Overall update on life and illustration.
Beginning of the month we had Hurricane Beryl make a big turn and hit us head on. Made news in how the power went out and how long it would take to restore. I lost power on that monday that it hit and did not get it restored until Tuesday of the next week. I was lucky to have family and friends with limited power to at least go sleep. Did not sleep very well and was more exhausted at the end of it than before. Near the end of that week was able to haul my computer to a friends apartment to try and get some commission work done. Was not as motivated as I could have been and was not feeling well either.
All that is over now and I still have some clean up in my yard to do as well as the house. I am far far behind on commissions at the moment. There was a lot of demotivation and depression that kept me from working. Not working on commissions and art packs is a really bad thing at the moment. No full time or part time job at the moment and bills are getting due for next month. I am pushing to work to get stuff done so I can take some more commissions and work on packs.
Speaking of art packs, I had joined Gumroad a little over a year ago and now they are starting to shut down NSFW shops. This was a corner stone of getting through the utilities bills. My shop is still open as of this writing but I don't know how long that will be. Still looking for a home to sell packs but not sure of a good place at the moment.
Until the shop is shut down here is the link to it if you are interested in a pack. Also have a couple of 2 image sets that are sold for $3 or what you would like to pay.

Also have a Ko-fi page for tips. Have a small gallery there of some SFW images of a lot of cartoon, anime and tv show characters.

Thank you all for previous purchases, commissions and well wishes. It all means a lot to me and I hope to have more and better work in the future.

Been looking into the TOS of itch.io and subsribestar as well. Hope to have the shop relocated soon.
Take care nonetheless and we'll just wait for the art whenever you feel up for it again ^^
Stay awesome sir.
