How are you all? August has been such an up and down for me. Right now I'd say I'm feeling okay-ish, not bad, but also not great. You ever have those phases where you just feel like you want to curl into a cozy ball and just be for a while, without having to be for anyone else? Just needing a bit more alone time than usual. I feel the need to say "please leave me alone" in the gentlest way possible whenever someone enters my room. In one or more ways I have tried to say "I'm not here right now" to my family recently, while being in the same room as them. Sometimes they get it, sometimes they don't really. Andd, well, because I can't be the absolute void creature I want to be irl, I tend to go into hermit crab mode online instead.
Basically, I don't feel like chatting a lot right now. But I'm pretty sure it will balance itself out sooner or later, and there will be a phase where I'm really active again as well.
Apart from that I'm currently trying to take care of things I couldn't take care of in August due to 2nd vaccine dose aftermath. And I've been playing a lot of GW2 in my free time 🐲!
I'm pretty happy with how the next scenes are coming along, too 🌻 I think learning to let go of my perfectionism has been one of the best improvements for my drawing skills, because it really helps me to progress and not work on the same panel for longer than needed (there's this German word "verschlimmbessern" and it means to make something worse while you try to make it better, so, disimprove? and i'll try to keep this in mind whenever i want to go back and fix a panel. it helps a lot to save time, and actually it just makes me appreciate how the panels turn out in general)
I'm in the sketching phase for scene 52 and storyboarding scene 53 right now and I think there will be a lot of interesting things for you to discover! There will be many background panels as well, and I love to paint in foliage and eerie scenery and I can't wait to work on it in detail
thank you so much for your patience with me and for your ongoing support !! 💙

Thank you for the update! 🌺 "Försämmerbättra" is what it would end up like in my language - it's not a word, yet, but if I start using it maybe it catches on! 😅

Verschlimmbessern is such an interesting concept! I totally understand what you mean. Interesting too that German has a word for it but not English nor French (google translate says it’s “to worsen” or “aggraver” in French, but I don’t think either of those words include the concept of making it worse **while trying to make it better**) 🤔 (sorry I’m a total nerd when it comes to language)
