I couldn't pick just one favorite part of #GJ2023, so I just panicked and stuttered instead

Here's a few highlights though.

Rant below


This year has honestly been huge in so many ways. I became a Creator, made new friends, hit 2,500 followers (already nearly 2,600 now) and have received tons of support from all of you!

I've made some massive strides with GUIDANCE in just the past few months, with some new exciting content on the way.

I earned some money off of what I'm doing for the first time (honestly the first time I've gotten money outside of allowance or gifting, it's embarrassing ik, but true)

I purchased resources for game development with some of that money I earned for myself!

I've done more working with other people this year, both at the start and more recently, than I ever have before; both for worse, and better (Wait I mean- *cough- no, doing anything with Kuno is awful *cough yes yes totally)

(let's just say I had some 'fun' at the start of the year 👀)

I've improved a ton as an artist, grown as a person, and overall, been through a lot.

At the end of it all, I am very glad to have lived through this year, I look forward to living through many more years like it! I have a lot of dreams, but some burn a bit brighter than the others, and I'm planning to run full-steam ahead going into the next year to make those dreams come true! (after I take the next few days to make sure I don't burn out 😅)

I encourage you to do the same. Yes, YOU. Whoever you are. Love yourself, and give your life everything you've got! Just because you're you, and you're here. You've got a life to live so go live it! I know you'll make it something really special, even if just to you.

I know that's what motivates me, so I hope it motivates you as well.

That'll be all from me for now, and as always, remember to follow your heart!

Anyways, WIP of new art for my TTRPG character. Second image is her current art, and third is one of my inspirations for what I went with here (being Rannii from Elden Ring, namely her ghostly other face)

Needless to say Tay's been through a lot.
