Two years since being here. Not much has happened in my own life, but a whole lot has happened in the world. Just wow..
I don't really have an explanation for why I stopped being active here. I had a major depressive episode, but even after it cleared I just....never came back. I've been semi-active on Instagram though, so I'm most likely going to start by posting the little art I have made here too. For starters.
I was actually pretty sure I would drop art completely at one point. I even gave my drawing table away, thinking I would have no need for it anymore. Possibly ever. So now I work solely traditional... it's been pretty refreshing actually.
I hope everyone can stay as positive as they can during these times of uncertainty. Take care!

The mess that is my life
3 min read
Hi.
It's... Been forever. Again. It seems disappearing for weeks, even months from online is kind of what I do.
On the side note, happy 101st birthday Finland 🇫🇮!
Things have been messy, things have been difficult, and things... Have resolved for the time being. I hope I'll be a much more stable person in the upcoming year of 2019,since 2018 was an emotional mess for me personally.
Long story short, I got through most my finals, I'm actually quite proud I got a C from mathematics! It's huge for me who was waiting for a straight up I (I is equivalent to F or 4) This is especially big considering during finals and having to study I was practically homeless, dealing with a lot of emotional stress from being abandoned. But at the same time, I was happy to get even closer to my friends who helped me out, and gave me a couch to crash in for weeks.
It took me 3 weeks to find a place to call my home, I slept on a mattress for another month or so. But it was good. Money was tight, which was a concern I had never had to worry about before... But here I was. Paying my own rent, getting through school and paying bills. Adult stuff.
Heh, I wouldn't consider 18 an adult, I'm still a childish, needy, impatient brat on the inside. But maybe someday I'll mature up a bit more.
Now I'm sorry for everyone who have contacted me and I've fully ignored you. I'm finally getting myself to a psychologist to deal with all the mental crap. My reduced self worth, my constant struggle to get things done and overall the feelings of "nothing matters and I'm not good enough". I'm working on it, but I'm intending to come back here again.
To pay my bills and rent, I don't want to be a strain on my government and rely on the financial support they give. So I recently got a job. I've been working 22 days as a cleaning lady, and this week I started to work in fabric-maintenance. (Basically I make sure those towels you get in public bathrooms and such are clean and without tears.)
Im back in good terms with my mother, but I'm not going to move back with her. I'm getting more independent and I'm not going to take steps back.
So.. Thigns are looking up. School is fine, I have a home of my own, and now a job. I don't think I have much to complain about anymore. Thankyou for staying here, and I'm happy to be back with doing art for myself!
I hope this time, I won't run off so quickly.

Works in progress!

So despite the fact I aspired to make more traditional art this time around,
I recently remembered after such a long time of not doing art at all..why I mainly worked in digital:
I simply don't have enough space in my home to comfortably make traditional art.

So back to digital it is! And here are two works in progress I wanted to show you guys!
Yesterday I started on the sorceress piece. As you can tell I'm very excited about Spyro, Reignited trilogy coming up this year and I hope it'll be just as amazing as we think it will be. Of course it won't be flawless, but still! The inspiration for the sorceress came from the bigger spyro-fanart piece, since she was left out of that one.
On the other hand there's Grundhilda! I recently got into Dungeons and Dragons with my friend who has the game, and she's the half-orc girl I've been playing as. Despite the fact she has pretty good starter stats... I have extremely bad luck with dicerolls with her.
So it became her trade-mark almost that she has plenty potential, but really bad skills.
Aside from these two, I am still working on the palette challenge, and it's coming to an end! How ever...
since some of the palettes were done in 2015 (wow I've been doing this challenge for 3 years already??)
I want to rework them. One of them is already finished, but I have sketched out most I want to re do.
I would greatly appreciate some feedback! So please do comment on some of the sketches provided here!

Check out this cool raffle/contest!

<da:thumb id="743399104"/>
Drawing is optional, and that's something really sweet in my opinion! I chose to draw a little something, but you don't have to if you want a chance to win.

Hey! As you probably saw, I made an entry to a contest just a moment ago! It took me 3 days to work on, and I'd love to share the contest itself here:
It's a great opportunity if you want to win some nice prices while practising your art skills on interesting characters!
My entry:
Draw My Character CLOSEDWinners have been announced!
This is a "draw my character" contest, which means that to participate, you'll pick one of the characters (will be humans, anthro and canines (feral) to choose from!!) listed below and draw them, and after some time has passed we'll pick some winners! I will be judging alongside two of my IRL friends so that the contest is not gonna be biased. Everyone, no matter your "skill" or whatever, is invited to join and all have a chance of winning some sweet prizes.
You are allowed to draw as many of my characters as you'd like, and join as many times as you'd like. Each drawing counts as an individual entry and will all be judged seperately, which means that a person technically can win more than one prize.
Prizes:
The prizes will be a mix of USD/points (winner can choose) and art by a few people I really adore and have handpicked mys
