(Original Art)Hello! It's been a while since my last post here in hive and I said or promise that to be active here to post some of my artworks and my comic strip so I want to apologize to that because I failed to do that promise and for being inactive.
So I want to share a short story why I became inactive to drawing and blogging.
STORY ABOUT THE ART
The short story that I will tell you guys right now is also connected to this art of mine so if you remember and read my intro blog I do Art and playing NFT games and non NFT games for a living. There was a time or day that I don't feel any excitement nor happy to play my non NFT games. The only reason why I still play those games is because they have a big part of my childhood, way back in grade school and highschool where you can only play them on the computer and now in modern time you can now download and play them on your smart phones. By the way those games are ( Ragnarok Origin Mobile and Dragon Nest 2 Evolution ) and yeah I decided to stop playing these games now but I still have some NFT games to play. So yeah that's one of the reason I stopped and being inactive here, in short lack of time.
The second reason was I'm emotionally and mentally drained because one of my good friend here in crypto space just passed away last june. If you remember we in ArtPark made an activity last may which was the MerMay 2023, so that time the last day of may I'm planning to finish my entry or this artwork but having a lot of games to play and being a pro procrastinator (haha) I wasn't able to finish it and trying to be done by next week which is the first week of June.
Then suddenly June 3 came, one of my friend message me that our friend passed away that day.
The reason why I named this OC or this mermaid Bammi is because that good friend of mine who passed away I used to call her ate BAM and I'm the one who gave her that nickname that I made and get from her alias name of Vampire and Mermaid.
Again if you have read my intro blog I also said there that I deactivated or took down my FB and other socmed accounts, but before that time came BAM noticed that I was inactive or unresponsive on my FB account for a long time so she messaged me to check me and I replied to her message and I said that I'm good I let her know if I'm not okay or struggling, then she replied and she was really happy that I responded to her message, then after some months I decided to took down my FB and twitter accounts. And that was our last conversation on messenger that I just back read 2 days after she passed away, One of biggest regrets is that I wasn't able to check her when she's the one who needs help and struggling, she the one who always checking up on me if I wasn't around, she who keeps on motivates and tell me to join art contest and pushing me to do art and crypto stuffs. :(
I think that's all I want to share with you guys and I don't want to be more dramatic, so yeah this artwork will be my tribute and I dedicate it to her because I think this character really fit to her, cuz she was definitely a great person, cool, smart and strong woman that I ever know.
Honestly sometimes I just felt that I really need to go back or to start to draw again it's like my body and soul was seeking or looking for it but don't get me wrong there still be a time where I can't do art and I know you understand that mostly you guys my co-artists friends.
So yeah that's the story of this artwork.

TRIVIA
This artwork will be added to my TraDigital Art Series and this is the second artwork for that series. The First artwork for that series, Uhmm I also planning to do a blog about it and maybe I will be posting it by tomorrow or on the next next day. Just always remember if you saw some of my artwork with this kind of frame and textured background those are included or part of my TraDigital Art Series.
ENDING MESSAGE
Like what I've said earlier my body and soul is seeking or looking for my artist side, so I just waiting for the 8.8 sale because I'm really planning to buy a new sketchbook so whenever I feel like to draw I'll do it and I also need it for some commissions.
And before I end this blog I want to say.....

Hugs bish!
It's hard to lose someone you care about but Koi is in a better place and if you ask me, still very opinionated wherever she is.
Cheer up, buttercup!
Thanks bish, I cried a lot for many days after I read our last conversation, cuz I never had a chance to check on her when I isolated myself from everyone, and I know she will get mad if I continue to be sad cuz she doesn't want any drama and yes I also think that she's fine now and no more pain to endure. fighting with her diseases is finally over. I already missed her bish.
Anyway, I just started learning hiragana yesterday. lol XD
ahahahah what a change of topic!! are you doing duolingo??
hahahah I definitely need to change the topic cuz if we still talking about koi and me being sad and dramatic she might visit me and slap my face. hahhaa kidding aside I miss her tho.
and yeah bish I used duolingo I think I did a great job yesterday I was in the first place in the bronze league and now just second place cuz I still haven't had proper sleep until now. I think I'm in the 60 percent of hiragana memorizing the letters hahaha
