I wanted to make an open invitation to anyone that has an Oculus or plays a Township Tale. I have an open server and I I'm looking for fellow players. If you're familiar with it then tell me what your in-game name is so I can send you an invite or if you're not familiar with the game it is called a Township tale and it's in the Oculus store 4 $9.99. It's a Wonderful open world game with tons of different ways to play. Imagine stardew Valley but its first person and there are no NPCs and the whole town is run down and things need to be rebuilt and new areas to be unlocked. It's a load of fun and I would love it if people wanted to join my server.

Hey guys I've got some potentially good news


I know u guys havent seen from me for the past few months. Half of it was because I was at Breaking Point with how art load I had given myself. My beloved saw how much I was struggling and gave me reprieve by means of helping me get everyone's refunds put through. I had taken a few months to myself to just focus on my mental health and my physical health since I have a bad back injury.

Though when I was ready to return back to drawing I found that the rest have not improved my back. In fact I rather found it impossible to sit in a chair 4 enough time to do any proper drawing. Try as I might it just wasn't happening and after an assortment of different sitting positions purchasing special cushions piling up pillows and generally trying any means of making myself comfortable while I was at my desk nothing worked.

I took my hand at painting and I enjoy it but I just don't think it's a viable replacement for the work that I used to do. It's more time consuming it cost to resources and I'm going to be honest I'm getting paint all over my bed sheets


As of tomorrow I have a few things coming in from the mail which I am going to try to employ to make it so I can draw again. I'm relocating my computer tower next to my bed and hooking it up to my television. With a bunch of extension cords elevation pillows and a nice bed desk I'm going to try to work from bed now


For a little while I'm going to be getting used to it and getting back into the swing of drawing so I'm probably just going to start out with some sketches to get myself back in the Rhythm but if this turned out to be a comfortable alternative to work on my desk I might be back to drawing


Can't wait for everything to come in the mail and to get this setup. I feel like this will also impact my nearly vanished online presence.


I want to thank my beloved Above All Else. For giving me a new lease on my life. 4 giving me the time to heal and lovingly supporting me without question. He's made all of this possible and I cannot express how amazing news. For a long while you guys have watched me spiral and I know I didn't look good there for a while. But since I've been gone I can honestly say I feel immensely better. I haven't been having depression episodes. My anxiety has been pretty minimal and I really feel like I can greet each day again.


I love you tickle. And can't wait to draw again

I'm planning on making a few classy portraits on 11x14 canvases


I'm taking a few. Each slot is $50

I will take particular designs on a case by case
If you are interested, post refs below and I may pick you

Anyone active in ark here??

I have a tribe that really needs people.


SANE people.
Seems almost everyone I've recruited from ark has been a psycho


Looking for active players who will follow the tribe rules and contribute

if yall have been watching me since the beginning, you know that my entire time as an artist on FA has been quite the undertaking. ive been an artist since i was a toddler, acumilating stacks and stacks of papers with drawings, but when i got older i just..didnt have the time i suppose. art was a hobby , i always had a binder with me and a pack of tools. but after my car accident in 2018, i started going downhill. and eventually,after i deteriorated past employability, i took up the pen once more but this time out of determination to keep making a living. cue in the furry community.

i started out on "thefurryforum". a humble little community where i started my first ever "buisness" in art. sure ive done commission before, but this was my first time really setting out to make it into sometime substantial. i flourished, and fast. everyone wanted a hand drawn peice made, and mailed to them. work was flowing, and it was good.

but i needed to grow out further. i was living in an appartment with my boyfriend at the time. and i didnt want to be a financial burden so early into our relationship. so eventualy i branched out, and came to discover Furaffinity. which was going to be the biggest boom in buisness i couldnt even had imagined. i was never without a customer. each and every day id get up. get online. draw, and make that earning i so sincerely needed. it wasnt "full rent" kind of money, but it was work, and it was mine. my turnout period was "done and posted" within 3-7 days. a neverending flow in of orders, and flow out of peices. it was laborous because it was all id do every day, but determined to carve out my place in the household. my stamina for art seemed like a endless fountain that came from a endless reserve. it left me with little time for other activities, but at the time i didnt think it mattered since i enjoyed my work. and i definately think due to my history of child abuse, i felt a constant need to justify my existence with labor.


things were fine for a while. except till they stopped. i was pretty much suicidal and on the brink before i met my ex husband. without going down that whole story, it eventualy came to us getting that appartment. he was great for a while but people like him....men like that. narcissists. sociopaths. they cant keep up the veil for long. long story short, he slowly revealed himself to be a monster. cruel and sadistic.he worked me to the bone with my art...there was no waking moment that i wasnt sitting in my chair, drawing for people. he repeatedly made poor money choices, and expected me to pick up the slack. he knew commission work meant i could take in hundreds of dollars worth of work on a moments notice and get him cash. regardless of wether i had the time for the labor. it was always things i couldnt say no to..."200, or i cant drive to work"...."400 or we cant make rent and were gonna be evicted"..."300, or theyre gonna reposess the car". it was always things i couldnt say no to. and who even knows if he was being honest, he swindled money from our roomate as well.

i was in over my head. i had taken on so much art projects, i was drowning. i was in absolute dispair, with no out. i couldnt stop taking more buisness, but i also couldnt possible catch up.i was in an impossible loop. i could finish one peice and 5 would take their place. my mental health steeped deep. i was cutting myself in secret. i was suicidal again. depression. and i developed a intense and harsh anxiety disorder. i had very manageable anxiety beforehand but with the work, and the emotional abuse from my now husband. it had become all consuming. panic attacks, multiple times a day. trigger or no trigger, panic would course through me. my daily obsession was learning to read his body language...his voice..any lilt in how he talked. read how his eyes moved. anticipate his moods and anticipate things that would make him angry. if i was cleaning or working he couldnt yell at me right? he would pick fights knowing my history of abuse would make me an easy and weak victim... that it would be effortless for him to control me.by the time i finnaly came to the decision i was going to leave him, i had to make the impossible into reality. i, a crippled woman in her 20's. with no family, no assets, no car, and nowhere to go. had to find a way to leave what was going to become my death if i didnt leave.

i took to selling absolutely everything i owned of any value. im sure you all remember me periodically selling my things here. i didnt have much to sell, considering most of my things i had already sold to make ends meet. i sold my pets, i sold my reptile breeding inventory (i had aspirations of being a breeder). i told him it was all because art buisness was getting slow. but i was secretly stashing the money for my getaway fund.

but i did have to keep taking commissions. else how else was i going to keep up the charade. i had to keep making money else he would wonder where the money went. i put myself into an art debt that to this day im still backed on. 5 years since ive left him and i still have backlog. i left my husband, was tricked by someone who i thought was my friend, and i ended up broke and alone in some motel in missourri. i knew nobody in the state. but i was fortunate and a relative i barely knew was apparently local and they came and rescued me, and took me back to maryland.

where i came to live with a friend for a few years. i was fortunate that an affordable rent rate was offered to me. 200 a month, and nothing else. i still had to take buisness, but from 2015-2018 i lived there and i worked. i had accumilated so much art debt, i was swimming in it. and i think it was around that time i was finnaly feeling it...the burnout. the weight of all the labor and work i had done to keep myself afloat. since i was no longer in a life threatening place, and no longer struggling. it fell on me all at once.

the years of hurt...of work...of betrayal and backstabbing. of neglect and malicious torment. all of it was finnaly spilling out. decompressing on me. it was harder to get out of bed..it was harder to pick up my tablet pen. to boot up the computer. i began to be tired of my art, but still. i felt a duty to finish each and every one. after all, my credibility as an artist was all i had. i could squirrel away little bits of funds and try to refund small projects here and there but at the end of the day. i had a mountain to climb.

by this time though...i was already so deep into art debt, i felt like i was never going to get it all done. i felt like everyone silently judged me. that all my watchers secretly thought that i was a lazy. that they were growing to become sick of me and my excuses. in my head, i felt like i had lost all credibility. that the least i could do was give the people what they were owed and hang my head in shame that it took so long. id lost the pride in my art for some time now, all my art feels like now is this obligation thats hanging over me. that im a fraud. ive grown to hate myself.

the last couple years though? has been me wringing the last drops of artistic ichor out of myself. that im not even present in my drawing anymore. that its just a mechanical motion im going through. i would even go so far as to say i almost dont like drawing anymore.

im sure youve all seen that my output has slowed to near non existance on FA the last year. i just....dont have anything else to give. im empty. the depression, telling me that everyone hates me and that im only redeemable if i can just get the art done, that isnt even enough to get a pen in my hand anymore. my marrow has been sucked dry. i took many breaks from art, but ive finnaly come to the conclusion that a break just isnt going to cut it anymore. i need far more than what a break can offer me.


i need to love art again.

and ive just been strapped up into this art machine for so long, i dont love it anymore. art, has been the essence of my being. my soul, for as long as i have existed. so loosing my love for art is paramount to near death itself. and i just simply cannot offer you whan i dont have. im done. im all out. my art well is bone dry.


i need to find a new art vein within me. i need to back up from the commission life that has devoured me whole. i need to nurture it and let it grow with my own personal inspirations. i need to nurse a new bud into bloom with personal arts and my own imaginations.

it may be a year. it may be two. it may be five. but im officcialy. not, taking commissions anymore. at all.


i need to feel alive again.




-im not leaving FA. but from now on, all content will be my personal art-



(anyone who has art owed from me, reach out to me. and ill add you to a refund list. my precious and beloved darling of a mate is helping me wipe away my debts and giving me a new start. im refunding everyone.)

long and short of it. i have a ganglion cyst in my drawing hand and i accidentally slammed it on my car. now my wrist hurts to articulate, so im gunna be absent from my computer till either it heals, or after i can secure the surgery to remove the damnable thing


:/

thats why i poofed. i figured i should tell yall why ive dissapeared

so ive been getting back into ARK recently and unfortunately its just me by myself. i dont know anyone running servers or anyone able to play with me

i DID have someone interested, but i simply dont have a spare ps4 laying around to host a server for the two of us so


i was wondering.

are there any small tribes on PS4 looking to add a new player?? cause solo is fun and all, but i always enjoyed the teamwork aspect of it all




hit me up if yall want me in your server on your tribe

so with my art slaving slowly coming to a close, i wanted to post what im doing for next month



first thing, out the gate, i got a "slipped through the cracks" commission im gonna do immediately.
secondly, i owe a WIP to someone.
thirdly im gunna make a few stickers for a client

then i plan to make a couple bonus peices to my artslave buyer because ive had to take a few off days due to a cyst in my wrist.


then after all that??


im making brand new adopt bases
as many as i can make. for all of september i know it already sounds like im gonna be busy with the other things, but ive adopted a new work pattern thats allowed me to get honest work done, and get proper bedrest for my back.

i plan on making male and female werewolf bases

im considering male and female rams

thinking about male and female sabertooths

POSSIBLY some reptile ones,





and also. since im not sure what everyone wants to see

comment what kinda bases YOU wanna see me do. i wanna make as many bases as possible, because october im planning on either doing another artslave, or more fast turnout coms for 7 people

since ive had this happen on more than one occassion. im going to leave this here






If we have ever had a connection, but I cut you out because you add nothing positive to my life.

If i barricaded you away from me because you were abusive or toxic.

If youve done something repugnant and i vanished in thin air.





DONT. try and sneak back in my life.
DONT. try and bypass the barricades ive put between us.
DONT. have a nostalgia moment later on and decide to "hit me up" later.
DONT. think you should try harder and push my boundaries.
and jesus christ, dont pretend to be someone else to get back in.


and for the love of fuck, dont think time withered away your sins.


Ive more than payed the price of repeated forgiveness in my lifetime. and ive spent way too much energy on your garbage.
if i hated you then, im probably gonna still now.


i dont want you lurking and watching me.
this is my space, dont pervert it with your presence.

i bought the right to make my own quite a while ago, but honestly i dont think ill ever get around to designing one let alone actually using it.

i purchased the bundle that permits 1 rare attribute.

im selling it for $35

And now I'm back.

Me and my mate thoroughly enjoyed our time together. We made the most of my birthday week and then I bid him farewell. I took an extra couple days after he left for some bed rest to let my back recuperate.

After some bed rest and some electrotherapy I am ready 2 get right back on the sketches for everybody.♡

I am now back to work as usual.

after 5 years of trying to erase my mountain of work i took on, i decided that im just going to refund people, and start fresh.

ive not posted much art the last year because honestly? the seemingly neverending load burnt me out to the point i had no confidence in myself to go on.


so this year, i decided im starting fresh. and most everyone has gotten their refunds. im pretty sure i cleared out everything, but i want to be sure i have no stragglers that ive forgotten




if i owe you art still, contact me please
I want to officialy open my commission this year. and go back to my 7 slot limit i origionaly had. because it was the maximum efficiency for me.




so if i owe you. this is my final callout. my last journal of asking.



hope to rebuild my reputation within the FA community, bring in new watchers, put out satisfying buisness and just go back to the good days when i had a 2-3 week turnout rate


1 -  Cipher-Raid - $15

2 -  Taloverae - $120

3 -  xDamonWolfx - $120

So for the longest time I've been using Sparks hair dye on my hair to get the brilliant red shade that it is. But they have discontinued their current line of colors and they no longer make it so now I have to find a new brilliant thot red dye and admittedly I'm having trouble finding one that is bright. I looked around a little bit and either they aren't bright enough or they are cheap and I want to put good quality product in my hair.


So if anyone dyes their hair red or use a brand that carries a good read give me suggestions down below. I need to touch my hair up soon because I like to do it at the same time as I cut my hair

There's this really sad looking gentleman that I pass by every time I go to therapy and he's always sitting there holding a sign asking for work and God bless. Now I know God isn't going to put food in his belly so I've decided I'm going to head over to the grocery store and grab them a meal and maybe some other things. I'm doing this out of my own pocket but I thought maybe if I made a journal others may be willing to throw cash my way so I can buy him some socks some non-perishable food and maybe just give him some cash.

My paypal is artemis_zuurenkai[at]yahoo.com

Just send it and I will make sure it all gets to him
If you can't send it today I doubt he's going anywhere. And I can make a special trip some other day but if anyone has literally any amount of money spare I'm sure it'll make his day

I'm going into Walmart right now

A good friend of mine who lives in Kentucky is about to lose their home.

His landlord found out that his husband is trans and the landlord being extremely religious and transphobic has said he will not renew their lease on March 1st. They are frantically looking for a new place to live but due to credit errors no one will accept them.

They are employed. But they need to find somewhere to live.
They currently live in Louisville and Shelbyville would be their biggest preference but if anyone living in that area has any kind of renting opportunity to offer or know someone that would, please please message me. They have not many resources to pull from and I don't want to see them end up homeless.
