I really haven't done text posts here over the years, but seeing how all of Twitter is about to be dumped into a pot of unethical AI soup, I just wanna say thanks to everyone who's migrated here onto Newgrounds lately to keep up with me and my art

This place still feels fairly small in the grand scheme of things, but I guess that's natural considering how insanely large the major sites have become. That said, I'm honestly still surprised that 3.4k of you have found my page and decided to give me a follow. It's been so long since I've been on a platform besides Deviantart that's actually allowed for that kind of passive growth through a tag/search system, it's always so much nicer to just post art and let it be discovered rather than having to worry about ideal post times, retweeting, wondering if something's gonna get deboosted by an algorithm, and all that other bullshit

So, thanks a bunch to all of you who've stopped by my page, given me a follow, favorited/rated my art, left comments, and everything else. It really means a lot, especially with how stressful the artist life has gotten these past few years. Currently trying to prioritize mental health and stay sane, but more art will be on the way eventually
