Secrets Flowers Keep

Wassup~

It's Saturday here and the sun's out and the sky's blue so I wanna get out there and enjoy that SPRING is here * ___ *

A quickie today, which is themed for the arrival of the season of all flowery and new life sprouting in Australia~

Here is a girl having a conversation with a floral fae, and you probably can't read the text cuz it's too smol but a spoder didn't plan anything before drawing as usual so the scale is wrong (for readability) but the bubbles are saying:

"Do you want to know?"

"...secrets flowers keep..."

and here is the finished piccar :D

I haven't done profile drawings in a while so I think there's a bit of awkwardness with this piccar, and now I'm reminded that I should keep drawing things that I don't usually draw so I can keep a familiar handle on things :)

Uh, I think this will be my last 3speak video for a while, also. My subscription will expire tomorrow and I don't really plan to renew. Making videos takes more effort for me, instead of just drawing on paper with pencils or pens. I DO like the front-end, and I like that it rewards engagement, though. So for those of you who find creating video contents your thing, I definitely recommend 3speak :)

Also just want to make a quick note just in case anyone's noticing that I haven't been commenting as I had used to, but I'm stopping all that effort from last week or so. I've hit more than 25,000 comments and I'm tired. I've made friends along the way but I think 90% of my comments were like tossing attention at brick walls. People are happy that other people pay attention to them but people are not particularly happy to go out and pay attention to others in return. (Mind you, I dont mean that people should pay more attention to my posts, cuz I've already gotten enough attention on them, so thank you for that <33333333) (No, I mean, just in general, most Steemians stay in their own blogs and doesn't really venture outside, that's all)

From now on, I'll be more like the 'average' Steemian. I'll reply to comments on my post, and probably will continue to make comments on friends' posts but I will no longer be commenting on so many posts.

I've also resigned from PowerHouseCreatives because of the burn out. They are wonderful bunch of people, and I would recommend them to any Steemian who would like to be a part of an energized and active group. They are geared to grow and they 100% reward engagement, AND a lot of them create really amazing contents :D I've gotten to know a lot of wonderful PHC members during my time with them :D If you are a high-engagement high-activity author, I'd recommend you to check @steemitbloggers out, they are doing a lot of good work and thems are amazing peeps :)

Okaaaaaay, that's all.

I'm going to go out now and play with my dogs :D :D :D Have a great weekend, everyone o/
