Never Lose Passion

Sorry to bother you about this, I just wanted to say, I think your covers look amazing!!
          
          Are you using more than one tool?

Sigues viva? Espero que si

How strange… to now be 25 years old, when I truly don’t feel any different lol

It’s nice to reminisce looking back at this account… Apologies for not keeping promises, but I always had a bad habit of doing that. I’m still alive and writing, even if it’s not really fanfic anymore. I wanted to say that at least 

hi! did you remove book 2 of heart of steel just bcs i couldn’t find it - it’s okay if you have tho i was just wondering!

ImberLapis, I wanted to ask about the book cover I placed a request in for, I was marked into your last batch of covers.

ImberLapis my friend. It has been a while, I hope you are doing well, and have you finished the rest of your workshop projects yet?

Welp, time to update my bio here to say I’m 24 instead of 23! I can’t believe I’m 24 now, it doesn’t feel real honestly :’D

Hey guys
          
          So for the past few months, it’s been obvious that my updates in Celeste are all but nonexistent. Besides me just slowly losing interest in graphic-making, I’ve been grappling with the dilemma of AI art. I look up artwork to use, and it’s almost nothing but AI art or art that I can’t figure out whether it’s AI or not. I’m staunchly against using AI art, and I frankly don’t have the patience to ethically source artwork to use in my graphics nowadays unless they’re direct faceclaims of always existing characters. I know fanart can be AI generated too, but at least it’s more likely to be actually drawn vs generated. My free time these days is so limited, and I’d rather put it into fanfics, drawing, and working on an actual novel I’ve been working on developing for a little while now.
          
          I’m going to try to finish making the graphics for this current batch so I don’t let everyone who’s waiting down, and afterward, I’m considering closing Celeste and finally ending my graphic workshops in general. I want the workshop to close with a bang though, so I think I’m gonna do a special project for my last set of graphics in the workshop, though I’ll think through it more as it comes closer to the time.

Uh… So as for why I’m not doing graphics still, one word:
          NaNoWriMo
          I’m actually attempting it again this year after not being able to do it since 2019 with a goal of 1.3k words minimum per day, and I’m actually doing well. As of today, I’m nearly 5k words ahead of the 50k word goal as long as I keep up with my minimum, and I intend on doing this for my own sake.
          I’ve truly been struggling with the loss of my loved one, and having a goal I can truly see come to fruition in my daily activities has definitely been helping me. I hope you all will continue having patience with me, and I will get to those requests when I have time again. They’re just not a priority compared to NaNoWriMo ><
