UPDATE~ my life, new merch and things I want to work on!
🕑 Added 2021-12-14 10:00:41 +0000 UTCHello my sweet and spicy potatoes! π
I decided to write an update because, as you might have noticed, I've been very busy with stuff outside of Patreon, and so I've been posting less than before.
These past weeks were really hectic for me. I attended two comic conventions in the span of a month and reopened my online store, too, on top of my usual Patreon stuff. I worked so much and so hard that the love and satisfaction I got in return are invaluable... but during it all, my body ended up failing me for a couple of days. I am quite worried that past health problems I had are coming back, all due to the stress I'm putting myself under. I want to draw and create so many things, my head keeps buzzing all the time with new ideas, but being a one-woman team is pretty difficult during times like these. π
In the end, I got to the conclusion that I must slow things down a bit. I'll keep working on everything I want to, but maybe at a slower pace. Still, I want to share with you some things I'm planning for the coming year:
- a new bakudeku acrylic charm! π§‘π My heart has been so warm for them lately, so I have to!
- new enamel pins! β¨ My big four: Bakugou, Kirishima, Deku and Todoroki... and maybe Shinsou if I can squeeze him in? Would you like that? π
- League of Legends inspired fanarts! πͺ Though I'm not a LoL player, I've been loving Riot's side projects. I am utterly obsessed with Arcane, and have been a K/DA stan for years. Now I got to the point that I can't rein myself anymore, so get ready!!
- more and more about UNLOCK, my original story! I am a very bad mom... while being busy with cons, fanarts and my store, I've been neglecting my OCs... I worry all the time that you'd rather see me drawing fanarts than my original art, but I can't keep pushing it aside. Also, the love, interest and support so many of you have been showing me through comments and even buying darmes prints, have given me the strength to doubt no more. This means more UNLOCK content in the future: maybe polls to help me decide which characters I should introduce you next, NSFW art about them babies, I'm also planning a draw-this-in-your-style (because I'm dying to see UNLOCK fanarts), and finally! Start writing the story and sharing it with you: particular scenes, excerpts or even actual chapters, all of which will be Patreon Exclusives. π I hope you're excited for this as much as I am, because this is literally a part of my soul that I am sharing with you, guys. There's so much personal stuff that I am processing through this story/characters, so I hope I'll be able to touch your heartstrings with it.
On another note, I'll share with you that this coming Monday I'll be doing the third shot of the covid vaccine and a laser operation to fix my sight defects - that's a twofer! π With luck, I'll recover quickly from both, so that my drawing schedule won't change. π€
Also, at the end of January I'll attend another big con, and after that there will be a spring reopening of my online store! Atm, I'm planning it for March, and with luck I'll have the new charm and enamel pins I mentioned above.
Now, a little last note on things I won't pursue anymore, or at least not with consistency: commissions, Discord server and the idea I had of doing streamings. Rn, I find it impossible to invest time and effort in these things. Also, as I previously said, I am not a spontaneous person and talking on Discord was stressing me quite a lot. I'll still keep the server but it probably won't be active - it has never been, actually. π Please keep this in mind if you wanna join!
That's it! Now I'll go back to work, while keeping myself and my health in check. Please, do the same for yourself, too. You are the most valuable thing you have. ππ
Always with love,
AIRA

I'll be attending a con in my country, Italy, precisely in Milan! β¨ For the time being I'm not able to participate to cons abroad, but π maybe next year, if the pandemic gets more under control, I'll look out for some cons in Europe, like Japan Expo or Dokomi π₯°

Slow(er) and Steady Aria is far better than burnt out Aria any day of the week, so don't let your health suffer! Would very much look forward to more of Unlock! (totally there for Draw in Your Style challenge! - if you've seen my style should be interestingly different π) and best of luck with your surgery!
Manon Szulc
So excited for more Unlock, iβbe really been looking forward to seeing more and more from this univers! I hope feel good and please remember to take care of yourself, even if it means we have to wait for stuff sometimes! When you feel good your work reflects that, so itβs a win win! π

Take care and good luck for your operation! What con are you attending in January? I'll see if I can come ^^
Poples
take care of yourself first and foremost! I support you here because I love your art and you deserve it, not because I need x updates in a month. I'll be happy with less content if it means you're taking care of yourself and your own health! π
KhajitTink
Take care hun!! We love your art no matter how fast we get it, and I would rather have a healthy Aira than a burned out one lol. Also, very excited for more Darmes!! You know how much I love those two π₯Ίπ₯Ί
