Report on recent events (Patreon)

Actually, my family is in mourning this year.

So I will refrain from wishing you a Happy New Year. (I am sorry.

Now that I have calmed down a little after last year's events, I would like to tell you about the situation.

My wife passed away last January.

This has affected my creative activities to a great extent, and I have not been able to make progress on my work.

I think I have been inconveniencing everyone by not being able to make progress with my work.

Q-bit is a circle that started its activities on the recommendation of my wife.

She has supported us from its inception to last year.

My wife handles most of the administrative work.

She also worked as a vendor at the exhibition, so you may have seen her there.

When I was struggling with the composition of my illustrations, I often asked my wife to pose for me and make sketches.

When I showed my wife what I was going to draw, she would often say to me, "Draw it more erotic! She would often get angry with me.

To be honest, I still feel a sense of loss.

I am still feeling a sense of loss, but I hope to be able to turn my mind positively toward the first anniversary of my death this month.

I hope that everyone will continue to watch over me.

In the meantime, I will post illustrations of the Chinese zodiac in the near future.

近況報告

実は我が家は今年喪中です。

ですので新年のお祝いの言葉は控えさせていただきます。(｡-人-｡) ｺﾞﾒﾝﾈ

昨年の事で少し気持ちも落ち着いたので状況をお話ししておきます。

昨年1月に妻が亡くなりました。

その影響でだいぶ創作活動にも影響が出てしまい、

作品制作の進みが悪く皆さんにはご迷惑をかけていたかと思います。

Q-bitは妻の勧めで活動を開始したサークルです。

そして発足から昨年までずっと支えてもらっていました。

事務的な仕事はだいたい妻が対応しており、

即売会では売り子もしていたので見かけてた方いるかもしれません。

制作活動ではイラストの構図に悩んでいる時に、妻にポーズをとってもらってよくデッサンしていました。

描きかけの物を妻に見せると「もっとエロく描け！」とよく怒られたりもしました。

正直まだまだ喪失感がありますが、

今月の一周忌を目途に前向きに気持ちを切り替えていければと思います。

皆様には変わりなく見守って頂けると嬉しいです。

一先ず干支のイラストを近日中に投稿します。
