Some news♥ commissions info
a year ago
Hello everyone! On March 19 I couldn't handle my state and I posted a tweet that I fell into a deep depression a year ago and that I reached my limit. I feel a bit better now, can even eat, sleep and I'm not crying everyday, and even can draw everyday and already finished most comms I have in queue♥ Once again sorry for the waiting, I always considered myself stronger than the diagnosis, but when I barely got out of bed for a certain period and cried constantly, I could no longer control it. Unfortunately, I am abroad and cannot go to a psychotherapist and get anti-depressants like I used to. So I try to cope as best I can♥ Thank you for your understanding and support, in fact, this has not happened to me for a long time, and even the shocks of the war and events during these years could not completely break me. So now I feel very fragile and also ashamed of my weakness. I promise that I will try not to disappear in the future. Also, I have to respond to a lot of messages that have accumulated during this time, sorry again aaaa ( ´・・)ノ(._.`)
Now about commissions and their prices.
First of all I know that they're closed for quite long time, I think I would open it in May (I need to finish current arts, take a break and I really wanted to upload a few YCHs first).
Also important info - I’m in process of changing price list cause my “simple” render became too detailed, it should be something sketchy (and it was sketchy a few years ago lol) but nowadays it looks like almost full render☠️
For example it was drawn like SIMPLE RENDER https://www.furaffinity.net/view/56148607/ but it has quite high quality
This was drawn like FULLRENDER https://www.furaffinity.net/view/53852942/ but almost no one can see a big difference (though I spent much more time on it) and it feels wrong
I’ll switch "simple render" to “regular render”, I'll make these future artworks a bit more polished and will rise a price + I’ll add really sketchy option🫡
I always felt overworked and I noticed that demand exceeds supply. I tried to keep prices as low as I can but I burned out as a result💔

Glad you are feeling better.
SmarterEveryDay on YT has a video on why airlines tell you to put your oxygen mask on first in an emergency, before assisting anyone else. When you get low on oxygen, you can start to lose critical thinking, even simple things like remembering how to put on an oxygen mask, or even that you should put it on if you don't want to die.
You shouldn't be ashamed that you had "weakness". Or that you had to take time to take care of yourself. Put your own "oxygen mask" on first. Be selfish. Don't let others tell you that your needs have to come last.
I"ll say that the fullrender does look nicer, but i agree that the "simple render" looks almost as good. Almost feels like there needs to be a lower, more sketchy option, and pricing reflecting that. And always, pricing needs to reflect your time investment, not just what you "Feel" you're worth. Don't feel bad if you have to shift prices every few months to moderate demand, and do auctions without caps to start feeling out what people can spend (as suggestions, i'm not you and don't know your situation fully.)
Really wish you the best !
