Well, 2024 turned out to be an extremely anxious year, but not as bad as I was afraid: with the transition from SAI2 to CSP, I improved some of my skills, optimized the workflow, learned to work faster and, in general, my time management became noticeably better (although I definitely have it what to improve, in particular my Boosty). I participated in a few of art events, for the first time in a lot of years I went to other places, and despite the premature (I still hope it's temporary) cancellation of my main source of joy of recent years, I found comfort and inspiration in the works of my fandom mates.

I'm very afraid to plan anything for the New Year, because already repeatedly at the beginning of the year there was some shit that destroyed all my plans. But... I will still try.

Firstly, I want to revise my price list, exclude some old positions and add some new ones. And I'll definitely be forced to raise prices: I haven't done this for 4 years, and over the past time inflation and the need to constantly help my relatives forced me to work almost always seven days a week. This year, I was less than ever engaged in my magnum opus, fanart and other non-commercial projects, and this partly affected my health, I really want the drawing (that is job and hobby for me) to be balanced. Nevertheless, I plan to develop a system of discounts for customers who ordered 5, 10 or more commissions from me, and I'll also not change the price for customers for whom I make long art projects (the first half of the *-marked segment in my To-Do list).

Secondly, I want to devote more time to fanart and personal works partly for the sake of rest and escapism, partly to teach and improve new skills (including for further application of these skills in drawing commissions). I want to illustrate a rather large OFMD fanfic and completely draw a prologue part for The Chronicles Of Hasenland. In total, this will turn out about a hundred drawings, but who knows me for a long time, they knows that this isn't the limit for me)) The rest of personal things like doodles, sketch-lists and ordinary arts are also in the plans, but what I described above the minimum program for me for this year.

In general, that's all. Right now I'm going on vacation until February 2th, although I can return earlier because of my workaholism. But after a rather hard autumn and December, I really need to rest a bit if I want to at least partially implement my plans.

Thank you all for your attention, supporting, interesting commissions and comments! I hope your 2025 will turn out as you yourself want it ^w^
