2025 had its ups and down as every year does, but some things I was VERY happy with was my consistency and fun with streaming (I think I've gotten way more in the flow with things and more confident), my ability to kinda let-loose and just have more fun with my art, and I was very happy with the projects I made!

The worst part artistically of 2025 was The Selection. This was the first time I genuinely hated working on my comic and found the process absolutely torturous. I never want to hate my projects, so going into 2026 I'm going to take a step back from it and reassess how to work on it going forward. I think I need to approach it less strictly and be a little looser with it. I'm not sure. But regardless, TS will not die by any means, but I will be taking my time with it as I figure out what to do! I will certainly update it again this year, but I can't say how much. Perhaps only one batch like in 2025, but hey, anything is better than nothing! This means I WILL be restructuring my Patreon coming up soon. Mostly just relabeling tiers and such. It's been a long time coming.

For 2026, my focus is going to be on two big things:

- Merch creation. I would like to either dabble back into the convention scene OR open an online shop in 2027. So I'd like to build up merch this year for that as the only merch I have atm is old-ass stuff from 2017! 

- New comic: Call Me Master. This comic is really helping me regain my love for comics again, and I've been thoroughly enjoying it! It's a very casual comic, but one that has been teaching me a lot. I look forward to sharing it in 2026!

Other things I'd like to continue working on is my Daddy Issues fanfics, which have done wonders helping me explore myself and my creativity, and smaller fun things like some animation memes I've had sitting around rotting LMAO 

Everything else will be about the same as usual! Streams will continue. Commissions will continue. Shenanigans will continue. Good stuff! Thanks for joining me!

It was the Year of Dyo but I tried not to pick him for EVERY month lol Here is a lil breakdown:

January: Gotta throw in TS to prove I haven't given up!! February: A fun trade I think might be one of my favs of the year! March: This piece isn't very artistic, but I just LOVE how I captured Dyo here. April: I worked 500 billion hours on this so obviously it needs to shine! May: Rendering meat kinda fun ngl! June: Tarot Cards hit hard this year! I really enjoyed this one! July: It was hard picking a single image for Art Fight, but this one really spoke to me! August: While I definitely love this image, apparently the internet liked it even more than I did! It was my most liked image this year apparently! September: This image makes me feel things in a lovestruck way that makes me wanna cry. October: This image makes me feel things in a way I'd get banned for describing. November: More Tarot Cards! December:  AnUTHA one! November-December were the biggest struggles due to my day job sucking the life out of me, but I'm still very happy with these!
