This is meant to be kinda lengthy, so feel free to read it fast or skip it!
Well I said this would be a monthly thing to do, apparently I underestimated my ability for procrastinate. Four 3 3⁄4 months have happened since I wrote a journal.
A lot of stuff has happened and at the same time didn't (which is a good thing in this context)
But progress has been made!


Mental and Physical Side of things

Finally Therapy and Health:

This year I retook the unfinished therapy for OCD with a psychologist; that I had uncompleted since late 2021, so, a new cycle to try living with this Hellish thing.
At the same time, my main doctor sent me to a Psychiatrist to diagnose further mental stuff.

Besides OCD, I have Minor Chronicle Depression, Cyclical. Apparently, even if minor, this shit can build up and knock you up for a while before you can get up again. That'd explain my inactive weeks.

Speaking of cycles, I also got to try antidepressants. First Fluoxetine as a General Antidepressant. Then more specific medication to treat anxiety related stuff, Fluvoxamine and Sertraline. I thought I'd feel different taking them, and I do:


• I can be more ‘relaxed’ most of the time
• I have less long lasting down times (from week or two just to a two or three days)
• I can ignore intrusive thoughts and doubts easier


Now I am on Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for more work which is working!

The bad side:


• This caused me to have less libido. Great.
• The first month or two was hell for Hormonal adaptation (probably) - heck, even the Meds had an warning for increased risk of suicide. Which… scared me NGL
• I am more sleepy, but I don’t know if that produced by the Meds or is something else


Also, I might have Undiagnosed ADHD, which if it’s the case, That’d explain a lot of stuff… Fatigue, inattention, problems with social stuff and stuff.

Worries and unwanted stuff:

You remember how worried I was about my PSU? Art Worries and such?
Guess what
None of that has happened, and probably won't happen in the foreseeable future, that’s the magic of OCD. But even if it hasn't happened, my mind won't shut up about it until either it happens or be waiting until it does so.
OCD isn’t making me more cautious nor is preventing something, it's just early suffering.
I haven’t developed new significant worries, but that doesn’t deter my mind to find something else. But I'm starting to believe, I am not defenseless.

Getting stamina:

As months ago I said, I kept jogging and running, and oh boy it really works. I kept running fairly regularly, twice a week, and I passed from less of 300 Hundred Meters in a single sesion to almost 3 km in the same single session; Bigger (and thicker) legs, Overall Endurance, More flexibility and having a better way to breath. Still, I'm way behind on what I want, but seeing this is progress!
Also this helps my overall mood; less headaches, stress and, ironically, less sleepy-feeling.



Art Plans, Projects and Stuff

Progress:

From 4 Months until now, A lot of progress has been made regarding art. Even though my Overall Technique and Artstyle hasn’t changed or improved a lot, I managed to be kinda more productive and brave to accept commission, believing in my skills and making a lot of people happy by making their fun ideas a reality!
Not only that but also making friends along the way!

Still, there is stuff that I'm not proud of. I have a couple of works that haven’t finished/adjusted well. Now that I’ve been actively doing it. From Sponsored stuff that I should’ve been delivered a year ago or so, to my own personal projects that apparently sits on a hiatus. Oh and Friend’s requests.
I know I'm not a machine, but man I surely would love to be more diligent on delivering stuff at right times or less without sacrificing quality.

I know I can, even though it looks big…

Diversification:

I know this account has hosted basically all sorts of stuff, from quite funny SFW works to very crazy combinations of fetishes.
Yeah even though I still enjoy a lot of weird and smelly stuff, I want to have more curated sections of my works for people that don’t share / don’t want some fetishes. Which naturally, is a very healthy decision.
So I’m planning on Having a Second and Third account for my works on FurAffinity.

Kaus (  Kaus Austral ) – He will be in charge of my SFW Works and Projects. More silly stuff, fantasy and or lore stuff if applies* animations and Commissions.
Even though Most of His works will be SFW, there’s the possibility to have something suggestive from time to time, but never explicit. +16

Lyra (  Lyra Polaris ) – She will be in chage or my NSFW works, but more standard/vanilla stuff that you’d see on the Yiffy side of the Furry. Sometimes she will do kinda fetishy stuff but that doesn’t divert too much from Vanilla (Like various kinds of Penises, Plushification / Living plushie, Excessive cum etc.)
The same as Kaus; Projects, Commissions, Animations comics etc.
Also lore stuff if it applies*

Needless to say. +18

* I think I’ll be using my almost completely desolated Tumblr to use as a Lore Journal rather than uploading lore stuff to my FA’s Accounts.
As of now, obviously they don't have any desc. nor pfp, it will be added slowly-

Exploration:

Even though I like to do weird shit, I honestly felt stagnated on my content. Not that I’ve gotten bored of it, because I aint. But I want to publish more diverse stuff aside from Vore and AB/DL, and some occasional fats.
I want to explore more on Transformation, Inflation, Macro/Micro, Flattening and sub variants of Vore!
So – Probably you'll see stuff in the way of Sketches, images, animations and comics of those.

Some plans and everything else to wrap up

I'm thinking of raising prices for my commissions. No, don't scare your wallets, won't be a crazy hike or something, more like 15% to 20% approximately – A lot of people told me I should've done it a couple of months ago. But I didn’t feel it was fair then. Now probably is the time, but won't be this month, probably the next one.
And also offer new stuff, like Profile photos, Ref sheets, Animations YCH’s and stuff. Also changing my ToS a bit. Summer is the best season for me to make changes.

I'm getting into Fountain pens and more traditional stuff as fun! Just because I can’t be drawing all the time, and it is kinda fun! I might buy more art material!

some new characters are cooking, even though the Core Three will remain where they are, They need some friends–

I upgraded from my Huion Inspiroy to Huion Inspiroy 2 (Large) – And despite some critics that received when launched, has gotten pretty good. Still, has the Low Pressure sensitivity issue from at launch, but has gotten better and less noticeable (Keep in mind that sensitivity issue was only really noticeable with Brushes above 150px when you slide very gently) now is even less noticeable, but still present. I’ve got to buy it and maaan I love the texture. More rough, better traction, although a pinch smaller than its predecessor.

And also, Ill be updating my Descriptions, Icons and stuffz

And there’s a huge plan that im making but it is a secret for now~

That’s all, for now, The next Journal should be in September.

Have a great summer!
