I had done this in april. I wanted to find myself again, at least as laundrymom. so I drew hayo-cinemas uwasa no hito character, the reason Iaundrymom focuses on milf characters. it helped. and gave me the confidence to push toward working on OCs more. I've been doing less fan art, something that really was draining me. but I think that's still a plus for myself as laundrymom, not otakubasket. the blog post text has more context

just a couple days ago I got to do one of my OCs for patreon, and I couldn't be happier with the result. I can't stop staring at the backgrounds I made for that project. but once again, I think this is all a positive for laundrymom, not otakubasket. hell, this spread was supposed to be more of a personal piece.

I've considered dropping color so I can focus on figure and tones, the latter of which other brought up because of my inability to focus on manga. however color is a big selling point in porn. stuff like this makes finding this "answer" so difficult.

outside of art, I'm trying to make time to do youtube videos again as otakubasket, it was always fun to distract myself from work with it, but these days it's harder to do.

I work a seasonal tax job now and it has it's pros and cons. It caused me to stagnate even in nsfw, to the point of refunding several commissions. but making money was easier. I have trouble keeping jobs because of my creative desires so I only do this seasonal one.

once again, I don't come here angry, just frustrated at the problems my circumstances created.
