Hello hello! Just popping in to give a small update! It's been about 4 months now and tbh? I'm still not ready to come back yet... and I'm not entirely certain when I will be yet :(

I may have a mild case of art block? Drawing's been a bit of a challenge for me lately, and other things in my life's been taking all of my attention I have. Still, I do have a few other things I can post from time to time? I'm thinking I might just start posting those every now and again.

So to start, here's a few Rachel doodles I made last month!

Some of the stuff I post might actually not be Castle of Nations related, but it'll still refer other works UP has made. It's not a ton, but it's what I got. Hope you enjoy c:

#castle of nations #rachel #dynart #dyntalks #yeah I'm not back yet #but I kinda wanted to break the radio silence #4 months is quite a while #I might pop in every month or so to give a small update like this #just so that I don't forget about it and lose my drive #but yeah #thanks for your patience!

Song: Not There Yet

Artist: Eric Hutchinson

_____

[Prev]

We finally made it to the end of 2023!

What a wild year, huh? I got to try so many new things this time around! This blog... a shift in living situation... a career change... and many others. It's honestly been really exciting!

And among them...

Well, it's not actually my first time trying, but it has been a LONG time since I've tried learning how to animate again, and while this gif isn't anything big and flashy, I'm hoping it'll be a start to learn it a little more :]

So stay warm out there and see you next year on the next update!

#dynart #rachel #castle of nations #disclaimer: this does NOT mean I'll be making full-blown animations for this blog #the most you'll ever see from me are small looping gifs like this one #the comics already take a lot to make and I'm not hoping to run this blog for the next 10 years lmao #but that aside #I'm a little sad about how this gif came out #it has the idea down but it's not exactly how I envisioned it in my head :(#I think if i had more time to work on it #I wouldve been able to get closer #but alas u_u #thanks for reading!

Hi so Rachel whats your thoughts on kurt cobain? Singer of nirvana and guitarist

"I haven't listened to a lot of their songs, but I know many people who really enjoyed them, and I think it's very sad how he passed. As someone who never got fully comfortable being in the limelight, I can understand how stressful it can be."

"Loss like that can be extremely difficult for everyone around them, though. More than anything, I hope they were able to find some peace with it overtime."

#dynart #castle of nations #rachel #anon #truth be told #I'm VERY behind on any sort of pop culture #so 9 times out of 10 if you ask me about some famous person #I will probably have to look them up :');;;#an interesting artist to ask about tho anon #I checked out a few of their songs and they were p good!#thank you for the question!

Hello again! Call it odd for me to notice but I can't help but feel that there is some very, very strong sense of guilt and lack of worth given your previous interaction with some folks. And I can't help but worry. I really don't mean to pry but for what are you trying so hard for?

Taken aback by the question, Rachel expression's briefly flashes a moment of indignance. She opened her mouth, as though she was going to say something, but settled back down and looked away instead.

"...I'm afraid I don't know what you're talking about. Now, if you'll excuse me..."

Rachel walks away.

#dynart #rachel #castle of nations #wouldn't you like to know weather boy? :^)#jkjk haha #unfortunately it's too soon for this question to be answered in full #her reaction may be a little distant here but don't worry about this affecting anything negatively #in fact #I think as the blog progresses #these kinds of reactions will start becoming more and more common #thank you for the question!#decadentdeca

Ever had any other haircuts?

Also, take care :]

"Not recently, but I do like to style my hair in different ways every now and again. My hair used to be much shorter when I was younger, though!"

#dynart #rachel #castle of nations #since we're dressing rachel up #have some doodles I made a while back!#hope it satisfies your curiosity for now #thank you for the question!#jess-is-toolazy

Haii its me again what do you think of your aWESOME cosplay (i totally didn't screw up the mask) [ignore the messy lines >_<]

Rachel clapped her hands together and smiled widely.

"Ohhh! That's so adorable!" "Thank you so much! I think it looks great! That mask makes me look especially snazzy!"

#dynart #other's art #castle of nations #rachel #transitscafe #I love this ;;;-;;;

girlyou are so beautiful (respectful)

"Oh!"

Rachel holds the flower and looks at it in her hand, surprised.

"My... What's all this, all of a sudden?" Rachel looks back up at everyone, slightly flustered by all the compliments.

"Thank you! This is very sweet of you all!"

As she walks away, she checks herself to see if there was something about her appearance that was unusual.

(I don't think I look any different today than any other day... Maybe it's the new conditioner I'm using...?)

#dynart #castle of nations #rachel #new mechanic unlocked: thought text #wow wow wowie!#not one #not two #but THREE whole compliments AND a flower! (with rizz dhajksdh)#I'm glad you guys enjoy how I draw rachel haha #thank you for the asks!#hugeorb #anon

Howdy!

Just a heads up: it's almost time for another hiatus!

I'm putting this out early to let you guys know that I won't be answering any new questions I get and will only be focusing on my current existing batch.

You guys have been pumping out some really great questions (and even fan art!), and it's been awesome receiving them! However, I need to set this mental boundary for myself, lest the completionist in me goes insane trying to answer everything I get, as they come, and as soon as possible @-@;;

There'll still be updates next week that's dedicated to answering asks, but there might still be some questions that I won't be answering at this time. Some of them are SUPER old and I appreciate your patience thus far! But this is happening either bc I want to draw a response and haven't had the energy to do so yet, or bc I'm intentionally saving them for later when the timing's better.

Like before, I won't give a firm date on exactly when I'll be coming back (it's very important that I don't create that pressure for myself), but during that time, I hope each and every one of you have and/or had some very happy holidays in these recent months!

Thanks again for keeping up with this blog!

#dyntalks #I've been debating on posting this now as opposed to later #but I think I need it to be now #I've been active for WAY longer than I expected #maybe a little too long if I'm being honest #it's largely bc I wanted to end things off on a very specific note before I muck off for like 4 months lol #but gotta look out for myself first and foremost you know?#we'll see if I succeed or not by the end of next week #if not then it is what it is :')#anyway hope you guys enjoy!

hello I've always wondered what do you think of electric guitars?

"It's an instrument with a very intense sound! I've never tried playing it, so I don't have much of an opinion on that front, but I like the genres it's usually present in."

#dynart #anon #castle of nations #rachel #no real strong feelings towards it I don't think #tho probably more positive feelings than negative #now violas on the other hand #that's a different story hahaha #anyway #thank you for the question!

I notice you said you go to church on Sundays. Are you a Christian?

"That's one way to put it! You could go further and say I'm Catholic, but that can be a little controversial, depending on who you ask."

"If I'm honest, though, I'm not entirely sure what I am."

"I've never consistently believed in just one thing my entire life. For example, at one point, I was actually an atheist! And at another point, I was starting to lean towards Buddhism. And now, I'm currently Catholic... and I want to show everyone that I'm really trying... but..."

"......."

#anon #rachel #castle of nations #thanks for the follow up question anon!#this question is one that I've been expecting #and yet one that was still difficult to answer :'0 #sorry to bring up religion!#I won't go into it too deeply and I promise it has some relevance!#a very interesting note about rachel though #is that just like karl #there's meaning behind her name #to those of you who're curious #try giving both names a quick search #it's the entire reason why I even thought about churches in the first place #thank you for the question!
