I feel it, I'm starting to get burnt out too but only for comic pages specifically
There's just so much else I want to work on and I'm just making myself do comic pages so I can keep the thing going
But I still want to draw a lot like usual

So many artists I know (like strangely multiple) have just suddenly disappeared/gone on an extended break these past few weeks
It sucks kinda
I won't be going anywhere anytime soon (Though I may take a day or two after my dentist thing coming up soon. I also might not take a break.)

Also
Please do not ship my characters
Hana and Aki were platonic friends when they were still in the human world. Nothing more than that.

I tried installing it again
The amount of menus is very overstimulating I think that's why tcg pocket didnt work for me

(I started a new account cause my old one didnt have much and i think i wanted to play as the girl wait huh who said that)

I'm saying yeah I like this place too and I just want it to keep doing well
I've made so many art friends on here

Recently I've been hearing rumors this site might be starting to go downhill...I wish this place was able to stick around, I don't get nearly as much support on the bird app :(

Yeah not a lot of new users lately but I hear the higher ups are doing some things that the rest of us don't like and on Twitter I see a lot of Bluesky slander

SprigaYoshi 🌌✨️ @sprigayoshi.bsky.social · 2d

Like, a lot of dumb decisions have been being made recently I guess

A Sandshrew is looking up confused at a Skarmory flying by. Mt. Chimney and the cable car can also be seen in the background.

I did listen to it a couple of times while working on this for added effect

I love random silly details

The first time I've ever drawn a Skarmory, I think it looks a bit off and its another one of the sharper designs that doesn't translate to my round soft style very well (first Sandshrew I've drawn and it came out better I think. Oh and yes sure I'll do a few of these prompts when I feel like it :3)

In a more lighthearted note, today is Aki's birthday! I created his design a year ago today, on October 8th. Actually, his design isn't that far off from what it turned into, besides a small hair tuft and a LOT of artstyle improvement.
The left is the first time I ever drew him

Original concept sketch from October 8th, 2024

Recent drawing of him from this September

There's family struggles, too...
Maple wants to leave home in the forest to join the Guild one day but her older sister is concerned that she'll be in danger with being away from home on her own, after losing both of their parents years ago.

Also, like with work, drawing and me wanting to play console games I'm barely gonna have any time to play so I might end up only doing a couple matches a day. Ugh, I'm tempted but there's a lot working against me

Tempted to get back into Unite tbh, I havent played since autumn 2021
Am I gonna be overwhelmed by all the new stuff? Are the microtransactions worse than they used to be?
I might start a new account completely, the old one had a stupid nickname

It is, I remember whipping that concept up after finishing up a different drawing that same night
It was only right about then that I learned how to make grass look decent, lol

I don't think I ever explained the backstory behind their parents (a Flareon and a Sylveon)
They were experienced adventurers/treasure hunters, and one day they learned about a mysterious treasure on a faraway island and went for it. But they never came back. What exactly happened is still unclear.

I would open it sooner but I need to draw emotes lol
I know it's optional and my old server never had emotes for those who are in there, but they're a nice touch that I'd like to have...the new server is already feeling a lot more immersive I think
