Leaving again
Posted 8 months agoThat was a nice... what... few days? A week? Anyways... I keep getting contradicting answers but overal my gallery is slowly going to be removed from mods so I will be doing it myself today. I will be removing all submissions from this profile.
I encourage folks if they want to continue following me do so on either bluesky, telegram channel, or discord. All links to my social media are found on the home page of my website

I want to find a new furry site to post on, but this isn't it.

Back... ?
Posted 8 months agoIdk, some say things have changed here so we guess we are willing to give it a try.
We're NOT going to be uploading all the stuff we've made since leaving, we may select a few favs and upload them but think we are just going to pick up from where we are now instead. Because that's a lot of backlog.
We hope everyone is doing okay!
Leave a comment to show me how many folks are still active. Where to find me reminder!
Posted 11 months agoI'm no longer posting my gallery here for the foreseeable future.
You can still find me active though!
My Website has a link to all other sites to find me on the homepage. I will be removing Twitter and Fur Affinity from this list soon.
https://www.cosmicaquarium.ca/
I recommend my Telegram Channel for consistent updates. It's not a group, it's a channel so only the important posts and not another group chat to keep up with.
Though Telegram Group is an option if you are feeling social.
Currently open for commissions as I'm saving for rent and traveling to see my loved ones for a bit this holiday season.

Other places to find me (BabyFur Ban)
Posted a year agoYou can find every social media I post under linked on the home page of my website.
https://www.cosmicaquarium.ca/
Twitter, Telegram Channel and Group, and BlueSky
Telegram Channel or personal site is best for gallery right now.
I don't like Twitter but I use it as thats where most my sales come from, hoping eventually BlueSky takes over that.
I want to add toyhouse to the list but I'm unsure how to use it??
You can also subscribe directly through my site to continue supporting what I do.
I don't have a Substar or anything, it's directly through my own site since I don't trust sites to not pull the rug from underneath me like Patreon and KoFi already have. Mid Summer Update!
Posted a year agoMID SUMMER LIFE UPDATE
Whew, It's been a hell of a summer already and we are only half way through! Thank you all for your patience and for sticking by our side still ❤️ We haven't given a proper update in a while but we're also struggling to find what to talk about. We took a 2 week vacation at the beginning of July. It served as a birthday and mental health trip because, oh boy, did we really need it. It was very fun spending time with our little panda bear. Got to go on fun adventures, try new food (even some that my poop blue! >///<''), watch inside out 2, play fun games, have fun drinks and good times. And overall just relax and let the brain shut down for a bit. We don't let our self hit the pause button often when it comes to work. We have come back feeling at least a little creatively refreshed, though we gotta be honest the burnout is real. Finding balance between CK work, Commissions, life, and self care truly has been a struggle. You should see what our daily organizer looks like its absolutely mad with how much stuff goes on in our day to day. Getting to physically write helps me remember and checking off the box makes my tail wag 🥰 If you have any tricks on work/life balance, or self care tips please share~!
Coming out to be social again after being so mentally drained for years (and still kinda am), is proving challenging. We recently have been taking out health a little more seriously so that means more doctors trips, which is more time away from the desk. Also going for an eye exam on Wednesday so wish us luck! 🤓 It'll be fun to see where our eyes are at and if/what glasses we'll end up with. It'll be a busy day that day because we will also be packing up the apartment basically and pushing all furniture to the middle of the room. Why you ask? It's that time of the year for roach treatment again. They come in Thursday morning to treat the apartment and we gotta be outta the house with the cats for 6hrs. So doing all the moving packing after my eye exam and mentally preparing for that.
If anyone's keeping up, our Papa's house has some bidders and looks like he might finally be moving soon. Hope he finds a house he super duper loves out East cause thats where he's looking. He found a few before but had to let them go since his house didn't sell yet. We'll be sad to lose what we know as our familys home, but we know it's important for everyone to close the chapter and move on. We just hope whoever gets our old house takes care of our Nana's garden. She put her heart and soul and many many years into that garden. We miss her everyday. 💔🥺
Other random life events include recently going back for my Food Safety Certificate, and we should be going for our Smart Serve certificate once we have enough money for it. Basically we're looking into being a waitress or bartender as a part time position to fill in the money gap I find myself in every month. We want to take it until CK (CrinkleKit.com) is more stable and profitable, or my art commissions are. Or both? I've also been thinking of raising my commission prices? You can look over my current prices here. (https://www.cosmicaquarium.ca/custom-art.html) Leave me a comment to tell me about how you would feel with a raise in commission prices?
Think thats it with main life updates. Thankies if you took the time to read everything.
TLDR: Life busy. Took birthday vaca. Fun! Creative again kinda. Might wear glasses soon? Bugs are back. Family house might sell soon, saying goodbye is hard. Getting 3rd job maybe. Possible raise in commission prices?
Question Points
Q1: Tips and Tricks for Work/Life Balance or self care?
Q2: Do we raise our commission prices?
Bonus 1: What are you most grateful for so far this year? o: Tell your friends!
Posted a year agoI'm bad at journal titles I'm very sorry aha
Just a quick reminder/update.
First, we can't thank you all enough for all the love and support you've given us since we've been back. Y'all are truly super kind and sweet. Hugs for everyone who wants one!
Second, and we know we sound like a bit of a broken record with this but we're $350 USD short on bills still.
We need it before the end of the month so we can cover rent and phone. Please consider getting a YCH or a custom commission! It would help us out a lot!
I would link things but it should all be linked in my footer now of all my journals and posts. Hoping this is handy for anyone who stumbles onto anything of mine and wants to inquire about art.
And last, just a quick reminder that we are streaming this Sunday at 830pm EST! We will make another post about it the day of.
In-stream art is available for grabs! I have 4 open slots available for in-stream art. Please DM if interested!
Hope you all have a fantastic weekend! Thankies for reading! Small Update! Need Help!
Posted a year agoHiya everyone!
TLDR: Life is stress, but art is steady! We need $645 by the end of the week for please help.
Just wanted to touch base with everyone and give small update. Going through a lot of stress. Stress point one still with our Nana's sudden passing a few months ago. It's hard patching up the old family home to put back on the market. Our Papa is downsizing, he doesn't want to be in the house she died in anymore and can't afford to keep it anyways. It's hard on all of us. He has been opening up to us about how he feels like he has failed her. Trying to be strong for us both.
Stress point two, always being in financial crisis. we are living at the bottom of our overdraft, our credit cards are maxed out, and we barely make enough from commissions to put food in the fridge and keep the roof over our head. We hate begging for commissions, it's not something we enjoy doing. And always feeling in a rush to get commissions out to have a fast turn around time doesnt leave us a lot of time to focus and build our style. Something we really want to work on soon. Feel like my style is just a mix of everything we've every learned from every art teacher or tutor from tutorials we've watched but nothing solid that screams "Cosmic Aquarium" art style. Bleh.
And the last bit of stress is the weight I've put on from all of this stress. We gained 20lbs in a two week span. We're working hard at bringing us back down to our regular weight. We aren't happy with where our body is right now it's adding more stress. Honestly we don't mind being a bit bigger but we can't afford new clothes so it's something we really need to work on.
We really need to make another $645 by the end of the week.
Our queue is almost empty too! Please consider getting some art from us.
Our turn around time is 1 - 4 weeks depending on the size of the project.
CLICK TO ORDER
Think that's about it? Toronto Pride is happening next weekend and we're really looking forward to it. Haven't done anything fun in over a month.
Hope everyone is doing okay! Thank you for reading!
Since it's Tuesday here: What are you looking forward to this summer? Need Help! Commissions Open!

Hiya Friends!
Posted a year agoHiya Friends!
Thank you for having us back, or welcome to our page for the first time. A lot of you know me as Tiny. We go by many names. You can call us what you're comfortable with. We have been able to focus on art again for the past year, and hope to share with more of the community being back here. Every social media feels like it's falling apart. We don't know where to really be because of that, so some how trying to keep up with everywhere? As always Telegram takes top priority right now and has most of our gallery, and so does our website. Will slowly upload here again but just going to upload our favs from each month and not everything I've done to keep it a little more cleaned up for now.
Thank you for checking out our page and taking the time to read this!
