All about that Jojo

Been meaning to post an update but it’s been awkward times all around and I’ve actually been really busy with a Storyboarding job for months so haven’t actually had decent time to draw for myself. I do hope you’re all hanging on, staying safe, wearing a mask, and being excellent to each other and yourselves. ♥

In a moment I’m going to post some pages from the latest comic I was working on but that I won’t be finishing, but first I wanted to actually address my absence and the future of this blog, before creating expectations with an art post. Going straight to the point, I need to stray away from drawing Jojo. I don’t think this means I’ll never draw anything related to it again, and the Jojo + cars book might still happen although I won’t be doing anything for it while I’m busy with work, but whilst I loved spending these past few years amongst all of you lovely people in the fandom, drawing Jojo 95% of the time is not healthy for me as an artist and whatever future I might be able to achieve in my career. I think the way my posts became more and more scarce with time was telling of this, but I was kinda in denial that I wanted to go and do something else. Admittedly, it became really overwhelming. Towards the end I often felt like I was drawing to make sure I didn’t disappoint others rather than just draw because I wanted to, and this is obviously not on anyone other than myself, but it was very intimidating at times. I hope I didn’t make it weird for anyone; you’ve all been nothing but wonderful and your love has meant the world to me and really did keep me going at times nothing else did.

Jojo came into my life at a very dark time and it hit that ‘this is what I need’ spot head on. Even Josuyasu was an escapism at the end of the day; a way for me to express, not romantic stuff, but just the concept of genuine love and trust between people, because I was certainly lacking that in my life. But I’ve fortunately managed to distance myself from certain people and have since moved on from them, and so now when I think about Jojo and Josuyasu, it’s sweet but I just don’t feel that same level of attachment anymore.

Anyway, didn’t mean to overdramatize this lmao... Just that after running a blog dedicated to a fandom for a few years in a row, and gathering as much of a following as I appear to have over here, both things I never thought I would or could ever do, I feel like it’s important to be honest with you all.

Any Jojo art that I may do in the future, I will post it on my main blog and then reblog it to this one. I’ll also post it on my twitter.

I have an account under the same name as this blog but, even though I said I might start posting there some time, at this point I likely won’t as I honestly don’t really use IG at all and that account was just created to communicate with some reposters in the past!

Hey! So sorry, I haven’t taken prompts in a while, but since I’ve had other people send ideas, while I won’t be doing any comic requests anymore, perhaps you’ll see a sketch of this in a future miscellaneous sketches post 💖 (I take the ‘him’ in your Ask is Jotaro, yeah?)
