Well over a year ago I had a list of apprentices I wanted to draw for the arcana. These should have been done w a y before now--- but I lost a lot of motivation in heaps since the start of 2018. 

My last bit of progress with the apprentice list I had for this request post was something I made in early 2018. Then I sketched pieces throughout February. It wasn’t until May that I got into the mood (and had time because of summer break) to do the art digitally. But none of the things looked satisfying to me, so I scrapped a lot of works to start over. The summer and fall/winter period was busy for me with a lot of unforeseen personal and familial challenges and events that affected me. I wasn’t ready for a lot of what happened and I really don’t think that I have come to terms with a lot. Or even processed it.

I am sorry for the unreasonably long and pretty much explanation-less wait I made people experience. I think I should have made a more direct, explicit post stating that these things would be on hold for an indefinite amount of time, or something at least. A major problem/mistake I made when taking these on was the amount of requests I got and then me overestimating how much energy I would have to follow through with them all. 

Since then, I hope that my art has at least improved some. I’d like to try and continue making progress with this list. I know very well that since the time I made it, some people could have moved on because a lot of things happened since then. Even so, I hope that I can still just like, I gain more experience from drawing apprentices that are not my own, you know?
