Trying to get rid of a good amount of characters and old OC's of mine!
Posted to my SFW account if you wanna check it out!
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/54751093/

So, I've been thinking about this for a very long time, and I want some honest feedback here.

I'm thinking of starting a Patreon. And if I did, would anyone be interested in it? If so, what sort of things would you like to see? Lore stuff, wips, NSFW things, comic progress, monthly raffles, private streams, discounted commissions and adopts, first dibs on adopts and coms, etc?

I wouldn't be able to offer much at first, but I'd try to make it worthwhile.

I have one last Commission in my Queue, and then I'll be done! ^^

Firstly, I wanna say a massive thanks to all the folks that commissioned me while i was at my lowest! You have no idea how much that meant to me! And, I'm sorry it took so long to get the images done!

Next, I'd like to inform you folks that I'll be taking a break from commissions for a good little bit. Don't ask me when I'll be ready to open them again, cause I honestly don't know. This last two years I've been dealing w/ massive burnout and rude clients. So, I'm tired.

Leading me to my last thing, I'll be changing my Prices and TOS. As well as adding a Blacklist.
I don't tolerate someone who tries to devalue my work or questions the VERY clear rules and Boundaries I have set for myself and my work. On top of folks who I thought where friends, but truly cared nothing about my boundaries, and just wanted free or heavily discounted art. I don't ask for much folks. Just Respect.

As for prices, they will be going up. Over the past two years, I'm confident in saying that my work has very much improved, and thus I put way more time in my coms! And with PayPal upping their fees...yeah, it's time. If this turns you off on my coms, sorry. It is what it is. If you complain to me about not being able to afford them, you're getting blocked! I'm not in the mood for that shit. Art is a luxury, not a need. If you can't buy it yet. Save up, or go to someone cheaper. But don't complain to me about it.

Anyway, thanks for your time! And thanks again for the support! I really appreciate it!

Peace out!

I return to my day job Tuseday (December 1st) but before that day, I need to make a few calls to make sure I'm good to go regarding my leave pay and such, and find out what my schedule is for that week!

So after I'm done with those calls, I'll be working on some of the last commissions I owe! I'm almost done with the oldest once that I've had on my plate for a while and my next batch, which are the Fullbody Cell Shaded ones, are next, but they will come by slowly. Thanks to me being off work for so long, my sleeping habits and energy level has been entirely fucked over.

And since I work in retail, and Christmas is fast approaching, I'm gunna have a difficult time pumping out the commissions at a steady pace. But I will get them done! So, if you have a commission from me that you're waiting on, please keep an eye on your DM's or discord (if you have mine), for any updates on WIP'S, cause I'm gunna be quickly doing what I can to get these things moving before Christmas, so I can finally draw my own things and start updating my commission prices and sheet.

Thank you guys again for helping me through all this crap! 2020 has done nothing but smack my ass, knock me in the back of the head with a lead pipe, and then proceed to stomp my ass and spit on me while calling me scum. It's been very rough! From loosing my love, my home, and to an extent....my very soul. Honestly, if it weren't for all your support, I really don't think I'd bee here right now! Thank you all so much!

Hey guys! So today has been a rough day, if you've seen my status update then you know what I'm talking about, but if not here's the low down!


This morning, I got up to go and get my third Covid Test, but my car wasn't starting. (As I type this, we are currently trying to see if charging the battery will help.) I started to freak out, as I'm supposed to pay my Grandfather rent ($175 twice a month) and I have my Car Insurance ($71.25) and Internet Bill ($17.99) due next week, and I really can't afford any crazy car bills! Well, I called up my bank and SURPISE! I haven't been paid! I'm currently on paid leave from my day job, and I'm supposed to be getting paid during this time! So, I called up the folks that cover that stuff, and they told me that I won't be paid this week, but the week after next....after all my bills are due! Like, the fuck am I supposed to do till then? Just, stop existing for a few days?


I currently have about $73 in my account right now, which only covers my Car Insurance, but the Internet Bill comes before that, and I kinda need that for my work here! I'm gunna need about $200 for the bills and food I need till I get paid, so as much as I'd hate to do this, especially since I already have quite the Commission List to work on at the moment, I'm opening some Special Commissions!


Some of you know that I plan on updating my commission Sheet and Prices as well as adding new things to offer as options, well Cell Shaded is one of those things! So I'm gunna be doing $25 FullBody Cell Shaded Commissions!

You read the title right! Commissions are open!
See here for details!
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/30173848/

Ok, so....I'm not too sure how true this is, but my job is offering to let those who feel like they are in danger from the virus take a two week break from work with no penalties to thier attendance.

But no pay!

I mean....sounds like a penalty to me, but what do I know!

I'm thinking about taking up the offer, but in order to make some money during that time, I may open a few commissions. I'll let you guys know.

I'm crying so much from anger and sadness.

I'm about to have to give up my baby girl Nightingale, and take her to a shelter. I don't wanna let her go, I love her so much. But it has to be done.

Dosen't mean I gotta like it...

I have to do it cause we're in the process of getting our house ready to sell, and she has to be gone by Tuesday according to my mother-in-law. She's not fixed, so I can't just toss her outside. (Especially since it's winter, and none of my friends will take her.) I pretty much have no choice.

I'm beyond grief and Anger at this point, and I'm just so emotional that I can't sleep!

My poor baby girl!

Character design commissions are something I've considered adding to my commission items....but I'm 100% confident in my abilities to create a character unless I'm given mostly creative freedom on it with maybe a few design details?

Idk, and I wouldn't even be sure what I'd like to charge for such a thing, as in some cases, the time it would take to make some designs would take longer based on complexity or how long it would take me to make it. ^^;

But, what do you guys think?

Hey guys! It's me again, and....I've got some pretty heavy news. I'm gunna try my best to explain everything and try to make as much sense as possible. So if you want, you can try and read my ramblings and see if you can understand, if not, that's fine. I'll have a TLDR line at the end to help me some everything up.

Ok, so to start off, this past Monday, my hubby found out his little sister (about 16 years old) is showing some rather intense symptoms of MS, or Multiple Sclerosis. For those of you who dont know what that is, basically it effects a person's body making them black out for hours. It has other symptoms, but because of this, people with MS typically can't drive or play sports. (His sister just got her driver's license and she loved playing sports. But....now neither of those are possible for her at this point.)

His mother and sister live a full town away from where she goes to school, and since she can have one of her attacks at any moment without warning, they need a safe place for her to rest that's in between the school and their house. That's....where me and my hubby come in....

Our house isn't too far from the school, so, the room where my Art Room currently sits, will have to be moved to another room in the house, so we can make a spare room for his sister to stay in if she has another dizzy spell. But, if that where all that's been going on, I wouldn't be making this post right now.

This part is where things get a bit confusing.

It may or may not happen, but it doesn't matter at this point. Basically, since the house I'm living in is in his parents name, I have no say in what happens in this house. (I can't even hang up pictures or use thumbtacks and nails on the walls because they say it will "ruin" the walls.) Hell, they could even throw me out and let my hubby keep living here they so chose. For the longest time, I've been living with this constant fear! A fear that one day, with no warning, the house I'm living in will be ripped out from underneath me. And there's nothing I can do about it.

And yesterday, my fear came true. Not long after we got the news from him mom about his sister, we where told that his mom is putting our house up for sell again. They tried to do it once before, but changed their minds. But, their doing it again. And this time, they say its because it's too much work for my hubby. (You see, our house was built back in the 50's and when they first bought this place, it needed renovations, so they hired a contractor who ended up screwing them over and just running with the money. So this place still needs a lot of work.) We dont NEARLY have the money to buy this place or put a down payment on it. And since this place needs a ton of renovations, since not worth the huge investment to keep trying to fix. Giving how much me and my hubby work, we hardly have the time.

So, if the house sells (which it will take about 3 months for it to get on the market) me and my hubby will have to go and live in his grandmother's old house. Where me and him would be living in a garage that's about the size of a small trailer house, with his mom and sister. (They'll be living in a separate part of the house.)

Because of all this shit, my brain is in an absolute state of panic, anger, and sadness. And I'm not gunna lie you guys, I'm starting to wonder if any of it is worth it. I hate sitting in a chair at my house for an hour and wondering if I'll even be able to sit in the same chair 6 months from now! I don't like this at all! I feel trapped! And worst part is not knowing! I literally wont know anything about the house selling untill after Christmas! And until then, I'm basically gunna be walking on pins and needles!

I dont ask for much in this world. I just want a place for myself, a place to call home, a place where I wont be bothered, a place I could die peacefully in my old age.

Currently, the only thing I can do, is prepare. Me and my hubby are gunna start putting money away in a savings account (about 100 every paycheck, maybe more.) In preparation to get our own place. We have friends at work and outside work helping us find a house. But even if we find one, we can't buy it if we don't have the money. And even if we get the money, we may not be able to buy it if someone gets it first.

I'm tired, I'm scared, and I'm starting to get sick of it!

But, I'm gunna try my best. For now, it's all I can do.

And so, it brings me to why I'm telling you guys this.

If it wasn't already obvious by now, all of this has me incredibly irritated and exhausted. So much so that I'm not sure of I'll be able to draw anything worth much. If at all. (Especially if we keep moving my equipment.) And for this same reason, I'm gunna be a little quite for a while. I may poke my head out every now and then, but for the most part, I'm gunna be a ghost on social media. And I'll try to Update when I can. And to my friends who I do have the ability to speak directly to, I'll try my best to talk more. But again...I'm not feeling my best right now.

I typically dont vent much about my problems, because I'm of the mindset that others have problems, that are just as bad if not worse then mine. And I can understand it can be a bit annoying if not obnoxious if someone is always bitching about problems they're having and they do nothing about it. So, I rarely share my problems. But... this is some big shit for me, and I just wanna let you guys know that I'm still alive.

I still have some leftover art that I need to finish, but after that, I'm not sure how my art output is gunna be. I know it will be a long while before i ever open commissions or do art of others, since again, I'm not sure how stable my work environment will be. If this ruins your image of me, or makes you not wanna watch me anymore, that's perfectly fine. Honestly it shows more about yourself then it does me. And I don't wanna surround myself with others who will only support me when I'm pretending to be fine. I wanna have people who will be there to support me when I'm feeling like I'm at my lowest. I really hate saying these things, since it seems like I'm gaining so meny more supporters as of late, but, if I can't be honest, then I'm not sure if I deserve that kind of support.

And with that being said, here's my TLDR!
I'm in an unstable situation. And I'm currently trying to get myself into a better one! So I'm probably not gunna be around for a bit.

BE RESPECTFUL IN THE COMMENTS! Right now, I'm in a state where I need to think about me, and I swear to God, if someone comes at me with this, "Oh I have it worse!" Or "Grow up!" Shit! Then you'll be blocked. Plain and simple. I'm not gunna tolerate people being insensitive to the situations of others. Yeah you might have it tougher then me. But it's not a contest dipshit! Sorry about your situation, but it doesn't mine any better or worse! SHUT UP!

I'm gunna leave you guys with this final message, Please love one another. Be there for those who matter around you. And for those of you who read this whole thing, Thank you! Thank you from the very bottom of my heart!

VDragon Out!

So last night I had probably one of the most scariest and most nerve racking experiences of my life.

Last night, while I was at work, I had a man come in and tell me that there was a lady outside of our store that was harassing others, I'm assuming for spare change. Well, I let one of our Night Stockers know about it, and he went outside to talk to the lady and tell her to scram. Well, he comes back in a moment later telling me she said she was just there to get a drink, but he asked me to keep an eye on her to make sure she wasn't up to something. (You know, because it's obvious by now that something just isn't right here. I should also mention that there is no manager there after 10pm. It's literally just me, and the Night Stockers.)

Lady comes into the store not long after, and is over by the drink coolers, just staring and getting down really low at the cooler. So I walk over to ask if she needs help. To which, she responds, "No ma'am." And I leave her be, but I'm still not convinced. So, I made sure to watch this woman like a hawk.

After a little bit, she's just standing behind this man at one of my Self-Check out stations. And I know for damn sure she's not with him. I'm assuming she was using him to block my view of her, but I didn't work so well, since he was moving a lot. She then walks over to two other men in the aisle behind her, and then comes and pays for her drink. After she walks away a bit, I ask the two gentlemen if she asked for money, and they nodded their heads. I then informed them that she had been outside doing the same thing to others outside.

After they check out, I walk out with them to the doors, to make sure the lady is gone, but nope.

Instead the women is WALKING TO MY CAR! AND THEN JUST SITS THERE STAREING AT IT FOR 5 SECONDS!

Nope! I know what she's doing, and I'm not having any of it! I walk outside and I tell this woman that she needs to get away from the car. She then says, "It's my little brother's car!" (You guy's I've never wanted to punch a girl so hard in my life!)

I tell her that that is a damn lie and that that is my goddamn car, and I'm guessing that what she is doing next, is a way of trying to get me to come closer to her. Because she starts "yelling" more quietly and I can't hear her. But again, I'm not as dumb as I look!

I then pull out my phone, and start to call the cops, and then she starts READING OUT MY PLATE NUMBER! So, by then I'm flipping out and the woman has not left. I keep my eye on her while talking to dispatch, and they send two cops over.

To make a long story short, They showed up, they talk to the lady, then to me, and then they take her off the property. The worst part of all, this had me so damn anxious all night, and I got literally no sleep!

Management is crazy if they think I'm working till closing again after this!

Lesson here: If something seems off, please get help! Go with your instincts, because their usually right! And it's better to be safe then sorry.

And if you made it this far in the post, Thanks for reading, I had to get this off my chest!
