Putting art on there. Putting Commissions on there. Putting lots of work into it. Reason: Tired of DeviantArt shenanigans. It'll be quite a process. Once it is done, you will be informed. I am also taking a class write now. And, for relaxation, Playing FF XIV and Pokemon Shield. Going to enjoy PoGo Fest this year as well. Things have been a lot less stressed lately. A few art pieces here and there as I rest. There was a comic started. Found out I didn't the story concept as much as I thought, but I learned a lot! Comic pages will be posted below.    Comic below this line.

Where have I been

Work and many things have gotten me stress. Not only that, but I've just been... sad... a lot. Like really sad. Like "what's the point of doing something" sad. I'm looking into what to do about it. My husband and my best friend has been sticking to me and trying to motivate me to do the things they know tend to make me happy. Some days are better than others.

This meant a lot of acrylics, or sometimes playing with stain. Otherwise, not much else. The painting stopped around 9 years old, do to us losing our home and whatnot. So, painting is something I left for a long time. Recently, I tried my hand at painting ceramics and other ornaments again, and then watched a lot of different videos opening boxes and paint supplies (a lot of different videos and different people.)          So, what did I decide to do? Face those fears of water color head on and challenge myself.  Back in Mermay, I sketched this little mermaid. She was holding some sort of shining in her hands, and I thought her lovely (even without eyes).  So, taking up a canvas, I re sketched her, but with more detail. I also, off to the side, played around with the paint and the water, thinning and
