Hi I'm homeless! That's why I've been away so long! I only recently got my tablet set up for drawing again and I'm taking my art in a new direction while I cope with all the bad shit that's been happening!

I at least have somewhere to sleep that isn't a shelter. Happy Holidays! Stay safe and warm! More art eventually!

I've been wanting an easier way to post my art for a bit now. I like it here a lot and plan on staying of course, but bsky might become my second home in 2025. I want to try and post more art this coming year.

For privacy reasons I can't post a link to my bsky here, but I'm very open to being noted or dmed on discord for directions to said account!

What if everyone went to my tumblr and sent me anons of what they'd like to see me draw Berry doing?
Try it out! Maybe I'll draw it and post it here/on bsky!

We're out of money and I love drawing fat furries and cartoon characters with simple color backgrounds. So keep an eye out on that.

So despite the place we're living in being legitimate paradise, it's still kinda hard to keep up with bills while the place needs so much work done.

I'm thinking about potentially posting a YCH and asking for like $25 a pop? IDK what kindsa poses people would enjoy but I DO know that I'd want to play on my strengths. That being cute chubby girls, of course. I'm pretty good at cute chubby guys too, and would gladly also draw that... But cart ahead of the horse.

My concern is that I just plain don't have a big enough audience for the kinda money I'd need to really be of any help. And I only really have one watcher of mine who even comments on my journals. Sigh.

A positive vent! But a vent all the same.

Hello, to anyone who clicks. I hope you're well! I've been doing a lot better than my previous gloomy journal might suggest. We moved to Ohio, we got a puppy, we're growing a chicken farm, and are living our best lives. I haven't had any time to draw and frankly I'm happier for it.

But a life update isn't what I'm here for.

I've been experiencing a lot of lovely and hopeful new things. New beginnings, new experiences, new levels of happiness that I never thought possible. This brings me to the subject of my name. Due to a lot of factors... I no longer identify with the name I chose for myself. My system.

I (We) chose the name Vincent as a sort of embittered middle finger to the man who did not want me to be his son, but abused me when I was just his daughter. He used to be in punk bands and took the name Vincent as his stage pseudonym. And I thought to myself, what better name for me than a pseudonym he identifies with but is not legally his real name? A false first name for a false sonhood. But I'm not his son. I'm not his daughter either. I share blood and a face with him but we are two severely different people. And frankly, he doesn't deserve to have a son sharing even a pseudonym with him.

In light of my self discovery, as a system of mostly bigender individuals and a scattering of masculine exclusives, we all unanimously decided we needed a name change that was more neutral.

In high school I latched onto the name Jamie. I didn't know why. I loved it. I tried making characters with that name, but it never lasted. I didn't know. I had no idea.

We're Jamie. We didn't want to name an oc after that name because it is our name. It is my name. System-wide and eventually legally.

I'm Jamie. And I'm taking my husband's last name, because his mother and father love me like their kid too. They deserve me. I deserve them.

I've been feeling really low lately. For days now I can't seem to get myself feeling happy again, and nothing I always used to enjoy doing sounds like fun anymore.

I miss rping. I really really miss it. But all of my rp partners have grown out of their desire to write and/or have been so jaded by poor quality rp partners in the past that they just don't want to bother with it anymore. And it's gotten to a point where I myself feel like part of the problem. I miss rping. I miss being inspired by an rp hard enough that I draw whole sketch pages worth of hype art surrounding it.

I miss my passion. I hope it returns.

Are there any websites out there that're like Patreon but for nsfw art? I don't want to go through Patreon but I might consider somewhere else.

Also, how good is the shinies system here? Is it worth turning on?

We haven't finished settling in yet but it's fantastic here! I love it here. I'm the happiest I've ever been.

Activity has already fallen hard but it's going to be even worse for a while until I get into the groove of the new place we're moving to. And we haven't even finished packing yet! I'm so excited for the 15th ugh

Wish me and my family luck!

I only have a few followers who even semi-regularly interact with me, so I'm not expecting the turnout to be great. I'm also very intimidated by the idea of taking commissions again. Especially on a new platform with a whole new crowd of people with a whole different set of standards for quality. It's daunting.

But even still, we've fallen on hard times financially speaking. I'm going to need to make some money. I'm considering opening cute simplistic chibi commissions or something cartoony and easy for me to draw. I can't fathom accepting money for porn or something of a similar caliber without AMPLE compensation... But easy 10 buck squishy YCH's at 10 slots a pop? That doesn't sound so bad to me.

If I only had the audience haha

I wish it were possible to ask for drawing suggestions of my ocs. Who my watchers would like to see more of... the potential themes/situations they'd like to see me draw them in... It'd be nice. But I have no idea how to engage with this community tbh.

:D I'm 28 this year! Very happy to have made it this far.

I've all but stopped posting my art for some reason. I think this year I wanna get back into it and do more things that make me happy.

I hope you all had a nice new year and christmas celebration.

A story!

So I'm sure you've (my regular watchers I mean) noticed by now that a few of my ocs look pretty much the same design-wise. At least as far as hair goes lol.

There's a reason for that!

Berry was the first version of the character, but after a little trauma and a few friendships ended, I ended up scrapping him and recycling his design into Kai. But then I missed having a trans guy oc, so I made Paulmr. But then I missed having a pink skinned cute boy so I made the REMAKE of Berry.... But then Berry was undeveloped and pretty much just a brainless personality-less character design.

So I just brought back the old, previously retired, Berry that Kai and Paulmr were recycled character designs of.

And now I have three characters that share general hairstyles and designs... But are not the same people lol.

That's the story! The end! Thanks for reading! I love you!

Things are doing a lot better lately and I'm feeling a lot more stable/able to draw art now! I've gotten my top surgery and am coming up on 5 months recovered from it now. Is everything perfect? No not at all. Things are still miserable. But like... The slightly less bleak kind of miserable now. A manageable amount of miserable.

Nobody asked for a life update but it's time for another one.

I got a new tablet and it's wonderful, but my motivation to draw has tanked. I don't know what to do and I hate drawing for myself. It never feels as good as drawing from suggestions or drawing for my friends.

In other news, my cat passed away under a week ago and things have been... Pretty dreary lately.

My husband's physical condition has gotten worse as well and I've gone from quietly worried about him to feeling actively depressed for every day we don't seek medical attention that we can't afford.

I feel like the solid ground I was standing on is starting to crumble beneath me. I've been brushing shoulders with suicide ideation and I don't know what to do.

At least this journal feels like enough of an island that I can scream as loud as I want and not have to worry about anyone calling back with performative concern for a stranger's wellbeing.

My screen tablet and the computer I was using it on is having some technical problems atm. I'll get back to drawing and posting semi-regularly again eventually. I just gotta fix everything =_=;;

69 watchers \o/ at last

So I really like the look of those YCH's that have 5 or so slots open and are first come first serve? I might try to do those sometime...

Like I'd definitely make a solo few but I LOVE the thought of making one with Kai too?? I don't have nearly a big enough following to make money with the ones involving Kai but it still sounds like fun anyway... idk... I'll think about it.

I corrected the yellow-y saturation on my screen but it turns out most people don't fix the color calibration on their screens and my art has been this HORRIBLE sickly yellow filtered nightmare this whole time and nobody thought to ask me what I was doing. Maybe they thought it was intentional.

Needless to say, no, my art is NOT supposed to be a little bit yellow-y. I will be color correcting my work and updating things very soon.

Wow!!! I never thought I'd get this many so soon!
Thank you all SO SO much TTvTT

Here's my space filling journal for 2020.

I still accept commissions but I have no marketing skills and don't post enough to catch eyes.

I'm also not confident enough to accept commissions on this website in particular yet as I've heard it's both lucrative and a bit on the serious side, business wise, and I'm not sure if I can handle the pressure that a high maintenance, detail-oriented customer would put on me.

:(

updating or whatever.
I should really draw more things for this place but i've been so busy with back to back
icon commissions that i haven't been able to finish enough drawings to even post
lately! it's been hectic! i'll return to regularly scheduled artwork sooner or later.

as soon as i pull out of this depressive slump i'm gonna post so much art you guys. i have a backlog of sketches over several months and it's a gold mine of content

i just gotta get myself not sad enough to finish the work.
