2025 September Recap

End of September 2025

Goodbye September, this was a horrible and extremely stressful month. It's finally over just in time for Spooky Month. Damn. If you want to catch up on what happened last month, read about it (here.) Otherwise all you need to know is shit was bad. That's it.

Despite all that mess, we do still have some art highlights from the previous month (here.) As always we greatly appreciate any and all commissions, and fantastic behavior!

Entering October 2025

Spooky Month - Announcements

I'll be using this FA Journal to outline some plans for October 2025. Each header will cover a different topic in non-linear sections, so feel free to skip around!

Commissions

As always the main plan is to continue the queue (public link here) as most of it was already taken care of (yay!) Now only 14 slots were announced for September which you can view that journal (here.)

So what's the plan for October while we are closed for commissions? That's the fun bit. We're going to do Auctions. I'll go into more details when that hits FA before the end of the day. As usual I will have all details up front with instructions and mirrors on Telegram, Mastodon, and Bluesky. So don't worry about that.

Personal

If you've been with us for a while you probably know how little time we truly have. More than 8hrs/day are spent on working though the queue and commissions, like any regular 9-5 full time job. Sometimes more, and this doesn't account for all the back-end or "admin" stuff we do. So- The downer is how often we get asked about why we don't have enough personal art of our own characters. Which the answer is always the same: lack of time.

More time spent on anything that isn't commissions (work) is more income lost. That's just how it goes. We don't have any desire to raise our prices, so this is how it is. Besides why lower quality for a faster output and cheaper prices? Rather output something we are proud of even if it costs more time. Makes sense to me.

Do you wanna help or wanna see any particular character over another? Let me guess, wanna see NSFW from us?

I'll soon redo the website (link) to sort of be a more personal directory for our characters, and maybe some fun stuff you wouldn't be able to see anywhere else. This way the other sites remain the same, and I wont need to manage so many at the end of each week.

They like cute dogs that go blep. And I'm cool with that, but my portfolio, my gallery is becoming something I don't love. I want to balance out the cute stuff, with some weird stuff. This is my month to shine and do exactly what I want to do. So, what do you say, wanna play and see what I can do?"

bonus: if horror isn't your thing, hey that's fine. I know some of my stuff is extreme. I'm glad you stick around even if I'm weird. Thank you.

Auction Information

The full guide is: here (Auction 2025)!! | lastly, all links to my platforms are listed on Carrd.

Closing

Thank you to all of you who continue to support us and truly give us time to work things out. Life is complicated, but we are trying to output as much as we can, despite what life throws at us. Hell,  SelfDugGrave alone kept working and running updates with a injured hand for weeks. This alone is worthy of a coffee wouldn't you agree?
