HEY if you wanna buy something today, get yourself some art prints and stickers!! FROM ME! At my ko-fi shop!
https://ko-fi.com/anniemae/shop
Please. I wanna send you things!

Oh damn, just saw the new way that fiction/prose are formatted and if I was to write anything would you guys read it?

I sit... alone... in my desolate room. NO LIGHTS!

Actually no, I'm ok. I have lights, plenty of stuff, and lots of good things, but sometimes when we get into a sadness spell it's like I don't really have much of what I really need. Companionship and trust knowing that I will have a support group when I'm old.
Only a few more months before I'm 40, and a lot of other people my age managed to figure out a niche or a path that helped them get somewhere. Friends and connections that makes it harder for me to know I'm gonna be ok. We're still separated by the internet and distance is impossible to cover in a timely manner.

Things I think about, certainly when you watch old media, that a boat was months to weeks of travel, and then a horse drawn carriage can take weeks over a harsh terrain of the US. Even now, as I get fatter and older, walking becomes a chore in it's own right. I guess I can blame the failure of our society on my depression to give up, but I know we've made amazing strides from the long past, and it'd be nice to get something nice and not regress to those harder times.

Which i don't want to give up at all, but I will keep creating what I do, even if people don't love it. I'm just feeling like I've had to be the only person who cares about me and I don't get the attention unless I ask or cry about it. My body hurt sometimes, and I'd love people to finish my ideas or work on my projects for me. I want to be able to have someone IRL to hold and hug and tell me I'm still good... not just business praise, but like real love.

Otherwise, things going on, some moral support from people would be loved. Do the best you guys can do obviously, being a bitch is just that, annoying bitching. I do wonder if I try and open up my discord to people again. It's been a while and most of the people who were in there are pretty quiet. It'd be a place of lurking for sure but I need to get out those who don't even want to chat or stop by to see what's up.

What I'd love the most that if you have a bluesky, >> https://bsky.app/profile/smotmae.bsky.social<< give me some love there as well. I do appreciate a lot of the love I get here, it's stayed one of the strongest communities that want to engage with me, going on... 20 years by December. I think the new staff is better than the previous ones, but you guys gotta tell me if they're not gonna be hard asses on fanart porn or anything like that. The whole Digimon and Stitch ban was really dumb. Still not sure if I'll be able to get away with Warner stuff, even Newgrounds took a few of the Yakko pics down.

Anyway... thanks for reading. You guys can always ask me stuff, it's been a long time since I said anything, so here's an update, on a day that's not the worst day in the world, just a day that feels like it's alright to talk about myself for a moment.

If you've never seen my Sonic Friday Night fanart before> https://www.furaffinity.net/view/35041075/

Now's a good time to pick it up, imo.

Or someone went out of their way to flag a bunch of the Yakko pics and they're currently in a state of unpublished limbo. No notification that they violated a TOS law, or what to do in order to unflag them. Some other newgrounds dude said "a cub threw you under the bus" because even the Wakko and Dot pics are still up without so much of an issue.

I REALLY hate this struggle with these characters and I kinda want to push people who still insist the Warners are kids in 2005. We're struggling with so much bullshit, and you call yourself a liberal and have an issue with "underage fictional characters". Oh No, the kids from Deltarune. Oh Not the TMNT. OH NO the teen titans. I'm tired of it. Of all the things I'm tired of, this is the stupidest one to still be an issue within the online artist sphere.

And I've done my best to pretty much know what is an isn't allowed. It's very obvious when someone is doing sketchy shit and pushing the boundary. Or someone deliberately ONLY enjoys a character that is WAY too young and doesn't even attempt to age them up or create an AU that makes them more mature. And I'm aware of how this artwork was used to attract young artists, which is why I'm in the mess I'm in now. I was the youth who wanted to draw smut when I was barely legal, but here I am, still drawing what I want to draw. I'm also surrounding myself with other adults who are equally all messed up because of being big ol pervs all our lives.

I think anyone who's ever had issue with my art in the modern times, are those who were caught by their parents looking porn when they shouldn't have to sort of cover their ass. The Earthbound stuff really was like that, if it wasn't for a few people who just made it their vendetta to spread hate against me because they were insecure. The normal thing to do is just "ew, block/mute" and move on with your life. I'll be sad, but I accept it, at least you're protecting yourself and I'm happy my work won't be hurting you anymore. But the worst contenders are those who decide to go out and take down my platforms as if I've found a way into their house and will eat their brains if they don't try and ruin me in some way.

"Why don't you accept responsibility" what crime? Thought crimes? What I have learned is to 1) tag my shit so people don't see the triggering topic 2) draw more OCs which noone cares about to try and block. Most people know that I don't interact with many people, so I don't draw this stuff to "groom" people. It's just stuff that sits in my brain because it amuses me, and I get people equally happy that i drew it. I appreciate it.

I just really don't know why it's such a pain to have to just make art of these three and it will always be a struggle to let it be free online for those who need to know, it's ok to be a pervert. As the Warner's themselves said "we like drawing naked people."

I mean i guess if Tom Ruggar is going around these websites and reporting them himself, that's really petty of him, but I've only ever heard of him shit talking fanfictions because of how OOC they are. I'd be very sad if any of the staff were reporting my work (like how WB took down that Meat Canyon cartoon of Bugs Bunny raping Elmer Fudd), but I'm not gonna stop doing it, and I would encourage the rest of you to normalize this shit. Draw more cartoon porn! Don't commit real crimes, but please just draw more porn while you can. Don't let the purity bastards take this away from us.

Most of my galleries aren't that synched up yet. It is just going through the archives to see what pics still need to be brought over and released properly. A lot of pics were only on SubStar as very quiet exclusives, so the pics that I've been posting now are just free to the public, even through people over there saw them first.

I'm STILL cleaning up the Patreon stuff, and if anyone has any real feedback on which platform is actually better for nsfw artists, Subscribe Star or Patreon, please let me know. I still feel like Patreon keeps doing shit to stop porn and I've seen some people want to label Subscribe Star as a Russian spy tool. SubStar just doesn't care, but worst of it, getting paid by them is a real pain. If I had to give up that gallery, I don't know if I would make the switch. I'd just make all the porn public at this point. I'm just really bad at doing new art to keep people subscribed. Again, I'll say that it's basically a 5$ tip jar for really well done porn, and I don't have people STARVING to see more of my content, I'm just happy they still throw money at me.

That being said, some things I look at and go, "this could've been better", and I'll make em public over time.

If you hadn't looked yet, I'm reposting on Bluesky as well

And YEAH, Commissions are Open! Please DM if interested> https://www.furaffinity.net/view/59025520/

OK, so we're rounding out a year in which I hadn't really had much to say or I've been too busy to bring up my life stuff.

I will be honest, I'm mostly begging for commissions again. Commissions are never closed but I wasn't taken any for a while there, and no one was asking. I haven't taken any just to avoid throwing more responsibilities into me than I'm ready to take but let me say I'm ready for some. I took a few commissions this year, and most of them were private, so I couldn't really share them.I can't offer any sales, my work is already low priced.

I MIGHT do a 10$ IDGF "I don't give a fuc" commission offer sometime this week, which means you give me 10$ and you get what ever you wanted but I just half ass it. Black and white sketchy only sort of dumb shit. Now of course, I still have to put the normal rules onto it, like nothing that could get me in trouble, but it would be an anything goes so long as it's funny.

I'm just gonna be real, I need money to buy more shit. If you can't afford living or you got bills, keep your money. Make sure you're safe and well fed. This is for those furries who have too much extra cash and want to see their furries drawn. And yeah, I'm drawing a lot of humans, but please understand, I still do toony cute characters and furries. Part of all that is to improve my anatomy and practice. I feel like I do get better at these things the more I draw them.

Twice this last week I had people ask me why I wasn't more popular because my art is so good. I really don't know, other than I do keep to myself a lot more now. I think anyone here has read me talk about it before, and I will say most of my issues come from just not networking better. Friendships are still hard for me to rationalize as real mostly because I've had to accept that people come and go. I'm just gonna be here, I'll try and branch out, but it's better to just do what I can.

Going forward into the new year? Maybe I can actually commit to finishing a story for once. Hopefully it's just gonna be catching up on all the WIPs I started and I need to finish. Most of this year has been spent trying to find better galleries to be apart of and rebuild over and over again. Substar I have to just give you guys simple things again, because you guys are paying for it, and I hope they don't bill you for "nothing". Itaku still is my back up, that place is very hard to engage with, but it's a great alternative over FA. And FA is STILL my best platform. You guys are still sticking by here, I appreciate that. Newgrounds, I don't know, it's the same complaint. If it doesn't have boobs, no one cares. My fault is that it's hard for me to engage with other artists. I must be intimidated. I'll try and be better.

Anyway, how you guys doing?

I've had a few people uncover my old artwork, either because they're doing internet archeology or apart of a discord group that shares old stuff. I do find it wonderful to uncover a side of the internet that had it's own time and place, part of the joy of FA still being one of the oldest places online that hasn't changed too much. REALLY, for all the things that FA could fix, leaving this place old and broken is good. Modern UI and webdesigns that are fit for phone apps don't work all to well.

That being said Itaku is clearly a better website to be on right now, just for form and function. I still don't feel comfortable coming back because I stubbornly want to stick to my guns, but I don't really have the same attention or audience that I get here.. WHY???

I can sort of tell that they really put up the rules they did mostly to ban Jasonflex and other nazi furs, but characters like Stitch are still around and allowed, when he was one of the forbidding body types. I don't even know if it's safe to come back because of how bipolar some of the mods can get around here. Not that I've drawn anything that would be a TOS problem, just I don't want to worry about it. It's like how crazy Patreon got with it's types of art. At any point FA will have it's hands tied and will need to say they're going to ban a type of porn and then NOT, but only do it to the 15 artists that they've been looking for a reason to ban for ages... which could include me at this point, IDK. The things I draw can upset people, but I don't DO anything that would give them a reason to have an issue with me other than I just wanna place to post my art and call it a night.

When you guys though leave comments on old stuff, it feels good. I miss it. I like reading old comments and seeing how excited people used to get for new art. I mean I've never liked emoji comments (I'm guilty of doing that, sorry) but then I even if it was just "this is nice" leaves me knowing I'm doing ok. Newgrounds doesn't get it, it doesn't understand kink or furry stuff. The gay art gets more hate than love most of the time, even though there's always someone who says that they have a gay community to try and say it's not bias against dicks and balls.

Anyway, just wanted to mention that I do still check up around here, and read comments. Thanks for looking. I don't know how to reply but I appreciate it. Do check out my other galleries, they're more up to date.

Two new images again there were on Patreon are now updated.

A Plump Rouge> https://www.furaffinity.net/view/35000464/
Is now free to the public.

Playgirl Amy Rose Sketches - SubStar >> https://www.furaffinity.net/view/35000376/
Has been updated and links to Substar were colored versions now exist of each drawing. You can still help support me with this upload.

If you feel like commissioning me, they are open. Please inquire>> https://www.furaffinity.net/view/50457545/

OK some new Images open to the public there were previously Patreon exclusives.

Dr Ivo's RobotDICK> https://www.furaffinity.net/view/35243835/
The patreon link had been dead for a while, but you're still gonna need to go to
SubscribeStar > https://subscribestar.adult/posts/1174067
or Newgrounds > https://www.newgrounds.com/art/view.....ted=1707504423
to see the pingus because uploading a 2nd image to FA sucks.

Dr Eggman Ready to Screw > https://www.furaffinity.net/view/35243735/

Later this month I'll try and get the other Sonic art that was on Patreon up, which was just a Rouge the Bat Pinup and I'll colorize the Amy Drawings. Some of those will be made public while others, will be posted to SubStar.

If you wanna commission some Sonic stuff, commissions ARE open. Just note to ask about it.

Hey so I wanted to give people here a reminder that if you are curious as to where I post new stuff, the links are here. I'm still bitter and mad at FA and my account is in the red, I don't want to risk what ever it is I post here to get my account blocked for good.

Newgrounds and Itaku have become the better haunting grounds (for now) and if you have been missing out on my art, please create accounts there and engage with me there.
Newgrounds>> https://annie-mae.newgrounds.com/
Itaku>> https://itaku.ee/profile/annie-mae

Itaku has been REALLY fun to use because I get to spam dump art and post them in a batch that fits a theme. It's incredibly convenient and it's like getting to share old art that's made fresh again.
I have bluesky account as well, but I'm getting annoyed at any of those social media websites, to be honest. I don't know how to engage with people without pissing them off or having something negative to add to the conversation. Still I'll do my best to just use it because I have it. >> https://bsky.app/profile/anniemae04.bsky.social

"Hey so what about that Baraag account?" Yeah like Pixiv, I have it to have it. Most of the Warner stuff will show up there when I get the time to reupload them for back up purposes. If you find it, it's there, but yeah you'll have to hunt for it. You're not going to see stuff there that I wouldn't post here or on a different account. Art is fictional and drawing what ever you want to draw should be acceptable in this world.

HEY my phone died! Gotta get a new one! Buy stuff from my shop with code DeadPhone23 for 15%. Move my merch outta here please!

My art production has been just naturally slow, but if you've noticed that I haven't uploaded anything here in a while, I've been posting to other places.

Again this isn't the 1st time I've given FA a hiatus, but I'm just not gonna invest to much into this place for a while and then hope that itaku can be a new place to upload my art. I'll need to put all the Qurie and Among Creatures stuff there as well.

I've been going around and censoring a lot of old art, but I'm not deleting too many pieces. Again this is my oldest gallery online and it might be good to keep it locked in it's own time zone. I do hope that what ever I leave up doesn't cause problems or nuke my account again, but at the same time, I know better than to send in those "content approval requests". Never just send nudes because someone asks for them.

I'll check up on this place every once in a while, but for now, see ya somewhere else.

OK, I should make a journal about this.

I'm very lazy about it still, but pretty much all of June will be me going through my gallery and censoring MORE of the Warner and Pokemon and Digimon art I have in here. Animal Crossing is NOT at risk it seems, and if most of my characters were at risk, they'd have already been taken down. But it's HUGE possibility that Animal Crossing is next on the chopping block regardless of all that, so I'll look into getting all those censored as well (what a waste of time).

That being said, I'll make an effort to back most of that stuff up on other places. They'll end up being shared, for free, over on Subscribe Star for sure. Most of them should already be posted on Pixiv and or Rule34. I don't plan to make a e63 (what ever that place is called) account, but you're fine to repost any of the art there for me. Just tag properly.

I believe in internet archiving, and I disappearing art is no good. Many artists have no problems nuking their accounts but I don't believe in that. If someone discovers all the OLD shit I did and it upsets them, that's their problem. If there are people who wanna look at the art I draw and want to have a problem with it, those people are people who I don't respect very well.

Making up arbitrary rules to kink shame people you'll never know is such a waste of your valuable life and brain power...yeah I live in a glass house, and I throw stones in it all the time.

But where will I be reposting? Most of the "old stuff" won't really go to Newgrounds, unless I like it enough. But this would be the 4th time, that I've put uploading shit on FA on hiatus until further notice. When Tumblr was created and FA put their stupid "ban" on cub art the 1st time, that was the longest time I never used this place. Other recent times are any of these "my art was banned because mods were in a mood" periods. I'm just tired of creating special images for FA because I can't show titty of any cartoon character anymore.

Demion and Grunder are straight up sex criminals, but they're 100% valid to stay on this website but Wakko's fat sloppy dick will ruin someone's day. Amazing. For real, I discovered a new fetish last week, when I saw someone drawing "under age characters" (like Dot) strapped up in theme park ride chairs. It was COMPLETELY SFW but this gallery had commission after commission of cartoons about to be shot up into the air as apart of a rocket take off, or a theme park ride. How do you get that much money to pay random people who don't know better to draw these things?

Fetishes like that are made when you ban porn. People shouldn't be fapping to otherwise SFW situations that are normally sexilized. It may not even be a sexual thing for them, which is why they commission it. It's still a kink, right? It's still bending the rules of the website that says "minor coded characters" are bannable, when guys like this can have all these lolis strapped up in chairs with the tense expression like something bad is going to happen.
Yeah, what did I say, I throw stones in my glass house, but it's so fucking hypocritical and stupid to have to deal with this shit.

Still haven't committed to a Mastodon account that I would enjoy using, though I have a few lurker pages. I've seen a few furry galleries, but I'm not joining any furry gallery JUST for the furryness. I want good artists and most of them have NSFW twitters... and I REALLY don't want to be running a NSFW twitter account either. So mostly Newgrounds.

If you have a Discord and want to be in my group? You gotta ask for it. Let me know if you're interested.

FA's startin on some Bullshit again

https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10552819

I mean that in that I have NO idea what in my account applies to this vague description of "child like bodies" if they're gonna be going hard on Digimon and Pokemon, where even a Pikachu or Agumon can be considered child like. ALL CHARACTERS need a 5-oclock shadow and a forest's worth of pubes in order to exist here.
"you can report your art with a ticket" yeah and fucking out myself? No, thank you.
"Does this look like this doesn't follow the rules?" *mods nuke entire account*
"this is a great thing actually" fuck you for supporting cencorship, for real.
Maybe if there was a way to block out all the scat, feet and diaper art that floods this website, then you'd have a user base that enjoys it more actively.

Maybe my account will be ok again, but I'm gonna have to censor more art. I'm not gonna delete shit, I'm just gonna cover it up and tell you to go find the source. This place is my archive, I know that it'd be better to delete and avoid, but what good does that do if the art exists somewhere else already? The process of my existence means something to me and that I've had this account for nearly 20 years now.

I really hope my Animal Crossing stuff I don't have to mess with. They're on-model for most of them, but I made sure to give all the characters notable adult traits and there's not any desire to have them present as children. They're mostly just on-model with small pubes added on.

Yakko's still the grey character once again. I've made sure to keep him as "adult proportioned" as I can manage and most people don't report him. Any of my Dot and Wakko pics have been censored already, but I'll have to go through the Yakko ones again.

There are possibly a few odd ones floating around my gallery that I'll need to edit, but I'm not gonna mention which ones they are until I do em.

I do like to joke that my OC Wallop, is three years old canonically. He'll never "age", he'll never have a youthful or old body. Anyone and everyone is allowed to draw smut of him. Just don't give him ANY human body parts, like a penis, vagina, or nipples. Just a strap on and lots of bondage.

My health is getting better. I'm managing my time and my diet better than i was and while my art flow is still limited, I've been more inclined to draw. I hope I can keep it that way.

REGARDLESS I'm gonna just be honest, I need to buy Zelda game. I'm opening up commissions to help afford it.

Please look it over and help me out. If you are a SubScribeStar member, I can offer a few discounts such as 5$ off and removal of the adult fee. Keep that in mind. Thank you.

It's been too long since I've made a formal journal, and I'm mostly here to explain a lack of art or a complete break down away from communities.
From Jan through Feb, there was a rut that I had gone through. Make a comic for this local paper, make a new art for Fridays or the weekend, get something done for SubStar, and get a few commissions done. Honestly I don't have a problem getting the art done that I was able to get done, but my body has been telling me otherwise.

My hand physically hurt, and no amount of repositioning, stretching, or getting better sitting arrangements could fix it. It takes NOT drawing to fix the pain I was experiencing, and it can quickly go back to be impossible to draw. While I have MANY pics that I want to finish, I look at them and feel uninspired to do so. There's something that needs to be tweeked or better yet thrown out all together. My mood tells me it's not the best time to draw what I should or what I sketched out.

There is a technique in the art community is to be happy with non perfectionism, but with the comics that I post to the Newspaper every week, that's been what I've been doing. I spend a day or two talking with people who want THEIR idea and then I sketch it up as quickly and as lazily as possible. The effort I give them might not always be worth what I'm given at the end of the week, and it's likely what's caused a lot of stress. Back and forth editing issues and concepts I can't comprehend. It's great to have this job, but then I can tell I'm already burnt out about it, and that's really sad.

My body equally feels like it's falling apart, and I get mood swings into depression and lethargy. I have another little job, that I do enjoy very much, just a small retail job. I'm still doing fine in that, but when the weather is so rainy, people aren't out shopping. Failing businesses around my area make me sad. I want to be able to go around and shop and be entertained, but I'm not making enough money to help the places I love. I love the rain too, so I don't want to dismiss it, but I'm honestly surprised how I've wanted to stay inside more and have a more lethargic feeling because of it.

My diet sucks as well. Chocolates and breads are so easy to get a hold of, and you're dealing with a shut in life style, it makes everything worse. I often feel like I can bring myself out of it, but it doesn't last and there's a hormonal change that shoots me right back into not wanting to care or bother to keep myself from being tired. There could be things that happen with getting older that makes this harder to manage.

I'm sorry if March has NOTHING to show for it's self. I'm sorry I can't keep promises. I can't even sit without something hurting, I can't stand without something hurting, I'm not sleeping well without something keeping me awake, and even eating hurts. It hurts to draw and I don't have the attention span to even focus on a drawing for more than 30 seconds. Maybe everyone else is dealing with this now and I'm completely not unique. Some people are having a pretty good time right now, and others are having it worse. All I can do is stay outta it and avoid getting other people's hopes up.

All I have is gaming right now. I enjoy playing video games. Splatoon may not be the best way to be spending my time, but I need something to help me feel happy. Also tinkering with virtual pets has helped. It's been expensive but I like being able to take care of these little guys. I got a real IRL DOG too, he keeps me busy with exercising the best I can.

I'll have a dr.s visit soon enough to look at me and tell me I'm fat and I need to stop being fat like they always do. Suggest a therapist who I talk to but they absolutely just make me feel more self conscious than I want.

I don't even know if people have really "missed" my art or noticed I've even been MIA, but now ya know. I'll post when I can post. Thanks for reading.

Yes, I'm posting on Tumblr again for anyone who still follows that place. I rather like making long form journals.

It's been rough getting old. I get worried more often about loosing foundations and people close to me that I still rely on. I don't have a good ability to maintain connections and friendships. Twitter falling apart is really funny, but it was the place where I got the most feedback despite not producing my best work. I think at this stage it deserved to fall apart. It wasn't a great website, and we all knew it wasn't good enough to support.

Other things I worry about is my body weight and pain. I still fall back onto playing games and being sedentary. I get out to walk and move around but I get bored about it and I get anxious for stupid reasons. People looking at me or that I should be doing something else. Drawing is my job, and with my wrists and joints hurting a lot, it's become harder to draw consistently. It's what I'm good at and what I need to do to stay relevant. It's very much like Kiki's Delivery Service where if I loose this ability, or even other parts of my health, I loose a lot more then just income.

I'm not sure what I can give back to the community or people who enjoy my work without killing myself over it. I can't stop being a perfectionist, and I'm just sorry I can't fullfill the things I want to do and give people. I put a lot of work out there to get attention and feedback, but it's never going to attract the people who are willing to help me get farther.

And it's unfair to even say such things, because I have gotten love and attention from people. I just fail to give back what I get. Still, I thank the people who want to give me those good feelings and likes. You are good in your own right, and you have your own issues to deal with in your life. What I do and what I complain about shouldn't stress you out.

On Wednesday, it'll be my 37th birthday. I don't really have any plans and it seems like anyone who I could spend the day with is gone or busy cause it's the middle of the week. I haven't really felt like being friendly either, and if anything if I could get a chance to spend the day by myself doing things away from people that'd be nice. But it does feel like there's not gonna be a celebration this year.

IF you so feel inclined to be nice to me, there's always a ko-fi donation. I would LOVE to send you some stickers and things I'm selling. So buy yourself an item from the shop. That supports me and gives yourself something funny in the process. Thank you guys.

Social media? Yeah most likely Tumblr. I'm used to it. I'll see what most other people ending up using later, but I honestly hate setting up new accounts all over the place. I have a Co-Host and a Mastodon, but I gotta get in the head space to actually use them effectively. I should get Postybird or something to help manage that.

So every December I've drawn Undertale and Deltarune smutty fanart. If you guys want to make suggestions for pics that you'd like to see, this is your time to make suggestions. People who sub are certainly going to get 1st dibs and exclusives for this month, but if all goes well, I'll be able to get as much of them done as possible. Let me know what you guys would like to see. 

Make suggestions here if you'd like but all the art will be hosted over on my Subscribe Star page> https://subscribestar.adult/posts/758641

Hey everybody, I'm still in recovery but I just got over the worst of a covid head cold ever. Like shit noone should go through this. Please get the vaccine, I have to explain why the vaccine is important and it's not just this blind faith sort of deal. The virus without a vaccine, like the original version of it, used to sit in the lowest parts of your lungs and naturally develop phenomena. You wouldn't know this was happening to you until your lungs were too filled up to cough up or heal naturally.

So when I got to this stage where my nose was completely blocked up with mucus or inflammation, I was like how is this happening, so I looked it up and this is how the virus evolved with the vaccine. Omicrom learned that sitting in the bottom of the lungs and killing it's host does it's self no good, and the vaccine wants you to fight the virus the best way it can which is to create a lot of mucus and sneeze it out. It keeps it's self in your nose to avoid it getting too deep in your lungs and you can avoid having a worse conditions.

This isn't what happens to everyone and for people who managed to get covid and not feel ANYTHING, you guys are the real flukes. I do hope I explained that well enough for people, but between my home recipes (elderberries and yerba santa tea) you keep your immunity high and your lungs clear. Please, for liability reasons, consult a doctor and real medical professionals when you have to deal with covid. I'm just explaining my experience with it. Three days of fighting and I'm still not complete yet. Mom caught it at an event last week, and we all went through the cycle over the week. Thankfully they all got through it ok. I expect a relapse sometime next week too, cause that's what this virus does.

Outside of that, been watching Twitter fall apart, and yeah I'm still here like I usually am, but I've been seeing the energy there and it's fucking horrible, even if the website isn't DEAD or going away. If it actually breaks down and muskrat deletes it, that'll be a blessing. I have accounts on mastodon that I haven't really committed to yet, but I'm like getting back into Tumblr for the hell of it. You can post porn there without it getting flagged and you can link to off site hosts if you need to share it. I think if anything I'll do my best to post the stuff I need to about Qurie over there because that was 6 years of stuff I didn't really get to expand there. Tumblr allows for long form posting and I've always liked that about the site.

ANYWAY... let me know how you are doing.

How about a little update. Been a busy month.

One of my part time jobs is coming to a close so I want to put this opportunity to remind you guys that my commissions are open and by next year, the prices WILL go up a bit. I do feel like my art is more valuable then it has been previously and I let it stay low for a year so some people could get it during a recession. It really did work out because I don't often take commissions and I'm too slow at drawing to really be there for people. The prices aren't going up because of inflation, it's just what you're supposed to do as you start doing more work.

Maybe I can give some feedback about getting commissions from me. People who have paid me and I've completed their pic, you guys have been awesome. Most of the time, I don't have problems with commissioners. What I do still get, and everyone goes through this, are the ones that sort of BAIT you into a commission.
IE:
Them: Are you open for commissions?
Me: yeah what you want
Often times I'm a day late in checking the notes but sometimes they are WEEKS late in replying to me.
Them: My OC with this Character
Me: Ok sure got details and references?
Them: Yeah like a comic of them doing all these actions and sex poses
Me: ok it's gonna take a while and cost this much.
Then I never hear from them again OR
Them: What will it cost to get just this one pose then
Me: *tells them the new price*
Them: OK
and THEN I never hear from them again. Or even better they'll say "ok that sounds good" but still disappear.
I'm 100% ok with someone saying, they can't afford it because you need food or to pay other bills that month. Take care of yourself 1st. Just I'm keenly aware of the "scammer" type mentality of certainly people dropping into your DMs hoping you do all the work for no money for them. That comes with the territory of saying "commissions open" and it triggers a bot to find you.

I'm not hunting for commissions to do really. I know some people live for the hussel, but I just get distracted by my own ideas too often and equally I play video games a lot. What I should be doing are these things:

Be insanely thankful to the subscribe star people who are patient and tolerant to my random submissions that I give them. I really don't know how to run a service like that for a living without getting bored and it's pretty cool that they're just throwing 5$ at me every month without a problem. I do offer to take off 10$ for any adult theme commission they want to ask from me.

Then be looking for more art jobs in general. My work is printable and graphic design friendly. I love doing logos for people and I don't really know how to network myself around to get those things. I've always tried to do contests and stuff, but I never actually get picked and it's always been a let down. If I ever had a fursona, it would be a skunk, because I'm cute and friendly, but that white stripe and the stink of someone difficult to work with repels them.

ANYWAY >https://www.furaffinity.net/view/40205067/
This is the price sheet until the end of the year. I'm about to finish up the last one I owe someone and I would like to get a few more. Take care of yourselves out there first.

OK, so let me make a journal to keep people up to date.

THERE IS A NEW SUBSTAR PIC! >> https://subscribestar.adult/posts/688931
My small obsession with the Soulmates: Gift of Christmas Light cartoon has stirred some inspiration for me. If you haven't seen it, or don't know WHY... 1st off> https://youtu.be/oW_CbIX3NSE << watch it.
2nd off, it was a cartoon based in lost media: TLDR >> It wasn't really lost but rediscovered. The old man elf in short was the only image that they had to use as reference. But to MY surprise, the villain Angris McBragg hit all my buttons, so I felt like I needed to give the short some much needed Rule 34. There might be one more pic for it when I get there, and I'm hopeful you guys appreciate it. I'm gonna draw it one way or another.

Anyway, the real good news is that the CA heat dome finally went away, and while there will be lots of unseen BS that can come my way, right now, I'm in a good place to get back to drawing again. There was nothing I could share during the month of August, and I was still managing so much other shit at the same time. Still, thanks for being patient with me.

Then of course I got splatoon 3 and I'll be making that my winter game for the most part.

Things coming up:
I put up a few designs on RedBubble to sell and get on things if you're interested. If you feel like they should be on Society6 and TeePublic, I can put them up there as well. I'm gonna try and get them printed on stickers to sell, and I'll host those on my Ko-Fi when I get there. I have two semi secret accounts that I'm working on; one is a neocities.org space for Qurie and then a Co-Host account, which I'm not all ready to get into yet, because they have file size restrictions and junk, whatever. Anyway, that's all you need to know now. >> https://youtu.be/EXU2tnKEwwo?t=120

ok, so something i've been putting off is a BIG OLD SORRY that I've had nearly no art to share this month. It's been too fucking hot and my OCs are making me do things. I've got a million wips, and I can't really be drawing porn in public or working on my PC in my oven of a room. So I do hope you guys are ok with this and I can wait until next month... which I can't promise will improve because global warming means september is now the hottest month of the year around here.

Take it easy and I'm doing the best i can.

Posting a lot of new images that were patreon exclusive and are now available to the public.

So the best update I can give you all is that it's summer time and I'm naturally slower at creating art than I was during the winter. I don't really have good AC in my house and it's easier for me to be distracted and focus on keeping cool.

And I need to be up front again about how horrible this year has been. Between dealing with personal health issues, currently it's improving with physical therapy twice a week. Diet's still kinda all over the place and I spend a lot of money making sure I have a good diet that doesn't fuck up my guts.

Death has been very abundant this year and it's not all covid either. I had a cat die at the start of the year, Rusty, which I mentioned, then my aunt passed away in that time. Between her having a small window of improved health and then being completely unable to come back from it and choosing to go on her own. So I'm thankful that we're over with most of that since she's passed, dealing with her affairs. I take care of mom emotionally now for the most part where now I'm making sure I can keep an eye on her and her health (which gives me stress in it's own way).

I was very worried about this other cat of ours going under, which she's still in a gray zone, but she's shown interesting improvement over the last few days, and we can only hope that she'll get back to a stable point. I still expect her to go back to being as sick as she has been, but it's been a money crunching year.

I get very upset about politics as well, but I'm honestly trying to NOT be around the internet and engage with people of that sort as I was. It's just too much. It's very easy for me to say that I can't just focus on art all the time any more. Obviously it's all I can do for an income and I do want to open up commissions again, but I feel bad for Substar not getting the best work that I could give them because I don't have it in me to be horny. I have good people online that I can talk to, but I have no personal connections. I'm still just very distant and afraid to be open with people when I need to.

All that being said, I'll do some commissions this month if people are feeling like asking for one. I'll let you know if I can do your idea or not, and you can always just send me a note about anything even. I will check messages, but yes, I don't always look online as often anymore if I can, but I will get back to you when I can. Thanks for understanding.
