Art-Wise I've spent basically the whole year focusing on pictures, getting rid of little problems in them and trying to make everything look better, though I do feel like that has slowed me down from my usual pace, I still got to submit more stuff than previous year, and the year before, let's hope I can actually get the pace issue fixed as well, since I also hate taking so long between each update of IISY.
This month has been a mix of odd though. A few cool things happened, others were... Pretty fucking terrible. Some days after getting IISY updated I took a bad trip and my glasses shattered, it was a weekend so I had to wait a few days, while they had given me contact lenses in the meantime, my right eyelid had taken some damage and I couldn't keep the lens on without some fucking annoying itch bothering me the whole time (Don't worry, the eyelid thing was nothing serious), this of course making it incredibly annoying when attempting to draw anything. Then my brother, who moved abroad several months ago, came by to visit for a few days, and not only do I have my new glasses waiting, I get sick of the stomach and find out it was acute gastroenteritis, so the few days my brother was here I was barely able to go anywhere and had to eat very specific things. After he had left and while I was recovering my sister contacted me to tell me her father-in-law was organising a dinner on Christmas eve, well, kind of, the thing with my whole direct family, except for my father, is that they're Jehovah Witnesses, and so they don't celebrate Christmas, my sister's father-in-law just happened to have the days free so he gathered some of the family. I was worried I wouldn't be healthy by then, but I did manage to get better, it was so strange, we've really never had a Christmas family dinner, and I guess this doesn't count as a real one, but it was still nice.
All these days I was worried about taking so long to finish the next commission, the one I submitted yesterday, then I got a patreon reward to draw for Christmas, which was the one you could see the 25th, it was indeed nice to have something done for these dates specifically, knowing I would spend a few days away.
I'm... Well, I'm aware I'm a cold person in real life, which is why I understand why my boyfriend decided to break up with me on Christmas eve, I don't really wanna talk about it though, aside from just wishing him the best. I've prefered to focus on my artwork since I came back to my home, after having of course catched some fucking flu. The house is silent, two of my roommates are spending the holidays with their parents, the other doesn't really walks out of his room much.
It's been some cold days, and I guess it'd be easy to summarize the end of the year as being completely miserable, but hey, all I can do is move on and don't stop working, what else would I have otherwise?
This year hasn't been all bad of course, and I do hope for the best for the upcoming year, keep your chin up, I will too, happy new year everyone!
