🌸 Weekly Update 🌸

 

Hey everyone! I hope you’re all enjoying the spring season.

 

🎨This week, I’m still hard at work on the Stardew Valley seasonal portraits in the Nyapu style. The Ridgeside Village set is almost complete—just about 16 portraits left to go!

 

🖌️My art commission for a friend is also progressing nicely. I’m currently working on the upper section of the book cover, where I’m illustrating the warped forest. It’s coming together beautifully, and I’m really excited about how it’s turning out.

 

📖I’ve also been reading quite a bit lately! I finished Titan (a fascinating Rockefeller biography), Serial Killer Princess (a quick but intriguing read), and Together (a self-help book that delves into loneliness from a scientific perspective). Right now, I’m diving into Throne of Glass (finally!) since it’s such a popular series I hadn’t gotten around to reading. Oh, and I’m loving the first Saga omnibus—can’t believe I waited so long to pick it up!

 

🎮Keeping up with my New Year’s resolution, I’ve been gaming a lot too! I’ve been playing Omori, Satisfactory, and a modded version of Stardew Valley. I also got back into Genshin Impact since one of my friends is playing it, and I’ve been having a blast playing Deep Rock Galactic with my husband.

 

📝As for writing, I haven’t made as much progress this week. Between juggling multiple projects and feeling a bit under the weather, I haven’t had much time to work on my stories. But I did manage to finish a couple of book reviews for Goodreads and completed a character development questionnaire. I’m reworking my schedule to carve out more time for writing, so I’m hopeful things will improve.

 

❤️‍🩹On a personal note, I wasn’t feeling too great this week, but I’m definitely feeling better than I was last week. There were a few tough days where my pain and fatigue took over, but I’m focusing on the positives—I’ve been able to read, game, and rest when needed. Here’s hoping my health continues to improve soon.

 

I hope everyone has a fantastic week ahead! I’ll catch you all next Saturday. 💖
