Personal Tragedy and Commissioned Art Tentative Plan/Query
General | Posted a day ago Hey Little Ones and Bigs ...
My mom passed away on Monday following a touch and go situation after she had a stroke last month. Despite the situation, this was still an unexpected outcome and we are all devastated and in shock. I am handling all of the funeral arrangements and logistics; it's been heavy and impossible and daunting. I am not sure when it'll feel real... or if it ever will. She was only 74.
I might share a post down the line about my mom, and how who she was influenced who I am, including her support of my art and presence in the furry community.
In an entirely unrelated note, I have a lot of art of Pixel! I want to upload it somewhere.
Do I upload it onto my profile here, in scraps?
Or do I make a different FA just for commissioned art?
Thoughts?
I am not sure how much drawing I'll be doing in my grief. I do have like 5-6 pieces to upload to my main gallery here still, but uploading art I have commissioned in the past may be a way to still connect with the community while I myself am slowing down creating. Any ideas or insights are really appreciated.
Additionally, if anyone has lost a parent, especially those who then had to take over affairs including caretaking for the living elderly parent, and has insights or experience they can lend, I would be truly appreciative.

Okay guess I'm not really taking a hiatus
General | Posted 2 months agoLife Update & What's Ahead!
Taking Some Time Away From School & Work
Due to some health things and personal circumstances, I've stepped back from both grad school and work for the time being. For maybe a month? It's not a decision I made lightly, but it's the right one for me right now, and I'm focusing on taking care of myself.
Art & Commissions; FR FR Expectations
Here's the thing: my health means some days I feel good enough to draw, and some days I really don't. There's no predictable schedule I can promise right now, and I'd rather be upfront about that than disappear without a word. It's annoying, for you and me... but idk what to do about it.
What that means practically:
Commissions are open when I have the energy: watch my Telegram channel for slot announcements, as that's where I'll post first.
Personal pieces and trades will happen when they happen. I honestly might take the time to focus on that sort of stuff since I don't want commissioners to be waiting maybe a month or 3 for work to be finished. I would love feedback from ya'll on that though?
I have a backlog of finished work I'll be posting here as I'm able, so there is new art coming
Keep in Touch With Meeee
If you want real-time updates, my Telegram channel is the best place to be. That's where I post WIPs, announcements, etc. FA journals will follow when I have the spoons for it.
You can also find all my links, prices, and examples at my carrd:

Semester Hiatus and Updates!
General | Posted 2 months agoUpdates & News!
Telegram Milestone!
My Telegram channel hit 100+ followers!
Thank you all so much! Charlie pup won the raffle and I'll be posting their piece soon. If you haven't joined yet, come hang out:
https://t.me/PixelPupsPixels
Valentine's YCH Staying Open!
The Valentine's YCH was popular enough that I've decided to keep it available whenever I'm taking commissions!
New Carrd!
I finally made a carrd with all my links, prices, and examples in one place:
https://pixelpupaussie.carrd.co/
School Schedule: Commission Hiatus
My next grad school semester starts the week of February 25th.
I'm in a Master's program with 3 semesters a year, 10 weeks each. During those 10 weeks, I generally don't take on commissions and may or may not draw. I might still work on personal pieces or trades, but expect things to slow down!
There may be opportunities for a single slot here or there during the semester; those will be announced on my Telegram channel.
Thank You New Followers!
Welcome to all the new watchers! I'm planning to host a raffle when my FA hits 100 followers. If it happens during the semester, the raffle will be delayed until after those 10 weeks are done!

Caught Up!
General | Posted 3 months agoWow! Well it took a few weeks, but my art from the past year is now uploaded onto this gallery! Maybe at some point I'll post the really old stuff, but I can't be bothered to as it stands right now.
Welcome!
To all the new watchers, faves, and friends! Thank you for your support. I wish I had the energy to contact every one of you and thank you and strike up conversation. I explain a bit about my fatigue limitations in my previous journal if you're curious. Still, I am eternally grateful and excited to share my work with you.
So what's next?
Commissions
Commissions are OPEN! Check out my carrd to see prices for customs and open YCHs. Feel free to note me here if interested.
https://pixelpupaussie.carrd.co/
Valentine's Day
I will be uploading a multislot ych soon for Valentine's day completion!
If the adopts I cooked up don't sell on my telegram channel, I'll be posting them to bsky and here as well.
Note about my work flow
I like to draw! A lot! But it comes in fits and spurts. In addition to a job where I pretend to be an adult for 40 hours a week, I am part time in a masters program so when classes are happening my art slows to a trickle or stops. Stick with me through the feasts and famines and I'll keep creating for you all!
Giveaway????
I'm thinking when I hit 100 followers I'll do some kind of raffle. Curious to hear what people like to see! It could be something like a full body sketch, a simple avatar, or even recoloring my adoptable base to a custom ref. Any ideas are welcome! As numbers climb I'll have the motivation to make more raffles with better prizes.
Again, thank you all for the support and encouragement!!

Watchers and Faves: PSA and Thank You!!!
General | Posted 3 months agoHiya everyone! Big borks and lil hugs!
I wanted to take a moment to say a massive thank you to all the new watchers who have joined me recently, as well as everyone who has been stopping by to leave faves and kind comments. Seeing the notifications light up like this has been so surprising and humbling, and I truly appreciate the support!
A Note on Responses
I wanted to be upfront and let you all know that because of my disability, I often have a very limited number of spoons (energy/capacity) each day. While I see every single fave and new watch, I don’t always have the energy to respond to everyone individually or thank you one-on-one. Please know that even if I can’t reply, your support means the world to me and truly keeps me motivated to keep creating!
Upload Schedule
In terms of my art backlog, I’m currently in the process of getting everything organized! I’m planning to be fully up to date with my recent uploads within the next few weeks, so keep an eye out for a journey announcing that it is all new pieces moving forward! Woof!!!
Thank you all again for being such an awesome community and for your patience and understanding.
