first piece for the year! who's your favourite grass starter? (/cough the answer is always rowlet)

and hello everyone!! sorry for the silence for the past month and a half. i've been on vacation (travelling around china, korea and japan) with a few friends and just got back home last wednesday ^u^ but definitely ready to get back into the swing of drawing regularly again!
i have a few exciting things to look forward to this year - for one, i'll be setting up a table and selling prints of my work at my first artist alley! i've just sent in applications for sydney supanova, comic con and madfest yesterday, so wish me luck in getting a spot <333 because of this, i'll probably be spending a lot more time prepping merch and drawing fanart and more original pieces, rather than occupying myself with commissions. can't give much of an estimate for when i'll open commissions back up, so for now it'll be closed indefinitely until i feel like i can start taking them again~

oh, and thank you everyone who sent birthday messages!! much much much appreciated <3333
