Thank You!
🕑 Added 2024-12-12 20:00:15 +0000 UTCHi, everyone! This goes to all of my Patreon supporters that have supported me in the past, present, paid and not. (And my mom who lurks here, everyone say hi to my mom! Don't worry, she's on my ship art tier, not the spicy one.)
Y'alls support this year has helped me through difficult times.
After I graduated college and finished my Webtoon series Andy Bass in 2022, I was very unsure of what I would do next. I felt very hopeless, anxious, and dreadful starting 2023, where I had the itch to create a comic, but due to Webtoon rejecting a pitch of mine, I felt my confidence in creating comics diminish. After finishing Tears of the Kingdom in May, I started making "Secret Confessions to a Sage" to cope with my fictional fish husband cheating on me- Link LINK! Link. And I did not realize just how much this fun passion project would affect me for the better.
Due to the sheer amount of support that came from "Secret Confessions to a Sage", I was able to get a steady income from my Patreon, one that allowed me to better myself both as an artist and a person. I want you to all know that the support you've given me since 2023 is something I am incredibly thankful for. I've grown to not only want to develop my skills as an artist, but to take care of myself, as I never truly did so in the past years. I feel healthier now, though I am still working on things here and there (Much of 2024 was shaken up with physical and mental health issues, so I am incredibly thankful for y'alls patience with me) I know I will only get better, and the stability that you all have given me has allowed me to improve on myself. Though, my health as a person hasn't been my only focus! I have been incredibly focused on bettering my skills of anatomy, line art, color, and storytelling in order to give you all even better work. I feel 2024 shows some of my best improvement as an artist, and I hope it only gets better, so Sidlink gets even... spicier... amongst cuter for you all.
I know I sometimes still struggle with feeling "imposter syndrome" over my art. With not being at the professional level needed for the amount of support I get, but instead of allowing myself to get upset (which I used to), I do my best to motivate myself to become a more professional artist! I want 2025 to bring you all even better illustrations and comics! And I just... I cannot thank you all enough for being here to see me improve. I wouldn't have been able to do so without you all, so thank you.
(Also I suck at this stuff so I apologize aosjfweofjwaofjqw. I just hope you all know how much I appreciate you oiqwjfoqwjfqwef)

Honestly, thank YOU! When I started Tears of the Kingdom, I went straight to see Sidon and it broke my heart to see him engaged. I dropped the game for a while until I found your comic and it helped me to cope so I could play again β€οΈ
