What Happened?
8 years ago
This was a long hiatus. It might not mean much to some, and it is definitely bad form and it's definitely not enough to make up for unpaid debts yet: but I am sorry I had to leave for so long.
What happened was simply life. Around New Years Eve, I had to leave my job and my only source of income at the time, and within two weeks my 7-year-old laptop gave away. At the time I thought I could immediately replace it but it took me 2 and a half months - and I am paying for big installments right now, not sure how I'll stay afloat for a while but I can access here again. It must sound like I'm doing this on purpose or I'm bullshitting, and sadly I can't give much more than my word that what happened has indeed happened.
Regarding commissions and refunds: Gotta be transparent about the fact that I've had a refund request -- I ashamedly taking a whole year not delivering, but this was even before my old computer gave away. I had to give this response then and I have to give it now: I am actually literally incapable of refunding, and it's not because of any financial problem. It's because I actually am stationed in a Middle Eastern country where they've actually shut down access to PayPal (and any functionality for citizens of this particular country) for a while - a little later after I claimed not to accept any more commissions, fittingly. I will deliver what I need to deliver and open my horizons.
New commissions, however, will not be a part of this. It's proven time and time again that my life and perhaps I am, by design, incapable of handling commissions. Even if I could access PayPal, my commissions would be still closed. A lot of people, surprisingly (even to me), still have been asking when I am going to open commissions. I am so thankful that you love and enjoy my art and want to see me take a spin on your wishes and willing to pay for it. You are all lovely and you always stick by me and my art even after all this silence.
There are so many great artists I love and admire on this site and I rather want to give them gifts within the small free time I am allotted, instead of being on and off about commissions. There are many people still waiting for a follow up to Sonic XX after how many years and I still plan things, but stuff that I plan are very demanding for one person. When I'm more free, I'll reconsider it, because I have the story and the general scenes penned and I've tried my hand at drawing the "naked doll" to draw the dresses on her later -- but nothing visceral has satisfied me yet and it definitely has been slow so far. If the game ever gets made, however, it's going to be distributed as an .exe file and I don't even know how I'm going to distribute it.
I am not considering Patreon for now due to my track record - and I haven't even investigated that the site would work in where I live to begin with. Maybe, just and if maybe I get to a point in the game that I can't go through by my own, I will then consider it. Thank you all you guys that also suggest me to try my hand at it. At this point, I am definitely certain that I am not capable. There are many people on the internet that I've been a fan of that also proved incapable of holding onto Patreon promises. It is indeed frightening, and fear isn't a good emotion to have if you're getting funded by people monthly.
Anyway, I'll be steadily working up my gallery again. Thank you so much for sticking with me, for whatever reason.

Are we allowed to get you gift art though?
Mostly I had the idea of iva running into the new sonic, and the two sitting down, having a nice lunch togeather.
while onlookers are confused as all hell
have you tried western union?
that's if you want to go through the hassle that is. Because it can be a bit of a pain depending on the situation and set up.
Anyways stay safe and duck when you hear that damn'd zipping by noise.
I'd say take your time and do what you need to do, but I never commissioned you or anything so I couldn't just say that not knowing xP
Regardless, I hope you're doing okay.
2nd have you thought about doing YCHs or maybe even adoptables? With ych you can have a pre-designed pose and work with that to save you time and such. And everyone loves adoptables XD
I'm sorry for all this crap that is happening to you and hope you'll manage to get through it.
Also, I've read about giving you some gifts and I kinda liked the idea. However, since I'm not that good at drawing, I was hopping you'd accept a little story I'd write... So I wanted to know, what kind of story you like?
hopefully you can get things done soon been wondering why things had stopped!
