Status update: 11/30

Hi again. I wanted to stop in with an update, even if there isn’t much to update on. I still haven’t been able to work on renders or anything – though this wasn’t really a month where I planned to regardless. I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving, etc.

We will have to see what happens next month – I am genuinely not sure at all; I want to make some kind of holiday/Xmas render… but nothing has been working out for months now. Who knows what might happen at this point… but we can see how everything goes. I am also still on the fence about possibly hanging this all up at the end of the year or so… but we will see what happens with that as well; there are many possibilities, and the idea of just walking away entirely still is not appealing to me… but I may not have much choice, as I have just not had the time/energy to do anything for this in months. I may just occasionally post stuff in the future without a set schedule, as many other artists do… or change my plans/strategy yet again – I have to think about it.

I will be back early next month with an update if nothing else.

Any interest, comments, follows, likes, votes, or support really does help. It is hard to keep making new stuff when nobody seems to care. Following me on DA/slushe/pixiv/twitter/whatever doesn’t cost anything – and that all does help spread the word about my work… so please consider doing some of that if you haven’t already.

Black Friday 2023 gumroad sale.

Hey. I am back with the gumroad coupon for my usual black friday sale.

The code this year is: rlablackfriday2023

And that will/should get you 47% off anything in my gumroad shop – so use it while you can! This coupon code works from now until Tuesday, November 28th (EST). (You have about five full days.)

As before, this coupon is the highest public discount I have offered for my gumroad page so far – and since everything regarding this project has kind of been falling apart this past year, this may very well be the last sale… so if you want to get any/some of my older mini-sets cheap, this is likely the best and/or last chance you will ever have.

Do feel free to check the mini-set master catalog on the top of this page for more info on each mini-set, or to find stuff you like – if you are interested in my work or any of my mini-sets.

I will probably be back at the end of the month with a status update, but there isn’t much to report on so far – not much has changed since last week.

Status update: 11/18

Yo. I just wanted to check in again, even if there isn’t much to say – just letting you all know that I am still around, etc… I really don’t want to just vanish without a trace, as some artists have done before. (I always felt like it is better to at least let people know your plans, worries, etc – rather than disappear and leave them wondering what the fuck happened to you; I have seen that far too many times over the years… and yes, things do happen sometimes, but still.)

The weather here is still being weird – but there may be hope in the future, it is hard to say… regardless, I am really uncertain as to how I can really do much with this anymore; just doing what I need to do takes up most of my time these days. We will just have to see what happens – but… I am seriously considering basically just putting all this aside at the end of the year now; not that I have done much render work this year, but still – I have been trying to work on things, and that is still unnecessary and pointless additional stress on me at this point. This was never profitable or popular anything – so it is not like I am losing much per se; and it is just at the stage where I don’t have time anymore, regardless. We will see how things go – but I am just tired in general; this year has been a mess and a blur at the same time.

I will be back at the end of the month with a status update, if nothing else… but I do plan to have my usual black friday gumroad sale at some point around black friday as well – and this very well may be the last one I do; so if for whatever reason you want any of my old mini-sets, and do not yet have them, consider getting them whenever that sale goes on – likely late next week.
