Hello there! It's been a while since i gave a work status update. I figured I'd go ahead and take the opportunity to do so, as well as a general life update!

So if youve noticed, sometime in April my work output had slowed down significantly. I ended up falling into a really bad depression spiral that just snuck up on me. Everything suffered: my work output, my attitude towards my day job, and even my friendships. I ended up getting a really bad wake up call recently and decided to start depression meds. about a week in my work production changed: I had finished about 4 owed pieces in 3 days, and another, more demanding one in 3 more. I began to stream nearly daily, and i began to get irritated at my day job for being so invasive to my work schedule. There are other things that i'd been getting irritated at in regards to my day job that made me make the decision: I'll soon be quitting and going full time!

In concerns of my living situation though, My mom has mellowed out and now completely respects my decision. I told her how much i'd been working overall (in the past week) and she does agree that working 60 hours a week is very bad for my mental health. I even told her exactly what I draw and how much I charge and she agrees that by going full time I'd be making much more money, and be much happier. She even gave me tax and financial advice, but warned me that it wouldn't be easy. I told her I'd be setting aside some income, probably do game streaming on the side, I just need the time to put it together, and the freedom to do it during prime time, which my job actively inhibits.

Now this isn't going to happen right now. Life finds a way to be really funny: I ended up testing postive for covid the day after i made my decision and told her but before I handed in my two weeks. Plus as i said i need time to get everything together. So please do not misconstrue me when I say "I'm gonna be working more!" and then i don't work on orders for a week. hell, since I'm gonna be quarantined for 5-10 days I kind of have to start up again to compensate for all of the shifts i'm missing. Plus, I need to see if i can maintain my work speed so I can accept commissions as I do my backlog.

This day and age artists are kinda up shit creek without a paddle due to the rise of Ai garbage, and how hard artists get suppressed in the algorithm. You'll prolly see me shill a lot more. I don't like doing it, but i have very little time to get everything turned around.

I have about 5 pieces on my patreon, with a few more on top of that being WIPs or exclusive images! my last YCH results are up there, which features 's character Wren! Please do me a favor and check it out, as well as tell people about my work! Every little bit helps, even if you cannot financially support me at this time!
