not really an ask so much as a THANK YOU because your art single handedly made me feral about Ryza and Bos as a ship so just ty for making your art

*looks up from editing BooRai fic to see this message*

Th-thank you.....

Really though, thank you so much for the kind words!! 🥰The BooRai fandom outside of Japan is teeny tiny, so my BR art doesn't get as much feedback/shares as my other fandoms. There aren't many of us writing fics (and at time of posting I think I'm the only one doing visual art 😭) with only a precious handful of people responding to our work. In most ways I love and prefer being part of a small fandom because it feels more like a tight community, but it gets a little lonely sometimes.

What I'm trying to say is: I do these drawings for myself and my own joy first and foremost, but it still gives me a huge boost every time someone tells me that it made them happy! This ship is endlessly special to me so I'm delighted to hear that my doodles helped you enjoy these two 💛💙

A slightly belated birthday gift to my beloved friend @runicmagitek !! Thank you for always supporting my work and feeding my creativity these past couple of years. Times have been tough, but your kindness and enthusiasm never fail to inspire me to keep making things. I especially treasure our mutual gushing and headcanon story chats.

This drawing was inspired by our exchanged doodles, scribbles, and headcanons of an 80s roller rink AU. 🛼🪩💕 If only there were enough hours in the day to bring ALL of our little ideas to life! Time passes and life gets busy, but I'm grateful for all the little things we've been able to make and share with each other. No matter how small a fandom is, one friend can make it feel huge 💛💙

Today it's been 3 years since I got into this series, and there are no words to describe how much it's given me. 💛

I believe this was the last drawing I did of Momo during her life.

I can't believe I never shared this Kurken Island currency that I designed last year. Honestly I was going through so much at that time, I forgot about this as soon as it was done and didn't remember until right now. I think I avoided sharing it because of a few minor mistakes, but they don't seem like such a big deal now. Maybe I'll go over this digitally and fix it up, and add some color.

But for now, here you go!! Cole notes of the future, featuring our favorite problematic dad. Personally I wouldn't want these things in actual circulation, but Moritz certainly would. Oh well, let the rich weirdo play with his monopoly money.

Howdy.

Some of you may already know this, but for me 2024 was... a lot.

My mental health steadily declined during the years I was in college, as I made school a priority over everything else in my life. Then last year, my whole world imploded and so did my brain.

I let myself take a break to heal, but in the end I called off school entirely. During my recovery from numerous traumatic losses, my healing has been complicated by world events and local catastrophes. I'm currently focusing most of my energy on medical procedures that I may not have access to in the coming years, as well as taking care of my household.

Basically, for the past few years I haven't been able to make art or writing a priority, no matter how much I want to. There's just been too much going on. Things are changing little by little, sometimes good and sometimes bad. I'm barely starting to feel like myself again, but it's still rough. Regardless, I want to dedicate more time to completing and sharing my work.

I have dozens of near-finished pieces and hundreds of other WIPs that I've all but abandoned over the past few years, as well as finished pieces that I never shared because of minor flaws. I want to start sharing more of them. Even if they're not perfect. The pursuit of perfection has been so detrimental to my productivity and is ultimately the result of self esteem issues related to academia and disability. But the more I see A/I slop smeared all over the place the more I realize that human imperfection is crucially important to display and behold.

I don't know how quickly I'll get the big projects posted, since I still have to polish them off and prep them for social media. But I have a handful of little sketches and doodles and studies that I can share in the meantime.

I'm not even sure why I'm making this statement, if I'm apologizing or seeking validation or what. I just thought I'd explain why my art blog has been so quiet lately, and express how much I want that to change. Hiding my work just reinforces my insecurity, and I need to allow myself to share even if I'm scared. I'm tired of being private about the little bits of joy that I create, however small they may be.

Either way, thank you to everyone who has been supportive while I've been suffering. You have no idea how much of an impact your kindness has had on my mental health. 💙

A commission for Danny! He was an absolute pleasure to work with, and that made this piece so much more fun to draw. Goromi says support transmasc visibility🏳️‍⚧️💖

I wanted to do another comic but I haven't had time 🥲 Oh well!

This scene is fairly late in TDPOF. Ryza went to bed having completely forgotten about her own birthday... but Bos certainly did not!!! What did he get her??!! You will find out eventually. ⏳
