconvenience I caused. I’ve taken this as a lesson and will do better moving forward.
I often listen to YouTubers discussing art and creators who scam their clients. While I don’t consider myself a scammer (who does???), I realize my poor management and broken promises caused unnecessary frustration. I’m not claiming to be perfect, but I am working on being more responsible and reliable.
What's Next?
In December, I’ll be posting more content, mainly commissions and updates for Echoes of Sorrow. I know I mentioned finishing the series months ago, but... yeah ╥﹏╥ things happened.
Due to my packed schedule next year, I’m also considering starting a simpler project. It’ll be similar to Myrefall Strangler, no comics, just "before" and "after" illustrations. I hope to share a teaser around Christmas!
About Health
After some frustrating experiences, I’ve kind of given up on "serious" medications and treatments. While I still take occasional tests and have doctor appointments, I’m focusing on healthy habits instead; exercising more, drinking water, eating better, and getting enough sleep.
One thing I’ve learned (and I know it’s dumb I didn’t realize it earlier) is to stop working when my head starts hurting. I still don’t know exactly what’s wrong with my body, but I’m feeling a little better overall. If my hands tremble, I take it as my body’s way of telling me to stop and rest.
I might sound like a broken record, but I hope you’re taking care of your health--both physical and mental!
That’s it from me for now. Take care, and I’ll see you around! ヾ(＾∇＾)

Thank you so much for your kind words! I’ve actually always had a full-time job, but I had to step back a few months ago because my health wasn’t great. Since then, I’ve been about 50% unemployed. I really need to start working again since my savings are running low! x'D
