Hello everyone! It has been ages since I have done much here. Aside from Christmas, believe I haven't made a single Furaffinity post this entire year.

One slight reason for that is I have actually commissioned 0 pieces so far this year. I still have commissions rolling in from the past, but specifically 0 of them were actually started since I got back from my trip at the start of the year.

Good thing I did go on that trip though, as gosh have things been crazy since Covid-19. Luckily, as an introvert, I have been social distancing my entire life, so socially it wasn't that big a change for me. Food shopping is still drastically different though and I've still been getting just as sick from non-Covid-19 things like seasonal allergies, which makes it near impossible to even go food shopping since people will look weirdly constantly coughing thinking it is the virus. Overall, mostly just been isolated in my house chilling, thinking about things, and having half this year consumed by Animal Crossing New Horizons, of which I am currently not too overly addicted to due to the economy being completely destroyed by people who exploit the game.

I work from home, so luckily I have still been making money. However, since most the money I make is from ads and people having spare cash, I made drastically less so far this year. With that being said, I am very much considering doing writing commissions soon. Will likely start with personal ones that have no obligation, start taking on really short short stories (likely around 1k or under words), and then start branching into bigger works. Mostly will need to do this to offset income some. If nothing else, it would help pay for more art on occasion as well. XD

Still never received the $1,200 check either, despite the IRS having my current address on file from every year that I have filed including having filed early this year before all the virus stuff was even happening. Wouldn't be the first time I lose out on $1,200 though, as that is how much minimum wage work I am still owed from my very first job that is never going to be paid.

As I mentioned, I have been very inactive here lately. Going to be changing that hopefully soon. I have a shit ton of posting I need to do here of commissions from the past year, but it seems like a daunting task as I believe it is around 100 pieces or so if counting all variants of all the pieces. Started going through it some today and will find a way to start chunking it out and uploading it with hopefully all of it being uploaded prior to July 4th for the holiday.

I noticed we are getting pretty close to 2,000 followers here on this FA. I really want to try reaching 2020 by the end of 2020, hopefully sooner. I recently passed this milestone on Twitter, but want to do something special when we finally get past it on FA. What specifically I have yet to decide for this milestone, but suggestions are appreciated. One thing I was considering was a large YCH with my dragon Gassac that I have almost no art of. It is elaborate enough that it could have around 7-10 different locations to put people while still having everyone in the middle of gassy action. Was considering having it as free, but may just make it an ultra cheap $5-$20 USD YCH just to cover the costs of actually commissioning something that large scale, as it would likely be the single most expensive piece I have yet to commission, as I believe $80 is the tied highest most I have ever currently spent for 1 single art piece.

Lastly, if you want to keep up to date with everything I do, I still have been posting pretty much weekly over on Twitter. It is a lot quicker to upload and do quick messages there, so still been doing it a decent amount. I will hopefully get back to getting more active on Furaffinity again, but Twitter these days always seems like a good location in case FA is ever down or just in general for contacting me as my FA mailbox is used almost exclusively for commissions.
