Monthly Summary: November 2024

Hello hello!!

This month, I focused all of my energy and time to drawing for Re:Curse! ✨ So almost all posts are about it. They're very snappy and quick previews of what I did, since this is a project I'm drawing for, I don't feel good sharing the full-resolutions of the assets. All Re:Curse related posts are free, but I made them for members-only. ^^

(posts were late, they were mass-published in December, sorry about that!)

(I usually drew OCs for summaries posts, but this time I didn't think about anyone – I just drew without plan. I don't think I will develop this character more for now, but the design is looking so cute!!)

November 2024's Grid View

I used very specific brush and art style which I only did for this project, so it's really special for me! The story is melancholy and bittersweet, so it tugs my heart string reading this. :'D

Here's the link if you want to check it out:

There are some empty days since I was not feeling well and spent most of my time sleeping. >o< I've recovered and was able to finish everything, so all is good!

Using new art style for this was slowing me down by a lot. BUT, I've rediscovered a new excitement of drawing with new brush settings, and that's a really nice feeling!

I'm glad November is done hahaha. I want to make more art for the next month or two before going back to juggling dev stuff again. Not planning to join any jam for the foreseeable future, although I can see that joining jams are sure way to put me on fire: I will get anything done with the power of external deadline. XD

What's next?

For December, I'd like to do the following (not a strict list):

Art stuff

• Pippa VN's mini CGs!
• 2025 wall calendar! (I think I will reuse Pippa VN's mini CG for this!)
• finish the rest of my commissions work!
• an artwork for someone I said I will do! (this is as much as I can say without detailing it >_<)
• Mrs Peregrine VN's 1st year anniversary illustration!

Dev stuff

• Pippa VN's extra graphics and some improvement in sentences!
• continue working on Steam pages... Artbooks for my VNs and more!

I may not be able to finish all of these in a month due to Christmas events and such, but I'm feeling much better now after a whole year of IRL stuff all over the place which I've taken care of.

Others

I can feel that my health overall is improving this month! 💪 Things went a little bit up-and-down recently, but without dismissing the problem, I try my best to face it with a more realistic and positive attitude. I have faith on my body that she can take care of everything that is going on inside, and I think this is the best mindset to stay healthy. I'll eat good food, drink plenty of water, sleep a lot, create many nice things, and consume even nicer things (play VNs and watch anime shows hahaha).

My biggest motivation to be healthy is to be able to create more things. If I'm not working on it, nobody else would (because I will feel bad to ask anyone to do it ahaha 💦). That's a really uplifting sentence to tell myself everyday. ^^

This month's stats:

• Listening to: Mirotic - DBSK (legendary song hahaha)
• Reading:
  • VN: All Scars and Starlight
  • LN: Sand of Snow (I only read when I'm commuting so finishing this book takes a while...)
• Watching: N/A (I genuinely forgot... 😵‍💫)
• Playing: N/A

See you!
