-Health Update-

Hey all, the past few weeks have been... a thing that is happening.

To give a short quick update on my health life stuff.
My mom went into surgery for her hernia and my brother had emergency surgery on his eye on Sept 12, they are both mostly recovered, and both seemed to be fairly successful and went well.
I had an ultrasound done on my various abdominal organs and some tests at the end of September. But due to a miscommunication mistake on my doctor/pharmacists part in August, I've gone without my 5ASA medication for mid August and all of September which caused my condition to flare up and get worse. I was stuck to managing it purely through diet and eating only low fibre meals to try to let things heal on their own while waiting all month to see a clinic nurse practitioner. We booked another ultrasound in December for a small lump on my neck (probably just a cyst hopefully) and had the nurse relay the prescription info to my specialist. So I'm now on 9 week run of prednisone to try and put the ulcerative colitis more properly in remission, and will likely return to being on the smaller maintenance dose of 5ASA after that's completed. The prednisone unfortunately has a lot of negative side effects associated with it, so I'm just hoping for the best there in terms of minimal downsides. It has unfortunately spiked my anxiety so far though.

Unfortunately due to all this medical run around and catching appointments and extra focus on diet and physical activity, my motivation and energy for streaming and working on art had suffered greatly. So I apologize for not streaming/posting as much this month and being a bit sluggish with commissions and updates. I'm doing my best to get healthy again.

-Art & Commission Updates-

At the moment my full queue is looking more like this:

-Confirmed Paid Commissions-

- Large Colour Sequence
- 4 Page Full Colour Comic
- 2 Shaded Pieces

-Queued/Unpaid/Semi In Progress Commissions-

- A 5 Sticker Pack
- 3 leftover Stream Sketches
- A multi-pic sketch sequence
- 5 Image Upgrades (1 Ink/1 Flats/3 Shaded)

-Unconfirmed Commissions-

- 25 Unconfirmed Forms Submitted in the Queue. [Assuming any are still interested in getting their forms done.]
[On that note: If you've submitted a past form and still really want it, please contact me and let me know you're still interested!]

Personal For Fun Art I have been slowly pecking away at over time. (Mostly stuff that will be partially exclusive for Patreon)
- Short WG sequence
- 20~ page Dog TF comic
- 8-10~ page Pig TF comic
- Donkey Machine
- Colouring some older art
- Various TF Doodles/Compiling a sketch archive for download packs

So regarding the forms. Given that I haven't been streaming as much and have been struggling a bit financially just trying to eat healthy every day, I do need to get back into taking on some new work or just taking on any of those previously submitted forms, but I am concerned about rushing into accepting any large projects given the medical stuff unless I can actually consistently communicate regularly with clients and actually get all of the necessary information. (If I've asked you to provide more information for anything, I can't really work on your stuff without the info so please send it when you can!)

So at this time, if you have a form with me and really want me to get started on it or revisit it, please feel free to give me a friendly poke to talk about it sometime, as long as I'm not streaming I should be around in the afternoons EST to chat. But if you're shy and don't want to discuss over DM or Discord/Telegram, you can always email me through my primary gmail. I'm shy and my anxiety is high so I might not respond -immediately- but if you ask any commission related questions I will always answer to the best of my abilities. And if you just want to work with me to get a current queue'd work done faster, I'm always up for doing a call/streaming it in private in discord at any time that works for both of us for more immediate feedback.

I'm a little tired of constantly doing wheel stream format, while it forces me to get things done on the spot, it doesn't really allow me to contemplate commissions at my own pace and can be a bit stressful if I'm not on feeling comfortable to sit for longer periods with my bowel condition. So while I'm recovering I'm gonna try to clear up anything people have been waiting on for longer periods. (The remaining single shaded pieces are like 80-95% done anyway.) I do always welcome newcomers if they want to get just see about getting a sketch commission on the side, since they are a lot easier to get out in one sitting. I'm not sure if I'll end up doing any Halloween streams this year as I'm still trying to clean up at home to try to make space for a new desk so I can actually use my new computer and transfer everything over programs wise. (I'm terrified of having to deal with Windows 11 though, ugh.)

That's all I have to add for now.
Happy Almost Halloween!
