wanted to write up something as my activity on newgrounds is slowly increasing!
i have been posting my art onto newgrounds as another alternative for discord servers and my bluesky because of the art community and maybe getting a different audience on it with some different views n stuff. of course, on newgrounds i am kinda starting from zero given my inactivity for years and the age of my account combined (oops) but we'll see!
i currently do have a part-time job, but it doesn't have a great pay which sucks but it's better than nothin'. i have thought about trying to do some form of commissions as some form of supplemental income, but not terribly confident in myself for that, and other things.
i'm currently in one HELL of an art block, which happens infrequently with me and cycles with my programming activity; currently in the form of general software and nothing really relating to games, other than figuring out raylib with Rust but as just tools and figuring out Rust. below is an Aseprite file viewer made with raylib and Rust, which is something i made with GDScript and Godot already oops
it would also probably help if i committed to projects too OOPS
also art adjacent, i've made a Procreate file import plugin for Krita, however it's currently in a limbo of "i am not sure if i could release this" given how the Krita Python environment works and the amount of open source Python code i used for it being a variety of licenses, and some of it had to be modified to properly work anyway so.... not sure what open source license it would apply under so opted to think about it if i have nothing else to do which leaves not a lot of time.
as a last note, just going to make the blanket statement of family life stank on top of being a trans gal in america in 2025. that's all i want to talk about that subject
thank you for reading this ramble post
