Hey heey heeeey. Just checking in on this blog for any potential followers or lurkers wondering why there hasn't been any posts since last year. I didn't die lol. Have one cropped, extremely HD for no other reason that I forgot to export it in lower resolution, WoW art in the meantime while I explain why I dipped.

This blog started as a means for me to get back into art. I never intended to build any sort of following, big or small, so I didn't care about numbers etc. For years I had xkit installed and because of it, I never realised that people actually looked and interacted with the stuff I did. That isn't to say that I was ignorant, I saw that some posts got more notes than others but I just never realised at what scale since my dashboard was scrubbed from any sort of interraction. So in 2021 when I saw a notification in my inbox I was kinda like "wtf who would message me" and I opened the inbox and saw a load of inquiries about my posts from various people over a long span of time. It was honestly shocking and made me feel so bad that I'd let so many asks go ignored. I was fully unaware that people had been asking, and I still don't know how that one message got through. That's how the FAQ was born. But essentially what that realization did was make me very much aware of how people interracted with the posts I made and instead of just posting whatever I felt like, I started to curate and plan ahead of what I wanted to show. On top of the anxiety of posting things I thought people would like instead of just posting wHatEVER, the rise of AI, other hobbies taking priority, less free time in general, keeping up with the blog wasn't feasible for me anymore. And honestly, since I've started to draw again because it's fun without the unresonable feeling of "gotta have a banger on the blog because if I don't I'm a bad person" hanging over me, it's hard for me to come back. I just like drawing and enjoying it without the added pressure. And I'm very much aware that this blog doesn't have ONE MILLION FOLLOWERS so in the grand scheme of things it doesn't really matter that I abanodend ship. But I'm still a person who have a lot of thoughts and even leaving 50 followers without saying something would feel bad. I personally hate when people just dip online because I get worried about them and keep thinking about them years after. I felt it would be good for me personally just to write something out, even if it's just for my own peace of mind.

Take care ya'll! Maybe I'll see u here again but probably not

tl;dr performance gives me anxiety, me no post no more

#this is the draft

Hi just wanted to say that I adore all your artwork! I see you haven't updated in a while, hope you're still enjoying and making art. I love the design of your femshep the most! I feel her face is familiar, is there an actress you based her look on?

Hii thank you! <3 I actually wrote a draft some time ago I just never got around to post to explain the abscence, so I might just upload that. Amber Rose Revah was my main inspiration while making my fshep but I think a lot of other got mixed in there as well!

They’re just prepping him for the winter palace

A small but semi-important disclaimer that really only matters to me but I wanted to make for people who care about this:

When I started to play DAI, I originally wanted to play as something other than human or elf. But due to how the game is set up, I couldn’t play the character the way I wanted, so I opted to play as a human. But after finishing the game I thought that an elven Inquisitor who was waaay out of her depths was much more fun and more interesting so I made my canon Inquisitor Lavellan. So that meant I was left with this developed human character I didn’t want to abandon, and now I just sorta roll with the fact that Trevelyan’s hanging around in the background. It kinda works out though because I can put her in situations that I can’t with Lavellan.

TL,DR Trevelyan is not Inquisitor in my game, she’s just some random npc. Also while we’re at explaining things, appearance wise I almost always play default male Garrett Hawke so he’s pretty much canon in my playthrough
