Personal Update
Posted 4 years agoThere are a lot of negatives still happening but for the sanity of myself and anyone listening Im only updating to report good news.
My illness seems to have cleared for the most part but I am still 2 months out from being able to get an MRI scan and an appointment with a specialist. But for now symptoms are extremely mild if at all. Still no official diagnosis.
As I may have stated before, Doctors have told me that the illness may have been exacerbated by emotional stress and I was advised to see someone about that. As of last week I've been formally diagnosed with Social Anxiety. Due to the fact that Social Anxiety is symptomatic of a plethora of problems, that diagnosis may change. This may not sound like good news but as someone who has been suffering these mental symptoms for a life time that is a step in the right direction.
In the coming weeks you may see some uploads from me, they are neither impressive nor polished. They were merely drawn for the sake of enjoyment, something I have not done in a long time.
If your still here and still reading, I appreciate you taking the time. And I hope that even if I only draw small sketches once every 3 months that you are able to enjoy those.

YCH and commissions
Posted 4 years agoShort version:
It is highly likely that the on going YCH will be the last one until further notice.
All current commissions will be finished.
Long version:
As much as I would like to be a full time artist, the client base isn't sufficient. I cannot keep up with medical finances. Im still sick. What I have isn't contagious. But as things stand I will have to find a different source of income with a day job. Which most likely means a job where I have to leave my house and risk infection to myself and people around me. Im not saying any of this to make people feel bad, I'm just sad about it and dissapointed in myself. And frustrated at the pandemic situation.
I had so many projects set to get off the ground when I put myself in a situation to commit myself to said projects. But because of mental disorder relapses and this Cool New Sickness many of them have not happened and I cannot say when or if they ever will. I no longer have the savings to "pad out" the time I have to build up a better portfolio, to cultivate a sustainable customer base or to figure out a sweet spot between my personal interests and the interests of a demographic that could help support me.
I moved to a completely different state where I don't know anyone and have no chance to make friends with how things are in the US. So I've spent nearly every moment by myself where the only interactions I have with other people is through commission work. It's been mentally taxing to say the least.
If Im being quit honest I don't think this was ever a career that I was meant for, I don't have the demand required to be able to support myself this way. Of the 7 months I have been doing this only about 2 of those months was I able to break even on bills. I know being an artist is 1/3 the art and 2/3 self advertisement. And I guess I just don't have the aptitude or the stamina for it.
I have always had doubts about myself as an artist but this is sort of just solidifying it. And perhaps I need to find something more productive to do with my time so I can stop feeling like Im at the bottom all the time.

Commissions Delay
Posted 4 years agoThe set of commissions from last auction will be delayed at least another week. Im sorry for all the delays. I appreciate all the well wishes.
not quite out of the woods yet
Posted 4 years agoStill sick but things are improving. im being encouraged to rest and avoid stress. Apparently its highly likely the cause of my illness. Commissions from the most recent auction should begin next week.
Personal Update
Posted 5 years agoStill not much energy so this will be about as brief as the last update. Medication while still helping pain wise is still making it difficult to do day to day things. Commissions are making progress, how ever slow they may be.
If my condition does not clear up by the end of December I will be going to the hospital. Ill do my best to keep all my clients in touch. Just letting yall know Im alive and doin work when I can. And I hope people are having a good holiday if nothing else.
Cheers

Personal & Commissions Update
Posted 5 years agoI don't have much energy so this will be very short. Im currently being medicated for the condition mentioned in my previous journal. I have getting better but side effects of this medications make it very difficult for me to work. I am expected to adjust as the month goes on. That being said, the on going auction will still end tonight, but I may not be able to begin the commissions until a few weeks from now. Please keep that in mind when bidding or if you have already bid. I dont expect delays to surpass Christmas but if you need your commission as a gift please let me know as soon as possible.

Personal Update
Posted 5 years agoIve run into a medical issue. While the issue itself is still undetermined its gotten me into some financial trouble. I cannot afford health care as things stand and I don't qualify for state coverage. So currently I am paying out of pocket which is putting me triple digits past what I have to spend just to be seen by a doctor, not including treatments or prescriptions or anything other then getting into the office.
I don't like begging for money, I don't like hand outs. So I will just keep pushing as many YCHs as i can, possibly open some way of doing donations for sketches. I know times are hard for everyone so if nothing else I appreciate the read, or any further support that can be given in the form of sharing and commissioning.

Thank You!
Posted 5 years agoHalloween commissions are just about wrapped up! I am very happy to say that last month, with the support from auctions I was able to pay bills, buy food and have enough left to tuck away for prescription renewals. I have a very hard time believing my art is worth paying for at times and an even harder time believing I could ever support myself doing it. But the last month many of you proved me wrong. I know it doesn't sound like much but being able to break even with my expenses by doing commissions is HUGE for me. I know there are tons of artists who struggle and I don't ever want to take things like this for granted. So really this is more or less a post to say thank you to those people and thank you to those who support me in what ever way that may be, not just commissions.
There will be more YCHs coming up and with a new theme so please stay tuned as I continue to experiment with auctions.

Halloween Auctions
Posted 5 years agoI want to thank everyone who had placed a bid over the past few weeks. Now that all the auctions are closed, things might be a little quiet while I work begins. I have contacted everyone with a winning bid. If I have not contacted you and you are still standing with the highest bid please email me! I try my best but I am certainly not the most organized person and don't want to leave anyone hanging.
Stay tuned for future updates.

Popular Comission Rates
Posted 5 years agoHey there guys.
So some time ago I believe I made an announcement about becoming a full time artist. While this has been true for a couple of months now I had much of my work focused else where on a project I'm not at liberty to speak about. How ever, because of current circumstances I will be needing to find other means of supporting myself.
Money I receive is used to pay for rent, phone, internet service, prescriptions and groceries. And I have been fortunate enough to receive support with those needs. It's quite hard for me to talk about myself and equally hard to interact with the nice comments people leave on my submissions and profile. But I hope that people know I appreciate the words and the business that is brought to me. And how much I hope I can continue to support myself by these means.
But I digress, this post is mainly being made to announce that I will be posting prices for common commission pieces. Things like character busts, head shots, character sheets ect. I will still offer quotes and flexibility on anything that can't be listed, these will just be prices for things that are easy to define.
There will be no slot system unless such a thing becomes necessary. So feel free to contact the email in my bio about anything relating to commissions.
All My Best.

Streaming a shibari commission!
Posted 5 years agoOpening for commissions!
Posted 5 years agoNew home is more or less settled now so im happy to say I can once again dedicate time to taking commissioned work!
As of now I don't have based prices. I prefer to work one-on-one with my customers to reach a price appropriate to their needs and budget. Perhaps if a specific item becomes popular I will make a list of prices for such things. So if you would like to discuss a commission please email me at the attached address. Include in your email what it is you would like, and your budget. I currently am only accepting paypal but should have square available soon as well.
In any case, Im hoping to be posting more.
