My friend is having Art Raffle right now, don't miss it! https://www.furaffinity.net/view/62460756/

Text on Patreon for convenience — https://www.patreon.com/posts/dnipr.....nder-134974719

Hello! I see that FA is still not working to its full potential, so I can't start posting new comic pages here yet. But I want to remind you that they are published earlier on my Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/carota17) and Telegram channel (https://t.me/dareedorcomics).
You can also find my other links here - https://carota17.carrd.co/ 🧡

Just look at this beauty, what  EnayaRay's doing - https://www.furaffinity.net/view/60423784/

Just as you get used to life with some more or less understandable missile arrivals (I've already forgotten what peaceful life is), like where it's coming from, what kind of explosion will be heard, will you make it to shelter or not, today these freaks gave us a new variety with the launch of some new intercontinental ballistic missile RS-26 Rubezh. I've never heard such explosions before, it really shook me a lot, considering that it was somewhere in the area where my house is located. And then these freaks after a while launched missiles from Tu-95s over our city, which was also unexpected, because the missile approach maneuver was, well, maximally fucked up (as you can see from this map (orange) https://t.me/hyevuy_dnepr/78750) and usually they flew west, not towards us. My day is ruined, as is my mood, I'm tired and angry.
And yes, power outages are returning, a classic of our everyday life.
The sounds of the explosions we heard — https://t.me/ny_i_dnipro/39509
How it looked on the cameras — https://t.me/dneproperatyv/117158 and https://t.me/hyevuy_dnepr/78743

Firstly, I'm like shit today because of the morning shelling, I went to bed only at 10 am and went to bed until 5 pm. We heard two explosions, I was in the shelter at the time. And perhaps in the near future it will not be all about the shelling...

Secondly, I understand that you are most likely waiting for my illustrations, and not comic pages, but I will continue to post them after the comic (and you can see new works as always on Patreon). When the pages that can be shown will end. Sorry for such a little spam.
I see many have started to unsubscribe from me, but I think it's for the best? My creativity is not limited to drawing only anthro, and no matter how you twist it, I will always have chaos here from anthro, ferals and humanoids. I think those who have been following my work for a long time and are really interested in it, have already noticed this.

Thanks for understanding ✨

Just letting you know that I'm still alive. Today we have a whole day of air alarm and I am in a terrible state. I didn't get enough sleep, I'm in a bad mood. Missiles and ballistics were directed at my city 4 times, and most of my day was spent in bed and in the corridor. -.-

I'm not sure yet if it makes sense to post my comic here, especially since it's not with anthro characters, but humanoid ones. And I see from the statistics of my drawings that humanoid ones are generally in low demand. (I'm not even talking about its cover which only has 13 favs) So I don't know if you need it? Since I mainly publish it on Telegram in Ukrainian and English and so far I see more interest in it from my fellow countrymen. Maybe no one is on Telegram?
It is also on Patreon, but I post pages there before Telegram.

As soon as I started this platform, questions about its capabilities arise again. Today I started seeing posts like this about Ukrainian authors — https://x.com/so_fonn/status/1819387112598249928
And now I have questions about whether it is worth accepting money there and further.
So, if you want to donate to me, you can do it through Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/carota17), simply by subscribing for any amount and then unsubscribing. (In general, Patreon is my most priority platform for donations)

This is just a cry of the soul for the recent weeks that have been happening in the country.
We have no light for 17-20 hours, and in some cases even for several days. Because of this, many people are unable to turn on the air conditioner at home and simply suffer from the heat. We have terrible heat. Only grocery stores are worse, they too are no longer able to keep the generators running normally for whole days and because of this, many products simply spoil, because there is no normal cooling. The same generally applies to refrigerators at home, where there is not even a generator.
The connection sometimes drops, I have almost no Internet on my computer. Only sometimes he appears and I go to post something.
I don't know how to work in such conditions.
I don't know how to find customers here either. I don't have any orders right now, and I don't have any money either. And under such conditions as described above, it generally turns into some sort of continuous survival, not life.
And I haven't mentioned again for shelling, which no one canceled either... And they were and most likely still will be.
AAAAAAAAAAA
I hate our neighboring country with all my heart. Why do we have to tolerate it and adapt to such a life because of them? Argh.

I haven't made similar posts for a long time, but in recent weeks it has become very loud again in my city of Dnipro.
On June 28, a high-rise building was hit, as far as I remember, three people died — https://t.me/ny_i_dnipro/30896
On June 29, I was getting on the train to go to my military husband in the West. To a quieter part of the country. But during the day there were rocket attacks on the Zaporozhye region (https://t.me/novinach/47871), where people also died and there was a problem with the electricity supply. My train was supposed to leave from that area and it was delayed for 2 hours.
For some time, drones flew again in my city, but they steadily fly in our city at night and ours shoot them down as best they can.
On July 3, I was not in the city yet, but around 9 in the morning there were shelling again. My mother counted 13 explosions, and she was very scared, because it went off 2.5 - 3 km from the house. There were also injured and dead — https://t.me/hyevuy_dnepr/72883 (Video of the shelling)
July 7. I was on my feet from the train since 7 in the morning. I came home. Usually my regime was to go to bed at 6 in the morning (due to the fact that something often happens at night and I monitor the news while my parents are sleeping) and get up at one o'clock in the afternoon, but because of the trip I got up early and went to bed early. So I was going to sleep at one o'clock in the morning, but I just went to bed when I had to go to the shelter due to the departure of Tu-95 planes. Fortunately, there was no shelling, but I just desperately wanted to sleep. And today, I didn't manage to sleep properly.
On July 8, that is, already this morning at 10 o'clock, my mother woke me up to run into the corridor, because rockets were flying again. I counted 6 explosions, and I did not hear 7, was somewhere outside the city in the region. It was very loud and scary. 1 dead and 6 injured (last I saw on the news for a moment).
At the same time, not only my city was attacked, but also Kyiv. The entrance of a high-rise building was destroyed, a children's hospital was damaged, many were killed. There are a lot of consequences after the rockets, for which I think the people of Kyiv will tell you better.
Kryvyi Rih was also affected, with 10 dead and 31 wounded (for a moment, that was the last thing I saw on the news).

⚡Also, I want to remind you that in addition to the shelling, we suffer from the lack of electricity. For a couple of months (probably?), the whole country, all the cities, have been living according to a schedule in which there can be no electricity for half a day. We would like to work faster, to show you our creativity more often, but we simply cannot. Everything that was done in a day can now be done in weeks. So your kind support is important to us 🧡

I also want to thank my regular Patreon followers (you guys are the best! 🧡🧡🧡) for still supporting me because I'm tired. I don't have time to do everything planned. Even against such a not very positive background, I really want to pay more attention to my projects, to finally do something of my own, while I can do it at least somehow, and thereby keep my mental state in a more positive direction. Make a comic and a book about my world and characters. That's why lately I don't remind about commissions, I don't make new YCH, and I don't remind about myself, because it also steals my time and nerves when I see something that no one needs. In the month of June, I earned only 80$, and that was thanks to the Ukrainians. And I'm a freelancer, drawing and commissions from you is the only thing I live on.
Also, I will probably now limit the orders (if anyone is interested in them) to the sketch level. Again, I don't have the strength and time to draw full-fledged illustrations in the background of my projects + with these attacks, I'm very nervous to drag something for a long time to someone.

Thank you for your understanding and for reading this at all 🧡

Tonight there were shellings on the Dnipro energy sector again. And in the morning there was one explosion. My sleep pattern has gone off the rails again.
I remember about the orders, I now have one big which I’m trying to finish before the end of the month. All the rest will be done after it. I'm just a little behind on the schedule I planned. х.х
By the way, I bought a battery, thank you very much for your support! 🧡

Shelling again began to fall on the Dnipropetrovsk region, including my city of Dnipro. On the morning of the 18th, there were 4 explosions, I woke up to the sound of the second. And it was quite disturbing all day. Already on the morning of the 19th, much more ballistics and drones were thrown at us. It was very loud, unfortunately not without casualties.
There are hits in the center of the city at the station square (25 injured and 1 dead), at the city station (7 railway workers were injured, the locomotive crew member on duty at the locomotive brigade building was killed) and the bus station (1 person at the service station was killed).

6 people died in Synelniky district, including 6- and 8-year-old children. 2 more people were injured.

There are also victims in Kryvyi Rih.
In Pavlohrad, one of the enterprises was damaged.

Today there was another massive attack on Ukraine. The light has gone out in most areas, I don't have it either. Therefore, it is not convenient for me to write the details of the destruction and the injured, because I am on the phone. It was loud in my city, even louder in Kharkiv and Zaporizhzhia.

This evening we had another barrage of ballistics, missiles and drones. I heard at least 3 explosions, and the whistle of a rocket above the house. This sound always makes me terrified. They say that if you hear a whistle, it's not flying at you, but who knows how far it flies? What if the air defense accidentally shoots down over the house? These thoughts haunt me while whistling. I feel very bad

Hello!
Today is exactly two years since the war in my country, and I wanted to share with other Ukrainian artists my memories of the first day.
I remember it was around 5 am and I was sleeping. Not far from my house, trains pass by, which are clearly audible, and sometimes their vibration is very felt throughout the house, like an earthquake. But that morning, through a dream, I heard something strong fall. My head was still a mess and for some reason I attributed this sound to a train. But after the second blow, I jumped out of bed, finally realizing that it wasn’t a train, because trains don’t make such sounds at all. Approaching the window, I saw some flashes of light in the sky (it was still dark outside at that time) and, frightened, began to wake up my parents. We turned on the TV and began to notice a general panic that this was happening not only in my city, that this was something abnormal. We understood that the war had begun, because rumors about its beginning had already circulated for a long time before the start. That morning I was terribly sick with nerves, I could barely sleep, I didn’t know what to think. In fact, I completely forgot how my day went later. It was just panic and a huge lack of understanding whether to leave the city or not yet. The news channels were filled with something scary, a lot of uncensored murder. Subsequently, the whole month passed on needles.
Also, my husband, as soon as he heard about what happened in my city, immediately went to the enlistment office to go to the front. I was incredibly nervous and afraid for him. Once he disappeared for a whole week, there was no contact, and I no longer knew what to think. But fortunately for me, he was alive and he is still in the Ukrainian Armed Forces. For 2 years I have not been able to start living with him; I constantly have to catch him in different cities and places when he is not at the front.

As for the news for the 23rd (yesterday), we had another drone attack. I didn’t have the strength to write about it right away, so I’m writing now. In one of the city districts, in the same yard, more than 3 of my relatives on my father’s side live. And a drone hit one of the houses. This is a 9-story building, the top two floors collapsed. I was incredibly shocked, I would never have thought that it would be so close to my relatives. To my sister. Fortunately, she and everyone else are alive, but they were not allowed home all day there was an emergency — clearing out the rubble.There are injuries and two dead for sure.

I just want this to end someday. So that this does not become the norm in my life, where we are constantly at risk of shelling and can lose loved ones.

This year, I am not verbose, so I just congratulate myself, and thank you all for the congratulations! 🧡

All with the beginning the morning. Not a happy morning.
Today, from night to this hour, as I write this bunch of text, we have anxiety and mass shelling of the country.
Kharkiv - 22 arrivals, dead and injured.
Odesa, Lviv - fell into residential buildings. (https://t.me/dneproperatyv/83256 , https://t.me/nu_i_novyny/36573)
Kyiv - fires in houses from missile fragments and injured. 7 dead
Zaporizhzhia - 7 dead https://t.me/dneproperatyv/83272
Perhaps some other cities and areas that I lost sight of, I do not have time to follow the information... I want to sleep and I'm tired.
And my city, my pain — Dnipro. Got into a shopping center 3 km from my house, there are victims and dead (5). Nearby is still a maternity hospital, who was hooked too, a fire.

I just hate. I HATE.

UPD. 17:44
Number of victims - https://t.me/novinach/43006

For the second day in a row, I woke up running into the corridor because of explosions. I feel like just an exhausted amoeba.
When will these freaks go to hell?

I also remind you for orders and open ych. My queue is currently empty, if don’t take into account plans for my characters and illustrations with them.

I now have postcards with my illustrations on sale. If you want to buy it, you can do it on Etsy - https://www.etsy.com/shop/Carota17?.....on_id=45578509

Look at this job handrosaur did for me, it’s simply incredible - https://www.furaffinity.net/view/53707355/ ! I’m surprised why the author has so few subscribers, so I want you to not pass by either. She has orders open now!

As for me, I again threw off my sleep schedule through trips to the shelter in the morning and on top of that I got sick. I don’t have any orders, so I continue to sit and draw for myself as best I can.

Sorry, at the moment I don't have the energy or ideas to make new YCHs, especially their reminders, if you expect new ones. But I always have commissions open, and you can come in private messages with your ideas, pose, character, etc. and support me in this way.
I've been gripped by a terrible demoralization of doing nothing this week, due to the heat and nighttime shelling that broke my sleep schedule. I'm plain tired.

4 explosions. 4 very, very loud explosions. Hour ago. There are hits and victims. All I can say is because I don't have the strength to write anything else
UPD: They hit the territory of the bus station, 10 injured. https://t.me/ny_i_dnipro/12803

I just woke up with a broken sleep schedule and I'm not very good.
I don't know how many people know that we have monitoring channels about missile launches and other things... But in general they are. And sometimes they write to us about the departure of the Tu-95, from which danger can be expected somewhere else in 3 hours.
My area is not the safest, there is a lot of all sorts of military stuff, which they willingly aim at. After the incident on 26.05.23 (https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10561866), we began to drive to the shelter, we take a car at night and drive away from this area to a house with a basement shelter. So that night we heard 4 strong explosions. At the other end of my street, where I live, there were arrivals again. Our street was blocked for traffic in the morning, and now the police are standing there checking all the passers-by. There was a strong fire, just the most important location was hooked, and next to it was the pool (https://youtu.be/LZORvGvL3EU). I do not know how people live in that part, because in so much time, since the beginning of the war, this is 4 times when rockets arrive there.
There are also hits in Lviv (15 affected, for sure, got into residential areas and the yard of the kindergarten) and Lutsk (3 dead and 3 injured).
I no longer have the strength to show how much I hate it all.

Crazy week.

Firstly, the terrible heat and my health were simply killing me.

Secondly. I had a problem with computer freezes for a long time, mainly when I listened to Spotify. I decided to take my computer in for repair. The master found a problem in the ssd drive, it began to fall apart, and it was replaced. Then my second monitor adapter died, and I sat without it for 3 days until a new one was sent. Today, I got new 2 sticks of RAM, and also not without problems. And you know what in the end? The freezing issue hasn't gone away. But, after restarting the computer from freezing, it became even more "fun". My old favorite keyboard died (it was 18 years old and still from Microsoft), and at the moment I write this bunch of text through the screen. I don’t understand how it works when everything starts to break at one moment. I'm tired. I want to work, but because of this I can't. тОт
+ all the files with saving the work by layers are broken... To say that I'm sobbing is to say nothing, I don't know how I will continue the series of works on "Spectrum" now. All repeated elements on the background were stored in them.
