Just Ouroboros Things

General
Another BIG update on what's going on here behind the scenes:
I have so far received not one, not two, but 3 different calls for a job interview! All in the span of the last couple weeks!
While a job interview is no promise of being hired per se, I'm starting to feel confident I might get a job by September. This is exciting news, but also comes with big changes, like the fact I might have to move to a new town and/or buy a car.
Which brings up the subject of commissions: while I could use some sweet commission money to partially cover those incoming expenses, I just didn't get enough time (or the mood) to do so lately while job hunting. Besides, I can't confidently rely on my current schedule if I'm about to get a full time job, so we'll see when it will be the right time to open for commissions. At some point, I will likely test the waters by first doing commissions for personal friends who have already showed an interest in my services, then officially switching my commission status to "open".
Meanwhile I did update my galleries and profile information, so you will already see either a full Commissions page, or links to my Terms of Service and Price Sheet, besides a "Commission Status" banner! So you can already get a taste of what services I'll be offering once I do open for commissions!
And that introduces the next topic: Just Ouroboros Things! It's the name of my new Telegram channel where I'll not only post quick updates on myself and my works, but also notify people about my commission status! So I can notify you even when I'm just on the phone. It's already operational and you can check it out here: https://t.me/+Ns0E1gbQOtg0NTJk
(Mind you it is a NSFW channel, so only people with at least 18yo allowed!)
While the Telegram channel will remain more of a "notification channel", I later plan to try out a Discord server as well, where you can get notified AND interact with people! For now I've only been experimenting with settings and bots to see what could be done with the server, and once again I might first invite only a select few as a way to test waters before making it public.

I know you'd like to try commission work, but at the same time, taking a hobby that brings you enjoyment and turning it into a job [especially one where the income is desperately needed] kinda ruins it in a number of ways. So, if you quickly get a job and then leave your writing or artistic endeavours only as a fun hobby [which you can maybe sometimes get some side money from], I'd say that's all the better.
And thanks for joining the Telegram channel too!
