On Foxfire.
Posted 4 months agoRecently, i got a note. in trying to figure out a reply i've decided to make a general thing as they can't be the only one asking why i haven't touched it (in case it hadn't been too obvious).
Short story is: i can't. it's not in me right now to do so.
(full disclosure: I'm Australian so any medical stuff is covered by our universal healthcare system)
Long Story? Foxfire came from a place before a lot of personal stuff went down. That place i was younger, somewhat healthier, and merely just trying to figure out my path in life.
Then my grandmother got cancer, and i was principle carer.
She died in 2008, and in the space of a few months, i was sued over the will (i got half the house in the will, hence that was a point of contention by our estranged uncle)
And i was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis not long all that.
throw in the fact that shit got dire real quick financially and my mother wasn't handling the everything real well.
what ensued after that was probably the darkest six years of my life, i won't elaborate too much aside that shit got DARK dark for me. (Folks who'd been around me during that time knows full well that i wasn't just prone to flying off the handle emotionally, but full on yeet myself into orbit from that handle... then crash down harder than the price of bitcoin.) (i also learnt what "alone" truly felt like for me personally)
and i was also diagnosed with primary sclerosing colinghitis - which causes liver damage but had the added bonus of giving me gallstone like pain once a year.
In 2014 we settled legally, and the house which was basically falling apart because i couldn't afford repairs was sold it. Bittersweet because yes, childhood home but by that point it was just such a weight on me mentally that i equated it to a ship anchor around my neck. Just an oppressive vibe. Moved to a new place, renting.. just trying to pick shit back up.
also later that year i had my entire colon taken out with an ileostomy and j-pouch setup... first major surgery i've had there.
in 2015 i had it reversed, nearly died from dehydration approaching renal failure afterwards.
it was not long after that i tried to keep going with the comic, but overall just struggling creatively, really.
Liver was still giving me grief, so there was no small amount of back and forth related to that.
in 2018 our landlord of the time (monumental prick that he was - inspections were a source of great anxiety for me) terminated our lease over easter (good friday to be exact), to what i felt more like a "renoviction" of sorts...
Now, my health at the time wasn't spectacular so moving all of our shit to the new place (which was like, a block away fortunately) wasn't easy.. and family members were scarce or vanished off into the ether), Fortunately i had some financial help from a friend (they know who they are, and your sparkly blood is worth bottling), so moving the bulk of things wasn't that hard.
just filching back our plants and moving the cat enclosure..
Now let me tell you about liver disease, it gives you jaundice because crap builds up that your damaged liver cannot remove.. Why is that important now? well it turns out it also goes into your eyes, making you functionally night blind.
So i had disassemble a cat enclosure in fading light, walk it a block to the new place in the dark, then reassemble by the tiny light of a bosch cordless drill.
without help.
This house is where i live now, btw.
I also managed to get a disability pension due to end stage liver disease at that time. (basically having to go into hospital to get the bile ducts cleared again may have helped with that)
now, late 2019 is where things get interesting with an infected gallbladder, i get that sucker out in 2020. shit did not train properly or so i thought. In retrospect i think the fluid buildup after that op was from the other thing that hit me - liver failure.
Now the fun thing about that was i went to one hospital, swollen with pitting edema to the point where shoes were not even an option, probably yellow... and the doctor in the ED sent me home with a "talk to your specialist" without so much as checking my blood pressure.
i week later i tried again at another hospital, got in because i was spiking a fever, aaand turned out shit was shot and that got the ball rolling for a liver transplant later that month.
The transplant itself went south real quick, nearly died, some 80 units of blood product, a blood type change, deconditioned muscles to the point of being an immobile lump for four out of the over five months i was in hospital, near death (technically died a few times there) because my heart decided to pick up an atrial flutter, (think if your heart decided to lodge in your neck and have the same BPM as sanic.mp3)
oh, and my kidneys failed to function after the op, so there was dialysis all through that.
i spent about a month in rehabilitation in order to get mobile once more.
I also learnt during that time precisely why my mother divorced.. my father's a prick.
now, there was a lot of time spent in my head, because being unable to do much leaves me alone with my thoughts. Which is where my synthetic derg (BRK//LYN or 'Brooklyn') arose from. you spend as much time under the knife as i have and try not to be dissatisfied with the frailty of one's own carcass. :B
A lot of things started to piece themselves together then. Including lore writings.
also helped for the thinking process was the dialysis sessions i had when i eventually got home, 5 hour sessions by the trips to and from took roughly an hour so i was gone for most of the day for three times a week, the rest i was just recovering.
A little truth about dialysis: it's not a solution at all, it just keeps you from dying quickly. They really prefer no longer than two years on the things if they can help it.
a little thing in hospital in 2021 (diagnosed with a dormant form of leukemia that's easily treatable with medications that i'm already on should it rear its head)
Kidney Transplant in 2022. Aside from a fall there was no drama there.
more recently, i had an incisional hernia (15cm, a little under 6" opening), closed. i had that sucker since the liver transplant.
Now, with all that in mind, plus some more personal figurings out for me, i have to say the Turnsky that used to make Foxfire is by far no longer the Turnsky i am now, that's a part of me that's gone and faded, and i've gotta figure out what to do with the remnants and find my own place with that.
I'm working on something markedly different than Foxfire, as you might guess, in between trying to find the time to gather my thoughts in order to do so. But it's something that i'm using lessons learnt previously to make it come together better, namely scripting, which is something that i've been working on, i have a name for it, just not gonna tell.
There's just so much work to do, not a lot of time and energy to do so. I've been sick for a long time and maintaining health now is a tricky thing.
It's not about money for me, never was.
Short story is: i can't. it's not in me right now to do so.

Oh hey.
Posted 4 months agogot that Hernia sorted, guess i'd better do something, neh?
Where i'm going, Where i've been.
Posted 6 months agoBeen a while. Lots to Discuss.
First off: healthwise doing good since the transplants, getting the incisional hernia stuff sorted out very soonish, so that's some super good news.
Now, to the art stuff: i won't be accepting commission work as readily as i used to, but i will periodically offer them when i feel like i'm good and ready. That said though? will be bringing a nominal amount of personal stuff to the table so that's something to look forward.
For some good/bad news. Other creative endeavours.
You might remember a comic i used to work on: "The Foxfire Chronicles"... that's gonna be on perma hiatus for the foreseeable future. It came from a very different place for me personally, and coupled with the fact that i not only wrote myself into a corner the first time around, i lost direction the second (seriously), and when i begun to plan the rewrite.. well.. a certain location in it turned into a warzone and i couldn't in good conscience go forward with that notion in addition to my not wanting to deal with geopolitics in any way shape and form (too complex and messy for me, i'm afraid - Ukraine doesn't deserve the shit that's been flung at them this past while, that's for sure.), it's on the backburner for now.
The site? i borked it, it's been borked for a while and i really need to ask Xepher to nuke what's on there and allow me to start anew with something NOT GODDAMN WORDPRESS. Seriously, worst CMS ever for all intents and purposes.
Onto the new: i am planning something new. it's been on the cooker for the past five years or so, on and off in pieces, i'm starting to make some real headway with it, but it's something i'm not going to reveal just yet, but, it's gonna be a little less seat-of-my-pants in regards to writing. I just want to make sure i have a good chunk of the everything collated before i start presenting things like key art and the like.
Also i bloody well nuked my twitter account from orbit and you can find me on bluesky.
If you want my stance on AI anything - none of that shit will ever be used on my work. At. All.
anyway, catch y'all on the flipside, yeah?

seriously. it's good to be back home.

Life Updates - things.
Posted 3 years agoHokay, for starters, still out of town at the moment, recovering, all that jazz. Things are looking up on this front.
Secondly? Feeling better on the art front, so i’ll probably come back to the fore before long in THAT regard.
Thirdly? Comic shall be rejiggered, rebooted, or something… i’m not gonna let it die, but in the same breath?
Yeah, site’s borked, i broke it and i can’t get in to fix it, like, at all. I’ll keep the domain up but will shift it when the opportunity arises.
There are certain… things that have come to light personally for me, as well as on the larger stage that i’ll need to address plot-wise, as well as ART wise that i need to get out of the way first before i can even feel confident enough to knuckle down on that one.
Plus i have a whole lot of life to catch up on too, shit takes time, and i’ll probably get some short form stories out of the way just to get back into my proverbial groove.
FOR THE UNINITIATED:
As to why the comic sorta died?
Long story short? Health.
For the empathically challenged? Pay attention to my journals over the past number of years, i’ve been through some shit - major surgeries, transplants, and nearly dying somewhere along the line and dialysis ain’t no joke yo.
For the dickheads?
I haven’t been too vocal about my politics, honestly? I haven’t had the energy to get angry and screamy about things, i let my peers do it far louder and better than me - but understand this: if i find your personal politics to run against human rights, or especially my own, i will block you without a word.

Major Life Updoot.
Posted 3 years agoSO. Some of you may or may not have heard some good news.
Yes. Yes i have a new kidney and boy is it ticking along nicely.
No real hassles thus far, and i am recovering well.
I have a few other health issues to sort but that was the last of the big ones.
So, yeah.. doin’ good.

Posted 4 years agoJust a thing to bump the old thing off the front page there.
still kickin', still going to dialysis because my kidneys packed it in post surgery, all that jazz.
trying to rustle up the spoons to get back on my bullshit, and so on.

Boy Howdy... (Health Update)
Posted 5 years agoWhat a year it’s been for me on a personal level.
SO, as some folks who know me, I’ve had some health issues for the longest while, first the Ulcerative colitis, then the lovely little complication, Schlerosing Colingitis (which is also an auto immune disease which attracts the bile ducts of my liver)
Which lead to me being in hospital post major operation as i type this...
SO let me tell you a story.
Every now and again i have an attack of sorts that required me to have my bile ducts cleared, embiggened and whatnot, well late last year i thought i had a similar attack, turned out to be a rather nasty gallbladder infection.
Fast forward to march when i had the bloody thing taken out...
Shortly afterwards the fun part started, oh oedema, jaundice, and so on...
I went to one hospital, they pretty much turned me away with a condescending tone, made arrangements with my specialist, but a week after i got worse, went to the other local hospital which just had its ED reopen after thorough cleaning post covid outbreak at that point.
So i get transferred to the other hospital, have my bile ducts cleared yet again (ERCP for the medically inclined), and kept under observation... concerns about my liver (which had taken its fair share of knocks due to the aforementioned) abound, i was still pretty jaundiced and getting worse.
So instead of a phone call with a liver specialist interstate i get -flown- to another hospital for it.
Swollen to all heck and yellow like some minifig homonculus.
Fast forward to June when i had a liver transplant (yes, things escalated that quickly), which is where the real hilarity started. (I was far sicker than i even thought)
For starters? Liver failed in theater, and i needed 80 litres or so of blood product to preserve my butt, i was sedated for a week afterwards until i came down from the steroids they had to pump me full of (i was apparently quite ‘roid ragey), recovery began.
Back to the wards after ICU, that’s when the real fun began. I Still had issues with fluid here a virus, some infection issues and the fluid affected my heart and breathing.
First, the heart... which decided to randomly “gotta go fast” at random intervals... disconcerting never fun, took them a bit to nail down treatment and such, including defib shocks to “reset” everything, meds, tests and so on. Eventually having the fluid drained from my chest cavity to alleviate the issue - which it did to this point, as well as sort out the breathing.
Now onto the other two issues: mobility and kidneys...
The extent of the operation was so much so that my kidneys went dormant for the longest time, they seem to be slowly coming back online so to speak as far as i can tell, as for mobility? Working on exercises and that whole “standing” deal again, my muscles had weakened to that point. Making good progress though.
Now, a current side effect at the moment, (prolly a combo of weakened muscles and meds) my hands shake like the dickens, thus it’ll be a while before i can retrain the fine muscles in my hand and be back on my bullshit.
Liver’s working a treat though.
So that’s what I’ve been up to for the majority of the year, right now it’s mainly down to getting my kidneys back up to full spec and physiotherapy/Rehab. The latter of which may take a bit but again, making decent progress.

Posted 5 years agoTentatively speaking, of course. but for the most part i shall try to get back into the swing of things, INCLUDING sorting out my backlog once things settle down a bit health and environmental wise (it's summer here, no aircon, shouldn't whinge because it's not as bad as the mainland. but still)
it's been a hectic few months, suffice it to say.

Streaming Commissions?
Posted 8 years agoHow many of you folks would be receptive of me not only streaming at a set time.. (say, Sat/Sun Australian timezones), but offering commissions during those times?
I'm curious as to whether there'd be much call for me to do so... i know it's popular for OTHER artists, i'm trying to gauge my own clientele.

So... Streaming, eh?
Posted 8 years agoI've been getting into the streaming spirit of things as of late... works better when you have a connection capable of supporting such things (trust me on that)
aaaand so far it's been working out pretty good..
No set times or schedules AS OF YET, but i'll see what the future holds in that regard as i'm also taking up some art courses this year as well.
I'm on Picarto, i stream as often as time allows, with a few extra things as well..

A new year, same old thing..
Posted 8 years agoSo, 2017 is upon us and good riddance to 2016.. yeah it's an arbitrary point in time but honestly who gives a damn about that... the past year has been MEH at the very least and absolutely horrible at its worst depending on who it's directly affected.
That said it's typically been hard on my finances.. especially christmas.

Commissions and slight price alterations!
Posted 9 years agoDecided to open up for commissions again, will be picking at backlog otherwise i'll have 8 slots to fill, and a new system to help me keep track of them..
Mainly raising my prices because i do spend a hideous amount of time on them, and my tendency to go "that extra mile" is counter-productive timewise.

never rains but pours..
Posted 9 years ago*sigh* Political situations notwithstanding, i got the power bill today..
http://i.imgur.com/3pODC6V.jpg
and i'm not calm about it.. thought i could handle it but no.. usually i'll do commissions to make up shortfalls, be able to eat, and so on.
having this hanging over my head.. it's not fun, i swear.
So i'm gonna ask for a favour. i'm gonna run a Tally on this journal, and my patreon: https://www.patreon.com/turnsky i'm going to do a foxfire comic page for every $200 met.
IF, for some miracle i manage to nuke my bill before the end of the month. i'll update once a week for the amount + an extra page.
that's $200 per page normally (i had to put extra to try and absorb some of patreon's take)
so that's either a choice of
patreon: https://www.patreon.com/turnsky
or Paypal: https://www.paypal.me/Turnsky
Edit: gonna park a goal marker here so folks can see numbers(after currency conversion)
Goal(art/own | Bill amount): $470.81 / $61.50 | $790.75
Towards next page(s): $470.81 | $200 | 2 pages!

Commissions and PAX AUSTRALIA, and a little help!
Posted 9 years agoOkies, little story time, and the Hazards of trying to save a little bit on things:
So a Turnsky happens upon the bright idea to save some dosh on airline tickets by taking a flight out of an airport in another city that actually holds budget airflights, i get in touch with people to see if they can cart my backside up to this city in order to catch a flight..
Nope, can't help me they said citing at least one stupid reason (missus wouldn't let him use her car)..
so i've had to book the flight locally which puts me out a little more than i would've liked.
That's where you guys come in, I'm offering to do commissions, or anything to help offset the sting in my convention budget, or even better absorb the cost of the tickets themselves... plus a little extra so i can actually buy new ink cartridges to print the ticket out. :B
No need for a list i'll take them as they come and try to do as many as i can before going to melbourne for pax for a few days (where i might even sketch a ton if i can), and get back to things when i'm back home.
Couple of comic commissions would make me really happy, but for the more budget conscious i also have sketches and other fun things. :D
