I was thinking of an old webcomic I use to love and found it on Comic Fury. So I joined to catch up on the comic and read their new comics. (See their comics, Human BL warning lol)

It was REALLY easy to add Neon Glow to the site, so if anyone want to follow that series there, go for it! https://comicfury.com/profile.php?username=KristKC

Kind of makes me want to make some new comics, but I'm pretty busy RN. we'll see where things go. lol

DINOSAUR?!?! Leave a comment!! 😆

If you're one of my commissioners and want the art you ordered from me in the art book, fill this out: https://forms.gle/GHqmEydQJDueMtPf8

I'll be making a better announcement on it later when I can make a better mock up of the book.

I have a sketch of the cover on Blue Sky: https://bsky.app/profile/kristkc.bs...../3m232xxows22d

Birbs?

Do you have pet birb?

Thought I would give an update on my surgery.

As a quick review for anyone new on this, I've been getting scalp cysts off my head. I recently got #4 off.

The stiches removed and the woond opened like the last one. So I have hole to heal. I've been sleeping sitting up on the couch for 2 weeks and not getting good sleep because of this. It's been mildly stinging. Sorry for being slow on commissions, this is why. I should have put a not on my Trillo but forgot. My focus has been crazy these few weeks.

I have one more cyst I was going to remove on the back of my neck/head. I keep going back and forth if I should do it. I mean, it needs to be done. I need to get these off sooner so they are not as bad to heal.
But like IDK if like I'm kind of getting tired of all this healing. I feel fat and lazy because I can't exercise. (They told me not to let the blood rush to my head)
I'm sure if I go though with the 5th one. I'll deal with it. Everyone around me better accept my complaining. It makes me feel better lol

It's also defeating that I have 4 more cysts beyond the 5th one. One should come off soon, another is getting there. The others are pretty small and new.

Anyway, just wanted to update everyone.

I'll probably be making my order Monday or Tuesday so you'll need to contact me before then so I have time to prep the file. See this journal for details: https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/11216606/

I'm thinking February/March might be a potential next time I might order more. Hoping the art book pre-order will be in Feb.
So if you missed out, there will HOPEFULLY be more opportunities.

I'm putting together an order for my shop. I can do one offs on acrylic keychains, standees, and pins. If you've ordered art from me, I could use that to turn it into one of these things. I can do stickers, but it would be a batch of 10 stickers. I can give you a quote on the cost. It will be different from my shop. I'll ask you to pay for shipping, so keep that in mind. If by chance the product gets misprinted, I'll give a refund (minus tweaks). We can try again on another batch. If I need to tweak the art to make it work for the product, there might be a bit of cost for my work. Work needs to be SFW.

I have to have the raw file, I have art back to 2016. Keep in mind, some art might be messed up over time.

- Items:
Acrylic Keychains
Acrylic Standiees
Acrylic Pin
Stickers (batch of 10)

- Options: (these can make it cost more)
Holographic acrylic
Holographic glitter effects over the art
Glow In The Dark
Colored Acrylic
Different shaped keyrings and colors.

- Piggyback off what I'm ordering for maybe a cheaper cost:
Clear Acrylic keychains
Normal white stickers
Glow in the Dark Keychains
Glow in the Dark Stickers (glow paper has a blue tent to it and is holographic)
Single Charm Staddee

- Things to keep in mind:
Badges would probably make good keychains. I might need to do something, so the text is flipped, so keep that in mind.
I can separate the character from the background.
We can do the standees with the backgrounds behind them. But I might need to tweak the background because I didn't color properly behind the character. lol

Unfortunately, I don't have time to make all new art for these things. If you want new art, you'll have to wait for my next order. You can order it now and let me know what it's for. RN I have no plans for my next order, I kind of need to recoup some funds. If things go well, I might do one around spring.


- How to order:
Note me this info:
~ My gallery URL of the art you want:
~ What do you want it on:
~ Any extra details?

I'll give you a quote and if we agree I'll add you to my next batch.

I wanted to give this a try, I know some of you like your art on physical things. Feel free to ask questions!

After my fall shop batch, I would be interested in doing an art book to showcase my art of the year. I have some questions for you: https://forms.gle/GQnboSwmaSSKzE9k9

Thanks! 💙

Tomorrow I'm getting another cyst off my head. This is just a small surgery, but I'll be in pain, working slow for the next two weeks.

This will be my 4th one for the year. I have one more later. XD

OK! I CAN SHIP TO THE EU NOW!! (I hope 🥲)

⭐ https://kristkc.etsy.com

If anyone ever has problems getting an item, let me know, lol

There are a few stickers that are US only, these are old stickers I had made about 7 years ago and can't provide information on. The art is on RedBubble if you feel you're missing out: https://www.redbubble.com/people/Al.....aKC/shop?asc=u

Shop is here: https://kristkc.etsy.com

I'm changing some things up. Free shipping in the US is eating up cost, so I'm disabling it, but I lowered the cost of things a bit.

I have some keychains that came in misaligned. I'm going to sell those this week at a discounted rate. I only have 5 of them, though. lol
They are still supper cute!

I've been working hard on figuring out the information I need for shipping to the EU. I think I've made a breakthrough, but I need to gather some more info from my manufactures. I know I have EU friends that want to buy things. Hopefully, shipping will be here soon!

Over all, I'm not making the sales I was hoping for. I know it's probably not the best time to be doing this with everything that's going on in the world, rn. But I am giving it a hard try because I'm having a LOT of fun making things. I keep hearing positive feedback on what I'm making.

I'm slowly dripping out the things, here is the current Schedule:

week 1 (next week)
- HummingBorb (Sticker)
Lycaon (sticker/Keychain)

Week 3
- Killer Opossum (Sticker)
- Lucario lil' friend (sticker Keychain)

Week 5
- Anubis (sticker/Keychain)
- Sekhmet (sticker/Keychain)
- Horis (sticker/Keychain)

Week 7
- Narikol (sticker/Keychain)
Thrasher (Sticker)

After the Week 5, I plan to run a banner ad on FA.

I'm currently working on a new batch of stuffs you can see some of the ideas here:
https://bsky.app/profile/kristkc.bs...../3lwrypzjpfk2o
See 2ed and 3 posts as well.

Let me know what you're interested in or what you would like to see!
Keep in mind, Fan Art type things are risky for me. Kind of sticking with HoyoVerse things because they've stated I'm allowed to do this. Maybe if things sell out faster for me I would branch out into other properties. But for now, I'm more looking for cryptids, animals, myths/legends, and dinosaurs. Or if you know a brand that's said it's OK let me know. (have proof!)

Next year, I'm considering getting a table at https://www.dokidokon.org Just waiting for info to drop.
It's a smol con in Kalamazoo MI. They have anime, gamer, and furry fans there. I like the mix of peeps for what I'm selling. I'm hoping to get into more Anime, Furry, Oddity cons eventually.

I need to expand my horizons, so I'm trying out Tumblr again: https://www.tumblr.com/blog/kristkc

If you want to see where else I am: https://linktr.ee/kristkc

That is all for now, lol
I hope you're having a good day!

My new merch just came in! See it first hand! Join me on:
Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/KristKC

Things have been crazier thank I thoght lol.

So Chris is taking vacation this week. So I dont have my normal time to work, if any time to work. We are driving out of town for two days this week.

I was working on a Etsy shop update, that turned into a bigger order than I expected. I realized the supplier is having an anniversary sale so I'm trying to get together a big batch of stuff together. I have to get it done by latest, monday. So I've been a bit antsy because I also have commissions waiting. I'm pushing ArtFight to the side with all this going on.

I should be back to normal next week! Along with Art Fight! I have been getting sooooo many attacks this year and they've been amazing. I'll be working hard to catch up when things get back to normal. 😈 hehehe


Anyway, hope you're all doing well! 💙

IT"S HERE!!! ✨ https://www.etsy.com/shop/KristKC ✨

So far I'm selling stickers, I hope to do more later.

I have a Blue Sky Give away going on if you want to enter: https://bsky.app/profile/kristkc.bs...../3lp5letolek27


I'll show off more in my gallery eventually. X3




In other news, I got the 3ed Scalp Cyst removed on Monday. Having trouble sleeping because of it. so my focus is bad this week.
I think it's going to heal more normal this time. It doesn't hurt as much today. The one that didn't go well was just hurting the whole time. I have the last removal scheduled for end of June, then I am DONE. lol
I still have one more, a 5th one, that I'm considering IDK I should probably stop. I want things to go back to normal lol

~waiting patently for FA's drive to whatever~

HAPPY MERMAY! To celebrate, I'll be doing a month long 10% off sale on merfolk, mermaids, mermen, merfurries!

When I hit 500 followers on Bluesky, I asked what would people like to see of my fursona. It lead to a YCH with Krist as a merman. I'm slowly working on that. I hope to have ot done soon.

Stickers are coming on Friday. I need to look them over and do some set up, but I hope to have the Etsy shop open this month.
I have a few merfolk related stickers! X3

In other news my head wound finally healed! Took so long! 🥺

Anyway, anyone doing anything special for this MerMay?

I left you all about me having trouble with healing from a smol surgery. It's almost healed now. Still putting some stuff on it. Taking a bit longer than they told me. I figured it would. lol
In about two or three weeks, I do it again! T w T;
Hope for it to go more normally.

I got my business cards ( Pic ) in, and I've ordered a batch of stickers to sell at my Etsy shop when it opens. I think I'm going to sell prints, but I want to see how they do first, so I'm going to print them my self at home. I have a hi-quality printer so they will come out nice. If they sell well, I'll switch to getting them printed beforehand.
There will be one pre-order going on. I'll be pre-ordering a pride set. I have an example on the way. ( Preview )

I was going to do a pre-order set of Pokemon Acrylic keychains, but with the chaos in tariffs, I'm holding off. This way I can insure price and the quality I want for them.

You can follow my Discord to see what I'm doing with the shop.

Hoping this shop goes well, I would love to do bigger things like Plushies and who knows what. Like someone said, "I want your OCs arm warmers." Made me think, "can I sell this?... 🤔 "

IDK I'm having fun with the ideas but also scared things won't work out. I spent my Birthday money on this!! XD

NO FOR RAFFLE! This is a Free BlueSky Raffle. To enter: https://bsky.app/profile/kristkc.bs...../3lnkzcnb5ak2o

The second paragraph I'll go into details related to surgery issues. If that will grosses you out, all you really need to know is I'm ok and I've canceled my April apt for healing time.


So to review, I'm trying to get some scalp cysts off my head. They originally scheduled me to have one done a week. I did the first one, the biggest one. No problems, hurt a bit the first day or two then fine. They couldn't do the next smaller one. So I had them do one that's hurt on and off. This fucker wasn't going to go so nicely! The stiches hurt the whole time. I was eager to have the stiches out but worried why they hurt so much. When they removed them. They said it looked like it was going to split open a bit but it should heal up fine. It felt better getting the stiches out but it's still been hurting and tingling. I had them check it today and they said it's healing well. Maybe another two weeks till it's all healed up.
I've not been sleeping well for like 3 weeks because of the pain and being uncomfortable.

All this is scary to me. I had surgery on my ear as a kid. Everything related is scary. This issue freaks me out. But I know I'll be ok. As much as I don't want to do this, i need to get some off my head. Maybe it wouldn't have been so bad if I got them off sooner. I need some healing brake before I do another one so I canceled my appointment this month. I'll go into round 3 next month.

I still have a 4th one I was going to do. It's a bit up in the air if I want to still do it. Maybe I will if the 3ed one goes better.

Btw I'm not upset at them for this. I think this happens sometimes with scalp cysts removal. Something I'll have to deal with. 🥲

Anyway sorry for the wierd or grows journal. I hope your all doing well

Canceling my B-day stream for now. I've been a bit stressed, and it's making me a bit behind. I need to keep on schedule because I have a series of smol surgeries coming up this month. Nothing major. I have a lot of cyclists on my scalp. Some are too big, others are irritating, so I'm getting them removed. I asked for a quote, but they've been having a hard time communicating insurance, so I was told it's ether $50 or $700. I'm just a bit wiped out rn because I got a crown and more housework last month. @ n @,
Whatever happens, I'll be fine and work though it. Just don't feel like I can take a day off to draw mermen for myself. lol Maybe I can come back to it at the end of the month or something.

HOWEVER!! I've been watching things and I still feel that strong desire to do the Etsy shop. I got some money for my birthday, so I'm thinking about buying some products to sell. I've been trying to figure things out around that. I did some price comparing where I can get prints done and such. I need to come up with a plan on what I can get for what I have. I was thinking a combo of stickers and prints, along with a keychain pre-order. I want to shoot for Mermay, but IDK if that will happen. I need to draw things and order them with time to get here. So yeah, I'm pretty excited about this. Follow on my Discord if you want to see what I'm working on.
The Mermen pic was going to do for the stream would be a print in my shop.

That's all that's going on. I hope you all are doing well! You may use this journal as a way to say hi, chat, ask questions, show me something cool, or whatever. I would love to hear from you! 💙

BIRFDAY WEEKEND!!! Usually my birthday is in the middle of the week but rare occasion it's on SATURDAY!!! March 1st.

First off for this occasion from Now to Monday 3ed. 20% off on Merman related commissions!! 💙 🧜‍♂️ 💙

Friday, I'm taking a day for myself. I might work on the Stream pic, art for myself or the Wriothesley plush I've started.

Monday, I'm doing the birthday stream on Twitch! I'll be drawing a merman pic like I do every year.

I asked for money from my parents because there was this awesome plush I was eyeing. But like, Maybe instead I'll put that money into the Etsy shop. > w >;
I just can't stop wanting to do this, so maybe I should push for it. But we'll see how much I get, and see from there.

Also, not doing anything supper amazing for my BD. Nothing like supper fun to do around here because it's march, cold, crummy looking outside. Every year we go up to Grand Rapids, get Ramen and walk around places. Would be fun to do a meet up sometime, but I don't know how many of you are in the Michiana area (lower Michigan, Upper Indiana).

I hope you spend the day with loved ones. Not just your significant other, but also with friends and family! May we all have a nice weekend!

Love ya all! ~KC
