Good night ๐ด
Itโs been devastating to hear and read the updates on the two major wildfires in California, with so many who have lost everything. So, to help support the evacuees and the foundations who are providing aid, I am starting a donation run.
Donate $25 or more and Iโll draw you 1 portrait; it can be of you, your friend, family, character, or pet!
1) Donate to any of the following organizations: - American Red Cross - California Community Foundationโs Wildfire Relief Fund - California Fire Foundation (Thereโs also more organizations listed on Tetongravity if you google search their California wildfires article.)
2) Take a screenshot of your donation, and
3) Email to jeanettegchan@gmail.com, along with your request and reference.
Iโm currently opening up 10 slots, but I will take more once I have completed these. In the meantime, stay safe and stay well โค
Over the Garden Wall ๐
Here's a revamp I did from an old piece of mine. This is one of those shows where I can watch again and again for the autumn aesthetics โค๏ธ Same goes for their soundtrack!
Everyone! Go watch Good Omens, 10/10 best romcom I've seen yet ๐๐
Just a little time Just a little something else instead Just a little time Just a little something up ahead I'm dreaming of... A #dtiys a while back ๐ญ This was such a memorable show with heartfelt songs, story and lovable characters. I'm grateful for this masterpiece โค๏ธ Are there any shows that you're currently watching? I hope you're having a nice Sunday, and have a good week!

Day 11: Transport
I haven't done visdev work in who knows how long, and I want to get back to it ๐ Hereโs one of my characters, sheโs little but can still put up a fight (เธ'ฬ-'ฬ)เธ
Today is my birthday! (11/23) So I would like to gift you all with this announcement:
I have (finally) created my own food blog! @comfydarkeats โจ๐ฝโจ
Food and art are both things that I greatly enjoy. When I was asked what my dream career would be, I answered that I'd want to be a food illustrator.
I say "finally" because, to be honest, even though they are my passions, it took me a while to just get started. Maybe it's the fear of making mistakes, or that the results won't turn out the way I want it to. Does anyone else feel this? ๐ญ
A very wise friend told me, "Why not start with a 'bad drawing'? Why not paint a 'bad thing.' And just keep going until you finally get something good." In other words, I won't know if the piece is bad if I don't get started at ALL.
I'm also trying to apply this mindset in other aspects of my life. I admit to not accomplishing a lot of goals (let alone daily tasks) because of this fear of failure, fear of not getting it right the first try, which causes me to stop on my tracks and just be stagnant overall.
I know this is something I need to work on, but as I'm getting older, I'm learning that it's okay to make mistakes, as long as there's the eagerness and acceptance of bettering myself. I'm also trying to take in this saying, "There's no better time than the present." It's been said so many times, but I never really had that sink in until now.
Creating this blog is a small step, but it's important to me that I initiate at all instead of going, "someday." So here's to starting new things that may turn into accomplishments!
Is there something that you've been wanting or needing to do?
Day 25: Tired
#inktober
I have an update:
As of today, I will be going on a hiatus and taking time to be away from social media. I will also be stepping down from the convention scenes for the time being.
I understand that I have a lot to work on in many aspects of my life and that I need to focus entirely on that.
This is honestly scary for me, but I know that I need to put in the hard work, open up and resolve my current struggles in order to move on to better things.
Thank you everyone for your support, take care of yourselves and each other, and Iโll see you whenever I get back.
