I have something to tell you, my loving and adoring fanbase of ten people.
So, a few weeks ago, someone on my Discord server told me that real people RPs make them uncomfortable, especially when the person is bent and twisted to have a completely different personality. I immediately thought about you guys on Wattpad, and I realized that I've been doing that exact same thing with RiSK for years and years, and it's probably not the best thing to do considering that these are all real, living people.
After that little moment I had with that member of my server, I decided to stop doing real people RPs for a while as well as stop drawing RiSK until I could bring myself to do it again. It's a really weird feeling, trust me - I'd be in the mood to do a RiSK RP or draw something for that AU, but my brain would tell me "No, you shouldn't do that, that's wrong". And so I don't.
Am I retiring the RiSK AU? No, absolutely not. That AU has a very deep and special place in my heart, and to scrap it entirely would be devastating to me. However, I'll probably be drawing RiSK a lot less. I can probably still bring myself to RP, though, as long as it's totally in private.
TL;DR - I got called out for the way I RP with real people, so I'm considering the way you guys might feel and I'll be drawing and posting RiSK related stuff a lot less now.
With that out of the way, there will be art in this chapter as usual. Unfortunately, there is no RiSK art in this art dump, so I apologize if that's what you're into. These are some of my personal favorite drawings I've done from my New Year's resolution to make a new drawing every single day.
Here's what I did on January 1st: a quick doodle of one of my OCs, Clark. Remember him?
Isn't he cute? I love his smile and his little blushy cheeks, I love Clark so much <3
This was my drawing on January 4th: something several months in the making that I finally got around to finishing, thanks to a break from school and a new motivation for some reason.
His eyeeeesssssssss
I'm definitely most proud of this drawing, out of everything I've posted on my art account this year. This was an experiment with Frankenstein-ing references and using a somewhat realistic style that definitely paid off.
On January 8th I did a little doodle of my homegirl Luna, my main OC:
I swear, I've been in literally the BIGGEST OC kick in the past few weeks. I somehow found the motivation to write two different backstories in both of her separate universes (RSK and Gorillaz). I'll post them at some point once they're finished.
And lastly, on January 15 (yesterday), I finally caved in, gave into my primal instincts, and drew Karl again. It's not RiSK, though, but it works for me.
I know I'm technically not supposed to call someone who could literally be my dad "cute", but I think I drew him pretty adorably. It only took me 15 days to draw Karl, wow.That's all I have for right now. Feel free to let me know how you feel about RPing with real people - this is my first time actually hearing someone tell me they're uncomfortable with it. Have a good three day weekend to my America friends, and as for everyone else, have a good two day weekend.

Art Because Drawing Is Cool
RandomI draw Ricky, Steve, and Karl a lot so I'm finally doing an art book. I'll try to update it a lot, but I can already tell that school and stuff like that will be a burden. I hope you like my art! :)
