I know I'm gone for long periods of time, especially the last couple of years and I just wanted to share with you, followers. (Of course you don't have to read if you don't care, but I wanted to share.)
I was in the military for 4 years, which just killed my artistic drive by the end of it and it's taken a while to bounce back from that. I then did almost a year of art school, trying for a game art and design degree but, the more I learned, the less I wanted it. Again, it killed my motivation and creativity because I was so unhappy with everything in my life. Through that whole time my living situation was never very stable.
Now, you may have noticed that I have been submitting better stuff recently. I don't want to promise a lot but I hope to post more often. I've found myself in a much more stable living situation in the last year and just a generally happier mood. Therefore, I've found my drive to draw again and I hope the few art classes I took are also helping me out in my new works.
For now, I'd like to maybe open up for some requests or trades? Maybe if we're mutual friends on here I'd be willing to draw something for you. I really want some more practice and a chance to sort out whatever the hell my style is at this point. So, it can't hurt to ask! Don't overload me, but maybe show me some references and see if maybe I'd draw you something. ^^ I want to keep up drawing at least every few days. It's a big stress reliever and kinda a chance for me to get my mind off my anxiety and just relax. However, I'm so indecisive on what I want to draw that I'm hoping having requests will just kickstart me into doing this stuff. I don't mind doing kinda nsfw stuff but please be aware this is not going to be a full on commission. You offer something and, if I like it, I may ask what you want or I may be inspired to do something on my own. So please keep this whole thing kinda lighthearted and stress free.
So, there we go. Take it or leave it. Thanks for taking the time to read. If you didn't read:
TL;DR - Life sucked for a few years but I'm better and I want to take some requests or trades from mutuals if you want them.
