Hi!
2 years ago
I want to share a little. I have severe burnout and deep depression, but I'm trying to fight it, so I'm reopening free art for you. I do not know if I will draw someone and how much I can, but I will try very hard to try to pull myself out of an insanely bad state. Nothing helps me, so I will try to force myself to work. Т^Т
From you:
- A good character reference.
- The Journal / it will help me attract a little more people to my work/
- A couple of warm words, support is very important to me right now.
If you promote my sales or subscribe to me, I will be personally grateful to you!
I also hope for a little activity from you, a couple of comments under my works or favorites if you like something.
Also, if you are ready to exchange my art for a character that you want to sell, you can offer me this! I'm still hoping to find something interesting!
I hope I'm not asking too much and thank you to everyone who responds in any way. I'm waiting for your characters, thank you! Т^Т

Thank you, stay safe, and happy arting!
I'm sorry to hear that you are suffering with depression and burnout. It's something that affects far too many people; we all live in a world where everyone is struggling all the time, and sometimes it's hard to see the individual person among all of that darkness. I hope that things turn around for you soon, that you find some happiness that warms you through the really bad days. Thank you for fighting those feelings, and trying to do your best. I know how exhausting it can be, and how it feels like sometimes there's no way to get to the other-side of those feelings. If you would ever like reading resources to help with depression, I can try to find things that might help your situation. Or just listen to you vent, if you ever want to talk about things at length and need someone to lend an ear. I don't mind listening and offering what support I can. I'm glad that other people have posted their own support - know that there is a lot of compassion waiting for you. <3
Your art has always had a softness about it, some poses and emotions convey a lot of the soft, somber quiet and hurt that comes with long stints of depression. I too have depression, and I followed you as some of your pieces resonate with the kind of loneliness I feel when it's really bad. I want to express that you are not alone, and I hope for only good, kind things for you. <3
They don't really have the colour pallet I normally see in your art, but if you would like one of these characters for free, let me know:

I've had these for quite some time without giving them the love they deserve, so if any would make you feel even a little bit better, let me know! <3 You can make any changes you'd like to any of their designs.
As someone to possibly draw, maybe my baby Ghislaine? https://toyhou.se/5201423.ghislaine/gallery
If you don't want to draw her, maybe her backstory will interest you. It's quite sad, but very meaningful to me, and I'll talk about it a little at the end.
~
Ghislaine was a young woman, once, like any other. Dark skin, warm brown eyes, and hair that fell in long curls about her body. She was not anything special - a seamstress and tailor who loved what she did, and fell in love with a boy who loved her back. They grew older, promised everything to each other, and had a baby together. Unbeknownst to Ghislaine, her sister coveted her marriage and child, the life that she had, and all of her talents. Things seemed to happen so easily for her that her sister became so deeply jealous she learned a myriad of strange spells and curses.
Through one of those curses, Ghislaine found herself transformed into a beast. It started with a lengthening of her teeth and nails, then her face, soft fur where there had once been none - then the small knob of her tailbone extending. Things seemed to unravel quickly from there - she feigned illness with her husband. Her sister offered help, to hide her away in the deep black forest near their village, until they could find a way to break it. Ghislaine was none the wiser of her sister's treachery.
When her own ears began to shrink and a new set sprung from her forehead, and her body was more fur under her clothes than skin, Ghislaine knew she had to leave completely. She left her husband and baby quite suddenly; her mother was ill, she said, and her sister unable to travel. Ghislaine, to them, was leaving only temporarily. Her sister, of course, stepped in to help raise the baby and take care of household duties... Things were fine at first, Ghislaine sending letters and looking on from the branches of the forest, ensuring the safety of her family while she was away.
Soon, her sister wrote a letter of her own, and swapped it for one Ghislaine had sent. Supposedly, Ghislaine had died while planning a sudden return to the family. Within the next few years, Ghislaine could only watch as her child grew and her husband became lovers with her sister. Unable to show herself, and unable to prove she still lived without doing so, Ghislaine could only look on in horror through the years. Her sister, of course, was unwilling to break the curse - Ghislaine only realized too late it had been her sister's doing all along.
It has been many years since then - generations, even. Ghislaine watched her husband and sister grow old together, have children together, and then watched their children grow and flourish and have children of their own. Through the ages she has become a legend, the grey beast of the forest that can sometimes be seen between streams of moonlight, or enshrouded in fog. She has seen her grandchildren's grandchildren, and has settled into a life of looking after and protecting them to the best of her abilities.
When they lack food through blistering winters, she provides for them. When they have been endangered by animals of the forest, or other humans, she has rescued them. When ill, she has laid parcels of herbs and medicines at their doorstep. Perhaps through the curse, perhaps through sheer spite of her will, she has remained as young as she was upon first transforming.
~ <3
Ghislaine is a character for me who embodies loneliness, and a fear of people moving on without me, taking joy and pride from what I could if my depression and anxiety did not get in the way. She is a character that is somber, quiet, and so deeply longing. When I think of her wrapped up in all of this history, I hurt the same way that I ache when I am unable to get out of bed from how deep my own depression is. Sometimes it helps to think of her and all the good things I want for her; the change, the growth, the willpower she has to keep trying in spite of how little her actions seem to matter.
I hope only good things for you Valeris. That today is a little kinder, that you feel even a little more warm and comforted, that you can find some peace through the ache of depression. You deserve happiness, and peace, too. <33

Also, if you're interested, I can gift you this cat boy: https://sta.sh/227s2pph6x6g
I named him Kwasek which roughly translates to "sour" or "acid" (as originally his design looked similiar to one brand of sour sweets I once tastied). Of course, if you're interested but you'd prefer to rename him it's OK with me.

Hopefully things turn out for best and not a burden of memories that Haunt.
