♤ Evening, everyone. It's Nyum-nums, or as some of you know me, VT, Stoat, etc. On this new account, I'll be going by 'Boss' or 'The Boss', and nyum-nums should be discontinued as a name.

So, I'll be doing a proper introduction to this account and everything once I'm all sorted, but I'm still chugging through my work queue. But to reiterate, this new account is experimental in that it will be run/moderated 'In-Character.' Nothing too roleplay-ish or anything, but more as a persona to put some separation between myself and my work on a professional level. If you see messages ♤ Like this, ♤ then it's supposed to be directly from myself, not Star. That's saved for serious messages with no in-character fluff.
I'll be running this account as my OC Star, who's the chipper, bright-eyed CEO of 'Starstruck Studios,' a fictional studio where my commissions are 'filmed' and 'shot,' like photoshoots. For me, it's a fun and creative way to think about commissions being staged in a fictional studio, rather than just being chugged out by a single, dehydrated artist who forgets to eat all the time.

This also gives me a chance to experiment with some art subjects that, prior to this change, I felt guilty about drawing. When everything is taking place in a controlled environment like a studio where things are safe and consenting, I feel less guilty about some kinds of vore, some experimental things I want to dip my toes in, and macro/micro stuff. [Nothing problematic, don't worry.]

Now, on to important matters.

Iron Artist:

It's taken exactly a year, but I'm on the last 7 of 108 Iron Artist commissions. After these are completely finished, I'll be opening up the Upgrade forms, where you can either add Flat Colors, or Rendering. [Full shading, background, etc.] Now, it sucks, but the upgrades will have to be first come, first serve. I wanted everyone to have theirs upgraded that wanted it, but with how long this has taken me, I want to be done asap. If I do end up having to reject some applications, I apologize in advance. But I hope you'll understand that I simply don't want to be buried in coloring work for another 6 months. WITH that being said, I'll consider opening up 'upgrade slots' later down the road, to cover anyone that didn't get in the first round. We'll see. Everyone will still be allowed to send in their apps, though, so long as they're sent in within the cut-off date. [1 week after releasing the form.]

I still have many IA's to post here to my scraps, so I'll be queuing those up some time.

And lastly, I'll be short: thank you to everyone's patience. I have handled this event poorly, and learned a lot through it. I'll be carrying the lessons I learned, moving forward, and I look forward to improving my practices in years to come. ♤
