Another art update and sad news
11 months ago
Hello, just posting a an update on art and something personal that’s happened to me recently.
For the personal thing.
A week and a half ago my beloved German shepherd Emmet passed. She was nine and very close to reaching her 10th birthday. I’m sure you’ve heard me talk about her occasionally. Most of my commission work went to her as she had not the greatest health. This time we went in thinking she just had a UTI. Instead she had a tumor in her spleen and was bleeding internally. I made the decision to put her down instead of watching her get worse as we didn’t have the 8-9000 for the surgery.
I will miss her dearly. My days aren’t the same without her. My routine is all messed up. I wake up with the need to take Emmet out for a potty only to realize she’s not there. My paranoid thoughts and the shadows are harder to handle without her constant presence.
That’s brings me to my art. I know I’m horribley behind. And so I’ve set a goal for myself that’s lit a bit of fire under me. My goal is to get another dog. I aim to get at least 3000$ in the next few months and that means finishing all of my work pronto. So far I’ve got 4 pieces going. For those waiting on art from me, in the next few weeks, please look forward to sketches in your inbox that need your approval.
I just really hope I can keep at it.
With all that said. I do plan to post maybe a Halloween themed ych and maybe some small headshots or something soon. Nothing crazy. All the funds from my commissions and ych will go towards getting a new dog.

:( I'm sad to hear about this Axel, I know your girl is resting in peace. Speaking from experience, such surgeries can be very risky and have poor prognoses even if money isn't a factor...I believe you did the right thing for Emmet. It's just always so hard when it's so sudden. I'm sure those whose art you're working on will be patient and understanding with you.

OP
Thank you. Her prognosis after the surgery had a few different potential outcomes. There was the potential that she would have been fine after but that was only if the tumor wasn't cancerous and if it was, if it hadn't spread. If it was cancerous and had spread she would be able to have the surgery anyways. Not being able to come up with 8-9000$ on the spot kinda took the decision out of my hands anyways, and I didn't want to watch her suffer just to get more time with her. I can only hope that I made the right decision, that she knows I loved her dearly and I hope her spirit guides me and my future puppy.
