Twitter: I left DA for Twitter and can be found there at @RUHX_art, long story short I'm one of the people DA's new layout triggers migraines for. Which is interesting because I'm not prone to them and have had exactly 2 migraines my whole life. Twitter's gonna be for OC stuff, odd posts about research progress and occasional ship stuff from uni and sea phases. I'm intending to post both post sketches and WIP's there as well as finished stuff. I'm still learning how to use twitter so bare with me! 

Semi-hiatus notice: I've been inactive for a little bit because irl got stressful for a hot min with that anxiety where your brain can't focus enough to draw anything. Haven't even been able to enjoy headcanons or daydreaming about my OC's (my usual go-to to de-stress and work through emotions) - no thoughts head empty. I'm putting up a semi-hiatus notice just in case because whilst I'm not expecting my activity to drop any more than it already has (in fact I'm actually expecting things to pick up again once I settle into uni) I'm not sure how much free time I will have. I'm gonna start training for my dream career studying nautical science in a few day's time, It's exciting but also nerve wracking as hell because I'm finally moving away from cruise ships and into general cargo and possibly survey ships. Getting stuff in place for that is half of what's been causing the stress though through no fault of the company sponsoring me. Tomorrow I'm moving half way up the country and I've been out of full time education for 8 years so it's gonna be weird going back into it. 

Research progress: In that time I got a load of research for historical plots done - got hold of a load of battalion war diaries for my WW1 OC's and operational record books for the squadrons I'm basing my RAF OC's fictional squadrons on thanks to the nationalarchives having free downloads of digitalised documents over lockdown so I can go for accurate movement/timings. I made good start on WW1 general research and got the full war diaries transcribed from 1914 through to 1919, I also got a large chunk of WW2 general research done that over Christmas break I'm looking at picking up my Age of Sail story again and beginning research for that plot.

Discord server search: Now I've been on Discord for a while I'm ready to find some more servers. I love the servers I'm in already I'm ready to meet some new people (though bare in mind I may lurk over the next week before engaging). 18+ servers very strongly preferred however NSFW channels are not a requirement. I'm mainly interested in OC/art sharing servers, ideally folks in the servers should be cool with historical characters because right now 90% of the content I produce is historical OC related. If there's any servers geared towards history research and the world wars or even the Age of Sail period I'd love to know. Main fandoms are 1917 and Dunkirk though I'm already in the main servers for both of those.
