I finallyyyyy... finished that last batch of commissions. I feel bad for taking so long with them. T_T

But here's the deal: I'm going to wait before I reopen my slots again because I suddenly had a bomb dropped on me in the form of 15+ illustrations to draw before Sunday (the 14th). It's driving me nuts and I hate it, but I'm gonna try to get that out of the way first, and then see how I feel next week.

I'm contemplating maybe doing a commission stream sometime soon, but that's up in the air at the moment. I'll keep you guys posted.

Hey guys. It's been a while.

I'll summarize what's been going on. I moved back home because I couldn't keep affording rent and my mental health went downhill really fast. I was artblocked for a long time, and I had internet connectivity issues that took a while to fix. Then I ran into technical issues with my tablet and my computer. I now have a new PC and a new tablet, but the issues with the latter are still present. I'm trying to work around it and I can draw, at least, but it's more time-consuming and frustrating.

My mental health still isn't much better, and I haven't accomplished much either in terms of art or income. I've changed my commission options to fewer, more simplified things since I'm not confident that I can tackle more elaborate projects yet.

I don't have a whole lot worth uploading to my gallery, and basically none of it is furry stuff. I'm hesitant to upload most of the stuff I've drawn recently since it's... Homestuck fantrolls, and I'm worried about getting disparaging comments for that. Even then, I have very few polished pieces to show.

I can stream on Picarto again, but I don't have any streams planned for the near future. I also can't guarantee any new YCH auctions anytime soon. I just need time to readjust.

Sorry this sounds so mopey... let's just say I've seen better days.

After a four month absence, I'm more or less back. Truth be told... I forgot about this place. I got wrapped up in my commissions backlog (which still isn't complete, by the client in question hasn't gotten back to me in a while) and then I spent the last three months being irresponsible and playing FFXIV an obscene amount. So yes, expect a lot of FFXIV art, if anything.

On that note, now that I've moved out to a different house and need to pay rent, I'm reopening commissions! Apologies to those who contacted for those me before my hiatus; it's been so long that I imagine you must have gone to another artist by now, so I'm wiping the slate clean.

I'm still going to lie low for the next few weeks while I get back into the swing of things and also work on a book illustration contract I've been given. Hopefully I'll be active again soon o/

This is temporary, of course, but for now I will not be taking further commissions until I finish the ones I already have. One client off FA has commissioned me for a whopping twelve pictures with variations, so that will take up most of my time for the coming weeks (if I can pry myself away from Tree of Savior long enough...)

Anyway, just letting y'all know.

I want to apologize for my sudden absence. Without going too much into detail, things have not been going too great for me irl. Just last night I discovered that I can no longer stream on Picarto because my graphics card can't handle the pressure and causes my whole computer to bluescreen repeatedly.

As such, I'd like to open up more commission slots in order to fund my getting a replacement card. Obviously this means I won't be able to stream the commissions, but I will do my best to stay in contact with clients in order to get concrit and corrections as I go.

Again, sorry for my absence. I hope to get back into the swing of things soon.

I actually came home Monday night but I was too pooped out to post anything for the past day. I'm broke off my ass so feel free to commission me!

In two hours I'm leaving for the airport to head to DC for the weekend. I will be back on Monday and hopefully I'll have more material to upload in the coming weeks.

In order to keep myself focused! Music is on, mic is off.

I want to apologize again for my lack of activity and my slowness in getting back to those YCH drawings. Like I said, I was at a convention all weekend, and I'm more drained than I expected to be. Now I'm... fighting artblock. Not a good combination.

But the point is, I haven't forgotten about this place. I'm thinking about art every day and about how I can get over this artblock period this time.

I want to add that I'm very grateful for the patience of my YCH clients ;m; I feel terrible for making you two wait for so long. But I promise I'm working on it.

First off I want to apologize to the winner of my last two YCH auctions for not having produced anything yet. I sadly haven't had the time to draw beyond simple doodles this past weekend. I'm rushing to complete a sewing project for a convention this coming weekend and I'm still not done, but it's nearly complete. I hope to be able to complete my costume by Thursday. If I have the time to draw in the evenings, I will get started on the YCH drawings, but I can't promise anything until next week.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience. :c

I extended the deadline for these two due to the lack of bids. I realize now I probably shouldn't have even tried to do solo-character YCHs, but all I can do now is extend the deadlines and hope for the best... :x

So, please give them a look and consider placing a bid if you have a female character you'd like to see in either of those two positions. I'm really tight on money and could use the help.

Hey!! Y'all should give my good friend  tunes a look! They're trying to get back into posting to FA and could use some fresh watchers. \o/

Sorry to the few people who showed up for my livestream only to have it stop in not even 20 minutes. I'm feeling a little under the weather, probably because of the booze. ;m; I'll make up for it next time!

I hadn't realized I had commissions turned off all this time. No wonder. This website has a lot of things hidden everywhere but I'll do my best to find them somehow...!

Anyway, so yes, commissions are open!
