To my current commissioners: finally I'm returning to my regular schedule this week, so new samples will be delivered on the next days.

Aside that, I'm cooking a new adoptable OC. Any bets for what it is this time? 👀

Just a heads-up for my absence around here: For now I don't have any new art to post, but there's a handful in the works.

Most of them are commissions, but they're a bit delayed since I practically lost 10 days of work in February. 7 for being sick from food poisoning, and 3 from random energy blackouts in my area.

I also need to finish an extra project outside the fandom until this friday 10th, so I'll finally get back to regular commission work on day 13th. Until things change, I'm not taking any new commissions yet.

On a side note, I'd like to address that user  lorian-dragon is asking for donations due to financial issues. He also offer commissions in case anyone is interested.

So, I recently got plenty of notes, mostly about commissions.

I apologize for the delay on replying most of them, but I'd say I'm not taking new commissions yet. For now I'm focused only on the curent ones in my WIP list.

Heads-up: I may release a new auction in the next 5 hours (or less). Stay tuned!

Just bringing updated info about my current commission schedule: at the moment I'm prioritizing the last artwork in advanced stage (for  steelestallion), just requiring full coloring job. Right after that I'll return with all remaining ones that's still in sketchwork phase. Most of them are really delayed and I apologize once again for that.

Any of my current commissioners can always contact me via email for any questions, and I'll reply asap.

In the meantime, since I'm still not taking new works until I deliver most of the pending ones, I may work on a new adoptable OC soon. For those interested, stay tuned for the next days/next week.

Beforehand, I'd like to thank all positive messages from friends and clients during my time in the hospital in February. Even after I was discharged, it took me a few more weeks to return properly to my work rythm, which means the whole last month was ruined production-wise. Still, I appreciate the patience of my current commissioners and I might reserve the next months to exclusively finish my pending works.

Therefore, I'm currently NOT available for new commissions. At all.

In the meantime, I'd also offer a brand new adoptable OC auction, which might happen still in this week.

BTW, it's an avian this time. :) So for those curious and/or interested, stay tuned!

An overall heads-up to all commissioners in my current WIP list: I got caught by "that" blasted flu on last tuesday (18th) and only now I'm gradually recovering from the bad effects. Unfortunately this delayed even further my schedule and I'm afraid I'll be able to update some of them only in february.

For this same reason I have no plans whatsoever to open new commission slots soon. It might depends on my health and mood. I apologize for the inconveninence and once again appreciate the patience from my current clients. For further questions (as long as it's not about new commissions) I'd reply via notes or email.

Today is my buddy  jilo's birthday!
Let's pay homage to this greatly talented fellow! ^_^

Just a reminder to my current commissioners and potential new ones. Probably most have noticed already the info at the front page of my FA account, but I'm on a working hiatus these days, right after my last delivered commission piece on day 8th.

Due to the busy nature of December, I'm having a hard time to update any artworks at the moment, not only for the holiday commitments, but I also had to deal with an energy blackout for 24 hrs last thursday, and attending my brother and niece who's paying me a visit this week. At most, I'll be working on my traditional xmas themed pic.

That said, I won't be taking any new deals until next year, and I may return with my regular schedule around day 27th.

Thank you folks for your patience and understanding, and in the meantime, I'd wish you all a wonderful and safe Christmas / Holidays!

"Feeling terrible for asking for this, but i'm getting evicted, and since not sure if i could solve this or find a new home, i'll leave a http://PayPal.Me where you can feel free to leave any tip.
I'm so... so sorry."

Or at least spread the word. Thank you.

Sorry for those who's waiting my reply on FA notes. I'm quite behind on a bunch of them but I'll reply each one soon enough. Thanks for waiting.

This journal is mostly for my current commissioners. I'm awfully delayed in releasing samples for some of them, and even with all your patience, I apologize for that. Sometimes I get focused in updating an specific commission and it end up taking more days than expected.

Also every week I use to reserve thursday to sunday for commitments outside my regular commission schedule. So this also influence my flux of sample releases. I even had an issue in my left eye 2 weeks ago (mentioned on my Twitter) but I still couldn't mark an ophtalmologist appointment because I really wanted to update most commissions as possible. I know I'll have to reserve a few days for several eye exams, just like it happened a few years ago.

That said, Easter is coming. And some people know what this means to me. So yeah, I might take a few time during this week to bring something for the occasion. If any of my current commissioners have questions, please send me a note or email.

Also, not available for new commissions yet, exactly due to the reasons above. I really need to wrap up some stuff and give a chance for people who contacted me a long time ago.

Hi, sorry for the lack of new pics in my gallery, as well as updates to my commissions over the last week. Today I'm working on new samples and over the week will notify all clients that has new samples to receive.

Pretty soon I'll post some fresh stuff here!

I've recently reached 20.000 watchers on FA!!

Thanks so much to all friends, fans, commmissioners and people overall who still appreciate and support my work. I'm really glad to have you peeps by my side. ^^

Best wishes to all of you! <3

Heads-up: I may release a new auction in the next 10 hours (or less). Stay tuned!

I'm currently working on a brand new adoptable OC. I may release an auction this week.

For those interested, stay tuned. 👀

Today is  tigerblack's birthday!

Have a fun, healthy and peaceful day, man!

Today is  soulblader's birthday. :)

Let's praise this cool and creative fellow! \o/

Thank you everyone who sent positive feedback in my last journal about my current commission status and overall working conditions. I so appreciate your understanding and kindness. Hope you all are safe and healthy, specially during these hard times of global quarantine. Keep up and stay strong, folks.

In other news: for those who still want to support my work during these times, I'll be releasing a brand new OC adoptable this week. Stay tuned for the upcoming post in my galleries. Thanks in advance.

Beforehand, I'm grateful for all people interest in supporting my work by getting a commissioned art. But I'm aware some might be upset for not having a chance yet in quite some time. I apologize for the ongoing declines and I assure it is nothing personal overall.

My time for working on regular commissions is usually narrow. I must juggle it between other works and RL issues so I end up having a little less than 2 weeks per month to work on them. It doesn't help that some of my current pending commissions are quite elaborated and I still owe a few credits for other commissioners. Plus I've been dealing with increased stress and anxiety lately (with some pain behind my head) and I barely find enough time to draw my own projects, which is actually the main reason I still don't own a Patreon account.

That's why I keep on a commission hiatus until I can finish most of my pending work. I'd be very glad for the patience and understanding from all of you.

If anyone have questions, plase do it through a note. And PLEASE be polite in the comments section.

Thanks in advance.

Just a heads-up: I'm currently working on a brand new adoptable. I may release it at friday or saturday.

For those interested, stay tuned.

To  fluff-kevlar and  eltonpot, haha!

Beforehand I'd like to thank my buddy  jilo for informing my absence from the internet since last saturday (21th).

At that time there was an accident with a truck on my street that ruined almost two blocks of internet & telephone connection cables on the poles nearby. As ludicrous as it sounds, my internet provider postponed a corrective maintenance all over this week and I had to demand an emergency attendance before I cancel the service overall. Finally a tech support fixed the cables, but the internet provider will hear from me anyway in a few days.

In the meantime I'm gradually getting back on tracks with my peeps. Thanks everyone for the patience, I'll bring up updates asap!
