oh, mama raised me well

upstairs toilet must have gotten fixed, but the upstairs neighbor also moved out which is eeeh, good and bad. their kids were kinda loud, but they were overall mostly quiet - just music noodled frequently, but they could at least play decently. the downside is that: we're gonna get a new neighbor and it's a gamble on what that might end up being. the majority of individuals have been okay, or at least tolerable, except for that one woman and her children that had to be evicted and then weren't even out of the house when the landlord and the sheriff came down. i wish he wouldn't rent the place out at all, but what can you do

also dreading the inevitable $50/mo rent hike when i need to renew my lease ://// every year i get a meager raise and every year it's eaten up by my rent going up

been trying to draw more - or at least keep busy a little creatively



working on a ref for ancyn (base is by garoline) b/c i saw this base and it has SUCH ancyn vibes, so that was a big bit of inspiration to play around with it. i'm liking how it's coming out so far, at least. gonna add some more stuff to it, i think, as well, and make it more of a full ref sheet like my ally one is



also working on a commission thing~



also also realized i never posted these here?????? glimmer for mitsene (from her webcomic glimmer), cassiopeia for suzanami, and a kailani for me (her anthro destiny version - just straight opossum lol)

got a fit of inspiration at the end of december - AFTER i'd done my 2024 art summary, NATURALLY (which i also realize i haven't posted here lol - there's probably gonna be a bunch of individual art posts after this)

[ click thru for larger ]

did this BEFORE i ended up drawing some stuff at the end of december, so that's why december is blank lol. could i have gone back and added something before posting here? sure. did i? absolutely not

it was a pretty slow year for art, especially with everything going on in my life all fuckin' year long, but i'm quite happy with what i did do, so that counts for something

this won't get any easier now
that your heart is beating in my head
and i've tried not to destroy you baby
although we both know i can
