Hi! Not sure if anyone will read this, but I wanted to give an update about where I am, both artistically and in my general life…
On November 15th, 2024 my dog, Luka, died. He’d been deteriorating from degenerative myelopathy for almost two years. Watching him struggle was devastating, losing him is even worse. Luka came to me when he was 8 weeks old, and he was right beside me for almost 14 years. He was truly a one of a kind dog and I am heartbroken over his loss.
At the end of last year, my daughter was born. She’ll be turning 1 years old in a week. She is so sweet, adorable, silly, well-behaved and quite independent. She is perfect, everything I had hoped for for so long. I am grateful every day for her.
Between taking care of my daughter and taking care of my ailing dog, drawing was put to the wayside for the last year. It’s disappointing, but it is what it is. I’m tired. I do hope to get back into drawing soon, but… my heart just isn’t in it right now.
I am working on new game projects consistently and I am making assets for them, so some art is happening, just not anything that’s ready to show. Progress is slow because my daughter is my priority, but I code almost every day. The hope is that in the future when all my new systems are coded, I can reuse them from project to project so I won’t have to code as much and I can focus more on art and production. Let me tell you, toiling in the coding mines every day is a real slog.
I’d like to use this blog for occasional updates about my game projects and other random creative things I’m working on, plus life updates if anything worth sharing happens! Thanks for stopping by, I really appreciate it.
