Hey, bills come first. Don't feel bad about just trying to keep the lights on and the fridge stocked!

Ive got a bit of a suggestion on that, you could try seeing if people would let you sell some of the art youve already drawn as a print of some kind. Hopefully would help with some funds while not adding additional work.

But yeah, dont appologize for keeping the tax man away

Hope things starts to get better these coming days and weeks for ya. Take your time and do what you have to do. Also remember to take some good breaks in between it all. Even if you got a lot to get done so do you still have to take care of yourself and rest when you can.<3

I was going to suggest see if those folks want to take them as a stream commission instead... though granted that means you don't get the immediate payout of the in-stream cash.

Sorry, you're in a tight spot Fur. :( But you know you don't have to get to anything I want for a while, right?

Don't let it get to you. Look at this as a growing/learning experience and just try to breathe cause it sounds like you got so much that you need to take care of you're forgetting some time to yourself.

i suggest calming down and do things one thing at a time... you're just over doing yourself there. :T just chill and handle real life stuff first... then just draw when you can, if not then just do the best you can to either A. refund the people that have commissioned ya and you can't make the time to do the work unless this is recent then give yourself time is all you can do. B. Give the commissioners heads up on the situation which hopefully they read your stuff on news/updates on your situation and hopefully they understand. As i said, you need to give yourself sometime and stop rushing things. You'll either get it done or won't so you must be calm and collected.

You do you man, your well being is the most important thing

As others have said, take a break. Step away for a bit, breathe, relax. Find something to do, even if it means getting away for a minute to clear your conscious and focus yourself. Like I said during the last stream, I'm patient when it comes to getting art from artists, so, in regards to my piece specifically, no stress, no mess. Would rather you be energized and excited to do it rather than scattered.

I know it's all easier said on paper rather than done in practice, but you will get through this rough patch. It WON'T be today, tomorrow, hell, it might not even be in the next few weeks or even months. But eventually, you will break through it all and things will balance themselves out. You'll find that happy medium where things will flow naturally, both in work, art, and life in general.

For now, you are going to be bombarded as you try to find that balance. You just have to remember to breathe, and take time for yourself to recharge, otherwise, you're going to end up in this sort of situation. Baby steps lead to bigger leaps!
Chin up until then, okay? Be strong!

Take as much of a break as you can/need, man... sorry it's been so rough =(

you need to look after yourself first and foremost

would it be possible to cut stream comms down a wee bit and work on general comms on other streams ?

if theres anything i can do to try and help let me know <3

Hope some Ko-fi helps.....

-offers hugs- its okay. You’re only human. Just do your best, that’s all anyone can truly ask of you.
Always wishing you all the best. I always love seeing your incredible art anytime you post it.

I've dealt with alot of commissioners in my lifetime and I can say all of them were super easy going and understanding. Unless you take their money and then go awol, thats when a commissioner is going to be hurt/concerned. That you're keeping them up to date with whats going on in this journal shows that you care and are a trustworthy seller.

hope you feel better soon king.

People will understand! And if they don't then they aren't worth your stress anyway. You take care of yourself and your family and don't worry about other people
