Hey guys, some updates!
Things are going crazy here, so I pretend to clarify some things and also vent. I write a lot, I know, and I love Telegram for this. hahaha
⏺️ 𝐀𝐂𝐂𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐓 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐍𝐒𝐅𝐖
First about the account and name Weneris. As I always say, my oficial name are NOUVELIAN and Weneris is an extra name I used to do commissions and NSFW, but now I'm gonna keep only for NSFW and base adopts sometimes. From now, all SFW orders will be signed Nouvelian and posted on the other channel. I think it makes it easier for everyone and it was already tiring to explain.
And ALL my NSFW art will be ONLY post HERE in Telegram and Furaffinity. Not one more place. I don't think it's fair for people to pay to have access to my done arts (patreon dudes cof), but speaking of NSFW it was the way I found to keep track of who sees it. I love making porn and gore, but there are a lot of children who are easily exposed to this type of content (And keeping two accounts in each place just to post Nsfw is too complicated)
⏺️ 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐌𝐈𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒
Nothing wrong about the actual commissions, they are going well and I'm hoping to finish everything by the end of December! And I pretend to do a temporary Open Queue for everyone, because it was so requested. But I must remember that I forget to update sometimes, so this is why I didn't want to. But I was informed that even without updating, in a way, people are calmer. In this Queue, I intend to leave a BILLBOARD to post some notices like here, since not all customers were able to get it via Telegram.

You don't need to read this part if you don't want to, I'm just not feeling well today and that's why I decided to write all this content.
Today I felt in my body how exhausted I am from stress. Thank God it's not about the commissions, all the people who have ordered from me are wonderful and understanding.
But I am in an absurdly delicate financial situation. In the beginning of the year I moved out with almost no money because I was experiencing abuse in my house, and on the same day of the move one of my Chinchillas got sick [tw: she put her intestines out during the trip] and it destroyed me in every way, especially economically. She got better during the year but last month she got sick again and died, after one month of surgery and treatment. I spent a fortune again and still was without my pet. 😥😢
I had many problems in the new house, with the neighborhood, with the service providers, with the condominium... and only now I'm getting it right I think.
I decided to give up taking commissions because due to these problems I took too long to sent to clients, and that KILLED me. Besides that I took very few commissions, it didn't cover my bills and that's when I decided to open these last cheap slots to have some security money until I build a portfolio and try to make a life with commercial illustrations.
But as nothing is ever a flower, in the beginning of November I injured my hand and could not do anything for almost two weeks and had to pay for help.
And even more, my dog last week had to be hospitalized because she was poisoned.
Anyway, the intention of this is not to justify myself or try to look like a poor person, it's just to get it off my chest because today I cried of exhaustion, something I never did even in my college. I am not well physically and mentally, and that is not an excuse to stop the commissions if that is what you thought, because they have done me feeling good, even more than I expected. It's just that I may have to postpone my plans for a new career to open more commissions, because if I don't get at least $1000usd by the beginning of December I will be in a big mega blaster power huge trouble in every way possible. Besides that I can't be 100% broke because if another of my pets gets sick they will die because I won't be able to take them to the vet, and they are all I have for company, I couldn't bear to lose them for that.
⏺️ 𝐍𝐄𝐖 𝐒𝐋𝐎𝐓𝐒, 𝐀𝐃𝐎𝐏𝐓𝐒 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐏𝐀𝐓𝐑𝐄𝐎𝐍
👉 DEFAULT COMMISSIONS: Since my plans took a turn, I will open 5 more standard FULLBODY commission slots, BUT at the normal price and to be started in JANUARY/23. I don't think it would be fair to those who rushed to get the promotion if I opened them again at the same price and to be included in the same queue.
👉 DIGITAL WATERCOLOR: I have opened very few and exclusive slots of this type of art during all my life because it is very time consuming and hard to do. I will open 5 slots, this one I can take bust, fullbody or illustration, but illustration I will take only one because most likely I will stay more than a week only on it. If I get the amount I need before then, these slots here will be the first to be closed. Also to start on JAN/23
👉 CUSTOM: Another one that is very hard for me to open because it's very complicated, but I'll be making 2 slots available. It serves for Reference Sheet as well. For JAN/23 too.
👉 ADOPTS: December is coming and I will make 5 high quality adopts for sale, 2 auctions and 3 Flat Price. I will do some in base with more affordable prices as well.
👉 PATREON: My patreon is already in production, but I'm still thinking about more rewards. For now, I will have a TIP jar, exclusive monthly bases and stickers. I think it's a good way to get started without angst. I'll also post artwork there in a better quality.
👉 MENTORSHIP: This one isn't a sure thing but I've been recommended and will think about it a lot. This one is more geared towards artists who need help either with their art or with their administration. I might give feedback on your work, do overpaint or help them set up a career plan within the commissions area, get better organized, write terms of service etc.

Once I complete the amount I need, I will draw an illustration! It can be anything, it will be at the winner's discretion. <3
The drawing will be between customers from the last wave and the next wave. If you bought more than one illustration, you'll have more chances.
Soon I'll be back with values, link and examples. I will leave my Ko-fi too, I will also sell bases there, but from YCH! For now I thank you all for the attention!
