long time no see

hi! it’s been a bit since I’ve posted an update on things. well, almost a year. let’s go through some things!

what’s mae been doing?

work, mostly. I need monies for things :) and after work, and other obligations, I am usually very tired.

when not work, appointments. yay, cause health important. but hey, finally sorted out my eczema, wahoo! I just have to inject myself with this pen every two weeks for da rest of my litle mae life. honestly? it beats dealing with the eczema.

when not appointments, hanging out on the e621 discord. quite a chill place, actually! consider it if you’re one that wants to try giving public-ish servers a go, and you’re not sure where to start.

when not doing stuff on the discord there, mostly hobbyist urges of various kinds. sometimes, programming! sometimes, gaming! sometimes, cooking (I love to make banana bread)! sometimes I’m just chilling out and watching videos (is that a hobby??). sometimes, I do art stuff as it relates to maeworl! but what’s been happening there?

what’s been going on maeworl wise?

uh, let’s chuck it out in some dotpoints:

• lots of random ass WIPs that are neat, but I’m sorta meh about continuing with. why? I guess I’m sorta tired of drawing porn over and over, maybe? dunno. it can also be the whole thing of, not wanting to touch things after I’ve left them alone for a long time. I can probably get back into it if I bother, or if a really excellent opportunity to shitpost comes along, but I’m focused on other things right now. but who knows???? maybe I’ll suddenly surprise you, it’s fun to do that! not good retention wise, but oh well!
• lots of progress being made on the lotten webcomic! this is what I’m really focused on when it comes to art as of late, and what’s been an actual daily thing for me! waow! whether I’m doing actual drafting of the comic, or I’m doing worldbuilding and research and writing, I’m chipping away at it often, and having fun! it’ll still be a while until you see the results of my efforts, but I thank you for sticking around!
• a brand new maeworl website up, right now! no bullshit! no “I’m working on a new site!” mae procrastination, just an actual website already available, right now! go check it out! it’s uh, pretty similar to the existing site, but spruced up, and thanks to Hugo, I won’t die each time I have to add a new thing on there! there’s now unique posts for each artwork, with accompanying description and licensing info! how convenient! the character pages have been spruced up too, and from there you can also access post listings specific to certain characters! waow! the site should be a touch more responsive on mobile devices too!

I think that’s about it? yeah. still alive, as usual! hope you’ve all been well :D more shit at some point!
