(FIST RISES OUT OF GRAVE)
a year ago
Hey, all :')
I'm sorry it's been a long while now, and I haven't been on at all. Been going through a lot of ups and downs post college graduation, and was especially struggling with trying to stay afloat financially and emotionally and all. And like despite knowing how hard it is to break into an art career, it hits different when you're actually Out There sending in application after application and nothing is working out :( and y’know the bills and financial obligations just sure don't stop,
So I've been working at a Walmart to get by and have the guaranteed paycheck, which has been fine- sort of a 'it is what it is' deal, y’know :/ And unfortunately I definitely fell out of love with art for a good while there,, it was just hard to feel much passion for anything, really- and like my melodramatic ass brain was just WELL... I JUST DON'T KNOW IF I'M EVER GOING TO DRAW AGAIN like oh my god dude sit down, IT'S GOING TO BE OKAY
BUT things have gotten much better over the past two weeks. I'm about to be a whole lot less busy as well, and happiness has been far more consistent than stress and other fun emotions
...And I have been drawing again lately, and drawing A LOT- it feels so nice just being back in it after being stuck in such a bad slump :') Been doing pieces For Me just to get back in the groove, and remember why I am an artist and why I love what I do, y’know-
Now, as for outstanding commissions:
I'll be back to working on commissions either this weekend or early next week. And as an apology + gratitude for people waiting for so long on me, I'll be bringing every single outstanding commission up to a fully colored, fully shaded piece, free of charge. And if your commission is already one that was going to be fully colored + shaded, I'll do an additional inked piece for you for free- can be anything of your choosing, and for those who this applies to, we can discuss when we get there :) BUT if anyone wants refunds, I'll hold absolutely no hard feelings. I get it, and I'm not going to be upset if someone just wants out after waiting so long.
I'll be making the rounds on replying to comments, discord messages, PMs, and all that over this weekend. Once again, I'm sorry for disappearing for so long- I'm lookin forward to starting things up around here again though, and am always grateful for the continued understanding and support that yall give.
Thank you, will be regularly around again soon :)

Jokes aside, I was so super worried about you, Ferris, I genuinely thought something bad happened, so it's a huge relief to know that you're okay!
