hello again everyone! it's nice to hear from you and read you comments, even if they are mostly replies to my own comments most of the time.

hello new watchers! thank you for finding me and finding my art worthwhile to keep around on your feeds! finding time for new output is a struggle right now, but I'm so happy to have you all watching me :3

the main progress right now is me getting acclimated to life on my own, and life in college. these two being separate things I've come to fully realize only in the past couple of weeks (and for me that's short time seems like three times as long!). memories keep surfacing of my hometown, of my family and friends, if places I've lived and met people and had adventures. huge nostalgia whiplash. this, on top of learning "how to college" have been ruling my life for the past months. it was only September when I moved out, and it seems so short but it took such a long time. my feelings on opening into a new life unfold day by day, into the next. it would be very exciting if I wasn't so STRESSED aha with college work and things. getting used to handling that in my own is going to be a forever project u _u

due to this huge personal investment I have been SOMEWHAT NEGLECTING ART ahhhhh! I have stores and concepts and techniques I want to practice! how do I make time to do that! how do I make time to do commissions! how do I put my work out there for people to appreciate and maybe partake in! those are the questions I am shouting with exclamation marks at myself. oh time will tell. I said that I might put up commission examples to open for inks and sketches las weekend: that find happen because work. work work work. so: I'm gonna try for this weekend, if I don have family coming down to say hi, to put up a couple examples so people can see what they'd get if they commissioned me. lets see if I can do this! I think I'm figuring out a pattern to follow. lets hope it sticks.

much love and respect and best wishes,

Mika "Lychee" F
