I have effectively reached a point in my life where I will no longer be doing commissions. I don't draw nearly as much as I want to and am SUPER out of practice and at this moment in my life don't have the time/motivation to get back into it. You'll still see me post here because I'll be drawing personally and for friends. I'm going to be doing streams here and there to to give out freebies but I no longer have any interest in making money off my art. Those waiting on any commission from me (no one has paid me for anything yet, we've just discussed that I would work for you) you can consider that your project will not be done. If you did pay me for something (I really don't think there is anyone) that you never received, please comment or note me and I will shoot you a refund immediately!
I want to thank you all for your support throughout the years and will continue to enjoy having you here for those that want to stay to continue to watch me! Here's where I plan on going from now on:
So I've taken an much greater interest in sewing and embroidery than I have in drawing. The past couple of months, I've been preparing a sewing studio in my apartment! Basically all I still need are my machines! :D One has already been purchased and the other will be obtained post MFF. (My hotel for MFF is under my name so I had to budget extra for it while my friends pay me back :) ) Once they do, and mff is over, I'll be getting my sewing machine after the holidays and start off the new year sewing! I'm really excited for this and plan to start very simple by doing fursuit bandannas and maybe some other accessories. I won't be opening for commissions for these immediately but plan to make some for friends and some as premades. I also will be resuming phone cases but will again, start with premades and go from there. I'm still a grad student and work keeps me busier than expected so I'll likely still post at the same pace I do with art but I'm still really excited for this change. It feels like the right thing to do and by not tying my sewing directly to business I'll still enjoy it and get a lot done.
To those that had requested phone cases, and anyone else who agreed upon a commission with me, as thanks for your patience and understanding I am giving you a free coupon! :D This coupon will get you any premade item I create from now on for free. (So you'll still get something from me.) Basically, once I start getting premade things done (around February) you can just claim one and I'll ship it your way. I'll be making fursuit bandannas mostly, but also patches and I'm even considering doing some plush making!
Personal Stuff
On the personal side of things, my life is doing really well. I've transitioned into my new work position MUCH better this year. I've stayed connected with friends and really like my coworker. Grad school is stressful but going well! I'm passing my classes and learning things, and stepping ever closer to my masters.
I have been mainly communicating via Facebook the past few months and they finally kicked me out of my account via their bs fake name policy. I understand where they're coming from but given that they're changing their policy in a month it's stupid that they're attacking so many people now. I'm done with Facebook now, so those that are trying to reach me there, that's the thing. I'm not even using my real facebook and it's crazy how much of my life I've gotten back. You can still follow me on Twitter (which I'm now more active on, haha!) which is LailadieMeyan if you need a social media kick of cat.
Lastly, I've acquired a lot of fantastic new furry things that are coming my way slowly. The first to arrive was my hoodie by Lemonbrat! I'll post pics here eventually, it's really fantastic! The second were my cat ear headphones from that super long indiegogo! I love them and am so glad they finally made it. The third will be a kigu my MangoIsland. I'm so excited to see how it'll turn out! :D Hoping I'll have it for MFF but due to some delays that may not be happening but that's life! The fourth is my daki of Shimmer. You guys saw the image here done by lapres and I'm still waiting for it to arrive in the mail. Should be another week or so, it's still in China somewheres. The last thing is sitll a secret and I can't wait to show you all but that has also been delayed due to life things! (Neither of these delays were my fault and it's a bit ironic, haha!) That'll likely be revealed early 2016 so be excited!!
I've also made huge headway in my skills/playing of League of Legends. I'm Plat 4 currently and with the season ending early next week I'm excited to reap the profits of my hard work. More importantly, I spent about a month trying out to join a ranked team. I was accepted into on just a week ago and I'm excited for the new season to start to see where everything ends up.
Anyways, that's about all I got on life updates and what not. I'll post my MFF meme here before the con and look forward to seeing everyone there! :D I've started a list of people I have to meet so let me know if you want on it!
Any questions, comments, or concerns, please don't hesitate to let me know!
and again, thanks for all your support! You guys mean a lot to me, even if I'm never around. And to those that read this whole thing, you guys are real friends and I love you!
