Hi guys 👋
Just finish an art piece for like the first time in ten years pretty much.  How are you guys doing?

I've been feeling real burnt out lately, but I just started to pick my art back up again.

Here's my lovely new art piece - fanart, remarkably.  A rarity for me I shall admit.

It feels nice to have gotten something finished for once aha

I'd like to get back into the swing of things.  I'd been feeling so disappointed in myself and had lost a bit of my passion for creating art.  I kept making half hearted sketches that I had no intention of finishing. 

It's been really harrowing to be an artist online, I feel like.  All of the best websites for posting art have become untrustworthy, and it's difficult to establish a community of peers you can talk about art with. 

I think this loneliness had started getting to me, and I couldn't stomach being in these online art spaces anymore.  Something about feeling less lonely when you're alone I suppose? 

On that note, I've seen a lot of ads for a new art website called UnVale lately that looks super attractive, but I would be wary of it.  It's a data broking site, and I would advise you to avoid taking their surveys and making transactions through it if you could. 
I would also suggest that you not use your main email address to sign up, as they will share it with other companies. 

This is all in their privacy policy, and they are far from the only social media site that does this, but I feel people should still be aware of this before signing up to it (I don't believe there is currently an option to opt out of having information sold by UnVale at this point in time).

Anyway have this little doodle that I did as well. 

Just a cute little play around with style and whatnot. 

I had wanted to do something fun with my readers my hundredth chapter, but after the radio silence from this book for the last six months I think I should probably let the idea go aha

Hopefully I'll start posting more consistently from here onwards.

Take care of yourselves 😊😊
