Happy holidays!! + Other updates
3 years ago
I hope everyone has been having a wonderful year so far! now that its coming to a close, don't forget to spend time with the ones you love and let them know how much you care for them <3
I know i don't journal much on here, i guess i just never feel like i have enough to say hahaha.... BUT i just wanted to give my followers a general update on whats been going on with me, and how that's going to affect things like future art and commission openings.
For the past year ive been going to therapy and finally working through some of the many many years of trauma ive experienced, which has been a long and straining process... Some days i feel great and like ive come really far, and other days i feel like ive repressed back to a scared child. I've been trying to pinpoint my triggers, and replacing my bad experiences with good ones now that im with someone who makes me feel safe <3 But at the same time this process has been hard for me, thinking about trauma ive tried to repress for years and years and coming to terms with needing to cut people out of my life. I know i havent been drawing as much and that would be the reason why, i try to get as much as i can done but sometimes i just need to step away and take care of myself for a while.
Its not just my mental health thats been slowing my down either, unfortunately my physical health hasn't been great either. I need to go in for surgery to check for endometriosis within the next few months, because ive been experiencing a lot of pain during my period and the weeks leading up to/after it. My pelvic floor muscles have been giving me trouble again, which puts a lot of pain on my abdomen and bladder :,( Ive been going to a lot of doctor appointments trying to figure out whats going on and kind of just surviving on painkillers when it flares up. So yeah that kind of affects me being able to draw too!! which is a huge bummer, but hopefully the surgery and physical therapy i have planned help me with that.
SO for commissions in 2023, im still going to be taking them so don't worry!! But im going to focus more on cheaper multi slot YCH's instead of one of a kind pieces. Any custom work will have to be in my simpler style for a while because its been taking me much longer than im happy with to finish custom illustrations. Thanks everyone for your support over the years, the furry fandom has done so much for me and always valued me as an artist. I've never found a more loving and accepting community, here's to another year of sexy animal people!!
