Taking a Step Forward

Hey everyone!

I wanted to take a moment to share something with you. Over the past months, I’ve been pushing myself to grow as an artist: studying, watching tutorials, learning from other creators and trying to refine my art in every way I can. Art has always been a huge part of me and I really want to make sure that what I create is something I can be proud of, something that brings joy to those who support me.

But the truth is… I’ve been struggling. Many of you know that I juggle (?) my art with another job and honestly, I feel drained. It’s exhausting to wake up every day knowing that most of my time and energy go into something that doesn’t fulfill me, while my true passion has to take a backseat. I often find myself thinking: What if I could finally dedicate myself fully to art? What if I could take that leap?

I know it’s not something that can happen overnight but I believe it’s time to take little but real steps in that direction. Starting in March, I’ll be introducing a new Patreon tier where I’ll offer half-body colored sketches (no backgrounds) for around €20-30. These sketches will be completed within the same month, so if you’re interested, you’ll need to have your references ready at the beginning of the month to ensure everything runs smoothly.

Throughout February, I’ll be sharing some examples of what you can expect and I'm really looking forward to show you!

I won’t lie, I wanna quit my job and become a full time artist and I know it's hard and it may not happen (cause life is so fucking expensive, what is going on??), but every single one of you has made me feel like this is possible. Your support, your kindness, your belief in my work... it all means more to me than I can put into words. I know I still have a long way to go, but for the first time in a long while, I feel like I’m actually moving forward instead of just dreaming about it.

So, from the bottom of my heart thank you. For being here, for cheering me on, for making this journey feel less daunting and a lot more exciting. I can’t wait to create more art for you and with you. Let’s make this year something special.

With all my love and gratitude,
