Vacation and End of Year
🕑 Added 2023-12-27 23:06:10 +0000 UTCHi from Hong Kong~! As you know i am on vacation so my time is a bit reduced even though i've still been doing art whenever i can (like right now it's 6am so i can squeeze a few hours before the day begins - and ngl it's a bit harder to draw boobs when family could be around the corner LOL), but i apologize if there is less content or pace here for the time being til i get back in February.
I have settled down here and gotten my set up and running I'm sure you have seen on my twitter and i am happy to still have my own workspace. We are staying at a quieter part with a lot more space, greenery and less people, and it is comfortable, just a bit inconvenient for transportation but ofc that's to say not very inconvenient since its here. I am still getting my vacation actually started - it's only been a day- but as always HK is full of sights and sounds, and super busy, packed, and interesting at every corner. I have pics and thoughts on my alt twitter account which you may have seen. But always fun here. It reminds me of an industrial old school cyberpunk star wars at times, the architecture is a sprawling maze and goes up vertically quite a bit with old brown and tan industrial thicc constructions and tunnels and bridges like appendages, many massive skyscrapers and raised curling highways, lots of neon and colored signs and lights, and everything thicc, multi levelled and dense. Back in canada even the bridges and highways are stilted on thin narrow pillars so they aren't very imposing or alien looking and doesn't really create the sense of a terrain like these
I think it's interesting over the years as i traveled or even just whenever we watch movies, shows, videos, play games, we experience so many places and life times essentially, that I've gotten used to a broader range of interesting experiences. i used to feel a sense of wonder and awe, and thrill, when i travel but now it is a lot more normal, and i accept things like as they are, as they have always been. It feels like a natural part of life or experience and it no longer has impact - it just is. is it that i need more thrill, more interesting, newer things to stimulate myself since i have experienced more over time? or some sort of age and maturity thing? anyway I am rambling....
What i want to say is coming to the end of the year, I truly am so thankful for your continued support despite my inadequacies, you are making a big difference for me. This year i have been able to improve my art skills and pieces and set up my own site and shop, largely due to special generous people like you who are supporting me. Even though I still struggle financially, it definitely has helped offset my living costs and buy me more time to afford to improve my art and do art I want to do.
Next year i hope I can continue to work harder and improve more, get back to more commissions as well as building a sustainable income. I hope I can draw more art that is more dynamic with poses, composition, light and shadow, etc, and more complex works, as well as more... lewd stuff maybe. I know i still owe a bunch of nsfw versions of the art i have already posted, and they will come! i also have my goals and interest in drawing more OL (office lady) or office people attire and maybe making an artbook from it? I already have a publisher interested! But we will see how the year works out on that. Among commissions or the OL series, i'm not sure how much fan art time i have but hopefully i can get out more fan art that is worthy of posters and conventions. Conventions are probably not in my scope yet and i need to build up a better repertoire but maybe 2025?? My biggest goal though isn't what i draw but wanting to draw faster, a lot faster, so more efficient and put out art more often. But it's hard bc i seem to like my details
Anyway I hope you have had a great holiday season and coming to the end of the year well. I will see you as always on socials and discord and more on the flip side of 2024!!
