Life and Commissions Updates
General | Posted 3 years agoHello, everyone
It's been quite awhile since my last appearance here, so I decided to post a journal about all of the things going on in my life right now.
Since February life has changed drastically for the reasons that you all know and have seen in the news (and quite possibly keep seeing now). A wild mix of feeling unsafe, unstable and never knowing what's gonna happen next week. I can't say things has gotten exactly better since then, yet maybe my mind just got "desensitized" to the chaos around or perhaps my newly prescribed antidepressants have taken some effect, but at least I managed to get myself to work somewhat okay lately. Still feel like a dog from the "this is fine." meme, although it is probably not as bad as it could be, considering the surroundings.
That said, I'm finishing up all the debts that have piled up. I haven't checked all the notes yet, but I will do so one by one as I'm getting the art projects done. I acknowledge that some of you have been waiting extremely long and I'm thankful to everyone for the trust and patience. I'm still a bit terrified about the final results since I can't judge my latest artworks from the outside and compare them somewhat objectively to previous ones, but I'm cautiously hopeful that I haven't lost the skill that I used to have. At least my perfectionism never went anywhere, though there are artworks that I've redone from 0 while being half way through.
A bunch of new artworks will be posted soon along with several older ones that I kept hidden to compensate the silence to all of the people following me here and on other platforms as well.
As for prints and merch, I had to deactivate my RedBubble for now since I can't get paid from there in any way and I'm confident we are not getting back any time soon.
Thank you all for spending these couple of minutes with my ramblings.
I hope things are better or somewhat manageable on your sides! <3
p.s. Is FurAffinity still planning to add the "change nickname" feature???

General | Posted 6 years ago» Types of Commissions
— Full-body
A realistic painting with a special attention to details, colored and shaded, with any kind of a background. Price depends on the number of characters, the complexity of their designs and that of the background.
