Hello everybody!
This will be kind of a long post, but if you don't want to read it there is a tl;dr a the bottom.
So i've been gone for almost a year! What happened??? I don't want it to be crazy long but it will cause me to indulge some personal info, so if you don't care/don't wanna know just jump to the bottom. So, i am a transgender woman, and i started transitioning during last November (around the time of my last liveries). My mother, who i was fully reliant and dependent on, decided that she did not approve of my transition. I was dealing with an extreme amount of stress due to her opposition to my transition. I was also trying to stay sober since November 29, I have been an addict for many years. I unfortunately ended up having a su***de attempt in April of this year as a result of those things (i am all better now). Very shortly after that in May she terminated the lease of the apartment she payed for that I lived in. So as a result of that I was homeless starting late May.
I was able to get most of my things into a storage unit, and my computer to a friends place for safe keeping while i was on the street. I ended up moving into a shelter about a month on the street. I got a full time job in September, and ended up moving into an apartment in late October after becoming financially secure enough.
So now, I am back with a roof over my head and my computer! So naturally i am back at painting! However as we all know, a big new simulator was announced during my absence, so things will be a little different. I am planning on most of my painting effort to be spent on MSFS2020 in the future, and I currently have no plans to resume painting new XP paints besides a select few aircraft (namely the HotStart Challenger 650). I will however update old liveries if model changes occur and things like that (i am currently aware of 757 liveries needing winglet fixes). I also will be making new liveries, but the will be primarily for P3D, and primarily for aircraft that will be going into MSFS2020, so basically i will be painting the PMDG NGXu.
I started today on my first livery for that aircraft, and it is my first livery ever that is not in X-Plane. The livery I chose is one of my favorites, N737M. I am aware that the real world aircraft has been repainted relatively recently so I will be doing the new version as well, likely in a few weeks.
I am sorry for all my loyal X-Plane friends! And I am sorry for the hundreds and hundreds of requests that I will not be able to get to (tbh once i hit 400 i should have stopped accepting requests lol).
But ya, long story short, I had a rough year but I am doing great now. I am ready to dive back into painting, but with a new sim (only to prepare for a newer sim :D)
Thank you all for being great!

tl;dr: Was gone for awhile, am back now.. Requests all suspended indefinitely due to MSFS2020. Will be painting a little bit in P3D due to similar aircraft being in MSFS2020 (PMDG NGXu). Preview of first livery for the NGXu below.
