My SO’s mom had an accident this past week, so we’ve been back and forth from the hospital for days. She’s thankfully okay and coming home today and I’ll be helping take care of her. Any shop orders or Fund a Fanarts help so much right now. No one else can watch her and I can’t really work atm. 🙏🏻

Every day this past week I have woken up to an intense migraine plus nausea that takes me out for most of the day. I had to go to urgent care. It really feels like my health is tossing me around like a ragdoll lately and I just gotta go with it.🫠 I am so sorry to everyone!

My toothache I’ve been having this past month has started to feel even worse, so I’m going to the dentist urgently tomorrow. I’m so uncomfortable so I apologize for the delay with things and replying to messages. I’ll get back to everyone soon!🙏🏻💕

I caught up on some much needed sleep/rest today and may still need more. I’ve been getting 3 hrs a day sleep all week and it’s been absolutely dreadful powering through work as of late. Things will get better. 💪🏻✨

Artists! Show what built your art style! Of course Ranma 1/2 and Atsuko Nakajima. Chika was the first online artist I became a big fan of, and the way she presented art continues to influence me today. My Animerica magazines were like my guidebooks. I always had one open when I was young.

Artists! Show what built your art style! 🎨 Obvious influence is 90s anime, but I also really like the thick bold outlines you saw in western cartoons in the late 90s/early 00s, so I incorporate that into my style as well.

Everything’s gonna be okay~ deeps breaths!! Please be patient with me, I am dealing with tooth pain and unsure how long I’ll be dealing with it… Even my eye exam is 2 months out. But it’ll be okay! It’ll be ohhhhkay.
