I am setting a hard deadline for myself to get all owed work out in the next 2-3 weeks.

I've set deadlines for myself before this point, I know, but a set of circumstances have come up where I couldn't keep those deadlines and haven't been online very much if at all recently.

If I miss the completion of your piece by this deadline, you are more than welcome to a partial or full refund, depending on the amount of work already completed.

If you do not care to know what has been going on, than this is as far as you need to read, as the deadline really IS the key piece of information here and everything else is just gravy to explain my prolonged absence.



Welp. My family life had gotten no better, and every time since my last few journals I've been caught doing 'silly artwork' by my family instead of finding a 'real' job to support myself with and get out, my power was cut off on me or I was yelled off the computer.

FORTUNATELY, I DID find a full time job, as a dental lab assistant in the polishing room. Which to be honest, is a lot more manual labor than it sounds, and is utterly exhausting though I do enjoy it. My problem between not having a job and now having one and starting new said job the past few weeks, is 1)getting in to a rhythm that gives me enough sleep to make it through my entire shift the next day, 2)working ANOTHER online job on the weekends so my parents do not spew hatred into my little hidey hole until I leave, and 3) finding living space to keep said job because Vella's situation has changed and she is now going to California with her beau while I stay in Alabama. I'm in the strange predicament of having to FIND a place VERY short notice, and because new job is new, I have to wait out three paydays or so before I can get a decent pay stub to even qualify for the dirt cheap places and prove my income.

So a LOT of time and spare energy has been going into doing all those things.
On the flip-side, I've been getting MORE and more upset with myself that I haven't been able to keep my word on HERE too. Usually my turnaround time isn't so insanely long and I hate that I keep having to tell ya'll the next newest catastrophe that's struck my life and kept me away from finishing artwork. Which, is why I've set a definite hard deadline, even if I have to pull all-nighter weekends to get it all done. It's definitely getting done within the next two to three weekends, 110%. I've gauged how much sleep I need during the week and how much free time I actually HAVE, and if I keep my nighttime useage to a minimal amount during the week/spend the online time looking for apartments I can qualify for, then I'll actually have somewhere already set up for me to GO come June 1st, while still getting my work on here done. I can't apologize enough for the holdups really, this entire situation the past few months has been completely botched up at every turn for a variety of reasons. Between stepdad getting me fired from last job all the way to starting new job now and all the shit I got from my parents inbetween about how I deserved to be talked down to like the scum of the universe because HE lost my job, this has been a horrendous past few months.

I appreciate all of you sticking with me, expect a quickish trickle of sketch/line/color approvals and then mass uploads on weekends for the next few weeks!
