Looking back on 2020 👀 (Patreon)

Hi my lovely peeps! 💖💕

The massive wild fires, the Black Lives Matter movement, all the dumb trump drama and US election, the start of the worldwide Covid 19 pandemic and so on and so on - 2020 has been a turbulent year for sure! 😣

Because of Covid-19 alone this year has been pretty shitty for most people and of course it affected my life as well. However I feel like on a very personal scale there have been a lot of good stuff happening in my life as well.

For example I'm very happy about our discord server! It's not super active all the time, but it's a lot of fun to talk about Anime, Games etc over there ☺️

Oh and I did my very first art trades this year! With Foxy Kuro, Lyeric and Tinnies/Evie! I usually don't have the guts to ask for any kind of collab, but it just brings so much happiness! Focusing on my OC Suco for the whole month of July and also receiving so many fan works of her later in the little contest has been pure heart-balm! The special months for summer, Halloween and Christmas have turned out great as well!

I've also been able to grow my Twitter, Instagram and Patreon a lot. I've had about half the followers on Twitter at the end of 2019! Wow! And after my Instagram got deleted in 2019 and beeing frustrated about it for months, I was able to grow a nice new followerbase again this year! And we went from about ~140 to ~240 patrons! OMG! Huge thanks to everyone following and supporting me and helping me to accomplish this!❤️👏

Despite the growth I haven't been able to fully compensate the lost source of income from parting ways with that shitty company earlier this year, but I'm still happy about that, because a) I really wasn't happy working with them anymore and b) it kinda helped me getting more into doing commissions again. But that's actually more thanks to Ruby and all the Tier 'C' supporters! Thaaaaankies!❤️

There has also been a lot of thinking this year - especially the past weeks - about things I want to do less often, more often or try out for the first time in the future! I already mentioned the daily drawings were fun on one side, but also very stressful on the other side, so it isn't something I could do always. I would probably burn out after a very short time, hehe... Daily specials like that will happen very rarely and I'll keep focusing on the usual amount of content for the most part. However I think about tweaking something here and there in 2021, but more on that in the next post - a lookout on 2021! This one is already a little wall of text, hehe! 😬

Just wanna leave a huge thank you again! You won't believe how much I appreciate your support - especially in a time like this - no matter how small or big, every little bit counts! You're making it possible that I can spend so much time with drawing! Thaaaank you from the bottom of my heart for liking, sharing, commenting on and supporting my working! 🙏❤️

And please tell me about your view on the year 2020! About the bad stuff, but especially the good stuff!

Love you all~
