Long time no post, huh? I've been busy with life and stupidly happy with it. I officially retired from commissions, which, honestly, after 21 years, it's well overdue. I am so happy that I don't have to do commissions anymore, not that I didn't like them, but 21 fuckin years of working for others will work on your mental health. I do appreciate and love all who have ever commissioned me, but the time has come for me to work on my own projects and ideas in comfort.  I have felt so good all month, and now I can focus on working on teaching my free classes, too. *EXCITMENT* ^.^

So speaking on holidays, I beat the porch pirates to everything because I was eyeing their tracking bars like a hawk. I already got my Christmas gifts ready for my husband. But will be going to the stores for my husband's birthday stuff and get him a cake from my fave asian bakery. I am so excited for Halloween and Christmas. For Halloween, I am planning a date night with hubby that involves candy, silly string in a can fight, some dinner, and horror movies. But this will be the best holiday year yet! There is just so much to celebrate, and I'm just beyond happy to share it with my love.

I gave my husband an early Halloween blind box and plush gift cause he has been working so hard as of late, and he was so happy waaaaaaaaah. He deserves it 




Also, I started using Krita, and I really love it; it's possibly the only program that allows this kind of impasto texturing.

I've been exploring other software other than Photoshop. And while I will continue to use Photoshop for a lot of my needs, it doesn't hurt to try a lot of the open-source stuff too.













 

Got inspired by this song to do some vent art here


Anyhoots, I will try to keep this place active. I just have a ton of things to do, or I'm just tired, but I want to start using my personal journal again like I always used to.
 Later yalls.
