Hey guys 👋🏽 here’s another update on Banka’s Life

Firstly, I want say I’m sorry for those who have been waiting patiently for their commissions. I promise I have been doing my best to continue finishing your amazing commissions. I am currently going through a Divorce with my ex. I moved out of the house in June, and moved in with my friend who’s also offered to help me out with planning my finances, my debt, and budgets.

I used to live 15 min from my work, but after I moved, It’s now an hour drive each way. I work early hours and I now get up around 4am to leave at 4:45am just to get to work by 6am.

Not enough sleep + divorce stuff + finances + family drama + drafting commissions = hella exhausted. I’d be back at my friends house by 5:30pm, short nap, draw for a bit then fall asleep around 11:30pm and repeat. The lack of sleep caused me to doze off on the highway and I hit a back of a semi-truck. I am completely fine, but the accident totaled my car. Had to immediately find a way to put a downpayment on a car with the little savings I had, but good news is I have a car! Bad news, I have to pay off the car note on top of other bills.

I am doing my best to stay positive. I have had fellow moots like @silshinobii @razildor @kirain to help me through this. At one point I thought I had Reznor (TheMournfulWatcher) beside me, who have been there and supported me through my tough moments. We got too close that we began a LDR for a few months. We both planned to meet in November. Only a few knew, but we mostly tried to keep quiet…It was a nice breakaway from all the hectic chaos, and I say ‘was’ because he ended up ghosting me all of the sudden and out of character. I was confused, Moots were confused, and more importantly it brought up a thicker wall.

I care a lot about people, I never ask for much, and I only ask for help when it is necessary because I like to figure things out on my own.

My family tries to listen and be there for me, but I was also raised in a very strict, catholic, and sheltered home, and everyone needs to know details of everything going on. Not my cup of tea. I’m literally the black sheep of the family hahaha

I’m used to doing things alone, but all the things that happened lately, really messed with my mental health.

I will need a break. Just a week or two to clear my head again.

Then I’ll be back with finished commissions and SMUT 🖤

Thanks for listening/reading my rant.

I love all the comments and DMs everyone sends me. I do not mind you even reaching out to say hi. I’m a very laid back nice person, funny, and I’m awkward af. Please don’t be afraid to reach out! 🩶

Thanks for keeping me busy 🖤

Everyone give @themournfulwatcher some support! Hes done amazingly with catching such great shots of Rook and Emmrich! I wish I could use mods! Unfortunately Im not very tech savvy. Check him out!!! 🖤❤️‍🔥

So, a little while ago I rage deleted my Emmrich companion swap mods off Nexus because I had my work undermined.

Took me a while to get my motivation back, but I finally decided to reupload them again. This time they’re full swaps, not just at the lighthouse, and he’s in underwear in each romance scene :)

Get them here 💚

Thank you to those who reached out and motivated me to put them back out there 😄

SHES PERFECT!!!!! 😍 you drew her so sweet!!! 🥹

Thank you 🖤

A little gift for @bankabb! ❤️❤️ Some weeks ago, we set a mini challenge, if we can call that, to draw Dahlia and Kate with Emmrich in our styles. And finally, after a looooong time, I did it mine ( it always took me so much to do things like this or commissions, because I'm an incurable procrastinator XD).

I really enjoyed drawing Dahlia. She has a strong character and most of the time I saw her as someone that do not endulge so much in sweetness. So, I wanted to depict a tender moment between her and Emmrich.

Also, I couldn't compete with the amazing smut paintings and drawings of Bankabb, so I decided to remain in my comfort zone.

I'm sure this has been done before, but I feel very confident that if somehow the worlds of BG3 and Dragon Age collided, these two would vibe so well together 🤣 #BESTIES

(also imagine Emmrich romancing Gale?? My gods the amount of emotional support he'd give. Gale would be weeping constantly and so would I Imao)

Our diva Hezenkoss should've gotten some post-battle evil villain dialogue since she was so iconique but alas.

Partially based off of the idea of this storyboard concept art by Nick Thornborrow:

This makes me think that maybe there was a possibility that she would've gotten her post-battle villain speech at one time.

Also this storyboard goes so hard:

I think that the ending we got is ultimately better for Emmrich's character and storyline, but it would've been so good. He should've lost his shit just a little, as a treat. With the two narrative beats, it gives me the impression that makes me think that she would've done something to give Emmrich no choice in the matter, so what would've happened in between? What would even drive him to take her out by his own hand? I feel like he'd spare her if he could. Maybe she tries to attack Rook and co. in one last hurrah or something.

Anyway, obligatory Emmrook hurt/comfort, since he'd probably be real sad after offing his former bestie (especially if it happened like in the concept art).

She got better.

(Part 1? lol)This got more ridiculous than I intended but here we are, a little rujinu aquarium date shenanigan inspired by @galaxyspeaking ‘s great aquarium date concept! I have a part 2 sketched out that’s more romantic and sappy but we’ll see if and when I get to it 🐠
