hi! uhh- long time no see?

sorry for going MIA. i am still alive. christmas time just got hard and the feeling of doom as i watched the days pile got overwhelming.

so, i wanted to do an update on my a ghoul a day series. i will state the inevitable right away: i have decided to end it. skip to the end if you're not interested in the explanation why.

[first of all, i truly loved it. it gave my days a purpose, challenged my creativity and allowed me to interact with fellow ghesties here. your kind reactions fueled my determination and i refused to give up on my goal to finish it.

however, the goal i set got... well, unrealistic in a way. you see, if i had an exact date to reach, it probably wouldn't stress me out that much. but i won't be able to make it to any of the places where the european tour's rituals will be held so far. yes, maybe there will be more, but a maybe is too much of a liability for me right now.

second of all, i struggle with chronic pain, therefore it's hard to draw for prolonged periods of time. dedicating my "drawing window" to a ghoul a day essentially meant giving up on other art projects. you can probably imagine that this fact did not make me very happy as i love to express myself through art.

and third of all, i created the whole series to overcome my fear of other people's judgement. but this once empowering activity turned into a chore as i crawled out of my shell. it served its purpose; there's no need to make it longer :)]

i will be posting more of those silly little guys, just not every single day. i would also love to make more ghoul headcanons. and peek into other fandoms as well. who knows.
