my little psychos... suilad.
And now, after a very very long 2020, I shall say "Suilad" for the last time.

Or well, at least in this artbook. Don't you worry, I won't stop sharing my art on wattpad and my artistic journey will continue in my 2021 artbook "Jade", which will have this cover (or at least at the beginning of the year... I have a tendency for changing covers halfway through):

Now. Since this will be my goodbye-chapter there will be a big and emotional "thank you" at the end of this, but before I decided to do something kinda special??

Those of you, that have the ability to read or were here right from the start will probably know, that I started this artbook with a "meet the artist" ... it was a pretty shitty one to be fair, and I do indeed plan on making a new one, but that will probably be next year sometime.

So I thought I'd make one of those "art vs artist" thingies, since I made one for fun, as it was a big trend on instagram, without the intent on posting it anywhere, since... well it's my face.
But I decided that it might be cool to start every Artbook with a "meet the artist" and finish them with an "art vs artist", so one can compare how I see myself and how I actually look every year. Let's see how that'll work out >w<

so you can probably imagine what's about to come, so I won't wait too long and just... yeah...

>>smashes that thing in chapter, because I have no idea what else to say<<

[ this is where the pic used to be...... I decided to delete it later on, since I don't identify as female anymore and felt uncomfortable with a female-representative picture of myself in this artbook. hope you guys understand, if you're so desperate to see my face I'm about to cut my hair (current date: 13/o3/2o21) so I thought I'd maybe do a before n after at the end of some chapter in my new artbook "jade" ]

There ya go my hobbitses......... (watty ruined the quality as always and won't allow me to reupload the thing, so.... well I guess you can't see my pimples then...)
I always find it curious to compare the artist with their artwork, since you can always kinda see how they belong together in some weird way. Anyways. Can you see "me" in my pieces? Because I personally can't which might just be because... well I'm the artist.
(And yes... i do indeed hang my drawings over my bed...... )

>>feels awkward and moves on to next part of this chapter<<

Okie dokie.

So this is that then, huh?
... this is more emotional than I though it would be... or maybe I'm just tired because I only had 4 hours of sleep and am writing this at 6:30 in the morning...
Welp I think I'll start with a big and fat:

THANK YOU.

I know, I know, I never say "thank you" to you guys. It feels wrong to thank you for attention, so I will thank you here and now for a some other things instead.
Thank you for always writing nice comments, making jokes and starting conversations with me.
Thank you for even looking at my art in the first place and sticking around, in my phases of not-posting for months, before another wave of like 10 chapter in one day come along.
Thank you for inspiring and motivating me on my very rocky path of improvement and self-development.

Overall 2020 has been an extremely rough year for most of us, so I also wanted to thank you for making it this far. Whatever 2021 will do and whatever may come, we will manage. We will survive. (Even though the surviving-part may be the problem for some of us xD)

Other than that I wanted to throw some of my favourite comments in here, so here are some I really enjoyed ^-^

I also wanted to use this section, to thank some of my regular readers and voters... I may not always reply to comments and all that (even though I try my very best to answer on every thing)I read everything and always notice when new people found this book, and/or who always came along when I updated.
So a special thanks to Mithiell and Captain_Roth for being always the ones to comment on everything.
A huge hug for chilicy shards-of-ice001 ChessyStar Funkenteufel KarotteXD Luzibu Kristall09 and MissPeanutz for regularily voting
And a big, big piece of cake for Medlineth_ LunaHermineLupin999 and SchneckentempoOcto for finding this book recently and engaging... a lot.

(I also wanted to know, if McPommes is still around and if you're okay... you kinda vanished after may T^T)

Even if I haven't explicitly mentioned you here (which could also be, because I'm forgetful... in that case I am very sorry if you should indeed be a regular...), just know that I am happy that you are here and deserve all the cookies, blankets, hugs and tea that....... you probaly should be virtually receiving right now
>>gives stuffs to you<<

In 2021 there will be some changes coming along... or at least I plan on doing some >w<"

I will be starting an art-blog over on the ArtClub watty-account in our book "Talk about Art". I plan on posting a chapter every weekend about art related topics, so when you're curious about my opinion on things... you know where to go
>>fingerguns<<

I also plan on completely reviving my OC-Book... I have already uploaded the welcome-chapter, so if you're curious about how my OCs talk about themselves... you know where to go in that case as well...
I already have some questions prepared, but it there's anything you'd like to ask a character, you can gladly bung that in any comment anywhere and it will be answered over there ^-^
>>wants to do fingerguns, but realises that doing it twice is a bit too wacky for me<<

Other than that, my art will be moving to "Jade" (as I probably said way to often already), I will continue to write my stories and post them over on my second account.

My profiles will be rewritten and redesigned... meaning new profile pictures, banners and bios. I also plan on uploading the progress eventually in video-format as soon as I have found a way to record timelapses, without making my computer crash ^-^"

On the process-front I also want to throw more of my stories in here and plan on drawing more minicomics and scenes, since I'm slowly sick of just portraits... they will indeed still be the main thing I draw, since I simply don't have enough time for most of the other things, but improvement, storytelling and environments are my main goal for 2021.
I also plan on starting to post things  on my YouTube accounts, such as my little story-Podcast in progress: "Aunty Psys story session" where I will be rambling about my stories, books and OCs for about an hour each episode, or trying speedpaints, since I have a tablet now, that can draw and record it's screen :D

So now... I guess this was it, huh?
welp, here's a last doodle of modern Tirith (AKA: Timothy) I made, including a speedpaint >w<

>>packs blankets, warm beverages and cookies in backpack, to carry over to the next artbook<<
>>cuddles you lot one last time, before leaving and saying in the imaginary doorway: <<

(Also: watty won't allow me to upload any new pictures at the moment, so the rest of ny art 2020 will be posted as soon as that's possible again.... so sorry guys... I also have been pretty depressed lately, so many of the drawings I was supposed to do, have been pushed to the back a bit... I swear I haven't forgotten anything, I just need my private vent-doodles at the moment)
