'u'~<3 NOW TRUELY, CAN I FEEL, ALIEEEEVE

Trying to knock out patreon requests, and discuss some ideas for next month's patreon thing for rad d00ds

--Stream Called on account of Picarto exploding. Sorry all--

In lieu of straems, since family kidnapped me and I'm dead--

I have come to the realization that I am this man.

Because it seems whenever I manifest within Skype's hallowed instant messenger program, people are like HI.

Not gonna lie, I'm... pretty concerned. Mostly of having legal action taken against me in the event that things go south. Not having the full terms readily available doesn't help either.

Guess I'll poke some things on my page. What do ya'll think?

I'm still waiting on some patreon rests for Feburary, so feel free to throw those at me whenever!

On another note, ACK -- I have way more 20$ patrons than I originally estimated. That's actually kind of amazing, but I think I should fiddle with how I do patron stuff and see if I can't come up with something easier for me to work with. I have more 20$ patrons than I do 5$ ones XD; AND WHILE THAT IS LIKE, AMAZING, AND I LOVE ALL OF YA'LL, that's a lot of requests. 'w';

We'll see how things go for March - but for the moment, If you're included in the 20$ patron thing, THROW DETAILS AT ME.

aaahhhhhhhhh I am making this journal when I am SUPER tired from grandparent stuff, so no idea how coherent I'll be.

THIS MONTH IF ANYTHING Kind of shows that I owe you guys for a lot. Like a lot a lot. D: I know I've said it before, but I'm hoping this month will go better, and I'll stream more and do all the things.

Patreon's still going good! So huge thanks to everyone there. I'm going to work on doing a request stream at some later point to say thanks for that <3

Gonna try doing a normal stream early tomorrow, if the fates are willing, to take care of some stuff first

OK SO

I FEEL LIKE CRAP.

well I've felt like crap most of this month, but IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE I just haven't really been all that productive and I feel bad about it. So I thought I would offer some explanations in a proper, singular journal, and get some stuff off of my chest. Even if every time I do this feels like me giving out excuses like candy on Halloween.

First order of business, COMMISSIONS. I'm not actively taking them for a while. I should have probably done this sooner, but I didn't really wanna go "NOPE" to those. Until I clear the stuff off of my plate that I have already, assuming I ever do, I'm really not in a position to take anything else. This doesn't mean I'll stop doing art for people, I still intend to try and do some more request streams, and the patreon stuff gives me a new avenue with which to do so, I just don't feel comfortable saying "I WILL DO THIS THING" when I have an assload of stuff piling up on me.

Next up, INACTIVITY. Time to pile on the excuses. Well you've probably heard about me mentioning floor-building at some point! That's one reason. My grandparents kind of got ripped off, paid 18k for a new floor since part of their house is sinking (doesn't help it's on concrete blocks since we're near the coast), and really only have the base-floor done, which isn't high enough to match their current floor and that makes it dangerous for them to do stuff on it, because they're old. So Mom, Myself, and the rest of the family have been popping over to add a few more layers to it. THAT, should -FINALLY- be finished tomorrow. ish. Up until they buy the finishing planks and stuff, than we have to do that, but that's in the future.

I've also been sick! Not in a traditional sense, I was sick for a bit, maybe like a week, but during that time I -THINK- I ended up getting a Canker-sore or mouth-ulcer (whatever you wanna call it) on the base of my tongue. Too deep for me to administer anything to it, and in the most irritating of places, where swallowing anything became a chore. Especially hard, or flakey foods. Spent an entire evening at my grandparents basically scientifically experimenting with what I could, and could not eat, without wincing. End result was "Not much." Buggered up talking a bit too, but as some stream-goers have pointed out, I ignore the pain when I'm having fun, so that's nice.

I'M FEELING BETTER, and once this floor thing is situated I'm hoping to be active again. Keyword is hoping, if i keep getting dragged off I may need to have a word with the family.

...Thaaaats everything I think. Hope everyone's been having a good month so far! Apologies I've been out of it. Hopefully I'll fix that soon. ish.

I SPENT VALENTINES DAY BUILDING A FLOOR

--STREAMSDONE--

SPECIFICALLY TO THROW YOUR CLOTHES ON IT.

....ok not really BUT I intend to stream today. Still blurgh and sick, so not sure how well this will go, BUT I NEED TO DO

SOMETHING.JPG

So I've been meaning to stream for the past two, three days - or at the very least, work offline. Ain' happening. My apologies there, but it seems whenever I turn my back to try and stream, I get ill for a day or the family drags me off to work on something without letting me know ahead of time.

Hopefully it'll die down soon and I can.. do anything.

Unfortunately it felt like my internet was hemorrhaging all night. Seriously I never thought I'd see the day where my net is worse than my mothers. '-' So I wont stream today - Tomorrow, yes. I'ma try and get that sorted. Jus dun wanna risk the net exploding in my face at the moment.

Still gonna try doing some offline work! If there are any 20$ patrons who haven't sent me their request, feel free to do so at any time :o Might poke doing those tomorrow.

Something happened and I had to leave the house! Unfortunately I left the Stream Notice up. Apologies for that, will have to remember to take the time to fix that in the future.

A LITTLE BLUH TODAY, gonna try and redo one personal derp I failed to do last time, and then I wanna start work on some Patreon requests. We'll see how things go.

S'jus me today! No creaky british man will accompany me as he has affairs to take care of.

Next time I wake up at like, 7PM, someone shoot me.

Like seriously.

IT FEELS A LOT LIKE the Sunlight holds my motivation hostage. C'ause getting up in the dead of night is just like "...WELL SHIT" c'ause YOU'RE AWAKE... but you don't feel like being productive.

Like at all.

I FIXED IT TODAY I THINK. I got up at like 6AM for a change and am trying to crank stuff out and it feels so much better.

SO I'ma try and finish something I owe someone, and then work on commissions. If I can. Don't plan to stream for long, but we'll see

-STREM IS DONE-

Thank ya'll for coming in. <3 Sorry it wasn't as long as I'd have liked it. Did get some stuff done, even if it was a little.. eneehgnggh.

Apologies for the mild lull I'm apparently in. Life stuff happened! My home was besieged by the parents and we've been cleaning that up while I've been chipping away at stuff I owe people.

I'm about 3/5'ths done with a Still I owe someone who was a bro and chucked money at me when I needed it during the stream, and I've still got a small animation to whip out before I can really bunker down and start streaming to demolish what animation commissions I still have lurking around the corner.

That's the work stuff. IN TERMS OF LIFE STUFF, we apparently have rats now? Or something? I'm not sure. We found a mountain of rat shit in a Cabinet that my roomate has since cleaned out, but can't see a way for the blighters to get in. =n= Regardless we've kind of purified the Kitchen, so hopefully that wont be an issue in the immediate future.

Still need to clean my room and my roomates room, somehow. Maybe I'll get lucky and be able to throw away all of my clothes so I have room to breathe. Either way, we'll see how things go.

I always hate doing speech things, but whatever I feel like I should.

First up, THANK YOU. Each and every one of you, beautiful people. <3 I never expected Patreon to do... THIS well. Like it always seemed like one of those "too good to be true" scenarios, and I kept thinking it would backfire or terrible things would happen, but no ya'll have been a great bunch.

This puts me in a unique situation, where now, more than ever, I actually -HAVE- Time! Part of me wants to hunt every one of you down and invade your personal space to throw pixels at you. But the other part of me knows I could never get to everyone D: and there's stuff I would like to do with my own work that's tempting to try and poke. Even if I fail at it, again.

REGARDLESS, THERE ARE SOME THINGS I NEED TO TAKE CARE OF, primarily clearing out my commission lists. Once that's done, I'm hoping to try and come up with some stuff to do for people. After this month, I'll tweak the Patreon rewards and milestones some to better reflect how things have changed.

Either way, thank you all for the support. <3 It means a lot to me. Hope everyone has an enjoyable year, and by all means, feel free to message me wherever and I'll try and reply when I can.

Was kind of a code word for something.

The last stream I did - for the whole.. cable bill thing? - went ABSURDLY well. Like excessively well, and I love everyone who came in and took part, and who just came in and watched. <3 So I wanted to give back to the dudes who were watching, and to my Patrons and dudes who have thrown dosh at me to explore my own stuff.

So during the last stream I had mentioned I might be doing a Request Stream, where you can just.. come in and make a request and I do it. Bam, done. There's still some limitations, like Patrons getting first billing and what have you, but I felt like I wanted to do something for the d00ds who had helped me out over the years, so there's that.

I didn't want to make a fully public journal on FA, because I love you guys too, but even with the 5$ commission stream that started this, I had no hope of getting to everyone. and I kind of knew that if I did a request stream that publicly, I'd probably lose my mind. So I kept it to patreon and made a stupid journal with Gaston in it, since we had jokingly passed around the idea of using Gaston as a code-word to get in. Hoped some of the people who were in the previous stream might catch it.

THINGS WENT WELL, It's definitely something I would like to do more of in the future. I still had issues where I couldn't get to everyone, and I kind of felt bad for people coming late into the stream, but it was a nice Test. Test being the keyword. I have an idea of what I need to do now , to make things.. Fair'ish for the people making requests, so I'm hoping to make the next Request Stream more open and available to the public. Also planning to tweak the Patreon stuff a little, see what I can do there.

Apologies for the last journal kind of sounding like jibberish, I'll try and avoid doing that in the future.

THE GROOSE IS LOOSE

THE GASTON HAS PASTON

I can't think of anything clever to put here, but hopefully what I want to get through will be gotten through.

OK SO the Stream went really well.

...Like much better than I thought it would. I'm assuming that' because I'm a crazy homeless man and people like to throw money at me but whatever

MAD PROPS to everyone who came in and got a Still. Even if I was only to do, like, four of them in the 5 hours I was streaming. Ya'll are a treat. I'ma try and do something cool for the d00ds who I couldn't get in the future, so we'll see how that goes.

Now to go weep in a corner at the wealth that has been bestowed upon me. And upload the stills I finished stuff in a bit.

Maybe.

OK SO

First off mad thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday yesterday. <3 Made my morning, even though I didn't realize I'd be juggling skype hellos for an hour ~o~

IF YOU DIDN'T NOTICE, that's totally fine! I'm weird and secretive about my birthday because I'm afraid someone will gift me something and It'll be money, or expensive, and I can't use it, and I'll feel terrible, so I try not to mention it. Then I get real sad when no one notices and then someone has to remind me that I might have not put it in my skype profile yet.

WHOOPTH.

ON ANOTHER TOPIC, Apologies for the inactivity. My sister was kind of dumped on me recently, so I haven't really been able to use a computer properly. Just been lurching over my laptop after setting it on my bedside table, trying to hunch over and see everything and ugh. Let's just say my back and my hands do not appreciate that. (Especially me writey hand.)

I've just moved all my shit into the closet, after emptying it out, so I have room for a CHAIR. A DESK. THINGS THAT I HAVE TAKEN FOR GRANTED UNTIL THIS MOMENT. and I'll hopefully be doing some streaming tomorrow, assuming my hand stops having spikes of pain from trying to grip things.

So yeah. Just felt I should try and offer an update for anyone curious. Hope to be actually doing things in the near future.

So some of you might have noticed that I tend to hang up and not really stream as often as I would like. Some events transpired where a dear friend I never really see is available for me to talk with again :o And even play games with! So Apologies for that, need to try and focus more on my work.

Streams over! Dunno if I'll stream again tomorrow or not. We'll see when I get back from grams.

Not making this a Submission since I feel bad for leaving the previous streaming submission up yesterday and forgetting to take it down like a nerd.

EDIT: Stream called on account of grandparents.

Still it went well! Mad props to everyone who came in, and everyone on my patreon who made it possible for me to pay my bills this month. Woo.

Mom kidnapped me to help at her house for a bit =o= But I'll be back home sunday evening. Looking to try and do it on Monday then.

Apologies I haven't been the most active sort, but hopefully that will be rectified in the future. Hope ya'll have a great christmas, happy newyears, or whatever you happen to celebrate. Holidays in general? Iunno, just hope they're good.

Like. Should I just be moving them to my scraps instead? C'ause I feel bad if I'm deleting comments and stuff on them =o= even though they're just there to say 'EEEYYY I'M STREAMING'
