Changes and Pauses
Posted 3 months agoHello all,
Don't worry I'm not going anywhere. This is more a state of the bunion [boooooo]
First and foremost, I'd like to thank all of you for your continued support over the years. It has meant a lot to know that there is an audience for my content and my weird ideas, and I appreciate you all.
Life has been difficult lately - which I'm sure it has been for most of us these days. I got laid off in March, but before that my career and income had stagnated despite the workload getting bigger and bigger. I am on the hunt for a new fulltime job, one that can afford me a better living situation and other new opportunities.
The same can be said about my creative content. I've enjoyed the work I've produced for all of my commissioners, but lately it's begun to feel like I'm more spinning my wheels than growing as an artist. And it's taken a lot of introspection to understand how I got here, but I've narrowed it down in a few ways:
1. I'm taking on too many commissions at once, fracturing my already ADHD-riddled attention span into too many shards.
2. I'm not leaving any time for personal projects, so all my own personal dreams are sitting on a shelf collecting dust
I could talk about being pidgeon-holed into niche content, but that's my fault for not being more selective and just saying yes every time somebody wants to commission me. I'm flattered, and I want to make everyone happy, but I need to focus on making myself happy first - at least for a little while.
So, here's what we're gonna do...
I've paused my Patreon for the month of July. I may do it for the month of August too, remains to be seen. I will be rearranging the tiers a little bit, providing rewards that are more concrete and more deserving of your support. This will likely come in the form of behind-the-scenes stuff, but it will coincide with new releases as I am not organized enough to remember WIP Wednesdays. Nothing concrete yet, but I'll see what Patreon has to offer these days.
On the topic of tiers, I will be shutting down the $20 tier, and I will not be offering any tiers in the future that come with a reward commission. It just disrupts my schedule and adds undue stress, which is my own fault.
Secondly, and this is probably more significant, I will be changing how I receive commissions. This is probably going to be a work in progress because I owe it to everyone who has paid me already to finish their commissions, which I intend to do. But in the future I will be limiting my commish basket to two lanes - large and small projects. I will only take one of each at a time. And I will start considering myself a commissioner too, so there may be times I'm just working on stuff for myself.
Finally, I will be cutting a few commission types out completely. I will not be offering VRChat avatars, or any avatars requiring work in Unity, in the near future. I simply do not have the bandwidth to catch up with my peers and offer comparable quality. I will seek out a plan to work with other avatar artists, but it will not be showing up on my commission menu any time soon, if at all.
I'm sure this is a lot to take in, and I apologize for the long diatribe. But change is in the air, and that's a good thing. I hope you see it that way too, and I once again thank you for all your support.
And I promise, exciting things are on the way!
Love,
Whiteshadow Hare

Snakeout YCH
Posted 9 months agoHello Folks! I'm sure by now you've seen my latest animation recreating the kiss from The Bad Guys 2 trailer. if not: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/58954788/
I will be taking YCH commissions to swap these two out! Now you can make out in the car with your favorite noodle!
Just a couple of rules, folks:
Base price for the animation is $180usd, not including the cost of any model work. If you do not have a model, or your model needs repairs, I will include that work in the request and provide a quote for all work.
Can be rendered at 1080HD, or at 4K for an additional $50
The action is WYSIWYG, there will be no alterations to what is happening in this scene.
For right now, the snake should be a feral snake. No nagas, no leggy snakes. I may change that in the near future but for now let's keep it simple.
Snake's lover should not have any extra limbs or protrusions that would get in the way of either the snake's coils or the car itself.
I can offer a fully coiled option where the snake's lover is wrapped from the neck down. Please specify that in your request.
IF the eyes of the snake's lover are visible, I can offer a hypno option. Note I say "If", because if the eyes cannot be seen then there is no point. This works best for long-snouted folks. Please specify in your request if you want hypno.
Please use this handy dandy YCH submission form : https://forms.clickup.com/8517568/f.....8SDBCS0BAHYZPW
Be sure to check "Snake Makeout" as the YCH option

Given that we are in holiday season I will likely not start before Thanksgiving. I thank you in advance for your patience and look forward to makin ya make out!

Who WAS Whiteshadow???
Posted a year agoI've been thinking a lot lately on who I am as a person, as a furry, as an artist. I guess it stems from the notion that I definitely don't feel seen at work as a human being, combined with some sort of mid-life crisis [yes I'm 43 that counts]. Everyone here knows me as "that bun that does 3d coil stuff", and I am definitely that and definitely grateful for all the eyeballs you've plastered on my work over the years. It does make me feel seen, even if just a little.
But before that... before my 2017 post that kind of, well, launched my commission career (this one https://www.furaffinity.net/view/23359085/ ), who was Whiteshadow Hare? Did he even exist? I'm sure it may sound egotistical to some of you, but if you've ever gone through most of your life hiding or even just muting yourself, I'm sure you understand the need to just let loose sometimes.
It was August 1999, about a week before I began my first day of art college as a film student. We had a piano in the house when I grew up, replaced an analog one with a digital one around '94 - a story for another time. So I played, off and on, for years. And I remember watching VH1's "Top 100 artists of all time". I had best friends who were musicians, and a mother who raised me on opera and Rolling Stones, so I knew my way around music. I guess I just felt inspired after watching that, cause I went to the piano and started playing. But this time it wasn't just idle playing - it was something concrete. Before I knew it I had six songs written, lyrics and all. And in that moment, I remember saying to myself...
"Oh shit..."
I knew there was SOMETHING there. I didn't want to be presumptuous, but I could tell that the songwriting was solid. And before that time I had some experience writing fiction [I'm sure most of us did lol]. But something about it just clicked, and I realized in that moment that I WAS, in fact, a musician and a songwriter. As nice as that is, it's not the revelation you want a week before starting on a college degree for a completely different field. But here I was, young and confused, and telling my musical friends about my new revelation. Before I knew it, I was in a band - kinda. I knew my friends were both alpha types, so giving them my music wasn't gonna work cause they'd either reject it or change it completely to fit "their sound" - another story for another day, boy do you folks have a lot of stories ahead of you!
Fast-forward through years of practicing, writing, crying in the bathroom cause I wasn't as talented as some artist I found on mp3.com, or whatever it was in 2000 that indie musicians got their footing on. There was A LOT of crying, and A LOT of candles in my little bathroom as I recorded vocals in there, using a guitar reverb pedal for ambience, bothering our neighbors, and the hours upon hours lost just from tuning the drums. I released ("released" ca 2001: verb, published on a few sleepy artist collective sites) an album, a collection of songs written with a mattress between me and the drummer.
I'll be the first to tell you - the quality sucked. We had peers at the time amazed that we were able to get such a sound in a bedroom with consumer equipment, but let's be honest it still sounds like shit in 2024. Didn't matter, I was proud of the work. I'm still proud of the work even though I hate how I sound in it. Anyway, after college I kept at it, I released albums and EPs in '04 '08 '09 '10 '11 '12 and as recent as '17. I gigged all around New York City, playing clubs ranging from the perpetually "closing time" C-Note on Avenue C and 12st where they complained about my band playing loud music on a saturday night [that night the only people who showed up were my sister and her husband, my now husband, and my best friend - and only cause they were carrying equipment - so I told my buddies to blast it] - all the way up to the prestigious CBGB's a few months before they closed [it was a monday night and it was as much of a shitty dive as the rest of them, so don't be too dazzled].
In 2009 I, along with my musical partner at the time, created an entire album of songs recorded/produced/finished on any mobile phone. You can look it up, but I used the Beatmaker app to create a bunch of quirky instrumental songs. We got some small, local notoriety and a little bit of writeup, and it garnered our first ever manager. A year of that came and went and all we had to show for it was an album of remixes and a lackluster release party, so we parted ways with them in 2011.
By then, I was burnt out. The years of painfully crafted confidence was washed away like a sandcastle on the beach. I chose to split from my creative partner at the time while I figured things out. Shortly after that, I realized that somebody in my relationship needed to put food on the table. With that in mind, I chose to enter the corporate workforce [I previously turned down an offer in 2009 cause I wasn't ready to throw in the towel]. About 5 years later I landed in my current job, after they offered me the salary number I had secretly told myself I'd give up music for.
Seven years have passed since I released my last album and took that offer. I currently despise my job and most of the people I work with. I'm already in the process of looking for another job. But in the process of all this happening, I felt myself slipping away. Despite making a whole bunch of art since then and truly loving the participation I've had in this community, I left an entire part of me outside. I secretly told myself years ago that I couldn't be both - a manifestation of my own self-loathing, about how I couldn't be fully myself if I wanted to make it in "The Biz"[tm].
Recently at work, my humanity has been almost an afterthought - again, part of why I'm looking, but it just underscores this need, this urgency to put my life "on paper," as it were. And yes, this does portend my plans for the future as an artist. There may be fewer coils, fewer lewds. In fact I've made very little self-indulgent porn lately. That could just be the depression, but I think it's something bigger. I've wanted to do bigger, I miss the bigger projects. Each album I wrote felt like I was stepping into an arena, gladius in paw, ready to take on whatever opponent towered over my unassuming figure. I am writing again. I am singing again. Hell, I even bought myself a keytar. I want more for myself, and I intend to do that.
It may mean that I take fewer commissions in lieu of bigger projects. I don't know. I can't say for sure how this revelation will shape my career. All I know is that I'm tired of being this fractured, multi-faceted being showing choice faces to select people.
Anyway, thank you for getting this far.

To Dragoneer
Posted a year agoI am sure my story is much like others here. It was somewhere around 2006 when I first joined FA. I spent years lurking, devouring the content of so many great artists. Other sites at the time felt like sneaking in through the back door of some shady club. FA felt like walking in the front and announcing you belonged. And here I was on the outside with my face pressed against the glass, looking a all these people lovingly share their creativity and their camaraderie. I had so many conflicting emotions at the time, but I knew... I knew I wanted in.
It took me years to participate in the community but FA kept me close until I was ready. And Dragoneer made sure the doors stayed open, even when others wanted it shut down. I've run websites before, so I knew just how heavy a responsibility it has been to keep those doors open. But Dragoneer did it. He carried the torch for all of us, through the slings and arrows, and never walked away from it. He knew how important this place was. It has been a constant in my life, as I am sure it has for countless others.
I never got to tell him just how much his dedication meant to me.
Thank you. Thank you a million times over.
Wherever you are, Neer, I hope you can hear us now. Rest in Peace.

2023 end of year update
Posted 2 years agoHello folks,
First I want to thank all of you for your continued support. Regardless of how I feel or what's going on in my life, doing this is a huge passion and makes a lot of the life-garbage tolerable!
Second I want to thank my commissioners and everybody waiting on my queue for their patience. I know a lot of you have been waiting quite a while for a commission, and that's on me. I should have been more steadfast in telling folks what I can and cannot handle. I don't think having an open form/queue is helping me, it only seems to be stressing me out as I see the requests come in. I should be flattered, and I really am, but I know that I need to do a better job of managing my time.
I had hoped to be a bit more efficient by now, but 2023 was a curveball that I did not anticipate. I was essentially evicted from the apartment I was renting because I complained too much about the noise from my neighbors [technically they didn't renew my lease, and yes I exhausted my legal options but to no avail], so I had to move back home with my mother. I am living at one end of the house with half an apartment in boxes stacked in my home office. I have a sliver of walking space to get to my tiny computer setup. It is downright depressing. The day job has been one work fire after another, one enormous project after another, deadlines that are way too soon, and just the general sense that I am wasting my life there. I do know that a change is in the air as far as my employment goes. I don't know when or how, but I am keeping an eye on the exit sign.
Add to that the general business that happens with being in a multi-faith household, the string of Jewish holidays that happen around September/October, the work deadline right after that, prepping for Anthrocon and later Furpocalypse, the whole household getting covid in the middle of the high holidays, now we're at thanksgiving's door and I got some bullshit sinus infection that just pours gross s*** into my lungs for the past two weeks, the circuit breaker blowing last week leaving half the apartment in the dark overnight, the interest rates in the country essentially barring me from owning a house at this moment in time, and xmas around the corner..... It's a bit much. I am pretty sure I've been battling some form of depression this year, and for sure the stress has aggravated my ADHD tendencies.
I suppose the silver lining in this case is that such a storm forces me to take stock of my life, what I want to continue doing and what I want to stop. I think it's been a long time coming. All this is to say that I am NOT quitting 3d art. If anything it has highlighted how much I need art in my life. I've even considered writing/recording music again, a career I thought I buried a long time ago. We'll see what 2024 has to offer, but one thing is for certain - I am through the storm at this point. Now begins the time of repairing and rebuilding. And I will come back stronger than ever.
No need to message me out of concern, I assure you I am alive and physically fit. Mentally I could use a month-long vacation but hey, I'm taking off for Chanukah, so that's something at least! Here's to 2024 - may you be a gentle dom or an easy bitch!

Yes I deleted my Discord.
Posted 2 years agoI've not been using it much at all, and not for the reasons I wanted it. In the end it's more maintenance than I signed up for, and launching it days before getting an eviction notice was not good energy.
I'm sorry to disappoint you all

If I'm suiting, look for the giant white rabbit with black-tipped ears and a heart shape on my tail. I'll be accompanied by my husbear, who looks like a hippie rabbi (cause he kinda is lol). If I'm out of suit, just troll my twitter for irl pics of me so you know who to look for.
-If I see you, how should I get your attention?
Just call out 'Whiteshadow' or wave to me. Just don't tap/shove me, please. Even if it's just a joke, it makes me bristle.
-Can I talk to you?
Of course! I'm not the most outgoing person but I have my charms if I'm not too distracted. I'm happy to talk 3d and animation, and my husband and I talk a lot of TV/Film/Theatre
-Can I hug you?
I do accept hugs but please ask. Common courtesy n whatnot.
-Can I buy you drinks or food?
If we are going out to dinner together I am receptive to the idea. Otherwise I would prefer not. My husband keeps kosher and I'd rather not have him feeling left out.
-Can I give you stuff?
I am happy to accept any gift art you feel inspired to do - just know that I will find out how to tip you. I believe in showing support for artists at all times. Any other merchandise I am fortunate enough to afford on my own, so please don't offer to buy anything for me.
-Can I snuggle with you?
I would say no in this case. It's nothing personal, just anything more than a hug feels invasive.
-Are you nice?
I like to think so! As long as you are respectful, we will be too!
-Can I come with you for food/fun/etc?
We have a limited supply of kosher food which will be off limits. We might purchase drinks and snacks to host some friends in our room, but that will be invite only. Any other fun will likely me attending panels or otherwise. I'm sorry to anybody who may be disappointed by this answer.
-Can I take your picture?
Absolutely! In and out of suit we love the camera.
- Convention Plans -
-Are there any panels you might be attending?
My husband is running a Jewish/spiritual panel. Other than that I'm not sure! Probably a couple of dances at night.
-Will you be suiting?
Absolutely! How much is up to my comfort level at the time. I'm planning to suit up at least part of every day (not including the days we get there and leave)
-What suit(s) is/are you bringing?
I will be bringing the full bunny, but I may partial some of the time. My husband has a bear headdress with paws and a snout.
-Do you have an artist table?
Nope! It doesn't seem sensible for me to have one at this time.
-Where will you be most of the time during the day/s?
WANDERING. I am a wanderer. My husband also likes to people watch so we'll likely be camped out in high traffic areas at times.
-Will you be performing?
Not this year. Maybe in the future.... *foreshadowing*
-What/where will you be eating?
I'll be eating almost every meal with my husband back in our hotel room. I may do one or two meals in the hotel's restaurants or in walking distance. TBD
-Will you be going to parties?
Nobody's invited us to one yet. *highlights 'yet'*
-What's your goal(s) for the con this year?
Nothing huge really. Just getting back into the saddle, making sure it's not another 7 years between cons. But if I know you well and you're gonna be there, I absolutely want to meet/see you.
I'll be staying at the Westin
-What day are you getting there?
My husband and I arrive Wednesday night, the 28th. It's my birthday! THERE BETTER BE CAKE WAITING FOR ME WHEN I GET THERE
-How are you traveling?
Amtrak outta NYC. If you're on the train with me, come say hi!
-How long are you going?
We stay until our trainride back on Monday

Kidney stones
Posted 2 years agoHate’em
It’s been almost a week I’ve been trying to pass this one. Needless to say it has interfered with my art schedule. I am hoping to get something done soon. It’s absolute shit timing too, this being the last week I can clear the old apartment before it’s officially not ours anymore.
2023 really fucking sucks. At least for me

Slow return to normal
Posted 2 years agoSo it's been a month since my last update. Life is slowly starting to settle into a new normal. I'm even posting again, as you may have noticed. It will probably be slow for another few weeks as I finish the evacuation from the former apartment, which I have leased until the end of the month. Every day for the past two weeks has been sorting items by what goes to storage, what comes to the house with us, and what goes out to the trash. After that comes the round of spackling holes and sweeping up, returning the smart light switches to the previously installed dumb ones, then returning the keys and I am done with that place.
Thank you once again for your continued support. I am aiming to continue with my monthly Patreon rewards, but I apologize in advance if I am set back another month.
Love,
That Bun

State of the Bunion
Posted 2 years agoSome of you may have noticed my inactivity as of late, either on here or one of the other networks I'm on.
If you have read previous journal posts you will know that I have been unofficially evicted from my apartment, and so this month has been a mad dash mess of moving back to my childhood home, living with my mother again, sharing the apartment. A lot of downsizing, critical decisions as to what we're taking with us and what's going to have to go into storage. The additional rush of moving in before Passover begun has made this an incredibly frustrating and frantic move.
To add to the misery, my eldest cat passed away the day after we moved in. He had been sick for a while with IBD but this past month he took a sudden turn for the worse. And as we were gearing up for the move, he stopped eating entirely. I knew it was the end. So once we settled, we got to bring him home one final time before saying goodbye. We had him put to sleep - he died in my husband's arms.
My PC and desk have been a low-priority move since we needed everything else here first and I technically still have the old apartment until the end of May. This is my render machine, so nothing was getting finalized without it. Now that it is set up, and I have had time to... process everything, I will be returning to creating new content. It's still a bit of a painful process, but I am determined to find a new place ASAP. So expect some more YCHs coming up as I build my nest egg.
My Patreon account has been paused for a month as I did not want to charge people for my absence, but it will be open to new patrons April 18th. As always I shall strive to give you more of the content you crave.

The noise issue won’t last much longer
Posted 2 years ago…because the landlord sent us notice that they will NOT be renewing OUR lease. Hey, get rid of the people complaining and there won’t be any complaints, right? That sounds logical. Too bad it’s now disturbing the neighbors next door and across the street. Karma is a fucking bitch, landlord.
Meanwhile I will be spending the next three months cramming my life BACK into my home apartment. As a result I have no idea what my schedule will be like, but I know I can’t NOT art. Besides I’ll need the extra cash for moving and storage costs.
Once again thank you all for your patience during this horrid ordeal.

Hell is other people... also state of commissions
Posted 2 years agoHi folks,
First off I would like to apologize to my current commissioners - my productivity has plummeted under the heavy stress I'm currently enduring, and so my delivery is proving to be much slower than I would like it to be. I will strive to push through, and I thank you for your continued support.
I am not well these days.
Many of you may know that I moved into an apartment last June, and a few of you may be aware of the noise pollution we've been having from our upstairs neighbors, and lately also our downstairs neighbors. I am fully willing to admit that the walls/floors/ceilings in this row of buildings are very thin, but still consideration could have been made for all parties and yet it wasn't. After months of trying to resolve this peacefully with our neighbors, we were forced to get our landlord involved. He has been aware of our frustrations but seems to drag his feet on any solution, whining about how he is in the middle of this situation [being in the middle is kind of a landlord's job, so...]. Yesterday his wife decided to email us with a litany of outrageous, and frankly antisemitic, accusations about our complaints and their coincidental timing with a pre-agreed rent increase.
I have been dealing with this noise issue for 7 months, starting on the very first day of moving in. I understand of course that no one can move in quietly, although their choice to move in on a Friday night was already sus. But we have been written off, ignored, and eventually had wild accusations thrown back at us about our behavior, which didn't seem to be an issue to them at the time. And the landlord has done barely anything to mitigate the situation. We have rarely had an issue with the downstairs neighbor but suddenly her attitude has changed. I suppose she took a side.
It has become clear that despite our dismal situation, we have nobody in our corner. Our lease ends in May, and at this point I cannot see the likelihood of us renewing it, which means either we need to find a new place before then, or move back home. Going back home would be a massive and costly ordeal, as we would have to put most of our now fully furnished apartment in storage, re-assimilate our cats with my mother's [Blaze nearly took out Agnes' eye last April from fighting, so I'm not optimistic], and somehow reconfigure our lives to one end of a 3-bedroom apartment. The two points in its favor are not having to pay rent at all [though I would give my mother something, she has been carrying the house on her back alone for decades], and being with family who understand and care for each others' well being. The landlord kept feeding us a line about how he considers this building a family - family doesn't treat each other like the way we've been treated.
The noise in question is the running, jumping, stomping, banging, and other antics of a 3-year old and a newborn. I know kids are a lot, but you have a responsibility as neighbors AND as parents. The only rest we get these days is at night, when the little shits are in bed. The older one goes to school in the day [sometimes], but the newborn is big enough to make significant noise. The result is an unending barrage of noise pollution that shakes our apartment and rattles our china.
My head is constantly pounding. I am jumpy from the slightest sounds. I put my head down at night and still hear it even though it has stopped. I am consuming more pot and alcohol than I am comfortable with, just to dull the senses and get through the night. My anxiety is through the roof. And I have some extremely angry and vile thoughts and opinions about the offending parties, things I would never say to another person even with a gun to my head, suddenly I want to tear them a new asshole. I would have been satisfied with peace and quiet, now I just want retribution. But it has become clear to me that the landlords will do nothing to help, and I am not sure I have any legal recourse.
It really just reminds me of the days I was bullied in school and the principal did absolutely nothing to stop it. The only time it stopped was when my mother went down there and became the sledgehammer she was born to be. Of course I can't keep using her to fight my battles, not that she could help in this case anyways unless their noise bled all the way two doors down. This experience has done a lot to erode my faith in people.
In other unfortunate news -
I have a foot MRI scheduled for next wednesday. The concern there is a possible stress fracture, which would mean staying off it a lot. Not a great time for it, especially if I have to start moving boxes. And as it currently stands I do not have a hotel room for Anthrocon. So unless something opens up in the host hotel or at least within a few blocks, it is not likely I will be seeing anyone this summer.
I am just feeling completely beaten down by life these days. I'm sure some of you know the feeling. I'll end it here. Please don't feel obligated to reach out and ask me how I'm doing. I'm not doing great, and I don't have the heart to say it 30 times. I appreciate your well wishes, and if you'd like to leave so in a comment that's fine by me. I will one day get through this. Sometime this summer we'll be somewhere new, either back home, or in a house in New Jersey, or rolling the dice on another apartment rental. Only time will tell.
Thank you for listening <3

Jury Duty
Posted 2 years agoHi all,
To my commissioners I do apologize for any periods of silence or lack of progress at the moment. I've been serving on a jury the past week and am expecting to serve through all of next week too. Hopefully it will not be any longer than that.
Thank you for your patience and continued support <3

Animated GIF troubles?
Posted 3 years agoHi folks,
I've been alerted to a submitting issue. Like many of you I convert my videos into animated GIFs for the purposes of uploading them here. It seems though that with the new site redesign, my attempts to upload an animated GIF result in a static image. If anyone knows of a solution to this, please let me know.

Commission Types & Price Update
Posted 3 years agoJust a heads up that I am adjusting the commissions I am offering and the prices in order to better reflect my goals and current experience. I am also splitting my commission request forms between the three types - new character model, still image/comic strip renders, and animations. I intend to focus on these three types for the remainder of this year and for 2023. Further details can be found at my commission center https://trello.com/b/L9bHDmN8/white.....mmission-sheet
It should also be noted that I am still closed for the time being for new commissions, as I am at maximum capacity, most likely for the remainder of the year. If that changes of course I will post another update.

Moving cloud storage
Posted 3 years agoOh no, my Dropbox account is full!
It's actually an account I share with my husband, and despite the sheer size of 3d projects they only take up 15% of our shared space. I realized I have more space on Google Drive so I'll be moving everything over there.
This means if there are any Dropbox links I have posted or personally given you, they will no longer work (30 day grace period). Please let me know if you need your project files and/or you discover any of my animations have links that are broken.
Also I'm still moving, so commissions are sloooooow, updating this is sloooooooooooow, everything is... well, you get the idea.
It's actually an account I share with my husband, and despite the sheer size of 3d projects they only take up 15% of our shared space. I realized I have more space on Google Drive so I'll be moving everything over there.

The next Chapter!
Posted 3 years agoIt sure has been a whirlwind spring so far. After everything that happened in April I find myself beginning a new month by signing the lease to an apartment. For those of you who know me, I have spent nearly 41 years of my entire life in the same place, my family’s home. It’s long been a goal and a dream to step out and own my own place. While renting an apartment two doors down isn’t exactly the end goal, it puts me in a much better place mentally - one where I feel optimistic about what the future may bring. And when the housing market cools off, I shall make my move on my forever home, whichever it may be!
Commissions will continue, perhaps at a slightly slower place while I spend the next month moving for the first time. Rest assured, when I am settled I will be doing a LOT more. Stay tuned!

Oh April, you can't yeet soon enough
Posted 3 years agoHello folks,
A lot of you may have noticed I barely posted this month. It has been a trial, to say the least. First was the typical holiday preparation - Passover is big with my husband so we go all out. I was prepared for that. What I was not prepared for was for one of the kittens to come down with a 105.9 fever, for the oldest cat to nearly claw the eye off the second oldest cat, the two alpha humans in the house screaming at each other, getting banned from YouTube, and my neighbor's house to burst into flames. To say I've been overwhelmed is putting it lightly. I do feel a chunk of me has been torn out and it's taken some time for me to get my head back on right. To my commissioners I apologize for any delay or silence on my part, and I assure you I am moving forward with all of the paid work thus far. There may be a bit more upheaval coming as we come close to finding a new apartment. Just waiting on a call this weekend, fingers crossed

No More Youtube
Posted 3 years agoI'm sure some of you noticed my account isn't up there anymore.
Unfortunately it was terminated, citing that I had posted explicit videos that violated their TOS. Of course, any of you who have been on there know that I don't post any of the smut that you'll find on my AD account on FA. I tried to plead my case, but they were all too quick in telling me they're going to uphold their decision. I didn't even get a warning, just permabanned. This is what you get when you leave moderating up to the bots. But hey, at least you can watch tinfoil hats and bigots on youtube right?</sarcasm>
If anyone has any advice on how to move forward with this situation I would appreciate it. Meanwhile I will go back through my animations, and anything that links to Youtube I will direct to a new source

Big Crush YCH Follow Up
Posted 3 years agoI've received a few repeat requests and inquiries on the matter, so I just want to reach out to all who have submitted and put your minds at ease.
I will indeed be taking ALL requests. It's simply a matter of time and capacity, between these, my other commissions, my dayjob and my personal life. The latter two have flared up in complexity and drama recently so it may cause a slowdown on the former two, but rest assured I will get to each and every one of you. I thank you for your patience and your continued support, and I will reach out to commissioners when I am ready to begin their YCH request.
