April Update
🕑 Added 2023-04-02 16:29:48 +0000 UTCHeya guys, I hope you've all been well. I just thought it'd be a good idea to check in and let you all know how things are on my end.
I'll be honest with you, this first month in the new house has been tough. Not from a work perspective of course, I've still been working consistently on commissions, sales and patreon pics where I can. I mean tough as in adjusting to the new house, and I don't think it has anything to do with the house itself, but with my own feelings.
Since it's the first time I've moved house since 1993 (I was two at the time so we might as well just count this as my first ever move) it was always going to be tough but I'm finding it a really difficult transition. It's like day to day I have to keep thinking to myself "Don't forget Rob, this isn't a holiday, you won't be going home at some point, this IS home now." And I guess during the day I've been doing pretty good, working away in my office space comfortably, making lunch etc. And it's been really fun exploring the local area, being in the countryside away from London it's definitely a different kettle of fish when it comes to the surrounding area. There are a lot of things I miss about the old area though, conveniences, the gym, y'know certain places that become go tos for certain things? We went back to my old town a couple weeks back to go into central London to see a concert and last weekend I saw the old house for the first time, it wasn't quite as hard as I was expecting it to be, but to me whenever I looked at the old house I kept thinking of it as "home"
So why am I saying all this? Well, I've noticed that I haven't been as talkative on here as well as furaffinity, twitter and discord and I just thought it'd be a good idea to get some things off my chest as to sorta explain why that might be the case. And don't get me wrong I'm not in a deep state of depression or anything, it's just quite often I lay awake in bed at night and find it hard to settle. This might be because at present I have no storage in my bedroom so there's still a lot of boxes and bags in there so it doesn't really feel homely right now. Hopefully as time goes on I'll get that all sorted out.
So what are my plans for April? Well I'm gonna carry on my Easter sale till next weekend, my birthday is on the 17th so I'll be drawing something for that and I have a big group YCH I want to get ready to put up for auction.
And by all means, if there is anything you'd like to see from me, or characters you'd like to see drawn more. Please don't hesitate to comment below!
And I hope it goes without saying that I'm so grateful for your support and I will always try my best to make content you'd enjoy ^^
I'm also desperate to carry on the Venture comic, I've been really bad at motivating myself to work on it lately, so hopefully we'll be getting back to that.
In the meantime, have a good Sunday everyone and I'll be posting more content for you very soon ^^
