Whats been going on..
8 years ago
Sooooo I've been MIA a lot lately, just thought I'd recap whats been going on so everyone can understand the lack of art and possible lack therof in the future.
We'll start with the begining of this year, which looked super promising. I moved to my grandfather's land in a large RV. I even got a puppy, a laptop, and I was able to start drawing again.
Then. Like an omen. My town got hit by a tornado.
FUN..STUFF..
The damage caused to my rv had to be paid.
A month later I traveled a month to neighboring state, drove seven hours to pick up a truck with seven thousand dollars saved up in my hand. Turns out halfway there the guy calls and tells me he might not be able to sell it to me.
When I arrived I had to watch my dream vehichle slip through my fingers for the second time in my life and walk back to my car (which was breaking down) and drive back home.
Things just got worse from here..
The day I came back, My compromised immune system took a huge hit as I got both the flu and strept, which for most people they could easily take medicine and get by. I unfortunately am not most people. I got a fever of 116, which is basically fatal. I managed to call a friend to take me to the hospital. Long story short. I nearly died in the end it ended up costing me nearly the 7,000$ I had saved to save my life.
fast forward a week after.
My car got in a wreck when a van came to dead stop in front of me and I had a choice to veer into oncoming traffic, dip right and flip my car or hit head on in front. I chose the latter, and my car was near totaled, and I fractured my leg.
As the days went on I wasnt really able to walk and got laid off from my job.
My grandfather decided he no longer wanted us living on his land (because of my dog. And because he pooped.) and we were forced to move again to a friends property. Things went well until they began losing patience with me. I began saving up again to be ready to move.
Then the shit storm hit.
My main vehichle and my backup vehichle both broke down, so I had to purchase a new one with all the money I had saved. This wouldve been great if the night I was looking at car lots I got a ticket.
That ticket costed me 300$
A few days later I got another one.
another 300$
I finally bought a truck, though not the one I had wanted.
And like expected, its transmission broke.
The seller offered me a new one but it was the wrong one.
So I replaced it in two days. which costed me 300$
I drove it for 20 minutes, and then it broke again.
The turning signal also snapped around this time.
GREAT.
I replaced the transmission again which was another 350$
and it ran great for a whole two days and now Im having to fix it again.
When I got home I noticed my cats were sick so I had to get them to the vet.
While away my dog got a hold of my roommates goat.
so I had to take him somewhere else. </3
Now I really have to leave, but my savings are completely drained.
There's just a ton going on right now.
Not to mention during the first move a toolbox was dropped on my tablet so it no longer functions and I had to purchase a new one.
Art is not going to be flowing in like it used to.
While art helps me get away from the stresses of this day to day hell I've been in, I've been unable to because I'm constantly working just to try and crawl out of this ditch.
All these events took place within weeks of each other and there was just so much that happened that I didnt really mention but as you can tell this just wasnt my year.
While I dont really have time I'm trying. So if your waiting on commissions or trades and requests please hang tight.
My life is like a hurricane that just started raining chainsaws.
And spear's.
But Im trying.
Thank you.

As a result, I'm pretty good at listening. ;)
Video calls sound cool to me as well, Sin-Wolf! :3 Whatever works, really... just as long as you know that despite all your hardships and goddam vehicular dilemmas (so many issues with reliable transportation! Crimony!), you've got my full-on support, no matter what.
I'm just SO SORRY you've been going through all this bullshit, SinWOlf. For real. :( Nobody deserves such foul luck.
This is why I wish I lived closer... I'd fuggin' help you move, then just loan you my car for a while and walk my way to work and back. :I GODDAM CALIFORNIA/TEXAS DISTANCE GAP >8(
Look... about my Darrel/Raccoon-girl comic commission... it can wait for as long as need be. In fact, you honestly don't even have to worry about it one bit at all! I don't mind seeing the idea going to the voids. Seeing as how much you've been put through, a comic is the least of my concerns. I'm more situated towards your well-being and better health, my friend!
You are a blessed and strong-willed individual. Everyone hits struggles and strife in their lifetimes. From what I'm reading, you've just received your fair share of a real shitstorm in recent... what, months? Years? God dang, Sin! :'( *hugs extremely tight* I'm terribly sorry that life has been less than stellar for you.
You know, if all else fails, you could just drive your way west, towards my end of the continent. This ol' shep-coon is more than willing to grant you a reasonable bit of hospitality and warmth while you stay for a while, help get your act together, find a part-time job, etc. - the sky's the limit. Only if all else fails and nothing else works in your favor where you're currently at. Seriously. My doors are open to you, my friend. You can fucking DO this. You've got the strength to pull through, I know you'll be fine. I know it.
I love you, Sin-Wolf! <3 <3
Keep me posted in the meantime, mmkay?

Thanks so much for the kind words
I did have my RV, unfortunately another tornadic storm blew through and unfortunately ripped off my entire a/c unit and completely removed the tow hitch end and the bedroom.
Texas weather does not play lol
No worries about helping with funds, your kind words are more than enough, in times like these sometimes thats all we really need.
