Major Update - necessary read
5 months ago
General
After much thought, I have made the decision to step away from the furry community—this includes commissions. While I will be keeping my OCs, I will no longer be active in this fandom.
From here on, my focus will shift almost entirely to the FNAF community and my own original worlds and stories. About 90% of my time and energy will be going toward that. I will also be learning and creating for VRChat, starting with retextures and eventually building full models. In the past week, I’ve discovered that this process makes me feel something I haven’t felt in a long time—it makes me feel the joy of creating again.
The truth is, art no longer brings me the happiness it once did. Years of online conflicts, offline struggles, and the constant weight of judgment and expectations have drained me. On top of that, I’ve had to live with severe pain flare-ups—especially in my wrist—that often make drawing physically impossible. Coupled with mental health struggles, art stopped being an outlet and instead became something that harmed me.
For over three years, art was my only source of income. To survive, I had to lower my prices far beneath the value of my work. This created an overwhelming backlog I couldn’t realistically keep up with. On top of this, I’ve been juggling loans to stay afloat. Right now, I need $1,000 to pay off my debts before I can even begin issuing refunds.
That being said, I will be canceling and refunding the majority of clients. Most bundle orders will not be refunded, but I will be making a full, organized list of who will receive refunds and who will still receive art. This list will be posted later this month. Refunds will take time. I have been unemployed for over three years and currently live on less than $150 a month. My goal is to complete all refunds within 4–6 months, starting once my debt is paid.
To help speed this process up, I will be creating adopts, as well as offering VRChat retextures/edits on base models. This will be my way of generating some income to move things along more quickly.
I know this decision will disappoint some people, but it is the healthiest choice I can make for myself. Since 2021, I have been constantly watched, harassed, and judged—first for mistakes I made as a child, later for mistakes I made when I was at my lowest. No matter how much I have tried to grow and move forward, that weight has never lifted. I cannot keep sacrificing my health and happiness to please others or keep up appearances in a community that has only drained me.
I need to focus on moving forward—on healthier communities, healthier work, and healthier ways of living.
The full refund/client plan will be shared this month. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Patreon will be active with the monthly art offers until I can fully leave the fandom.
Support me if you want, It would help a tonne.
