Sorry for Inactivity (Hiatus??)
10 months ago
First of all sorry I haven't been online for a while, anywhere really. If you've been trying to message me anywhere, here, discord, instagram, etc. I probably haven't responded yet due to being busy. I've been able to pop into my discord server a few times but haven't checked DMs anywhere so if you need my attention quicker comment here and I'll be sure to check as regularly as possible. Otherwise I still won't be checking DMs for a while as they really stress me out and with so much stuff happening irl extra stress making me ill again is the last thing I need rn.
I might take a little hiatus, at least until the holidays are over, so I don't get too stressed over posting online vs. prioritising irl stuff. Not sure yet though, if I randomly go quiet for a while that's probably the reason.
Anyways, the reason I've been so busy (aside from helping with Christmas stuff of course).
When my parents moved into our current house it was falling apart and it's gotten to the point where it could be dangerous, we moved thinking we could renovate it but didn't have the money to do so until now. They're literally knocking out and rebuilding parts of the house, currently we're doing the kitchen/living room which is where I previously had my laptop and tablet set up so I keep having to move around and that makes finding time and space to work on art really difficult. I'm currently stuck in my mum's craft room but I feel very uncomfortable in here for multiple reasons I won't go into so this doesn't turn into a long rant so yeah basically drawing isn't easy rn, it's also pretty uncomfortable sitting on a sofa cushion on the floor for hours at a time lol. My bedroom floor is on the verge of falling through so hopefully that's next, I'm hoping to make a space so I can use my laptop up there and not be watched 24/7 (mayhaps a chance to practice slightly more spicy content), for now I don't get many chances to sleep so I'm trying to focus my energy more on irl stuff at least until the stress of the holidays is over.
My mum also got tables at two different local craft fairs and said I could bring some of my own stuff to sell if I helped her set everything up so I've been making a ton of bracelets and stickers (it turns out crayola crayons work pretty nicely on sticker paper, or at least they do on the sticker paper I used). Since I've been focussing on stuff for the fairs I've only been able to get onto my laptop a few times and each time was mostly just to draw a digital sticker design so I've not got anything to post really aside from a few doodles from last month.
I did turn 3 of the stickers I made into a story/universe with multiple families though (I'm hoping to turn them into books or maybe make an animated show for YT or smth, the style just gives me storybook vibes, to be fair it was partially inspired by one of my favourite childhood books and a childhood fave show that imitated the original's book art style) and I've now got a new doodle art style I've really been enjoying drawing anthro cats in so I might open some commissions in this style if anyone is interested: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/58881356/
I've drawn a few characters already but not all of them and the general story stuff is still a big wip so I don't know whether to post the ones I've already done now in case I lose interest and forget about them before finishing, or wait till everyone is done and the story is more fleshed out before posting anyone's designs :/
I can also do feral designs in the same style so comms would be for anthros AND ferals, in fact it only exists because I needed a quick and easy way to draw black cats for some stickers, it only became an anthro style when I drew the main gal.
