Okay, so, people have been asking questions, and it made me realize it's high time to explain some things.

I haven't been drawing much. I haven't really been doing much at all. I've been dealing with anxiety and depression for awhile, especially recently.

Last month, I finally started psychiatry and medication. We're still trying to figure out a lot of things, especially what medication works for me and what doesn't. It could be wrapping soon, or it could take weeks, or months? I don't really know. And after that, there's still plenty more that I have to do. And my emotions in general are still taking a beating in the meantime as we figure everything out. So for those of you that regularly communicate with me, there's an explanation, or excuse, or however you want to see it.

--

So, content creation.

I haven't been drawing much lately. I've barely drawn for a couple of months now? I'm still somehow managing Patreon stuff, but just barely. Backlogged content is still going up on my regular channels - including Patreon - as I remember to and/or get the motivation to post them. But streaming, for example, hit a hard hiatus, and for those of you subscribed, you're more than welcome to cancel. I wholly recognize that I haven't been providing literally anything at all.

Commissions are closed for now, and they'll probably stay that way for awhile.

For those of you that I've been in talks with on commissions over the past few months: I know. Sorry for the wait. You're not forgotten, but I am a bit of a mess. If you have approached me, please feel free to remind me of any outstanding work to be done, to make sure my list is in order. I believe I'm caught up on payments outstanding, but if I'm wrong, absolutely call me out on it. Details have been sort of been slipping away from my mind, lately.

I just need to figure this all out and get through it.
Not my best writing, but I figured at this point it's best to be a little transparent.

Sorry.

Hello today!
Posting another annual journal to get the word out on a thing, because a lot's been going on (maybe you've noticed).

But without going into too much detail, amidst a lot of unexpected life changes and hospital visits (I'm okay!), commissions will be slowing down drastically (as if I wasn't already a slow-ass bitch hahaha). There are a small handful of you still waiting on projects to be completed, and don't worry. Hopefully this is more of a short-term thing, but we'll see. For those of you following me on Patreon, hopefully it won't interrupt that content flow too terribly, but if things get that bad, then I'll post another update.

Thank you everyone for your continued support! I know I'm not handling things too well, but I appreciate all of you for sticking around here, there, or wherever. I'm not good with words, and I know I can't properly explain the feeling, but the feeling is certainly there! 💕

Stay happy and stay safe!

Hello today~!!
Just posting my annual journal, because a lot of things are changing around!

As some of you may be aware, I've been dabbling in Picarto lately, and response has been small, but extra positive, so thank you to those of you that stop by! But I'm also experimenting with trying more SFW-focused streaming over on Twitch. Thus far, streaming has been an effective means of making sure that I stay focused on tasks through the day. And as SFW commissions are few and far between right now, Twitch is a great outlet to help divide my focus between working, and drawing for myself; plus being among a larger, more casual viewerbase. For now, I'll continue to post little "temporary" Submissions whenever I'm going live, so hopefully that'll help make sure you don't miss anything. But please do consider Following whichever ones you'd like! It'll be a great way to help me gauge interest in keeping them going in the future!

In other news, I've released a new Patreon tier!! On occasion, I've received complaints that my Patreon doesn't have the NSFW work that I'm known for here on FA, and some people aren't as interested in that. Well, now I have a new $3 Experimental: Exotic Exhibits tier, exclusively for more of the lewd obscenities you may be used to seeing through my gallery here! There are already sketches going up that haven't been shown anywhere else, yet, and it'll eventually end up rolling into early access if the interest is there (and if I can ever catch up through this backlog haha)! If you have a monthly coffee to spare, how about putting it toward this new tier and getting some lewd sketches a few times a week? :3c

That's all for now guys, thank you for sticking around -- stay happy and healthy!

🐑🤍

Maybe a little late for that, whoops

After an unexpected hospital stay earlier this year, and an injury to my wrist - lumped up with some disgusting anxiety and insecurity - I've been falling way more behind on things than I'd like. At least I'm finally getting around to uploading some backlog?

I've definitely been wanting to change things around a bit. I want to try and get back into drawing more often and consistently. I just have trouble finding the motivation. It'd be nice to go back to just drawing stuff for fun, for myself. The lineart process is just so draining, I'm hoping to figure out a way to better streamline it. I also want to get back to doing some more sfw pinup stuff, too. Just some cute girls being cute. My recent sheepsona is hopefully a gateway to start on that, but I guess we'll see how it goes.
Just venting a lot of stuff I want to start improving on.

Hopefully I'll stop comparing myself to everyone else. That'd be a good start.


On more of a feedback side, hopefully everyone is mostly okay with how things have been around here. And where applicable, on my Patreon as well, because it's deathly quiet. Patrons falter in and out regularly, so there isn't really any growth at all, which makes me wonder if I'm doing something wrong. Also thinking on the possibility of making/selling some casual little keychains??? But I don't know, we'll see how that goes, too. Tbh I get a lot of feedback from here, relative to my Twitter or Patreon, so any kind of input anywhere at all would be nice.

Thanks for sticking around, you precious nerds ;-;

💗🐑

(tfw you don't use the journal feature often enough that you forget how to make a new one)

Uh, hi! I figured I'd try and write a new one of these; throw in some recent life events and get rid of that old dumb vent journal of mine. Maybe people are fine with it, but maybe you'll be all "ew ugh blech dumb loser." In which case it'll quietly disappear. Anyway, life has been a whole thing, lately. A couple hospital visits over recent months (everything is okay tho), work being work, and art being art.



Did I mention work being work? It keeps me exhausted, and otherwise too low-energy to draw as much as I'd like. And definitely keeps me a little less social. (Not like I ever was a very social person.) Also, the stress gets to me a lot, so my morale is lower in general. I'm not trying to be a quiet downer-type, but it's definitely more common.

Commission work has been slow, and I completely blame the aforementioned work as the culprit. Not that my own anxieties don't get in the way or anything. Art is hard. Especially with all the amazing creators in this community, it's heckin' ridiculous. So for those of you that decide I'm worth the time, and stick with me through the anxiety and the emptiness, I super appreciate it. ❤
There's a lot of hyper interest happening. And I love it in a lot of ways~ A couple of you in particular have been hella supportive in all this, and I know you're aware of how much that means to me. Still really enjoying dealing with some normal proportions, though! So, whomsoever of you veer one way or another, please don't be dismayed, I love all the sizes! I'm also trying to get better at being firm in taking commissions centered on what I like to see? I dunno, maybe it comes off as a little closed-minded. I just want to make sure I'm actually enjoying the work I do, instead of just forcing myself through art to get paid, I guess. I already have enough trouble making art because of my dreadful envious and comparative tendencies, so whatever I can do to make it smoother on myself, I'm definitely going to do.

One of these days, I really want to try and get back into some like sketch streams or something. Anxiety and fatigue are really keeping off it, but I dunno. Also have a few small ideas with some adoptables floating around?? I love designing characters, but the last thing I need is another OC that I'm literally never ever going to use ever. I'm definitely planning on an "anything goes" kind of sale. Once it's yours, it's yours. Change the proportions, change the colors, change the animal. Heck, resell it to someone else if you're better at selling it than I am (which you probably are). Adoptables aren't something I've ever really done, so I'd love ideas and recommendations on how to approach it, in terms of what I should be doing, how I should be pricing, and what people want to see.



Outside of dumb art nonsense, I've been trying to do this thing called "enjoying life" in the form of video games? I heard it's kind of nice, but sometimes I have trouble with it. Dropped out of FFXIV awhile ago, as the endgame and its meta continues to scare the heckie out of me. (But if you have cute miqo'te girls that need drawing, I'm open to ideas!)

Also dabbling in Switch nonsense, these past few months. Splatoon is great, man. I'm sure some of you have seen the occasional squid arts around here. (And if you have cute futasquid girls that need drawing, I'm open to--) I really suck at it, though. I had stopped playing except for Splatfests, but even then, I just get so bummed about losing, or holding my team back, so I've kinda dropped it. I dunno, maybe one of these days I'll get over it.
Felt super nice to get back into some RE Revelations, that's for sure. And Bayonetta, too!? I've never played them before, and the gameplay feels all sorts of great, but wow, action games are just not for me, I guess, ha. RE and Bayo also have this thing where I have a big fat rating shoved in front of my face when I play it, and always being shown that I'm not doing a good job at playing the game just really bums me out? Like, it's not like I don't know I'm bad at it?? But I dunno.

I also saw the MLP movie. I kinda stopped caring about the series, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to see that delicious, delicious animation, and it didn't disappoint~ Two of the songs are hella, too. Tempest is absolute pony-waifu material, by the way. (And if you have cute futapony girls that need drawi--)



But I'll stop. I think I'm getting a bit tangential, but maybe it's better than saying literally absolutely nothing at all??? Just felt like trying to put myself out there a little bit, I suppose.

Anyway, you people are all precious and wonderful, and I hope you all have a good weekend! ;-;

Sorry for the lack of activity and the sloppy upkeep, guys. Things in general have just been dumb and rough, lately. I keep wanting to draw for you guys. Hell, I barely draw for myself, anymore. I have so many things in my mind, that I'm like "yes, I want to draw this," but when I try, nothing comes together, or when I browse my notifications and dashboards, envy strikes. Emotions being more annoying than usual. Exceptionally selfish thoughts, too.

We'll see. Here's hoping for the best.
Just trying to be transparent. I'm still alive, just less communicative, and less artsy than I'd prefer.
Or maybe I'm just a lazy fuck. I dunno.

I want to draw cute futa pinups, and I want to do it nowwww
Hey fuckers, note me for cute futa pinupssss

I'll just take three right now, >2$

Just pointing out that I'm pulling commissions back up! I've re-linked to all the info on my page header, and I'll make sure to try and keep the slot statuses up to date.
If you have any questions or concerns, then feel free to drop a line!

Alternatively, spreading the word on this or on my Patreon would be super amazing of you~ (´∇ﾉ｀*)ノ

Hello hello!
To those unaware, I'm going to be keeping commissions closed for a bit. After going through my backlog from the winter, I decided I needed to give myself a little break and try and work on a couple of personal projects. Ideally, it should only last a week or two, and I'll definitely be announcing when everything is all opened up again.

As far as the future is concerned, I'm going to be reworking a few things. One, in particular, involving raised prices. I know, it's not great, and it probably won't be very much of an increase. I'm still going to be open to haggles and bargains, but it's money I need to make, time I need to spare, and work I need to invest. I'm also going to a bit more strict enforcing what I will and will not do; feel free to contact me for specifics, if you happen to be curious. An updated list of prices should be up soon, to replace the old list, alongside particular strong points that strike my fancy.
This is still up in the air, but for now, I'm going to start taking slots in sets of three: one active commission, and up to two in reserve, hopefully even keeping a public list. To better streamline the process and avoid spreading the wait among multiple people. If communication or finances break down during a commission, I will take care of it on an as-needed basis.

My Patreon is going to be slightly overhauled as well, seeing as some past responsibilities have grown to be impractical for me to manage, that will be soon amended as well. And if anyone has any ideas for perks and rewards for Patron pledge amounts, feel free to voice your opinion, or if there's anything pushing you away from my Patreon, let me know, so I can help to make it more accessible and worth your time!

Thank you all so much for your continued support, I super appreciate it. And if you have more specific questions regarding anything, or just want to leave a thought, please feel free to leave a message. None if this is set in stone at all, so we'll see how things go.

So many artists get all these great little commissions again and again and again.
And here I am selling out on stuff I sometimes don't care much for, barely scraping to get by.

I guess it doesn't help that I barely manage a commission every few weeks, and have a backlog still reaching back to like January.
And a blog that has barely updated since November... (；´・ω・`)

Now I just need to get the motivation to draw again!

Paypal decided to flag me and my Patreon page over a misunderstanding from a (totally unrelated) stream commission.

So I’ll be in talks with Paypal over the next few days. Here’s hoping it all works out.

As I continue to be a worthless and generally disappointing hack that hasn't touched my tablet in weeks, taking on too many commissions to handle, and completely crash down for like a month I guess.

Maybe someday I'll actually listen to my own advice and only take commissions I want to take, and only take one at a time.

I'm not very good at these things, but so uh.

Friend technicolor-visions has been going through some rough times and has been in the middle of getting back on track, but has fallen victim to car troubles. https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/7349576/
She does cute things, if that sweetens the deal for anyone, so business or spreading the word would be much appreciated!

Do not crush your dominant hand.
It is a bad idea.
Ow.

I want to take on some lewd as fuck commissions.
Pay me to draw naughty thingsssssss

I feel like I haven’t grown as an artist lately, because I hardly ever want to draw. I look back to art from last year, and it looks the same as, if not better than, the stuff I do now. I can barely even finish sketches, anymore.
I never care to practice or study, I never care to try new things. I barely feel like drawing things in my comfort zone. So there’s not even a spark to try and go outside my comfort zone.

I just don’t care anymore, and when I do care, I have no time, or no real motivation to start. And it’s the worst.

tl;dr: expect less art because i suck

I should have called hiatus two weeks ago, but I’ll go ahead and call it now, instead.
Later, friendos.

To test the waters here, how many people would be interested if I started creating hella sexy/cute characters and just selling them around dirt cheap?
They could be curvy or kinky or whatever. I'd like to cater to what my followers want, but if there's no real preference, then I'll just do whatevs.

I know I barely even get responses on my journals at all, but worth a shot, right?
Right?

Currently not dead yet.
Life has been crowded with newfound work, general lethargy, and otherwise intermittent shenanigans. If the lack of updates hasn't been to evident yet, then it might end up becoming moreso.
This pretty much also means that commissions will be going at a much slower pace, so pls bear with meeeee ♥

I don't do this a lot, so just kinda bear with me here.
So um, good friend of mine Technicolor-Visions and her roommate Corvyn are in a bit of a bind and super need funds! If you could perhaps lend a hand and browse their varied wares or give a little signal boost, that would be wonderful!

Anything helps, and being behind on bills is not a great place to be.
Thank you for your time!

- I do business via PayPal.
- Girls/herms/futa are strongly preferred. ヽ(^∇^*)/ ゜
- NSFW is totally okay. (Certain fetishes are not so okay, note me for more.)
- Highest base cost is $50, which includes a full body shot of one character, fully coloured and shaded.
- Lowest base cost is $10, which includes a bust of one character, sketchy or flat-coloured.
- Additional characters and lots of details and stuff can bump up the price. (●´A｀●)
- But I’m open to haggling, and I won’t charge you until you’ve seen a rough sketch you’re happy with.
- Check here for more in-depth information.
- Also, being an awesome Patron can net you a discount on commissions! (〃ゝ∇・)ゞ
