Dear Past Me Okay Past me, I'm going to be frank with you. I didn't do art trades this year like you wanted. I was so busy with the fox project I didn't do anything else barely. The good news is you Completed this big Giant Fox project. LOOK I have all the prints and such here: https://ulurifox.wixsite.com/uluri/foxprints
Also, I super grew my art communities, I think. The ones that I wasn't able to grow as much like Pixiv and Newgrounds. OH YEAH, i made myself a sfw only Pixiv this year. It's been growing pretty good. DeviantArt on the other hand decided to go full nuclear and upheaved its whole site for the worse, so I don't know how that one is going to do. It's 'alive" for now.
Now onto the things that happened this year. Past me, it was both an incredibly rough year and an incredibly great year for us. Covid 19 set the world unstable, even for someone who never leaves the house for months at a time like myself. SHopping has become difficult since I live where delivery isn't a thing. Barely anyone nearby offers pick up either. HOWEVER, on shopping I like that stores tend to have "walk this way" signs on the floor now. I always hated running into people.
As for interactions, April was absolutely dreadful since that was around the time lockdown started. It was dreadful because the folks who normally are extremely social coudln't handle it well and my phone rang EVERY DAY at least once an hour. It was an awful month and very exhausting. The mere volume of social interaction overload actually had me lose my voice from answering calls and not want to wake up and start my day. I personally wasn't effected by being stuck at home since I've been stuck at home for years now. My life on social stuff barely changed in that aspect.
I honestly can sum up my whole year with "I drew foxes and stayed home". It was good and bad. Oh and a Picker Bush beat me up.
(Past me, your question about the youtube thing. Not much happened with that)
Dear Future Me ANIMATIONS. Yes, Future Me, we are going to try again! Let us do some animations in 2021! I have become comfy with my voice, so let us use it! Let's tell stories about our Cats and Dog and rabbits! Lets talk about our weird dreams! I want to have some fun this year and focus on making stuff that would talk to Viewer! I really want to say hi to people!
Last year was such a big project that it burnt me out for a whole month afterwards. Just.... focus on doing content that's really silly or something.
