HappyNewYear 2023 + Art Summary + Free Aurora Brush (Patreon)

Happy New Year! Kudos to everyone for surviving another year. I'm glad that you are still here with me.

Looking back, I was actually pretty productive in 2022. No wonder I burned myself out in the end.

Within 2022, I started to find new activities/hobbies outside the creative field. I had an archery course and started to learn Japanese language. I'm doing archery daily nowadays, and the Japanese course is still ongoing.

What a busy year. Even though I promised myself not to take on any more projects since February, I still ended up with some. To be fair, the projects I took were coming from returning clients which it's hard for me to refuse. They are just so kind! I only got maybe one or two new clients last year. One of them became a returning client this year🏵.

I didn't manage to finish Huevember because of burnout, but I'm still continuing it even though it's slow progress.

I attended a comic con, COMIFURO15. I was selling old stocks and some new prints, but I'm glad that most of it was sold out. I'm planning to attend COMIFURO16 this March but idk what to sell. The printing shop I usually go to was having a drop in quality, plus they also increase the fee 〒▽〒

I'm glad that I managed to start continuing Raruurien webcomic. Thank you so much for the wait. Thank you for having faith in me. I hope I can release the first book this year.

Special thanks to: 

• my patrons who keep supporting me; 
• my twitch viewer who accompanied me drawing; 
• my paimon, LessSugarCandy; 
• also, all of you who like/comment/share on my art posts.

✨Wish you a great year, good health, and a safe peaceful place wherever you are.

Here's a little gift from me. A brush I made last year.
