COMMISSION PRICES CAN BE FOUND IN MY COMMISSIONS TAB!
Hi all.
So I have a fair few things to cover this time, so I hope you will bear with me if this becomes a wall of text.
First off, my personal situation has, well my world got turned upside down and Ive had to move once again.... im also now single, nursing a shattered heart and just struggling to get through the days. Christmas and New Year were not easy at all. I am not ok, as I know you'll always ask, I just need a lot of time to pick up the pieces of my heart and try to carry on. Essentially this had incapacitated me the whole of December, which is why theres been no activity.
Im actually somewhat stuck in a bad place until I can afford to get my own small place, but that could be a year or more. I need to get a job again, and this could potentially affect my artwork time and motivation. Im having to sacrifice my whole social life just to avoid living in my car.
So that leads into commissions. I am getting through my list left over from November, many apologies for those of you waiting for your orders. It really set me back weeks.
I have a lot of personal concepts I want to get drawn too, so I hope to find time for those. They will be a lot of venting and just easing my emotional state. So dont expect too much happy stuff for a while on my own. Most of it will be horse art too.
I will be reopening for commissions whilst I am job hunting, so that could be a month? I know Ive had a few of you ask and I dont want to let you down, it just means I may be taking on less and they could take a little longer to complete, but I will do my best.
Along with drawing, Im trying to juggle my time with clearing out a storage unit full of my stuff, this could be a week or two solid as I need to organise, remove, sell and move a packed locker of items and furniture around. If you are local to Cornwall (UK) maybe youll see me at a car boot sale soon. I'll make it obvious its me or that im a furry. heh.
I also want to try a new hobby - I really want to have a go at customising model horses. Its something ive wanted to have a go at for a while now and may help me transition to 3D thinking. Plus my Dad has been spending time building model railway kits, and my brother has his Lego projects, so I kinda want to join in with the crafting sessions whilst Im here.
I will be around and still uploading things, but Twitter, Telegram and Discord are my main social grounds. I have a discord server where ive been putting everything i draw in, some things not on FA and often WIPs and teasers. So please ask for the invite link if interested.
As for cons and meets, I wont be attending any meets this year. Im just too far away from everything and everyone, so I will try and be on discord voice chats more just to keep myself sane. The only cons at the moment I plan to attend other than local comic cons are: Festival of Friendship (March), UKPonycon (Oct) and Furcation (Nov). Im sorry to say that Zap Apple Camp (Summer) is up in the air until my staff and I can discuss things regarding it. Its possible we may take a break from it this year =/
I must stress, that just because I am single now, I will not be acknowledging any passes or may come off as frosty if you try to chat with me. I have to protect myself, and I am not available or interested in hooking up with anyone at this time. It was an incredibly difficult break up and right now the last thing I need is guys asking me out. Please respect this.
2024 will be a lot of rebuilding myself, maintaining my mental health and horse art. Drawing horses is one of the things thats been my go to for calming myself down. Ive lost so much and have been put in a place I fought my entire adult life to avoid being. All commissions, comments and faves will be appreciated more than ever this year.
