HIATUS
5 months ago
Please read carefully!
This journal is purely communicative, especially for all my clients, for whom I've had a waiting list for a while now. Some of you have already noticed that I "deleted" it (it's still available in my saved journals) because that waiting list wasn't updating properly anymore. So, for greater convenience and on the advice of others, I decided to create a Trello! I hope this method is more convenient and better for all those who support me! TRELLO HERE: https://trello.com/b/ZVXt0W5t/cryst.....ry-commissions
I also wanted to let you know that I think I'm going into a partial HIATUS because mental health to don't feel so overwhelmed with all my pending tasks. Some of my closest clients already know what I've been going through since the beginning of the year, or even share my day-to-day life on IG or below the descriptions of some recent posts, like dealing with the situation with my dog's health, which I am SUPER SUPER SUPER grateful for your support! If it helps, I can give the update that my little dog is doing much better! His pain when trying to sleep (due to the spinal damage he has) and his vestibular syndrome are stable! He is now more active and is living the quality of life he deserves. I can never stop being so grateful. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU
On the other way I have had various physical difficulties that I shared and due to the same situation in which I am professionally stagnant I have not been able to afford my health such as the inability to pay attention for weeks due to pericoronitis or gastritis that caused me due to sleeplessness, no eating well and stress, or the anxiety attacks that I suffered last year, do not worry about me, if everything goes well with this decision that I am taking to focus on clearing all my pending tasks in order to be better settled, I prefer a thousand times that my pets are well, I can deal with myself but you know that my pets are everything to me, that makes me highlight that one of my guinea pigs (Tomasa) passed away at the beginning of February and it affected me but it comforts me and I hope that the same as you, She passed away due to her age, I acquired her when I lost the guinea pig that appears on my banner, my best friend got her for me and she was adopted from an abusive place where they used her as a breeding reasons, it comforts me to know that I was able to give her the opportunity of a good life until the last moment, she was a big and chubby guinea pig very affectionate who passed away peacefully in her bed...
I think the last thing to highlight is that 2 weeks ago my maternal grandmother, who I was caring for since the end of February and who was admitted, was in and out of the hospital due to quite complicated issues... she passed away, I have tried to be strong but losing a member of your family who was very close to you and seeing your mother devastated by everything is physically and mentally exhausting. We did it to try to keep her with us. There are no words, we are still very hurt but I try to stay strong for my pets, my friends, my mother, my maternal great-grandmother and FOR YOU, because despite all these complicated months and years you have been here and supported me, with your support, I have managed to keep my pets comfortable and have been able to pay for medical and funeral bills.
My inactivity was quite noticeable on both sites: here and Patreon, and I wanted to come back with something big as a way of thanking you for being here with me but having so many pending tasks, not being in my best position and seeing that more things are being accumulated I decided to keep them with a weekly fanart, sometimes I read that I had to give myself breaks and draw a little for myself, I thought about it and believed that Fanarts are a good idea both to not be absent for my supporters to have exclusive content and rewards and for my work to be for the fandom (while I work mainly on commissions and rewards, I do the Fanart in my free time, I didn't want to lose my love for drawing), I did not want my work to be reflected only in those who can support me financially, I wanted to share with you with nice works of waifus from the furry fandom because they have been very interested in seeing some of these characters in my style
A few days ago I made a poll on IG to ask if you were ok with this because I thought I was taking this decision the wrong way but I got a good response from you that you were genuinely enjoying this small change in my material, one of my biggest problems as an artist is that I didn't see where to take my art, last year a friend invited me to be part of his art stand at an anime convention from my city and... WOW it made me want to get to something like this, for that I must work a lot with Fanart or personal content that I can use in my portfolio and present it when I want to apply to an Artist Valley, this motivated me a lot because I saw it as an artist's dream since I was a 10-12 year old kid when I went to my first conventions and saw these spaces for artists, I saw it as something very impossible because I had no knowledge of anything about how to start, my good friend who came from another country to share his designs here gave me all the information and advice I need to make this come true, he gave me a purpose / goal to fulfill, something that I had lost a LONG time ago, I just drew and that's it, I mean, I don't saying I dont enjoy it, I LOVE being able to capture my style in their beautiful characters or help you create one from 0 but I only saw myself as a failed artist without goals, I had 6 wonderful years as a professional artist, I feel like a failed person who works and works but for what? ... I want to find a purpose again, I am in a position where everyone is graduating and I am falling behind, when I wanted to become independent you know what happened with my ex, breach of trust, theft and destruction of my work equipment, he destroyed / lost pieces that I'm still working on recovering and more sh!t
Patreon was created for various things among those to be able to pay for a university tuition but due to the aforementioned with the loss of my maternal grandmother and other things that I had to attend to, I see the need to pause that and more because I really want to be able to return as the artist you deserve for all the support I have received over the years, I am very grateful to this community but I want to be able to start the new stage (if I return from the hiatus) as a new Crystalberry, a new Oliver, directly or indirectly of the actions that I have done or not that led me to this position I must answer because I almost forgot to mention that this account has been managed since the beginning of the year only by me, Oliver F, what happened to my team after the siatuation of my ex?!, they are doing very well! Jane and her FIANCE, are about to get married in July! As many know they are my best friends for 8 years, but right since their proposal that was in November they have been very busy with the preparations for their wedding and adding that they have a son, their responsibilities are greater and their priority is understandable, so I took over from being just 1 artist at the beginning of the year, that's why it's being more complicated to carry everything, commissions, Patreon, fanarts, animations, etc., I know I can get this done on my own, it's just a matter of time and patience but to make this bigger I have made the decision to go on hiatus to only focus on my works to do!
As one last thing that is IMPORTANT to mention for all my accumulated clients.....today when I woke up I wanted to charge one of my cell phones (I had 2, one is for business and the other personal), the business one phone has been with me for 6 years and the screen was already failing a little, I am one of those crazy people that until a cell phone is falling into pieces (...literally) is that I change devices, I sleep in a bunk bed on the top... And when I wanted to charge the device it slipped from my hands and CRASH! I had to retire that cell phone, 6 years of battle! Ehhh! the problem?!!!!! As I mentioned before it was my business cell phone! My bank accounts, Telegram, IG, and other apps I had to reinstall as an emergency on my personal cell phone and I am given the horrible news that I LOST some contacts / chats that I already mentioned and communicated with this situation on IG and FB in case you're one of my clients (especially the old ones) send me a DM on the social network where we were in contact! I would really appreciate it!! (I also made this announcement to make people aware of this)
I think that all, with this I begin my HIATUS
The artwork published here is artwork I've been accumulating for months, I'm publishing it as a way to keep the account from being so dead and as a way to... I'll be back.
If I stop posting something...you'll already know what a change of mind I had
Patreon! It will remain active so I can support myself, even if it's just to cover my pets needs. THERE ARE NO COMMISSIONS. COMMISSIONS CLOSED DUE TO HIATUS. And Patreon will continue with the fan art dynamic, and pending 3 months of inactivity on the account with the rewards! Thank you very much, and first and foremost, I want to apologize to everyone for my actions, poor organization, and everything that led me to this. I want to return and change my professionalism with you because you deserve it. My only communication will be with my clients and some close friends I've made over the years. ly guys
