Heya guys. I know I've been absent now for a decent bit and haven't been updating anything, and that's not exactly an uncommon behavior for me, but I have a pretty good reason this time.

On the first of the month was in a car accident where I was rear-ended pretty badly. At the time and later that night, I was fine, and I was expecting the soreness that followed the next day. Sure enough, it came, but started to wear off a few days later, except for my back and the left side of my body. Those went from uncomfortable to hurting, and they have stayed consistent since, and it has affected my ability to draw and do schoolwork. Between trying to keep up with school, dealing with legal stuff, and trying to get seen for my pain, I've gotten very little work done, and I'm afraid things have not improved since. My back, especially, is killing me. As I type this, I can feel each key press in my back like I'm being poked with a needle; it is not fun, and it feels about the same when I draw, just consistently. Seeing as I live in the US and do not have health insurance, I'm having to get a lawyer and get things set up for me to be seen by a doctor. I've been able to see an orthopedist once so far, but it doesn't seem like they gleaned anything from it aside from that I am in pain and my bones aren't broken, but I will be beginning physical therapy sometime soon.

That is all to say, as much as I hate to admit it, I am hurt and I am not able to do as much work as I was just last month. I'm not going to fully close up shop because I am still getting some things done, just at a glacial pace, and I really can't afford to close my revenue stream rn, but it is with the caveat that I have no timeline on new stuff; expect it to take a while. I will be closing those slot commissions I started in September, I'll be doing things a little informally for a bit, cause it's easier for me to keep up with it that way. I'll also, with a heavy heart, have to skip Halloween and Hypnovember-themed commissions. Halloween especially is my favorite time for ideas cause I'm a fucked up person who likes fucked up horror scenarios, so that really upsets me. I am still planning on competing in an art contest involving Hypnovemeber, as I had already had the picture planned, laid out, and had already started work on it. Again, I hope to finish the picture in time to submit it as a part of the contest, but I'm not sure if I will be able to, so keep an eye out. I am hoping I will start to feel well enough to do Christmas commissions, but at the moment, I really don't know.

Overall, guys, I've had a pretty shit run of things this month. I do not ask for sympathy or donations or anything at all; I just want to keep you all updated and make sure you know I didn't just abandon things. If you wanna chat, have questions or anything, please leave a comment or contact me over my telegram. Thank you all. Love you guys.<3

P.S. I'm on like 4 painkillers at the moment, so please bear with my ramblings ;-;
