I apologize for all of this, all of your pain
I never wanted this to happen to you.
I take full responsibility for causing this,
But I hope you also don't regret our love.

I'm curious how people felt about that Perfect Pear episode. I am fairly certain it was not explicit that these two passed away, but I still feel sad. Maybe part of it was being abandoned by your own family—truly crushing. Gosh I want to see more than a mere happily ever after.

Oh my gosh, I apologize for how late I came in for ATG this year. While it did come up so unexpectedly, I was on business trip and the first prompt came out when I was touring New York City. (I freakin' love food <3)
Now I'm back, and my online class is ending next week, so I want to get back into the swing of art by participating in ATG. Of course I have one more business trip next week too, but I'll hopefully have found my rhythm back by then. '

I'm kinda questioning how I should format my submissions for ATG this time around. I like the sort of standalone, sketchy feel of this, but it kind of seems too refined or clean—maybe stylized such that it should remain as is. I was also considering just submitting all of the sketches and brainstorms I've done that led up to this final idea (it takes me forever to decide)—which though I don't need to do refinement as much, I might feel too embarrassed to show all the other rubbish that came before. I don't know yet, but I'm currently more worried about finding time to make some actually decent art
