first off, wowie!! i didnt expect my follower base to grow given my relative inactivity (im trying to get more consistent i swear) but it really means a lot that people are interested in my art! thank you all. truly. i struggle to see things in a positive light and while i know that i improve over time, i sometimes get stuck in that fun little gutter of despair where i don't think it's well enough. i appreciate each and every one of you and thank you for your patience while i try to figure things out. x)

that aside, i don't really talk much on here but i'll give a little update: my mom fell and broke one of her lumbar vertebra (L1 to be exact) so it's been one hell of a hectic month. i've been keeping an eye on her, my dad, and my grandma also got knee replacement surgery so i've been monitoring her as well. so far, emotions aside, they're all doing well and are on the path to recovery. change is pretty scary for them all so that has been the biggest hurdle.

i'm trying to push myself to get back into designing. there's no big theme right now - i just bounce from thought to thought, hence the weird category shift from cutesy to cryptid etc - which seems to just be tied into how i am mentally. i hold down a pretty demanding full time job as a security supervisor and it consumes the vast majority of my energy. i try not to let my art fizzle out while also spacing it appropriately. i've also started going to the gym to work on rebuilding strength (just about two months, two times a week so far!!) with the wife and my co-supervisor. basically, i masquerade as a functional adult (lol) while playing hackey sack with my brain and musical chairs with my personality. the panic attacks are getting worse, the insomnia is flaring up with stress. i thought i had a handle on it for a little bit there, but it comes and goes. in between all of that silly nonsense, my bumbling old self just putters along like a crab.

projects wise, i'm hoping to draw more shadow creatures with my old marker brush and maybe squeeze in some pixel work. i'm also toying with the idea of designing a few ohuas, if anyone remembers them, once i convince myself to draw more humanoids.

and for art/design/sale/comm info:
i've started pushing more designs onto kofi, which you can check here: https://ko-fi.com/psychoh/shop
i'm also most active on toyhouse here: https://toyhou.se/devil
on toyhouse, you can access my sales thread for resale designs that i couldn't place within my many AUs: https://toyhou.se/~forums/13.adopti.....25.new-designs
my commissions have finally opened (but are limited): https://toyhou.se/38347429.commissions-masterpost
lastly, my freebie thread is here: https://toyhou.se/~forums/7515.art-.....-a-freebie-req

i think that's it! is there anything that you, my followers, want to see in general? pixels? designs? shadow creatures? something different? i'm curious.

thanks for your time!
