I kept putting off writing this update for a while, gonna try to keep it as short as possible, but as usual it might be long:

To start with some good news, finally got my new Bluesky & Cohost pages up to date, posted a bunch of my stuff from here on FA, alongside a few new posts on all three sites. I've also repurposed part of the EGGS pic to make a new banner for all my pages, and reorganized part of my Discord WIP Server.
I don’t think I’ve mentioned to server previously: I made one last year as part of my Patreon, however I closed my Patreon at the end of August. I’ve kept the server cause I like having a place to share WIP stuff. It’s not public as I’m my own mod, and I don’t want to turn it into another stressful thing to manage, so it’s invite-only, at my discretion.

As for why I’ve closed the Patreon: Life going awful exactly one-year ago last October and more recently thru May really threw what I wanted to do this year off, badly. By the end of it I was just faced with an artblock that consumed August, a nearly-dead interest in shading, a pile of things on my drawing To-Do List, and frankly: An all-purpose drawing/working/typing hand painfully strained from overuse.
While I absolutely could use any extra money to help cut down on the debts I'm up to my beak in, I couldn't keep trying to treat this hobby as a potential other job. I had turned it into something else I wanted to escape from, then the long artblock hit, forcing the issue. I put myself into a constant state of playing catch-up for the past year, a state I technically am still in.

Thru September I slowly started getting out of the artblock, and have been trying to ease into stuff like this again. There are many days I'm simply exhausted from other stuff I do that I don't draw a thing. All I can say for anyone I've previously made clear I have interest in drawing something for: My ETA is pretty much "permanently unknown"—stuff will be done when I can do it, whenever those times arise.
New Commissions are closed for the moment, as least formal ones. I’m going with a more informal PWYW (pay what you want) type thing for now. I’ve got a long To-Do List of commission ideas, giftart ideas, and personal ideas covered in proverbial layers of dust, and no real guarantee that any of it will be done in any reasonable amount of time, if at all. So, I’m not doing any pay-upfront stuff, or planning on charging really. If I finish something, and the fur I drew it for (or anyone else that sees it) likes it enough & can afford to, they’re welcome to donate to my Ko-fi, but I'm leaving that as optional.

Now, I realize what I just wrote sounds like I’m leaving myself open to potential “free art” exploitation, so to make things clear: I’m not doing requests, don’t send me ideas for such things. (Disabling comments just in case.) I’m talking about art ideas from/for friends of mine. I just like making stuff for those I've gotten to appreciate over time, making someone happy with something super specific for them is a really good feeling.
If you're outside of those groups & like what I draw & the things listed on my “Will Draw” list, I’ll likely be making more stuff you’ll enjoy in time, no worries there. If you want to support me in some way, you’re welcome to Like & Repost (not literally, reposting is the name of Bluesky's equivalent function to retweeting) my posts on Bluesky or Cohost too, if you’re on either of those sites. There's no algorithm on either so doing those is helpful! And of course there's also my Ko-fi, anything helps there.

But yea, that's all from me for now. Thanks for reading all that if you did. :3
