Wait... How many of us are still on this platform?
Actually... I've already shifted platforms. I try to post some works once in a blue moon though.
The main reason is simple: I refuse to pay a single cent to be able to schedule my artwork when I can easily do the same on Facebook and Instagram (which has WAY, WAY more foot traffic) for free.
On another note, I am giving art requests on my Facebook page. If you're prepared to wait, you will get it probably in time... probably a few months. Cute OC animals get more love, but will do human OCs too if I have time.

Reflections towards 2020
2019 has been a rough year for me. My dad, who turns 88 next year in May, has been taking up a lot of expenses. And my husband isn't contributing much, and I still need to contribute to his parents as well... so my pay need to support three people fully (including myself), and another 3 people partially (husband and in laws).
I current work as a violin teacher, supplementing my income with selling artwork and a bit of investments here and there, but when one has so many adults to feed...
Honestly, if it weren't for my favourite artists (who are still using this platform, I would have quit deviantart a long time ago, because I still need to PAY to schedule artwork on a dying platform, where I can schedule works on Facebook, Youtube and Instagram for FREE.

I deeply appreciate every comment and birthday wish (which I just read like TODAY). Thank you for your views, support etc.
So to thank you, watchers, for your continued support, I'd like to thank you with thank you sketches. And if your character inspires me, I may do a full CG work for you
Besides, I need to post more regularly on my Youtube Channel. My activity has been highly unstable..
TO QUALIFY
1. You'll need to be one of my watchers.
2. Simply post your character ref on this journal right here and I'll get to work asap.
Thank you all. Looking forward to seeing your posts.
Finally found time to take up Manga drawing more seriously. Too bad the teacher wants me to start from level 1. I thought I could start from level 3 or something.
Still, the inspiration I got in class helped me to improve a lot more than I expected
After I finish level 1, I will get to go to level 2.
Can't wait to reach level 20 haha
This class does not improve drawing style at level 1. I wonder if it will. But maybe that comes with practise..
