[UPDATE] 28.07 My current situation, still looking for he...
a year ago
Hello everyone!
Wanted to give you an updated on my current situation. More information can be found in these journals:

First of all, I want to thank everyone who supports me and helped me to collect enough funds for the first payment on a laptop. I've opted to pay for it via installments rather than paying outright, as this allows me to get back to drawing now rather than later. I'm really low on funds right now, but I can finally get to work on my backlog. Also, I'm really happy with the laptop itself! Thank you for your suggestions on what one to get; I ended up going with the Pixus Link.
Now we get back to the things that haven't changed: The power grid in Ukraine continues to be unreliable with constant blackouts. Also, it's summer. Temperatures in my area are hitting 43-48c (109-118f) on the sun during the day outside, and because I can't rely on power to let me run my air conditioner, I'm lucky if I can get my flat down to 28c (82f) at night. I'm doing my best to get through it, but drawing in this heat isn't easy.
As always, I need time to adjust and adapt to the situation and to work on my backlog. I also need money to get by. As I've said in prior journals, my current goal is around $800 USD to get me through July and August, including being able to purchase this new laptop. Thanks to your kindness, we've raised $300 of that goal.
I'll continue to provide updates to these journals as funds are raised to keep you informed about where I'm at and how much more is needed. Again, I can not express how much I appreciate your generosity in getting me through this. If it wasn't for the kindness of all of you, I don't know where I'd be.
Once more, I'm going to bring up that I'm willing to take on a few more detailed commissions, but only if you're willing to put up with a wait time of over 12 months. I don't like the idea of adding to the back log, but it's the best I can offer so far. The draw back of this is that every item added to that backlog makes that monster bigger. Makes it look insurmountable. It's a vicious cycle that I really want to avoid, but it is a necessary evil that I will learn to overcome. You can find more information about my Detailed Art Prices here: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/53073131/
Again, I appreciate any and all support passed my way. If you like what I create and want to toss a coin or two my way, you can support me on Patreon ( https://www.patreon.com/FelanGrey ) or send funds to me directly via Pay Pal at: Felan-Grey[at]ukr.net
Thank you for your support and patience. I really appreciate that you trust me with your characters and ideas and give me the chance to put them to paper. I'm glad that my talents are able to make people happy, and that you all continue to see to it that I can keep up at it. Thanks to all of you, I'm able to keep going, and I will forever be in your debt for your kindness.
