Thank y'all for your time and interest! ❤️

Been considering switching usernames on here for a little bit 🤔

Not sure to what, though. I want my art-related pages to not have specific fandom associated names but I'm also super nervous about being that public with furry art for some reason so idk if I wanna use my Professional-Professional username? But that makes business weird, makes it harder for people to find me around the internet, etc etc

But y'know, just thoughts.

Hey y'all.

So, I like keeping cheery and chill on social media since I don't wanna bring anybody down, wanna seem like a good place to go for warmth and smiles and all that. But I just gotta get this out somewhere so please be patient with me for a minute.

Late last year, shortly after graduation, my health mysteriously started to decline. Neither doctor visits or frustrated at-home experimenting with "well what if it's this? let's try solutions for that and see how it goes" made much progress, and it got to a point where I couldn't safely leave the house and my entire life had to be put on hold. Combined with already not being able to do much due to freshly diagnosed (but not freshly a problem--three years running now) nerve damage in my leg, I was in a pretty low place.

Just a few months ago, though, a breakthrough was made. The good news is now I know what to do and how to handle this moving forward, the bad news is there's a strong chance it's straight up a chronic illness I'll never really recover from.

(I don't wanna make any public statements about the exact illness until I get a proper diagnosis, which is...expensive. So that could take a while.)

But that's kind of where my motivation for life and art has been for a long while. I'm sorry for being a cryptid in social and artistic spaces. But things are starting to look up now, so I hope that all changes very soon.

Thanks for your time, guys. ♥

Hello friends!

I don't like doing this, but mixups with dates and health insurance have put my bank account in the negatives so I uh, really need some funds to put in there.

My commission info is over here -> http://www.furaffinity.net/view/26167981/

And my Ko-Fi is over here if you feel so inclined -> https://ko-fi.com/monochrobot

Thank y'all for your time and attention ♥♥♥

Nothing can top turning 25 on the 25th like last year, so I guess I gotta be content with 26 on the 25th now.

But! Birthday! Hello, I'm older now!

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Not legal names, haha, just my online handle.

But I'd like to go by Gray from now on!

Long story short Gia's weird for multiple reasons, so I think a change was in order. I'll be slowly but steadily switching name stuff over, just figured I'd give everybody a heads up. ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

A merry and blessed solstice, my friends! May your homes be warm and your food n' friends bountiful.

2017 was a year of big changes for me. Graduating college on top of some life changing medical issues to name a few, and going into 2018 almost feels like I'm gonna be a completely different person. But the changes seem to be more good than bad, at least from my perspective, so hopefully the direction I'm going in is gonna make a person I like. Here's hoping. ♥

Thank you all for your support this past year. I hope your own journeys are going in a good direction as well. ♥♥♥♥♥

Figured it was time for a new journal, autumn cleaning etc yes hello hello

Getting prepared for next year artist alley-ing so I've been drawing my hands off and now I hurt! Ugh!! It's nothing huge, just enough to be annoying when I try to do much with my dominant hand. Like draw. (°ㅂ°╬)

I'm trying to give it a rest but y'all know how it is, you can't do what you like so you get bored. What do you do when you're bored? Draw. Can't draw. But wanna draw really bad. uuuuuggggghhhhhh

I'll be good, promise, just needed a sec to whine. How are you all doing? ♥

Hello hello friends!

Just like it says on the tin, I'm officially open for commissions now! All the stuff you need to know about it is right over here:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/24396549/

Also, I've got a Ko-Fi link now as well! If you can't afford or wouldn't like a commission but still want to support me, please consider giving it a look-see:
https://ko-fi.com/citriccircuits

Thank y'all for your support so far! ♥

That feeling when you're all hyped up to do something and everything's going and moving and gonna happen!!

And a wrench gets thrown right on in there.

Nothing bad's happened, it's basically just the pause button being hit. Life! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

While I'm here, I'd like to see if there's any interest for icons like these:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/23729770/

They're simple and fun and would be a good way to get back into the swing of commissions I think. Thoughts?

Graduated! Class of 2017!! Cap and gown and diploma and all that jazz!!!

Like I said there's stuff after this but right now I'm happy and tired so I'm just gonna rest and be happy.

Y'all rest and be happy as well. ♥

First, thanks to  fahlhe I have a Touhou.se account! I'll be putting up the link on my profile once it's a bit more fleshed out, but thank you to any others who offered to help me get an invite code. You're very kind. ♥

Second, next week are my finals which means graduation is right around the corner. This'll mean a number of things for me, including a few big lifestyle changes, but I won't get into too much of it here. What it means for art is that I'll finally have time again for things like commissions!

I'll be making something for my basic prices once that happens, but I've also wanted to try and make YCHs. What sort of themes interest you guys? General poses? Costumes? Star Wars? If anyone has suggestions or ideas, I'd love to hear them.

Thank you very much for your support so far! ♥♥♥

I'm thinking about looking into getting a Toyhou.se, if nothing else other than somewhere to yammer about my OCs.

Does anyone know where to start looking for invite codes? Some places said there are people who give them out but it feels weird going up to a stranger just to be all "hey gimmie this" y'know?

It is the year where I've turned 25 on the 25th

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Thank y'all for the support so far this year!

New year fresh start etc etc

Hello my name is Gia! I like drawing robots and animal people so I'll be doing that here.

♥♥♥
