~Eliana-Asato

Hello, my friends

I just wanted to let you know that I'm alive. It's hard to count the number of times I've started to write this letter to you but never sent it. Here’s my next attempt to tell you where I'm dissuppear.
I won't describe in detail what has been happening in my life lately, I'll just say that it hasn't been easy. I will tell you briefly about the problems I have faced and then we can move on to the positive changes in my life.

Hard period

So, I've been through several hard moves to a new place, paperwork problems and a lot of stress. This has severely undermined my already poor physical and mental health. I've been ill a lot and now I'm still not fully recovered.
I still have a lot to do and it scares me as I have this thought stuck in my brain that something bad seems to be waiting for me.

Good news

All right, I won't talk about the bad stuff anymore.
Good news! I moved to Finland! I still can't believe I'm living in my dream country! This is the best thing that has happened to me in the last few years and surprisingly I don't feel homesick at all. On the contrary, it's like coming home. I feel at home in Finland. I go to a language school and I'm learning very fast, so if you speak Finnish - write to me, I'd love to practice Finnish.
Also, I started an irl instagram. I needed it to communicate with my school mates, but then I noticed that it helps me with my anxiety and I started uploading my irl photos there little by little. I look bad after illnesses and stress, of course. All the muscles are gone, my face looks tired… But if you are interested for some reason in looking at me, feel free to sign up, we'll be friends there too.

About commissions and work…

For now I can't accept money on my personal PayPal, but there is an option to sign up for my Patreon where I still draw comics. There is also an option to pay via PayPal of Second Chance the Game, however I will open those a little later. Right now school takes 5-7 hours a day and after that and being ill I'm very tired and spend all my energy to do all the drawings for my Patreon, also I owe a lot of drawings during this time and want to finish them first.

The future fate of “Eliana: The Blood Curse” comic

I am very sad to talk about this project as it was started at a very bad time. The project didn't have time to develop and now I don't have time for it at all. I am drawing it, but unfortunately very slowly. Moreover, it is very hard for me morally to draw soldiers and military equipment, sorry.
I hope that in time I can finish the intro and get to the main plot. The comic will be very interesting. But a little later… Right now I'm focusing my attention on "Amber's Experiments. Experiment #025 Pleasure or Pain" - 3 three pages a month and "Ginger Jewel 2" - 2 pages a month, but on a different patreon.

Second Chance the Game

Due to all of the above, the production of the game has slowed down, but we have more and more art on our game's Patreon for a reason. The update has been delayed in time, but we're trying our best to release it as soon as possible. Well, I only have one sprite left to draw from the whole huge list of artwork required for the new part of the chapter.

Conclusion

I really hope that my residence permit in Finland will be extended (I am not a refugee, I have an official reason, so I need to confirm it when it expires). Right now all my fears are only about this, because I love being in Finland so much! Everything should be ok, there is no reason for them to say me “go away”, but till the possibility is not zero present, I’m scared… Anxiety is waiting for me every night, but I'm fighting through it. Very soon I will know what my future fate will be, wish me luck friends, and I will try to create as many wonderful drawings for you as possible! <3
