This fellow is one of my beans
https://toyhou.se/2620967.nikola

I adopted him some time ago from a person who has been harassing me ever since to sell them back. I don't want to sell them. I've been using the design in a years long rp at this point and am quite attached. They come around every year or so to remind me that they want them back, claiming that they scammed me at one point. I've blocked and blocked, but they keep making new accounts.
I've since stopped trying to reason with or negotiate with this person.

and they've recently decided that its cool to commission other people for art of them.

if someone tries to commission you or if you see art 'not in the folder' of them then please let me know ^^;

Well it’s the end of the year, and what a year it’s been. I feel like this is the best/worst year I’ve had so far. On one hand I’ve really gotten to spend a lot more time doing what I love to do, which is designing characters and monsters for you guys, and on the other hand the world feels just all the darker.

Ai really took off early this year and it’s been a shadow looming over our community ever since. It’s hard to focus on work when I’m wondering if I’ll be able to continue it in the years to come. I also decided I was going to work on ttrpg stuff this year (another hobby I love) and if you’ve been following that scene you’ll know that it’s been flooded with controversy all year long. X’D

With that being said I’m going to keep a brave face and work towards the future. I love doing what I do, and I think it would break my heart to give it up. It hard, but it’s worth it.

What happens next?

Well first and foremost I’d really like to work on my own personal project more this year. I spent last year doing a lot of writing and plotting, and I’m still working on it, but I think I’ve got a pretty good idea of where I’d like things to go. So I would expect to see more of my own beans running around. (I will be making a point to draw them more often) I need to practice drawing humans more so there will definitely be more doodles.

I admittedly have fallen out of love with the classic D&D dragons set I’d been working on. It was partly fatigue and partly feeling like I was promoting a company that thought it was cool to lay off 1100 employees just before Christmas. I just don’t have the passion for it anymore so I’ll probably work on something else, or go back to monsterhunter.

I’d really like to do more with the creature club this year. (discord for patreon and ko-fi supporters) I had a lot of fun designing beasties for them (all the sketch designs I’ve been drawing have been creature club requests), and this next year we’re going to do something special with give away designs, the first of which I’m thinking I might make public? I haven’t decided just yet.

Anyhow I just wanted to wrap up my thoughts for this year. It’s been a crazy one.
I hope that you have all been doing well, and that these next few days are full of rest and relaxation.

Here’s to hoping that 2024 is a little less manic.

These will be completed in January !

I won't lie. I'm tired, but working on it.

My father has his last couple of treatments over these next couple of months (2-3 left last I spoke) and he seems to be doing better which has brought me some much needed relief.

My cat is still sick, but we've got him on pain meds and special food with the hope that he'll pass the stones. I'd wanted to do the surgery but honestly It going to be in the ball park of 2k (with the first visit costing me 500usd) and we just don't have that. Thankfully I work from home and can keep an eye on him. I'm doing what I can, and I feel terrible that I can't just solve it right now. The meds make him a little groggy, but he still plays and jumps up on things. I have to watch to make sure he pees, but he's been doing good for the most part.

We're still trying to move. We packed like mad men just so we can guestimate how big a truck we'll need. Our friend already left and is now settling in, but we've got a few months.

Mentally I'm...... ping ponging between states of dread and excitement. I'm also just generally wiped out and could really use a break. I think it's been showing in my work and I really don't like that. I've been trying to push myself especially in my more finished pieces, but I am tired. Next month might have to be more chill. (not that I won't work hard on owed commissions) just I've also been doing a lot of extra stuffs and I need a break.

plans moving forward.
I don't know yet. I've been thinking I want to update how I draw backgrounds maybe I'll make some experimental stuff.
my own personal project is taking a while mostly because I'd consider myself rather new to story telling and really want it to be... maybe not good but decent, while having fun of course. it's slow progress and I really want to sit and make some personal pieces for it. I've got the beginning basically figured out so maybe I'll try to draw it, or at least some scenes. (part of me wishes I would have waited to start this till after the move, but it is what it is)

I've really been liking creature club. It's kinda small and I have no idea what I'm doing, but some fun designs have come out of it. Especially this month. We switched up the basic format and now everyone can submit a little character design idea based on the theme of that month. Probably will go back to Owlins tomorrow.

I haven't been totally impressed with my stickers lately. I had the mimic and the displacer beast. I like them fine...painting the mimic was so refreshing, but I also feel like I can do better. I think I need to redo the displacer for sure. I've got some ideas, and I'd really like to take another crack at it before calling it quits.

Anyhow... I'm ok... too much drama for artists and ttrpg fans this year... too much sick drama, and moving drama, but I'm ok. Writing down my thoughts helps at least
and if you read this then thank you for taking the time to do so. You didn't have to, but it means a lot that you did.

was a little under the weather this weekend

(warning I need to vent)

I won't lie I've been so stressed out lately. We've been getting ready to move for what feels like forever now, and now the day is fast approaching. We still have a few months, but a friend who wanted to move up with us is going early and will be gone in basically a week now. I'm so nervous as we look for a place to find everything is pretty expensive and we're still not 100 percent sure if my roommate will get the job they were after (part of the reason we're going up is because another friend said they'd be able to get them in). So right now everything feels like a big IF

On top of that
last year my father was diagnosed with cancer. He's been getting treatments, but he hasn't been doing super great. Its not the cancer, its the medicine. He's almost done and will be before we move, but its like watching him melt. He's cold all the time and can't keep food down. He's always been really good about putting on a brave face, but man he looks rough. What's worse is that there's just not much I can do to help. I hate that feeling. We don't live close anymore, and really the only thing I can do is call and it just doesn't feel good enough. Part of me wants to stay and look after the family and the rest of me really hates the idea of staying where we are because we just don't feel safe anymore.

Watching my own mother struggle with this as my grandfather and grandmother are also just not doing super great. They're both in their late 80's now, and... the only way to describe it is... they're not all there anymore. It's been hard to watch. My mother too hates where she lives. She's hated it her whole life, but she never left. I love my family, but... and I really hate to admit this because it always sounds so cruel in my head... I don't want to get stuck here. I'm also just... really struggling with the concept of loss at the moment. I've never really lost any close family members, and I'm trying to brace myself, but I don't feel sad like I thought... I just don't feel much of anything.

and now my poor cat is sick. We're taking him in
but I'm just very overwhelmed

I do have some slots available if anyone is interested
