Hhhhmmm.... So I suppose this is where I explain what this is. I guess this is my spot for my ramblings, what's happening, etc. Let's start with Hi! I'm Calicoe or Urtica. Those are my main two online alias that I tend to go by. I'm an avid anime/manga fan and I try to do art in my free time. I'm married and have a one year old son and two cats. I'm here to make friends and hopefully improve my art. On that note I am willing to accept safe for work art requests, but depending on demand and my available free time it might take me a little while to fulfill. I am a stay at home mom so my free time is in short supply. Also I mentioned it once on one of my pieces, but I tend to keep clean line art of most of my drawings so if you are interested in doing a recolor of one just let me know all I ask is for credit for the line art.

It's Update Time!!!
Alright it's definitely been a while since I last posted on here. I will admit that things have been improving as we're all settling into a groove and adjusting to each other. I think as bad as it sounds the fact I know we're already 5 months into the one year agreement is helping! I have noticed that the stress has been sucking on my creative motivations. I just haven't had much of a pull to draw or create and that does make me sad. On a brighter note my kiddo has continued to be pretty amazing. He turns three in March and I'm trying to figure out where the time went! I feel like I just brought him home from the hospital yesterday. He's getting so tall too! In a moment of mom insanity I splurged and bought him a fancy play set on Amazon. It wasn't suppose to arrive until March 1st, but it got here just last Friday! My husband, his grandfather, and I had a good time spending two days putting the whole thing together. My son ran out and said "It's the park!" and we've used it.... three days? It of course got cold and then snowed within a few days of finishing it! Darn you fake spring! Apparently the way to summon very late snow is to build a play set. In other news I've been reading all the Jujutsu Kaisen manga that are currently out. Like Demon Slayer I loved the anime and couldn't wait for more of it to come out to find out what happens in the story. I'm really enjoying it! For something more light hearted I started Monthly Girls' Nozaki-Kun (the manga) as well. Again I've watched the anime, but hoping that the manga of course goes further. I'm still waiting for the second volume to arrive though as it was currently out of stock XD.
On the video game front I happily discovered just the other day that nintendo added Earthbound to the virtual SNES machine on the switch! I'm so thrilled to play it again! It is absolutely one of my favorite RPGs of all time. The nostalgia of the music and the plot just makes me smile while I play it. Just like rereading your favorite book it's like having an old friend visit that you haven't seen in a while. Truly it's the little things in life that make you giddy. Speaking of old friends one of my friends that I haven't seen in over a year is also coming to visit tomorrow for a week. Super excited for that! I have to say that life has been feeling pretty good lately and it's a nice change. Now if the snow would just melt.... I hope you're all staying safe, keeping healthy, and living your best life. Thanks for reading!
