2020 Updates/ Changes going forward
6 years ago
Hellow all, and happy new year!
Im sorry that i am a little late on this, i was super ill over the holidays, and just not feeling up for much at all.
It has not been any secret that i am mentally sick, and struggling, i have been making bad decisions and having impulsive reactions. I have not been very professional at all, and i am sorry about that. It has honestly been scaring me and just causing constant anxiety that im losing what little following i do have, and just making a horrible name for myself. I could write a whole journal alone on all the things i have done wrong these last 2 years, but this isnt a self pity journal. This is to let you guys know what is going to be happening from here on and forwards.
First thing is first, i am permanently closing my commissions permanently, or until further notice. I will spare you all my details, but basically im on sick leave from my work IRL. I started with digital art wayyy back on Destros account 3 years ago, and my main goal, was to use digital art to vent, and make a comic, but i fell in love with the idea of becoming a full time artist, To just do something i love full time for money, and i was showing signs of actually being able to, and life happened, and eventually, i was forcing myself to work because i NEEDED money. Don't get me wrong, this choice is going to hurt me financially, REALLY badly, BUT i really need to focus on my health.
Since im off of work IRL, i had NO business trying to work from out of my home. Im off for a reason, and i really do need to prioritize that, and stop worrying about "Work" all together. I am making this move so i can go back to my roots. I started with a comic, but due to my need for money, my comic got put on the back burner, and its time to take a slight break, and just sit, relax, focus on my mental and physical health, and go back to using art as a hobby for a while.
I am very excited to get back on my horse and just work on telling my story threw the medium i love; Art. And i hoping threw this change of pace, i will Re Find my love for art! <3
NOW FOR THE FUN STUFF
I have a lot of my comic planning done, and its a pretty open ended story, where im using character development threw situations to tell my story. So, I will be opening an application journal soon for those who would like a chance to have their character show up. So i can pick characters that would work the best in the scenes i am working on <3
And all this being said, if i do get a hit of inspiration, i MIGHT open a YCH here and there along the way. But thats way down the line once my queue is officially complete. (Which i AM still trucking at those, and have a good chunk complete, its a slow process, but i have been finishing them <3 i do have a journal that im still keep up to date for those i still owe work to.)
Sorry for the long read <3

I'm so glad you're prioritizing yourself hun. I am so sorry that being a full time artist this time round was only hurting you more, and I am happy you are taking the right steps for getting better! You are an amazing artist, and if you do decide to try giving full time art work again way way WAY into the future, I'll be here for you <3 I can't wait to see your comic! I know its going to be fabulous, my princess of pomeranians <3
Your comic idea sounds cool, can’t wait to hear more about it.
