🌻 Where I've Been
2 years ago
hey there! been a while.
you're probably wondering where I've been for the past few months
i hope this journal can help explain a few things
sparing most of the details, this year has been rough and life came at me super duper fast:
i had to move very suddenly back in june and one of my cats had to have emergency surgery in july
the events leading up to and the june move are what have largely prevented me from getting to draw
i've also been sick from allergies for the past few days so it's seemingly one thing after another.
the reason for my moving is ongoing and will probably still affect my activity outside of close circles.
those who know what's going on, thank you for your patience with me it's appreciated so much.
and now that i've been able to settle in my new place, I feel like i'm finally able to create again.
i was able to participate in artfight a little and it was a much needed break from it all -
i will be posting the pieces i made for this year eventually.
all this said, i have some changes i'd like to make.
i've done nothing but commission work this whole year and it's been draining my art stamina.
with my unpredictable schedule i haven't been able to complete pieces as quickly as i'd like to,
which is not fair to my commissioners, and having to make them wait for so long has me stupidly stressed out.
after i finish my current batch from the people who helped me pay for my cat's surgery,
i will not be taking commissions for the foreseeable future.
to the raffle winners on furaffinity from back in april,
i have not forgotten your prizes,
they will be worked on after my commission queue
my plan moving forward is to find a day job and work on my own projects in my downtime
i want to turn art back into a hobby rather than a fulltime job
i haven't been able to spend time to improve my own art outside of drawing for someone else for so long and it's been wearing on me.
i have a list of things i've started and want to pick back up again and hopefully i'll be able to share them when they're completed
who knows, maybe i'll finally be able to pull Of Rain and Snow out of hiatus and see it through to completion.
there's no changes to my patreon at this time.
i've been having a blast designing stickers each month and want to continue with that.
hopefully once i get into the swing of things, i'll be able to have early access comic pages available again, for both ORAS and future projects
i'll be scheduling my backlog of posts... eventually. whenever i find the time to sit and do it really.
there's not a whole lot but there's at least some and i hope you look forward to seeing it!
