Keep your chin up, Follow your instincts, And always bet on yourself.

Hey just wanted to let you know you're awesome and as big of a fan I am of you and your art I really hope that you're taking care of yourself and not feeling obligated to do fandom things! I just hope you're still having fun and letting things go at your pace rather than what other people ask for. You're wonderful and clever and I hope I get to meet you at a convention again!
Hey anon! No worries on that front. I get caught up in fandom things a lot, but I try and make a pretty good practice of recognizing that and then stepping back and reassess that I’m still having fun with it. I’ve had a few weeks with Critical Role in particular that I tried to go a little silent on for just that reason.
As for taking care of myself in the general sense... I’m working on that one. I know this is an old message, but I can at least say that I’m doing better on that front now than I was when this was sent.
Thank you for the message! I feel a bit bad that I may have posted and said something that would cause worry enough to send it in the first place, but I appreciate it all the same!

I realized I was a fool the other day about what my next tattoo would be. I KNEW it was going to be Pacific Rim related, and I had THOUGHT it’d be some sort of neat geometric rendition of Otachi’s tongue that would wrap around my forearm, but then I remembered... Newt has tattoos. What if I just got one of Newt’s tattoos, but with Otachi instead.
And thus I am content, and sometime soon I will do more than a 30 minute edit on top of my existing Newt tattoos template.
#i don't really want to main tag this#or put it on an art blog#i might delete later even#i just don't want anyone else taking the idea T_T

hi amanda ! did you draw your icon yourself ? it really reminds me of something i saw on dA like 10 years ago, but i'm not sure
I did! It’s an old old doodle, so it’s ENTIRELY POSSIBLE that you are remembering it from dA!

‘Tis done! First tattoo, with some nerdy shit that I adore. (Now I can plan the Otachi based one, because THAT one was going to be in color and a bit more complex. Wanted to be sure I could handle it.)
