Well howdy howdy ya'll! I'm way too quiet on here I feel like, but honestly I just like lurking on my social media haunts and hanging out in discord groups with friends so I don't feel much of a need to be too vocal here.
That being said, I think I should give y'all an update on some things regarding life, commissions, and some miscellaneous stuff. I'll break this up into a few small chunks but I'll start with art/comms for those who care about it, and post a TLDR of everything at the bottom.
-
Regarding Art: WELL I've learned relatively recently that I have ADHD (and have been seeking treatment for it) but it's certainly helped explain why I have such visceral problems with motivation regarding artwork/comms. If a commission idea doesn't interest me/stimulate me, getting it done is like pulling teeth, and for that reason I don't offer comm slots save for emergency situations where I'm in desperate need of the money and panic can motivate me, or if an idea REALLY gets me interested. I've been prescribed some meds that have helped WONDROUSLY in regards to motivation, but getting them consistently has proved difficult for a number of reasons. Should I get into having them more regularly available though, I'm hoping commissions, collabs, big projects, and YCHs can be more of a regular thing. Be on the lookout for a followup journal should this become more of a reality! That being said, I apologize for all the folks asking about comms that I turn down, only for me to post finished comm pieces. That's not the best optics on my part, and mainly just comes from me needing to do art for sake of emergency funds ;v;
Regarding Life: As I said above, oh boy ADHD! Learnt that I had it a bit late in life (would've made my middle and highschool and college experiences a LOT less painful I think if I got it treated sooner euGH,,,) but alas, I live with parents who aren't the most open to conversation about mental health as a concept. I'll be hopefully getting more of my medicine soon but I'm in a peculiar state of being about to be kicked off my parents medical insurance once my birthday hits in a few days, and oh man are meds PRICEY without it. Other then that, college! I'm done with it! Got my Masters back in May and oh boy is finding a job impossible! It's not for lack of trying- I've cast a million hooks and have yet to get a bite. Least it's given me time to work on some art stuffs when I can so wooo -v-
Miscellaneous Stuff: I say "stuff" like it's plural but I really only have one or two things to mention here. I have an OnlyFans now! I just got it started, and am still figuring a lot of stuff out, but much like my art, it'll have a pinup and BDSM focus, especially in regards to bandanas, veils, and MASSIVE layered gags, with faced being always hidden at all times~ It'll be a free OF, with people able to pay for requests for videos/photoshoots of specific gaggings or whatever's desired within reason! Eventually I'll be doing this with one of my boyfriends, but for now it's a solo gig! https://onlyfans.com/clawsandwings
And lastly I suppose I should mention something regarding Dragoneer's passing. I didn't know the guy personally, I heard many many maaaany mixed things about him, and overall I can't say I really had the best view of the guy especially regarding some of FA's most recent policy changes, but I appreciate what he did in making the biggest hub for furries on the internet, and for essentially building the groundwork for me to meet some of the most important people in my life. How he went out was tragic and avoidable, and I think the way the honoring fundraiser is going about providing support for his family is appropriate and positive.

TLDR: Found out I have ADHD which has made doing art really hard for the past several years but I'm getting it medicated. Comms MIGHT be a more frequent thing in the future as well as projects. I got my Masters and getting a job is fucking hard. I have an onlyfans where I try to imitate some of my whack-ass art irl https://onlyfans.com/clawsandwings

No but fr good on you for getting a diagnosis and meds! I'm working on getting there myself, but the wait to get a referral is super long near me. Congrats on getting your Masters, dork!
I appreciate the kind words dork ;u; and best of luck to ya in getting your meds yourself sooner rather then later 💖
As for insurance, you can look into your state's version of Medicaid until you get a job with benefits.
Oh, and grats on getting the piece of paper that means everyone has to call you "Master" now~
