It's November, which means people are going to do NNN challenge. And I'm going to be a villain here. >:3c
Or at least try to do more, I know I can get burned out on these things fast like every year.

I made a newer version of Amy Rouge. She comes with a more accurate body, muscle flexes, a bunch of facial flexes and make-up.

Includes the QCs, blend file with textures, a PSD file for the head and alpha pngs for the lipstick.

I can't post the image on Newgrounds due to the rules, so check out the video and the download in the next tweet: https://twitter.com/Tahlian1/status/1713656323257094571

As of now, my pc hasn't been doing anything weird, even after some renders. So I'm thinking it might just have been a fluke and/or windows updates doing that shit. Still holding my breath on it, my old old pc had a similar thing where it would turn itself off like that once, be fine for a few days and then completely break.

Also my bday is coming up soon, July 7th. Just throwing that out there.

Yesterday my pc turned off all usb slots and my monitor for a brief sec. And today the first bootup didn't go through, it had to start up again.
I think my power supply might be having an issue. I hope it's just 2 flukes, but I'm scared. 
It's my only form of entertainment here and nobody will be around for 3 days. Meaning I'll be twiddling my thumbs for those days. I do have my phone, but that's not going to do much.

Seriously hoping it's just bad luck and not a broken power supply, but already looking for solutions. It will be hard for me to replace it as the pc is too heavy to pick up and dismantle.

So my life is finally moving forward again.

When I was discharged from the hospital back in September, I didn't really had a place to live. I ended up in a service flat in another city.
But now after 6 months, I will finally move to my own home, back in my home town. This will happen in 2 weeks.
Planning out a move isn't easy and I've been having some stressful moments because of it. So I will be taking the next weeks easy and focus on games a bit more to let my mind rest. I'll still do art, but slowly.

Speaking of art. I've decided to update my OC's refsheets. All of them were somewhat outdated, graphics as well as lore. 
I'll be updating the old images with the new ones over the next few days. Kiki, Lily and Felicia are currently done. I might do an art image first before I'm focusing on Kimiko and Rose.

You can check out my twitter for the updated images with the old one attached to it, or just look through the gallery here to see the newer one. I'm not going to make a new entry.

Is that I should limit the amount of alt's.
It's really fun to do other angles and such, but in the end I still need to upload these. And every upload site has their own limits. 
That plus it feels spammy having to upload 7 of the same animation over and over again. 

Still it was fun doing these. Will keep this in mind for next time.

More short smug elf and shortstack related art coming soon, but probably no longer on a daily basis.

Thank all of you for your love and support. It's no secret, 2022 has not been a kind year to me and those who surround me.

I started 2022 in the hospital, hoping that I'll walk out of it at the end of January. Instead I spend another 9 months in it, having to learn how to do transfers and move around in public while in a wheelchair.
Those 9 months would've been a nightmare, if it wasn't for the people who supported me (IRL and online), and my art.
On the 20th of January 2022 I was moved to the therapy building. And a day later I had my pc in my room and made my first image on that same day. Ever since that day I've been uploading daily to help me pass the time and soften the pain.

It's been almost one year of daily uploads. I have to admit that I'm getting burned out now. The better living condition I'm currently in (compared to the hospital at least) has me less focused on my art. I can play games again and talk to people online without any issues. And I've been struggling to get a daily image the recent weeks due to lack of motivation.
I'm at the point where I see myself doing quantity over quality, and it's bothering me. I can do much better and will do much better if I were to put my time into it, instead of "rushing" it to meet a supposed deadline.

Starting 2023, I will take a short hiatus to do some background work and relax a little bit. I'll be changing my uploading schedule from daily to whenever it's ready. I'm planning on doing other things such armature stuff and learning to animate. And also try to set up a system for my art, so it's not the same thing over and over again.

Thank you for making my 2022 bearable and I'm glad I could help others this year.
Let's hope 2023 will be a bit less eventful. 

The move was somewhat smoothly yesterday, slight hiccups in traffic and getting to nestle in the house.
Major issue was my internet still not being usable, but this is because of how old the building is. The cables I bought didn't fit on any of them and the actual cable place is at the other side of my room. A technician had to come over to install it, and even if I were able to reach and install that stuff on my own, there were issues down in the basement. 

But I got internet now, still need to unpack a lot of stuff, get shopping done for food and medication. But I'm already feeling much more at home now.

On December 20th, I had to go to the hospital for a small surgery to get rid of my spinal fistula. It was causing me to lose my ability to walk and feel with my legs. This whole ordeal would've taken me 3 days in total. 
Fast forward to today, September 30th. 10 months later I'm finally able to leave the hospital. This whole thing has turned my life around, from walking in the hospital to riding out of it with my wheelchair. I don't know who or what caused me to lose my ability to walk. But one thing is certain, it's not going to keep me down.

I'll be moving to my temporary home, due to my old home not being wheelchair friendly, at all. Hoping that I'll have a permanent home sooner than later.

With moves comes downtime, and I don't know when I'll be back online to share images and talk to people. I got my phone with me in case it's really not possible. So I won't be awol and I'll be on my Discord.
Hopefully nothing bad will happen during the move, and I'll be able to continue my art very shortly after. I've taken precaution to anything bad that can happen, like backups.

See you soon,
Tahlian
