Yooooooooo

It had once again been a while since the last time I had posted a journal, but since it was my birthday just a few days ago and I got such an outpour of love I really felt like I wanted to thank everyone.

There's also a big revamp I have in mind for how I handle commissions, which is something I've been talking about on discord for a few weeks now, but it is better if I also post it here and elsewhere.

So, first off, I really want to thank everyone who wished me a happy birhday, I did likely missed a few of the messages, here in dA in particular I'm a bit too strapped for time to answer most comments ^^U

I do want to though specially thank all the people who gifted me stuff, the AR community spefically got me so many things this year it's insane o////o

I got to make a couple lil' gatherings with friends and family irl too, but I want to mainly show you the things I got from these amazing people:

1º MGlitch commissioned this lil' pic from ABDLRose, starring both of us, me at just one year of age of course >.> that bottle being to blame... That bottle also being... Uhm... Maybe... Based off of one I may have acquired irl... Only it doesn't have age regression effects, I promise o3o

2º Big sis Jeannie got me a couple pictures, from two different artists, this crib scene from HHikariTheAngel, and this other sleep scene from Noxalys. Jeannie has come to know quite well how much I like sleep cuddling scenes in age content >///> I've also started to do my ID as a nekomimi every time I get regressed, which explains these and some of the other pics I got >///>

3º JadeDoe has been fiddling with EmoteLabs recently, she made 115 emotes for me, a bunch of which I added to my discord server.

4º Ponehanon drew a quick sketch for me, we've been friends since I think... 14 years now? He's Bolivian, I'm Chilean, our countries have a bit of a rivalry when we took their sea access in a war that took place in 1879 (Hey! they started it!), and since then we've always been exchanging banter about it, so he drew me getting a surfing themed cake, and him not being particuarly happy about it :3c

5º njj3 got this commission from WrenZephyr, it's the Year of the Horse after all, so here I am getting horsified~

6º ABDLRose also did this lil' animation of me, over 100 frames, I'm quite shocked she managed to get all of it done in such a short time o3o

7º BubblePuppers made this huge 34 panel comic for me, we recently met when I visited her and WobblesBab in Mexico, and we became quite close in the single week I spent with them, I had floated this idea to her as a potentially commission idea I thought could happen one day, but Miss Bloom just went ahead and did, Miss... Mmm... I suppose I'm suppose to call her Mommy Bloom now ./////.

8º SSSSSalas has been practicing with basic 3D modeling for a Game Dev project he's been working on lately, since he learned it was my birthday a bit late he quickly made a 3D Ankh gif for me :>

9º And finally ExitCalamari drew this commission starring Krowy, Jeannie and I, piggyback riding Krowy as we go catch pokemon, it's such a sweet pic with a Snivy for me and a Ralts for Jeannie, and tons of forest pokemon wandering around the background.

And that's that as far as gifts go. A few friends also haven't finished the things they wanted to get for me yet or have sent me me stuff irl that has yet to arrive, I'm of course super thankful to be getting anything in the first place, so I'm overwhelmed with all the love I've gotten this year <3

======

And that's it for the first half too, I'll more or less copy what I announced in my discord server a few weeks ago, but I'll soon be doing a revamp to my commission system:

I had been talking with certain close people on DMs as well as a few people from the server. I'll have to do a revamp to how I work in the near future, both pricing and schedule wise, having kept the rhythm I've had for close to 7 years now it's been quite good money wise, but it's resulted in personal projects and just downtime in general becoming more and more scarce, to the point I simply don't really have time for anything hobby-esque these days. And many of the personal projects I've started have been left hanging forever. As well as just drawing random things I may feel like is just unfeasible due to the heavy rhythm of doing so many commissions so often. I think I'll be going about this next month, setting things up so I can take a bit more time in between each stream and do a price increase, which this time will likely be quite high, and taking less commissions a year may naturally result in most people not getting them as often, but I feel like I'm kind of reaching a breaking point with the current rhythm. And I do really miss doing personal things.

# I hate the idea of ongoing sequences and sets going unfinished, so, like I've done with previous price increases, those won't be affected by the price increase so they can actually be concluded.
