Is there a chance in the foreseeable future that your BigCartel will open again? I would love to support you!
Hi anon!!
Most definitely, as I love creating new things whether for myself or for fandom! Though I'm honestly not sure when I will reopen my store as I tend to do it in batches and specific time periods ranging from two weeks to a month. Then I take the time to focus on fulfilling the specific shop batch. (i am only one person so there's only so many brain cells I have)
A lot of work has been picking up for me lately, as well as events I've been planning towards (I'm aiming for SMASH this year) and I've been shortlisted for Kuala Lumpur Illustration Festival! So a lot of this year is me running around trying to plan as best as my ADHD disorganized riddled brain is capable of being.
I also applied for Jakarta Illustration Fair (in November) but that remains to be seen if I get shortlisted!
Regardless, thank you for asking! If ever open up shop again, I will definitely post updates on tumblr, Instagram, twitter, on as many socmed sites I'm active on! I have an INPRNT store that's also under '4threset' if you'd like to support me and am also on ko-fi!
Thank you for your love for my work and wanting to support me. Truly without folks like you I wouldn't be where I am today. Know that my love and appreciation is as all-encompassing as the Higgs Boson!

Will you ever do any more comics about your WoL? I loved reading them, and while I've given up my dream of being a comic artist, I still love to read them
Hi there!! Honestly, in the immediate future, not very likely as I've been pushing extremely hard to focus on my visual identity as an illustrator to get into Illustration fairs lately.
But that doesn't mean I don't want to! It's mostly because I've fallen off ffxiv (as one does with fandoms occasionally!) I suspect Dawntrail would reignite some ideas within me and draw more.
Also, a lot of my WoL Telios comics were drawn when I was working a stable 9 to 5 job, so drawing them were my hobbies outside of work. Since going full-time freelance, I've had less time to think about doing them; ; I do want to draw more! But this year I am pushing very hard on a few fronts in my work, so that has to be put on the back burner.
Also OP, art is a long, lonely, and tiring journey. I know more than anyone how exhaustive and draining it is. "Do what you love and you never work a day in your life" is simply untrue. It ends up warping what you love into work and makes it hard to draw that line between what is work and what is enjoyment.
I hope you find that spark to create comics again, not for work or for anyone, but for yourself primarily first and foremost. Find like-minded folks to draw with, read comics that make you *feel* alive again. For me that has been "Frieren" and "Dungeon Meshi".
Art will and always will be subjective, it's shaped by each unique person and their background and upbringing. So I cannot say what it is to you or what you can or should do. That would be hubris and ego on my part. This is why I believe teaching art is always so difficult especially in big class settings, because of varying views and ways of appreciation for it. I hope you find what you need to find that sparkl again anon.
All my love!

Hello! I've made 'The Water Rabbit' available as a pay-what-you-want on itch.io! It contains two pages of extra word vomit that I wish I knew how to express better. Any and all payments for The Water Rabbit will be donated to local nonprofit mental health awareness organizations!
Thank you!

Hey are you still working on "The Witch's Bakery?" That comic has a special place in my heart, and I got back to it now and then on tapastic. Love your art style and the warmth of the story. :)
Hi there friend! Thank you for your love for TWB, it's a special comic to me too and I truly wish I can continue it with all my heart. But unfortunately due to current work circumstances I can't. It's in a weird space right now where I'm pitching it to publishers to have it formally published as a graphic novel, but the state of publishing hasnt been great. On top of not having any formally published works, it's been harder to get a foot into formal comic work. So currently TWB is stuck in pitching and submission limbo, hence it's hiatus. I'm still trying though! Thank you for your love for TWB! It truly is always felt!

"Xuande took a look at the man, who stood at a height of nine chi, and had a two chi long beard; his face was of the colour of a dark zao, with lips that were red and plump; his eyes were like those of a crimson phoenix. He had a dignified air and looked quite majestic."

(anecdote : depending on who you ask, the goat is sometimes referred to as the Sheep or the Ram)

The rabbit came hopping in Fourth place! Having nearly slipped, it grabbed onto a nearby log which the Dragon behind it graciously blew to the finish line!
