Thank you all very much for your support this year. Since quitting my office job and becoming an illustrator at the beginning of this year, every month has been a trial and error, but in the last three months I've finally been able to put myself in a position to make a meaningful living. I didn't expect it to be successful in a year, but now I feel like I've pulled off a critical hit! Until August I was doing a lot of Skeb and commission work, but in the last three months of the year I switched to corporate work, and now I'm doing background jobs for games and prop design for animations, although I can't give you the details yet. I had no senior colleagues close to me, so I lost my way in many ways, and I'm sure I'll have to meditate on things in the future, but I think this is what it means to be an independent designer. As for Rusty Front, I am preparing several surprises for you in the spring of next year, so please keep up the good work! We hope you all have a happy New Year!
