Dear Members (Pixiv Fanbox)

Hey all you English-speaking members!

It's Jané! How are you doing?

Thanks for all your support!

Sorry I haven't been able to greet you in English since the beginning of the year.

Have you already checked out the new paid plans? As I mentioned briefly when we talked about the unauthorized reproduction issue before, we have revised the plan contents. Check it out if you are interested in the contents.

Also, is there anything that you think has changed in the way I draw compared to before?

Actually, it has to do with the fact that around the end of last year, I changed my approach to my own creative activities. I would like to talk about that today.

I had been suffering from being stuck in the past and not being able to live my life the way I wanted to. It was a wonderful discovery that painting allows me to communicate with people like you all, even people from all over the world, but staying in my shell is not good for my ability to improve.

Besides, I was always alone.

The reason I had cut off communication with other creators was also to protect my own mind.

No one was ever going to harm me, of course. Everyone had great ability and personality, and they did not separate themselves from me. But the more I looked at their active and seemingly happy lives, the more miserable I felt about my own.

Solitude set me free, but I still felt like I was going to be ruined. I don't mean that I miss people.

When I wanted to accomplish something, it would be too sad if there was no one around to help me. The reality is that I have fans but no friends. I could not encourage each other with anyone, and I could not share my joy with anyone. I was afraid to lead that kind of life.

I changed my jealousy toward others. I can't erase it, but I can separate others from myself, recognize what's great about them, and use it to expand my world. I was able to resume the communication between people that everyone usually takes for granted.

There are still many hard things. I still compare myself to others.

I sometimes regret when I don't reach the other person's feelings even if I have the courage to approach them. Even when I have something to say, I sometimes stop saying it because I am worried about what other people will think.

But I still decide to step out.

Back to the story.

My way of painting has changed because I was influenced by other creators I met in this way. I like my style now. How about for you guys? Do you like my old style better?

I have many things I want to do in the future. There are things I want to create.

For that, I need your support, but don't be unreasonable.

I guess what I am looking for most right now is reactions.

How many English-speaking members are excited about the future of creative work by me is what I would most like to know.

Depending on the results, I would like to decide whether or not I will continue to translate my work. Best regards.

I'm not very good with words, but I hope you get the message.

See you soon...♡
