Not really sure what to put here, all the info I needed to convey is in the title lol

Hey all, Pandora Scott here!

It's been a while since I've opened traditional commissions, hasn't it? It's just been YCH's recently. But I'm finally opening again!

I have a few rules for this batch:

1) They must be winter holiday-themed (Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, etc). If it's something other than Thanksgiving or Christmas, please let me know the details on your holiday so I can get them right.

2) I would *prefer* to do Complex Shading drawings, but I won't *require* it.

3) No Telegram stickers this time.

4) Slots will be open until I meet my financial goal.

To claim a slot:
Read my Terms of Service
Head to the commissions page of my website.
Click/tap on the style you want (Toony or Normal), and click/tap "Order ___ Commission"[/s]

I have to pause Youthful Bliss for the time being because I've been falling behind in everything else. Homework gets pushed back until the last minute, other drawing obligations don't get done, my bank account's dangerously low... I gotta get everything else caught up and fixed, otherwise I won't be able to work on *anything.*

Also, I'm going back to once a week on Youthful Bliss. Until I can pay *all* of my monthly expenses from Patreon, I don't have a choice. I'll still need to take commissions each month, and I just can't juggle everything if I have to pump out two pages of YB a week. I tried to do twice a week, and I *want* to keep doing it, but I *can't.*

I have sent notes to everyone who won a slot in the Trick or Treat YCH auction!

It's 1am here, though, I'm gonna go to bed =w= I'll continue talking tomorrow (technically, later today)!

I've made it to my $1200 goal on Patreon! I honestly cannot believe I've made it there, that goal seemed like a pipe dream when I made my Patreon. Thank you guys, so, so much. (I'll also update the names in this journal soon, I promise).

Youthful Bliss will take a break this week while I make the next batch of pages (I make a month's worth of pages at once). But, starting NEXT week, there will be a new page of Youthful Bliss every Monday AND Friday!

So they're already up for my Patrons right now, but pages 53 and 54 will have trigger warnings in front of them. They deal with bullying and parental abuse. So if that's something you can't/shouldn't see, you should probably skip those pages.

Let me know if you do, though. These pages will be pretty important to the overall story, so I want to make sure you're not missing them.

That change is in effect today! $5 Patrons now stay one page ahead on Youthful Bliss, and $10 Patrons stay two pages ahead!

Since Page 49 just went up on FA and my site, $5+ Patrons can see Page 50, and $10+ Patrons can see Pages 50 and 51!

I'm going to need a lot of support when I start college next week! If you'd like to help out and get more pages of Youthful Bliss (if I reach $1200, I'll upload AT LEAST twice a week!), please consider checking out my Patreon!

I'm changing the Blankie ($5) and Paci ($10) tiers on my Patreon this week!

$5 Patrons will stay one page ahead on Youthful Bliss (this is what the current $10 tier is)

$10 Patrons will stay two pages ahead on Youthful Bliss.

If you'd like to help keep me and my kitty fed while I'm in college, please consider checking out my Patreon. If I can get to $1200 a month, I'll be able to upload AT LEAST two pages of Youthful Bliss each week! I'll also consider opening a few more $20 (Telegram sticker) slots!

Hey guys! I recently had some unexpected vet bills for my cat Haru (if you follow me on Twitter @ PandorasArtbox, you're already very familiar with him lol). I'm also going to Megaplex this weekend (which really snuck up on me this year). So I need to take some more YCH's! If you'd like to be in either of my YCH's (at the moment), please head to www.babypandora.com/ych

I'm streaming Kammy and Viken's animation at:

I actually got my name as a domain and everything! :D

I made a website to handle all my business-related stuff. You can read Youthful Bliss, view drawings, and order commissions on it (when they're open)! And yes, I have listed my new Toony-style commission prices! Hopefully it's a little more budget-friendly for people who've had reservations about my normal prices. Check it out!

There'll be another update to my commission pricing soon. I've noticed that my style has evolved into something that takes up more and more time with each drawing. Take my most recent commission for example, this is the most detailed I feel that I've ever gone on anatomy. And I really like how it looks, it's something that I wouldn't have been able to do even 6 months ago. But all that extra detail takes more and more time.

So as a way to combat this issue while also not sacrificing the style, I'm going to start offering more toony-style drawings in addition to my normal style. Sorta like how my Telegram stickers look. These will take less time to make, and *they will be cheaper as a result*. I haven't worked out the exact prices, yet, but they'll definitely a better alternative for those who can't afford/don't want to pay my current prices.

I'll keep you updated

I'm looking to get SRS in the next couple years. It has to be before I turn 26 (I just turned 23 this month), because my dad's insurance will apparently cover 80% of the surgery. Once I turn 26, I won't be able to do it.

I just want to provide a list to Aetna and see who is and isn't covered by them.

Yeah, you're probably sick of seeing this by now, but I've just enabled Shinies.

If you like my work and want to keep my belly filled and apartment cool in the GA sun, then donations are greatly appreciated! But you don't have to, I don't want to become reliant on fluctuating donations (my income's unstable enough as it is lol)

I haven't updated my price sheet yet, but I have increased the price of my stickers due to the insane demand for them.

New prices are:
$15 for single character,
$18 for two characters
(Max of two characters)

The "Must get 3-10 stickers" rule still applies.

ALSO, I am only taking UP TO TWO sets of sticker commissions any time I open now. I had to make well over 70 stickers (Patreon rewards included) in March, and it drained me. I had absolutely no motivation to draw by the end of it, which is kind of a problem when that's my only job.

I'm live now for Patrons pledging $10 or more! I'm working on pages of Youthful Bliss on stream for the first time!

Just a heads up that I'll be taking more spots for Youthful Bliss cameos soon! Within the next couple days.

I'll let you know when!

I'm opening a few commission slots tomorrow. I feel bad taking more before I've worked down my queue, but due to several circumstances unfortunately overlapping each other, I'm not in a good place financially.

A couple things different about this batch:

>Illustrations only (no stickers this time, sorry)
>Only opening 3 slots (maybe four, depending on how much I get)
>No Patron discounts this time. I'm really sorry, but I'm in a tough spot right now. Between car insurance this week, TFF, and a bunch of other things, I need to get my bank account back up.

To claim a slot:
Read my Terms of Service
Check my prices
Fill out a commissions request form[/s]

I have to raise sticker prices so I can comfortably pay my bills, but I need to know what price would work for you guys.

So if you have any interest in my Telegram stickers, whether or not you've ever gotten any, please take this poll:

*I am not taking complex shaded drawings or animations this time.

To claim a slot:
Read my Terms of Service
Check my prices
Fill out a commissions request form

My wonderful Patrons on Patreon get early notifications of when I'll open for commissions, and get discounts! And as of typing this, I have a $50 tier slot open, which will get you a flat color drawing or animated icon each month, along with rewards from lower tiers, such as access to a Telegram chat and Patron-exclusive livestreams! If you're interested, please consider checking out my Patreon: www.patreon.com/babypandora

I'm not taking any more currently! I will need more again, though, so don't worry if you missed your chance!

Okay, first, an update for those who've already bought cameo slots!

I know it's been a long time since you've bought the slots. But now that I'm doing art full time, I can work on Youthful Bliss even more!* I promise your cameos are coming up. In fact, two extras are being drawn right now and will be in Pages 25 and 26. Those of you who are going to be daycare attendees/workers, your part will probably come in the 30's and will stick around for a while.

I'm sorry it's taken so long for this update, I really don't have an excuse.

---

Do YOU want to be in Youthful Bliss, too?

I'm now taking slots to be featured as extras in Youthful Bliss! These are quick cameos, sometimes a speaking role. Even if you don't get a speaking role, I'll still make sure your sona's design is represented correctly. (I do not have any more recurring roles available at the moment)

REMEMBER: You're offering to be "actors" in the comic. Meaning you'll fill the role of someone you *may* not necessarily be in a normal commission. (Job, personality, etc). For example, Pandora was a pizza delivery girl in Shine.

It'll be $40 per character, per page that you want to be in, max of 3 pages at once. And I'm sorry, but Patreon discounts won't apply here (my car needs a lot of stuff, I'm sorry ;w;)

If you want to be an extra:
> Send me a Note with "<Your username> Comic Cameo" in the subject bar (I will not respond to <No subject> or "Hi" notes)
> How many pages you want to be in (max 3 at once)
> Character ref(s)
> Would you rather be an "adult" or a "cub"? (In an RP sense)
> Your PayPal address
> Any additional comments or questions

Thank you all for reading and supporting Youthful Bliss!

*If you want to see more pages of Youthful Bliss, please consider checking out my Patreon! The more pledges I receive, the fewer commissions I'll have to take each month, meaning I'll have more time to work on the comic! Thank you!

I wanna start this off by saying that I'm not trying to guilt anyone into doing anything.

I'm finally swallowing my pride and asking for more help on Patreon. I've just started my own car insurance policy for reasons too long to get into now, and it's twice as much as it was when I was on my dad's policy (despite that I've been driving for over six years now and don't have a single accident on record). It's driving my anxiety through the roof, I've relied on NyQuil to get me to sleep the past few nights.

I don't want to have to get another part-time job after having taken a massive commitment to my higher-pledging Patrons. It'll leave me with no time for anything BUT their rewards. No Youthful Bliss, no animations, commissions, or any fun stuff for me. And there's so much I want to do in my free time. I want to start my own non-furry, non-ABDL comic from an idea I've been working on for about seven years. I'm working on my own game and having an absolute BLAST with it (I've never had a new hobby ever in my life, and it's exhilarating)!

Again, I'm not trying to guilt anyone into pledging. I'm just finally swallowing my pride and asking for help from those who can and want to give it.

Thank you for reading ❤
