Project Update: Nightmare Star Unlocked!! All the Babies are unlocked!!! Plus 90 Backers!! Thank you

I was gonna post an update about my shop today, since I didn't really have anything else done. Lucid Stars Card art is still a work in progress. But with the support of all you lovely people, we have unlocked all the babies!!! And were also now 90 people strong!!

I have a few things I wanna say, but most importantly, how thankful I am to you all. I never thought this project would get this far. I was happy enough to pass that first goal, and I never imagined that we could make it to unlock all the babies! With that said, I am happy that now all the babies from the main line are unlocked. I know Sad Star needs to be unlocked, so fingers crossed for that too.

Trigger Warning For The Next Part:


This project's main goal was to help others find comfort in something from their hard lives. Especially those on the spectrum and those with Anxiety disorders. This is where things get a bit personal. This year has been one of the most painful years I've had. I've lost someone dear to me, I almost lost my fur baby, and I suffered very severe emotional abuse. Dealing with all this, including having a job, running a small business, being on the spectrum, and having panic disorder, has been difficult.

It's weird cause I draw such cute things, and I come across as a happy person, but inside I wanna scream, and the other time I just wanna cry. I know what it means to cry yourself to sleep. That's why my art is so important to me; it gives me an outlet. Along with all of you, I never expected so many to want to come and support me. And I am truly grateful for that.

With all this said, I am in a much better place.
Life is still hard, since I'm going through a lot of changes. And a lot of changes are happening around me, too. As far as I've come, change and new things, even positive ones, are still scary for me. But I'm hopeful for my future. 

I guess the reason I'm sharing all this is just to let others know that you're not alone and that things do get better. It may take a long time, but they get better. 

I'll end the update here. I know things in the world right now are scary, and I hope you all are safe. And pls stay safe out there! Love you all so much!
