This would have been a "where have I been + mini art dump" except none of the images saved and I'm too lazy to go back and do it again so here we are it has been.. almost another whole month since my last post! I've been commenting here and there, and I'm very grateful to still see people taking initiative to interact with me when I'm not as active as I used to be <3 So then.. why have I been gone? What have I been doing? - I will admit I was worried about the whole topic of ai being added to scratch, so I was avoiding posting anything until further notice. I understand now that they have scrapped the prospect of adding any sort of ai generative images and that our content will still be relatively safe ^_^ - School hasn't been crazy busy thankfully, but I've been trying to make efforts to be more productive once I get home from school. My general schedule when I get home from school is essentially to eat a snack, do homework, hopefully finish homework, spend some time with Thing 1 (sibling), eat dinner and go to bed, which doesn't offer a lot of time to create content. (I will admit... i'm also starting to get really lazy when it comes to posting. Creating an art dump can take up to at least an hour, given the amount of times my iPad crashes when i try to upload images, and I find that i either don't have the time or I'm unwilling to sacrifice that much time to create a project. I will consider making smaller art dumps in the future...) - I will be honest. I have not been in the greatest spot mentally. I have been swimming in and out of this issue that should really not be taking up as much brain space as it is for the last month, and I have been pooling most of my energy in trying to rewire my mindset into one that's more optimistic and forgiving to myself. It's been kinda difficult! But I do believe that things have gotten a little bit better :3 I do (very) occasionally post on Pin now! My username is atavizzy if any of you are curious ^o^ The next two weeks consist of three day weekends, so perhaps i'll be able to make an art dump in the near future :] Big thank you to everyone who drew fanart for me!! it brought me so much joy in these rougher times to see all your lovely artwork and artstyles <333 I hope you all are doing well! Remember to take breaks and drink water :3 Happy early valentines / single pringle day
