Hey there! Just a little update for those who might be curious :)

Things have been going okay for me so far - I’m almost done with my diploma work, finally settling into the new place, and overall I’ve been feeling pretty alright ^^
Lots of stuff happened lately, and I had a long break from drawing because of uni, but now that I’m almost free from that and really missed drawing, I’m sure I’ll be getting back into it full-time this month!!

There is some bad news though, and it’s about my dog again. Unfortunately, it turns out the problems with vision in her remaining eye are caused by high pressure. The previous treatment didn’t help much, so the vet prescribed another set of eye drops - but it’s likely they won’t help either. The vet suggested surgery (which also probably won’t fix anything, but it’s a possibility), and it’s super expensive - way more than I can afford, especially with such short notice. I’m gonna do my best to take on commissions again and save up, but honestly, it’s a lot of money for me and I’m not sure I’ll make it in time. Worst case, the pressure might push the lens out and we’ll have to remove the second eye too… Even if we do go through with the surgery, there’s no guarantee it’ll work - best outcome would be some blurry long-distance vision, but not full sight. So yeah… it’s all really heartbreaking and overwhelming. I’m still trying to figure out what to do. I’ve got around 3 months to see if the new treatment helps.

Now, about commissions:
Since I’m really gonna push myself to save up, I’m planning to reopen commissions right after I finish up with uni. I’ll be raising my prices and expanding the kind of stuff I offer - this includes a bunch of NSFW and fetish-themed work. I’m probably gonna make a separate profile for it too, ‘cause I don’t wanna mix babyfur stuff with the heavier NSFW in one place…
I’d actually really appreciate it if you could share what kind of fetishes or NSFW themes you're into? No pressure to buy anything - I just wanna know what folks are most interested in. I’m open to all kinds of nasty stuff lol :P (except anything involving minors, but everything else - feel free to throw it at me!) If you’re shy, feel free to DM me instead - that’d be awesome too!

By the way, I put up some characters I once bought for sale, please take a look, maybe you'll like some of them, I think the wonies are very cool! And I'm open to discussing the price if you're really interested :) https://toyhou.se/korri/characters/folder:6922191

For everyone still waiting on gift and others art - I haven’t forgotten! I’ll get back to it as soon as I can. Thanks so much for your patience, seriously!!

I think that’s all I wanted to say for now. I’ll be back real soon :3 Oh, and happy pride month to you all!!!
Love ya!

Hi. This is a short update since I've been quiet for a while.

I have already left my country and am in the process of moving, visiting my family on my way to my destination, have been here for a while but will be moving on soon. Just wanted to say I'm fine, although I feel a little bad, in terms of drawing. I took too much of a break while I was busy with studies and university, and I'm going through a bit of an art block at the moment for new work, I guess I should just finish all the current tasks, rest properly, and keep going. I'll be fine, I know that, I just need time, life changes and I'm trying to stay afloat.

Sad news about my dog, the enhanced eye drop treatment is working worse now, she really can't see anything after sleeping in the morning on his morning walk, although most of the day it's not bad. I suppose it will get worse but so far she is doing ok, she has time to get used to the missing vision and we have time to help her with that. Other than that, she's fine.

I don't think I'll be active here for at least a few months until I graduate in the summer, but I'm sure things will be much better after that. I'll try to post little sketches or something from time to time just to keep my skills up (more than I do now anyway), so I'll see you later.

Love ya!

Hi!
This is a quick update on my previous journal about my dog and her vision problems. Today was a visit to our vet and I now have a little more information about her condition: significantly elevated blood pressure and swelling of the cornea of her eye. The vet suggests that the deterioration is due to both a general predisposition and the snowy weather (the bright light that reflects off the snow is too blinding to her eye and is causing the condition to worsen). The good news is that this is not permanent deterioration, she can still see most of the time! The doctor has prescribed a new more intensive eye drop regimen to relieve the pressure in her eye, but otherwise we should just monitor her condition for now. A follow-up visit is scheduled in 1.5 weeks, at which time we will be able to see if this is working. In any case, the doctor told us to be prepared that sooner or later she will lose her sight completely, we can only delay this moment with the treatment.

Overall she is fine and was a very good girl on the way to the clinic and home, hehehe, take a look and see for yourself! https://imgur.com/NFPSDKG

Thank you so much for helping my good friend from the previous post <3 I don't need any more donations at the moment, it's not as bad as it could be, the previous donation was used to cover the cost of eye drops as now they need to buy more.

Hope all is well with you guys! Have a nice day ^^

Hi!
I apologize that my journal postings have increased in frequency, I hope it's not too intrusive for you :/

Um... so what I wanted to say is about my dog. I have a dog, here is a picture of it lol https://imgur.com/e961bdu
As you can see she is missing one eye, it had to be removed due to an injury she had a few years ago. In consultation with the vet, he said that vision problems are generally typical of terrier class dogs and although the injury was not too serious, her genetic predisposition to eye disease caused complications that led to the eye having to be removed. The doctor also told us that it was highly likely that her other healthy eye would eventually stop seeing as well, so we used eye drops for several years to slow this process down.
Everything went well for those few years, but unfortunately my mom (who my dog now lives with) said that a few days ago, her vision deteriorated dramatically, she started bumping into objects, walking slowly and cautiously, as if by feel, and her eye became more cloudy. This probably means that she will soon lose her sight completely. It's not certain yet, they have a doctor's appointment for January 20, but I fear that the drops are no longer helping and she may stop seeing completely soon. I am waiting for the results of the doctor's visit to know what we should do next. It wouldn't be so bad if she was already old and this would be normal for her age. But now she is only 8 years old and I am sad that this young dog will probably be blind for the rest of her life. I expected this to happen sooner or later, and of course it's not a death sentence and she can still live pretty much full time without sight as sight is not the most important sense for a dog, but it's all terribly sad. We'll see if it can still be affected.

The reason I'm writing this here is that since my mom is taking care of my dog now, she is basically financially responsible for her as well, and most of the expenses are on her now. I try to help her as much as I can, but honestly now is the worst time to break this news as I am heavily loaded with the costs of the upcoming move. So if any of you guys would like to help me out a bit with this, I would be eternally grateful for a donation. This is strictly voluntary and again, the situation isn't critical, but since I don't know how serious it is yet, I want to financially prepare myself for the likely costs. I'm also very busy with commission work right now so I can't do any new commissions yet, but I will thank you with a small gift of art for your help, just send me a link to your character here or in my notes.

Here's my PayPal:
serpantin.stn.u[at]gmail.com

Please write your FA nickname in the comments for payment so I can thank you for help! I'll let you know the results of my doctor's visit once I have more information.

Love ya!

I went to the dentist today to start my teeth treatment, but because of my phobia (?) of all things medical I got sick during the dental x-ray, so I passed out, fell and hit my head on the floor or wall :( i was just scared i guess, or rather i scared myself, literally for 15 seconds while the x-ray machine was working i had a string of scary thoughts in my head about diseases and stuff, i couldn't control it >< it's not the first time this has happened, but it's probably the first time i actually hit my head, so i had a headache all day and i was afraid it was a mild concussion, but i'm better now, luckily it wasn't a serious injury :3 I had to go home instead of starting my dental treatment, but I will start that in the next few days, I think I'll be fine!

the good news is that tomorrow (jan 10) is my birthday, so i'm happy, i love my birthday hehehe >:3

hope you're doing well! I Love ya!! ^^

Please check out this adorable YCH from my best friend   julisa.art !!! She really needs support and help right now, and you can get wonderful art for a very nice price <333

Hii!!!
I found out that the monthly updates are helping me keep my head on track a little better, so thank you if you decide to read this)) it will be quite short!

I've been feeling much better this month, although a few days before I had a bad mental state, I was angry and sad at the same time, still no appetite and I'm constantly worrying about stuff so I can't say I'm stable. I must be just very tired and stressed because of my university studies, but at the same time resting doesn't help me because I feel like I'm wasting time and it makes it worse, so I try to work hard because my progress improves my mood and that's probably the only thing that can help me now, hard work.

Good news! I now have someone to help me sort myself out a bit and give me good advice on how to get rid of procrastination and bad anxious thoughts. I can't say it's instantly changed my life, but I'm working hard to implement all the recommendations. After all, I spent a few years sinking deeper and deeper into a vicious cycle of deadlines, unfulfilled commitments and anxiety, so it takes me a while to fix it. I analyze many things and can see what I did wrong. Once all my commitments to my customers are fulfilled I will have a lot of time to think about it well and not make such mistakes again.

I have a realistic work schedule that will allow me to fulfill all orders before the move (I expect it to be sooner, but the end of February is the final point). I'm looking forward to being free from anxiety and the pressurized feeling in my head and chest, and it motivates me to work hard! It's probably not the best motivation lol, but for now it's the only way I can see out of this cycle. Eventually I'll be fine and ready to keep moving forward :)

I think that's all I wanted to say for now so as not to take up too much of your time. Thank you so much for reading this! Hope your holiday preparations are fun for you :)
Love ya <3

(ps: i'm also looking forward to drawing lots of gift art for people i know or for random strangers!!! i promise to open requests for anyone interested when i'm free and ready to do so :3)

Hey, guys!

It's been a month since my last journal in which I talked about my upcoming move. At that time I estimated that it would take us 2-3 months, but now I know that we will move at the end of February, which is another 3 months from today. This is due to the post-vaccination quarantine that our cat needs to go through before we can take him out of the country and into the EU, that's the requirement. It's not bad, although we expected a faster move, but it's okay if it's required so we can take our cat with us.
The bad part is that it means we will most likely spend several months suffering from heating problems and daily blackouts. Due to russian shelling of the heating and power infrastructure. Obviously this will be the case, since the first major shelling of this heating season happened a couple of days ago, the system has already suffered and blackouts are already happening, although not as severe so far.

I want to emphasize that we are lucky to be able to go to a calmer place and no longer fear for our lives, it is a great luck for us, no matter how painful it is to leave our home. But not all Ukrainians have this opportunity, they suffer every day from terrorist attacks by russia. They lose their homes, their property, their health, their family, their friends, their loved ones and their lives. EVERY DAY. Remember this at least today, because today is exactly 1000 days since the beginning of the full-scale war in Ukraine.

Back to the topic, the good news is that I will be able to finish all my work without rushing and fussing, this is especially good considering that I am currently very busy not only with work on commissions, but also at the university, I am currently doing an educational internship and also working on my diploma project! So yes, I will definitely need these 3 months to settle all my affairs before the difficult period of moving and adapting to a new place begins. Work on completing current orders continues, maybe not as quickly as I would like, but at least better than it was before, besides, I do not take on a large number of new orders so as not to overload the queue, and those that I accept I complete in a short time as a rule. I am also working on myself and my main problem - chronic procrastination, and I already have some success in this. Setting a clear schedule for the next day before I go to bed helps me a lot: I write down all my plans for every hour and try to stick to this schedule. It does not always turn out perfectly, but it is better than before! I'm sure I'll be fine eventually.

Thanks for taking the time to read this! Just wanted to share my news with someone and keep you updated. See ya! <3

Hey guys :')

Um well, it took me a while to write this post, actually I just want to give some information for those who are expecting commissions from me. This is going to be a long reflective post but you don't have to read it in full, at the bottom there will be a short summary with the most important thing I wanna say.

Basically, I've been having a lot of trouble with deadlines for commissions for a long time, I'm trying to work as hard as I can to get it done as soon as possible, but time after time I'm very late with deadlines, for which I am eternally ashamed and frustrated, if I could manage myself more effectively I would probably do a lot better than what I have now, I mean in commissions and my level of progression in drawing. It's hard for me to say why this happens, most likely I have things in my head that prevent me from thinking clearly and being effective, at the same time I don't have any diagnosed disorders and I haven't sought help for it yet. It doesn't just apply to art, but to absolutely all areas of life, I always get things done late no matter how hard I try to talk myself into “doing it here and now”, I end up putting things off or having a bunch of other unfinished things to do. I've spent several years in this state and as a result I have a snowball effect of a huge backlog of unfinished tasks, lots and lots of deadlines, promises, plans and wishes that I'm unable to fulfill or even start because of my silly head. I don't consider myself a lazy or stupid person, I'm quite a hard worker and I love to draw, but something in my mind always prevents me from doing it efficiently and meeting deadlines. I don't want to make excuses, it's just my responsibility, it was my responsibility to seek help and get my life together before I took the job and took people's money, and I'm sorry I procrastinated for so long, forcing my endlessly patient customers to wait, I'm sorry for that, I don't want to abuse your trust and patience ever again.
Well, of course, because of all this I have a big problem with money, despite how many commissions I have in the works now, I am still desperate for money, considering that living is now much more expensive and difficult in my country. That's why I desperately kept working on more YCHs and commissions, racking up more and more orders, continuing to shamelessly delay deadlines and keep people waiting. I have no malice or desire to take the money and put the work on hold, I enjoy what I paint, I'm sure it's my life's work. But it's insanely hard for me to deal with it in a timely manner and I realize that it can't go on, I have to put an end to it, it's only fair.
I say all this trying to be as honest as possible and not hiding my problems, first of all I try to admit it all to myself, because that's the only way I can be honest with others, that's why I do it. I realize that if this continues, I will completely lose my reputation and name, I do not want to have problems, after all, so far I have been able to avoid them only thanks to the patience of my customers, I am eternally grateful for this to each of you, I'm very sorry....

Ok, after having said all that, I gotta say what I'm going to do next. In 2-3 months I'm going to move to another country to reboot my life and be able to find a physical job through which I can support myself for indefinite period of time. During these months before the move I will completely finish all art debts to my customers, including gift art as compensation for the long wait. I will also be open to orders for YCH during these months, but only those that I REALLY can fulfill in a quick time frame, as I still need to support myself until the move. After that, I will close the main part of my commissions until I feel better enough to return to full-time work as an artist. That is, once I move, I'll probably only be open to small infrequent commissions.
Of course, I'm not going to give up art or take a long break from painting, as it's probably one of the things that gives my life meaning, heh..... I will continue to paint and study in my spare time, but it will stop being my main job for a while until I get my internal and financial problems sorted out.
Thank you all so much for your patience and endless kindness! I appreciate it so much and I am truly sorry if I disappoint you at times, I hope the wait is at least worth the result ^^' at least I try my best for this, believe me.

Once again briefly and for those who do not have time to read:
Due to my internal mental and money problems, I am going to temporarily emigrate to another country in 2-3 months. Before the move, that is, within 2-3 months, I will complete all orders for customers, including gift art. During this time, I will be open to small quick YCHs that will allow me to stay afloat until I get settled in the new place. After that, I will close most of my commissions until I feel better and can return to full-time work for commissions. I'm not giving up drawing and will continue to be active as an artist in my spare time, and will be open to occasional commissions, but not too often, so I can relearn how to meet deadlines.

Thank you again for listening to me! If you have any further questions or clarifications, feel free to message me.
Love ya!!!

A repost of the journal is greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks to our fucking neighboring country that fucked up our power grid with their fucking rockets, I only have 6 hours of light a day now. Of course this is increased by a few hours due to the battery life of my laptop, but I have to spend these glorious hours in unbelievable heat because I can't turn on the fan or wash in cold water (no light - no water lol). Sorry for the delays, I try to make the most of the time I can even if I have to fry my ass on a leather chair.

☀️Hi there!☀️
So, I decided to create a separate journal for some general rules for adopt, ych and other works that you want to order or buy. Please read it very carefully.

- All orders are executed in turn order.
- The deadline starts from the moment when I started to fulfill your order.
- The deadline is determined depending on the complexity of the YCH, and usually ranges from 1 week to 1 month, but complex work may take more time.
- You can check with me for a more accurate deadline, and I also indicate it under each YCH.
- You can ask me to show you each separate stage of the work, but if you do not ask me, then I will show you only the sketch and the final work.
- If any mistake occurred due to my fault, I will fix it for free.
- If you change your mind and want to change something in the finished work (after the approval of the sketch), I can ask for an additional payment for editing (usually I do not ask for an additional payment, but if the work is almost ready or the edit is really big, you will need to pay).
- Please do not bid if you are not sure if you can pay.
- You cannot delete your bet or refuse it.

🧃Adopt

- At the same time, you don't have to link to me if you publish a character reference anywhere.
- Please do not bid if you are not sure if you can pay for a character.
- You cannot delete your bet or refuse it.

- For a sketch or line art, only a full prepayment. For full art (color + shadow) payment is possible after sketch.
- I will not refund money if you refuse to work after payment.
