Lizzer life update (mostly good stuff!)
General | Posted 4 months agoHey everyone! :>
I sometimes feel a bit like a Life-Update hamster that hoards stuff worth sharing in their mouf for a while before spitting it all out at once haha. So this is going to be a bit of a mish-mash of things and I think most of them are good (and slimy?)!
Here is the short version:
1: Dolphy and I got engaged a while ago and will be married in 2 weeks <3
This will make a lot of the living-together-things waaay easier for us but otherwise everything is the same as now. (It's really just changing the label on the same thing lol)
2: We are currently moving from the US to Germany and I/we will have quite a bit more space for arts and crafts after that, planning to try out some cool new things <3
...but also that whole thing is very time consuming and very expensive rn, so please bear with me for a bit. We'll be in Germany on vore day and will be in a house full of nothing. It'll need much energy to set up c,: (but it's also kinda fun tbh)
3: I am well aware of the whole censorship etc. stuff going on rn and I have no clue how to properly act or respond to that. Tho it's a no-brainer that regardless of how bad things might get short term, I'll always continue making and sharing my smut with you in any ways possible. I think of it almost like those dark times during the prohibition, guess it'll be some sort of moonshine art in worst case lol
4: I'll be at EF again this year of course and look forward to boop y'all (again)! Meeting old friends and making new ones at cons is always my highlight or the year 💕
More detailed version:
1: It's been 10 years since Dolphy and I met for the first time through funny interactions in my comment section (if you dare you can scroll back through my time machine gallery haha). We ended up in DMs, then calls, then started to meet in person as frequently as possible- and that's how it all happens in summary :D
Of course, I would have never thought 10 years back then that I'd marry that dummy fish and we'd be living together one day. Even when we talked and clicked immediately, the distance just seemed impossible and I was always poor as heck to even think about doing travels like this, so we were not really labeling ourselves as mates at the time even if we kind of were. At some point though we did actually manage to start meeting and from there on it became a normal thing to us like all other forms of being-togerher. When I look back it's kind of crazy to think about how many things we've managed to overcome together during that time and much we became a part of each other's life to the point where marriage just became a no-brainer to us (which is good because we dun have many braincells c:).
Like said above, essentially everything is the same as always though, because it is. The way we've been together was always very organic and fluid, without requiring any labels of our status. We never even had an 'official' date or so. Even the 'proposal 'was kind of more like "If we don't get married, who else would marry us?" Kinda deal haha.
We've been together for so long that many of you only really know us/me in this state, so don't expect anything to change. We don't randomly introduce anything new to our lives by switching the status to "married", but it makes many things easier for us easier, like paper work and taxes and immigration and all that nonsense. It's also kinda cute tho haha
2: While I feel at home in CO and would have had no issues living there, we really prefer being in Germany, especially right now. As some of you know I live there with a really nice room mate and we own a house together that has 3 apartments, but our personal one is way too smol, and I categorically refuse to yeet people from their homes of course. So Dolphy and I rented a place near my work that is huge and very affordable. Plus, it means we'll only need one car. It's a bit of a double edged sword tho, because when any tenant moves out one day we'll have to move everything over again to my old place again ff-
The fact the whole place is empty will take a hek ton of energy to set up. Luckily I am on PTO til mid September rn and to be honest it's also really fun to set up a new place. (I just wished it wasn't so expensive y-y)
We are currently in Denver at Dolphy's sis place and are at this point done with everything to be ready, which was a huuuuge process. Still, there are always new things we don't anticipate and that punch the wallet in its dick real hard ff, like realizing the over sized heavy lugagge fees are 600 bucks each. Just to be clear, I don't ask for money (I never do), but if you plan to move from the states to Europe be sure to have a fat cushion of it haha. Dolphy and I been saving up for this and it took indeed a more than anticipated huge chunk out of that.
Getting rid of some things was in parts a bit sad, but also an opportunity. We kept anything that's meaningful to us and prioritized plushies and personal items over clothes for example. We ended driving a truckload of donations to our local charity thrift store and it's honestly kind of a nice to know peops will continue using stuff you owned at least. On to new adventures! c:
3: I think the short version already covers this thing well. We have this sort of "you can't have steak because babu can't chew steak" type situation. So us steak makers now need to make sure babus don't get steaks? I guess parenting isn't required anymore. It's really convoluted stuff and am not gonna rant about every detail, but I am proud to see actions being taken like the phone and email raids, kind of like a "fuck around and find out" situation for those companies. Like I also said above tho to me it makes no difference in terms of how I'll continue making stuff. The financial loss blows if it happens, but I worry more about the full time artists rather than me if the worst case scenario happens (I work a "normal" job). I'll be optimistic tho and say things tend to pend in somewhere in the middle eventually in my experience. Currently the swing is extreme, but we already see forces naturally pulling the other direction and we are part of those forces. I believe it'll be like the prohibition or so, where it'll be a mess for a while in worst case but then goes back to letting people be people again.
4: EF will be awesome as always, really excited!! <3
Also as always am not gonna do any sales or so, but will make fun (free of course) doodles for you if we meet and have the time for it c:
The reason why I go to furcons is having fun with friends who I rarely see all together, not worky stuff. If you see me there, feel free to squeeze and hang out, am always happy to meet peops I know and new ones 💕
I might not be able to reply to you peops immediately rn since we are mighty busy as you can imagine. But I wish you all a great weekend! 💜

Very glad about the tag blocking feature ♥
General | Posted 11 months agoI was always a fan of a more "bottom-up" approach, where the users can decide what they wanna see or not, instead of the "top-down" where staff makes up rules for what content is passable or not. This kinda feature helps a LOT and makes me (and I imagine others) feel more comfortable posting the more "spicy" arts, too. I'll still keep writing in the titles, if the artwork has something 'extreme' like digestion and/or disposal in it, but at least peops who blacklist those will know why it's blurred and are not forced to look at the thumbnail.
That said, of course I'll keep accurately tagging my arts for you and I hope others will, too~ ♥
I believe it's a great step forward for more future features, like a more accurate tagging system or custom placed spoilers. Hopefully we'll be able to also hide certain blacklisted contents completely instead of just getting them blurred.

Happy 2025! ♥ Review & Preview
General | Posted 11 months agoHey peops! Hope you all have a happy new year <3
I honestly always feel a bit hesitant to write these kinda journals, knowing not everyone had a super good year. But I sincerely hope that you have a great new one with either things staying nice or improving for you!
As always I like to give a short review and preview for 2024/2025, for those interested. If you read my journal to this point tho and feel too lazy for the rest, lemme wish you a great day already! :>
2024 review & 2025 preview ===>
Like last year this one's been overall positive for me actually. I had a great time Dolphy
again especially and am really excited for what the future will bring us. We also went to our first together-furcon in summer, which was really nice, even if the con was kinda smol and the vore-community was extremely under represented haha. Too bad he wasn't there for EF tho. I always reaaaally love that con and this year was particularly awesome to me, meeting many old friends, making new ones, super fun activities. Next year is already booked btw, so I'll be glad to see you all there, if you can make it! :D
Work wise I finally managed to secure a fixed position with a 66% part time contract, allowing me to get enough "basic income" that I can top off with art. The start was a bit rough, hence I didn't post quite as much in the middle of the year. My goal is still to fully commit to being a creator of things, but it's not easy doing so with my current financial obligations (=expensive :y). To meet this goal in the mid-future tho I forged a solid plan that I think can work out. I hesitate to go into detail since am always scared things don't go as planned. I kinda like to bite before I bark, if that makes sense haha, but so far the other things have worked out, too, so am positive.
In the same spirit, I wanna shout out a HUGE thank you to all those who've supported me the whole time, be it through Patreon, commissioning me, donating to my funny art pack, or even 'just' sharing and liking my things. You have no idea how much it all means to me. Am always really happy making things and engaging with our fun community here ♥
Art wise I tried exploring new drawing methods this year and will continue doing so next year. Part of that lead to the "discovery" of how to animate stuff and am super happy that many of you seem to love em. Unfortunately they take stupidly long to make, like about the equivalent of 7~8 paintings for a 50~60 second animation from my experience. So please bare a bit with me when am not posting as much while "cooking" one of these bad boys. There is another vore animation in planning stage right now that am really excited for ♥
This type of work load was also part of the reason tho why my queue moves slower than anticipated, since a few initial painting requests turned into animations instead. I will use this as a guideline for future queue estimates, maybe just doing 1 per queue and limiting slots to 10 at a time. There is very likely going to be a new round of comms this year~
That's it from me! Again, hope you all have a super lovely day :>

Info: Moving from Twitter to Bluesky entirely~
General | Posted a year agoHey peops! ♥
Hope y'all doing great! I have a good, even if slightly busy rn, but also wanted to tell you about a small change.
Short summary:
=> Am no longer using Twitter and might lock it down at some point, but won't delete it
=> I'll use my <Bluesky> account like I used my Twitter account
=> All links to Twitter posts on my FA and Telegram channel have been changed to the according bsky posts
For peops who like reading:
I've never expected to do this one day, but I will actually discontinue using a websites am on. I think I am fairly tolerant even if things in a place don't go all that smooth, especially when it's unintentional and there is a will to fix it. But to me, Twitter is doing the opposite and has vented too far into the territory of calculated maliciousness, operating on sole financial greed and the crazy visions of an insane billionaire. My educated guess in the current situation is that they know the AI farming is a big push factor for users, hence why monetization was introduced as an attempted pull factor, along with many other actions that make the whole experience more and more sour to me. It feels like a well played game of attempting to boil frogs alive by slowly turning up the heat and I no longer want to stay in that pot, Of course your choices are entirely up to you and am not judging anyone for staying there, but to me personally there is no soul in this website left.
I do appreciate the friendly interactions we had there and am sure they will continue in any other place. I'd feel irresponsible to keep on posting there with the knowledge that all your and my characters and arts will simply be scrapped to feed some nutjob's virtual bastard child. Since anything I have on Twitter is already in the data base and also because I don't want to give up my user name for potential misuse (a concept we saw happening), I will keep my account there, but will lock it down at some point to not have to maintain the daily bot-spamming.
Also, I made a ToS upgrade guaranteeing you that I won't be uploading your art on websites that harvest pictures for AI generating learning machines or claim them as their property in any other way and would wish you to do the same hence forward. As funny as it would be to see this thing trained on vornos and such, it doesn't feel rightful at all and I have a feeling it's not gonna improve from here on on.
On a positive note Bluesky has been a more fun experience than Twitter to me so far and I have not much issues using it the way I did with Twitter before. You probably notice am not a super extroverted person, but reading friendly interactions on my and other people's contents really makes my day. I appreciate you good peops very much ♥ I use these places mostly for posting my stuff and liking other peop's things and talkies. On Saturday I will also post a new vore animation there as well as the other places of course.~
That's all! Have a sweet day y'all <3

Where will you be most of the time during the day/s?
I feel most attracted to arts and foods, so watch for those sources haha.
What/where will you be eating?
It's Hamburg, it's the German capital of food places here! I'll be spontaneous with friendos~
Can I come with you for food/fun/etc?
If we have a nice vibe, sure ♥
Can I take your picture?
Aaa rather not xD
Can I look in your sketchbook?
Yes!
Can I draw in your sketchbook?
Yes! And don't feel shy about it, even if you've never touched a pencil before haha. It's all fun ♥
What's your goal(s) for the con this year?
Be with friends and get to know new lovely people, meet & boop ♥ The best opportunity to get together~

Happy nyu yee 2024! ♥ short review & wishes
General | Posted 2 years agoHey there, peops! Hope you have a happy new year ♥
2024 will mark my 16th year in the furry fandom, oh my gosh. And honestly I've not regretted being part of the fandom even a single day. The amount of openness and love I've experienced among many peops is not something I had experienced outside of it very often to be honest. It's where I feel at home and well ♥
2023 was a positive year for me overall. Some significant events for me were my long summer visit with Dolphy, even though I was a bit impaired from my stomach surgery still, so we couldn't do a whole lot besides playing games and such haha. A big thank you to 
theodorejaguar too, for helping me move my stuff around the airport, since I couldn't lift heavy things.
I generally visited a couple of friends this year, new and old ones, and met especially many at EF, although sadly I could only attend for 1 day. However, next year I'll be there again, this time for the whole weekend and I'll also attend to EAST, a smaller con at the former site of Eurofurence where I will potentially bring Dolphy along with me. It will be our first con together, aaa~ ♥
Even if I feel like over-thanking sometimes, I wanna shout out a big one to my Patreon supporters who continued to be fantastic this year- and very patient while I worked on those 3 stupidly work intense animations haha.
But it's not really just about the financial support, even it helps me a lot. I really really appreciate that all you folks, Patrons or not, take your time to show your love for things, be it verbally or otherwise. I am always really flustered when I read nice comments and I can tell you that a lot of other creators or commissioners I talk to feel the same when you show them that you love their contents.
If there's one wish I have for 2024, it's that we continue to show appreciation for one another, be supportive and loving ♥ I believe that many issues in the world wouldn't exist if all had a mindset like this.

Some questions about SubscribeStar & similar platforms
General | Posted 2 years agoHey there, peops! Hope y'all doing well ♥
Recently I got a lil displeased with Patreon over a few points and wondered if SubscribeStar or anything similar could solve these issues.
Here's what happens:
[1] - I finished an animation recently, but because it took well over a month of me only working on this one, I decided to give everyone a free month. However, turns out no one can join while billing is paused for some reason, but I also don't wanna undo the pause of course. So now peops gotta wait til December 28th to join, which makes me hesitate to yeet out content to public that advertises my page without being able to join it. It feels like everyone loses with this weird set up.
[2] - The 8% fees plus fees to withdraw plus the ridiculous conversion fees feel like a mini-scam to me. I feel very discomforted about this policy, even if the amounts are not astronomical.
[3] - I wanna make at least one monthly sketch raffle for everyone subscribed, but Patreon explicitly warned me not to do that, neither on Patreon nor a platform connected to it (=Discord)
Here's what I wanna know, but couldn't figure out:
[1] - When you use the vacation mode setting on SubscribeStar it pretty much does what Patreon does. However, is there a way or a different platform to have the ability to let peops join while the page is on pause? Maybe am dumb, but the idea that someone joins and gets billed, then gets subbed at least for the paused period + the month after it doesn't seem alien to me.
[2] - I know the fees on SubscribeStar are lower on paper, but are there any fees am not aware of that add up to the same silly amounts or is it as transparent as it advertises?
[3] - Can I host raffles on SubscribeStar?
[[4] - Side question: How does SubscribeStar feel about rather spicy vore content? :V]
Thank you for your help! ♥

How are you traveling?
By train! The con is just 1h from my home with a direct connection~
How is the best way to find you?
I'll be reachable through Telegram and just wiggle around here and there all day ♥
Are there any panels you might be attending?

Stuff going on!
General | Posted 2 years agoHey peops ♥
hope ya'll doing well! It's been a while since I updated you on stuff happening, but there are some things worth knowing right now. Since I am lazy to read long journals, I'll not make you do the same, so here's a short update and then you can read more into detail down below:
1: June has been bonkers busy at work due to many unforeseeable constellations of crap happening at once. On a more fun note though am also working on a longer animation, so overall there hasn't been much updating in terms of content, but there is stuff being done.
2: I had a tummy surgery on Friday, but am slowly recovering. I can sit and do stuff at my desk for a limited amount of time already.
3: Am changing my work place in 2 weeks, which means I will no longer be at some crappy work home during the week with poor internet and mobile hardware, yay. That means being able to VC and art/stream more~
4: As always I'll be with my fishboifriend in summer ♥ This time I'll have some mobile art gear with me, so on days when Dolphy works I can also do some stuff- unless I just silly around with 
Rakota too much again haha. Patreon and anything else will be paused during this time.
5: I'll be at Eurofurence in autumn! But sadly, only on Sunday. I can come to Hamburg on Saturday though, too, for some pre-con stuff~
More details!
1: You know that feeling, when you have everything planned out perfectly so you have a stress free schedule but then all stupid happens at once? That's kinda how it was haha. I had 3 very work intense tasks at work that I had laid out in a way I could do the first in April/May, the second in May/June and the 3rd at the end of june, but then some work peops decided that it's more convenient for them to postpone the 2nd thing into June and blocked all possible dates for the 1st one with crap (seniority yay). So I ended up having all 3 tasks within 3 weeks in June, which I managed, but it was insanely taxing.
The good aspect of this though was that after April I was like "Hm, got nothing to do now, let's do something BIG". And I ended up learning how to 2d animate as you see haha
2: I'll spare you the details of what happened, because you sure don't wanna know all the stuff that can happen with your body without warning. But they had to slice me open like sashimi and stitched me back together on Friday, so now I have a long incision across my belly. That means I cannot sit upright very well and mostly just lay on my back with my legs angled, but it hurts less and less every day. So far today I can sit at my desk though when leaned back, which is nice. They say I'll be good enough to do normal things in a week and be perfectly fine in 3- which is also when am going to Dolphy haha ♥
3: This might be the current change in my life am happiest about, but also a bit sus. I generally like to stick to things I know how to deal with and am low-key worried my new work environment might be not as fun. The colleagues at my new place are overall closer to my age than at my current one, which means they will probably wanna talk and engage more. With different generation colleagues around me it's easy to pull myself out of that social screen play, since they usually leave me be. I hope it's just a wrong estimate, but this is what I think about the most, apart from the usual inconveniences of needing to relearn how everything runs and who does what again with what competence. There are many benefits to the work place change though.
4: I rarely talk about very private things, but if you or your friends feel attracted to someone who lives far away, maybe our story could also encourage you to, you know, 'just do it' as that youtube guy said.
Dolphy and I always had a really close understanding for each other and just matched in a way I can poorly put into words. Due to the long distance and our ties where we live, we didn't really think that dating could work between us. Over the years though, the attraction was gradually breaking up this feeling to the point where we couldn't resist anymore and went like "You know what... let's just do it and see what happens!". And after some more inconveniences (=covid+my big exam), we finally met last summer. I am not an imaginative person when it comes to these things, I like to rather experience reality, but we clicked very quickly. Not like those odd romantic cheesy movies, but very real.
The feeling of distance has just dissolved since then. We hang out digitally whenever we can and I have enjoyed every single moment together, doing whatever exciting or calm we enjoy. In the past I was worried about traveling long distances, but I have grown completely opposite with this feeling in mind. I am happy about the journey and really excited to be together in any way that we wish to. It's too soon to talk about things we'll do in the future, since like I told you, am not very fantasizing. However, whatever those ways will be, I frankly don't worry about anything anymore.
I know that for everything in my life that grew dear to me that had obstacles, there was always a suitable solution. The idea of "I cannot do x, because y will hold me back later" is merely a negative fantasy that should be discarded. Am not saying this will make something automatically easy of course, but when you get rid of that negativity in mind, other forces are free to exert their magnetic pull that slowly and steadily crush and displace the obstacles in between. What I am wanting to say in short is, it's worth to not let negative thoughts be that force that holds you back from what you feel attracted to, let the attraction happen.
5: I am very much looking forward to finally meet up with peops at a con again after so much time aaa! Unfortunately I need to work during the week, but I'll be at EF on the first day (Sunday) to meet and greet you there hopefully <3
I am curious how EF will be. I think Hamburg is a better place than Berlin, but the location has no con hotel, which if I were to stay there for multiple days would be a big drawback for me. Since I have a train connection from my home straight to the con though (roughly 1:30h), maybe it would be fun to already meet some peops on Saturday, if you are in Hamburg a day earlier haha.
That's all for now! Hope you have a great week :>

To Itaku users: You can find me there, too!
General | Posted 2 years agoIf you use Itaku, you can find me here:

I don't plan to move anywhere, but the website seems really nice and well thought through. It's also the only proper art website where degenerates like me can share animation videos, which will be important since I am working on more of that stuff right now. It would be great to see it grow ~

Commission pool!
General | Posted 3 years agoHey peops! Hope you have a nice week so far 💜
As promised here is the commission pool! I tried my best to get a good mix of different themes and tiers, peops I wanted to draw since long and total strangers, but it wasn't easy. Rather than "picking some cherries" you sent me a whole basket full of them and I ended up flipping coins for many slots, because it was so hard to decide c-c". In total you sent almost 60 forms and only 1 was a "no" (and against the ToS haha).
Because there was so much interest, I stretched my rules a bit for you and made 15 slots instead of 10-12.
Thank you so much for your interest! I'll also keep my promise and not pick the same people next time, if possible! So don't delete your form in case you want to re-use it next time 💜
Here's the list in alphabetical order:
1. Cane-McKeyton
2. Cookie
3. Emberfluff
4. Flaps-Dragon
5. Galelai
6. thirdspurs Gyrobirb
7. Kelilan + tarro~

The first commission batch will start in January! :D

A big thank you and commission opening info!
General | Posted 3 years agoHellu peops! I hope you are doing great ~ ♥
First of all, let me say a BIG thank you to all who've supported or still support my arts through any means, especially through the last couple of months! Patreon has really helped making me a lil more independent from other incomes, hence why you see more arts now than at the beginning of this year! Yes, this is thanks to YOU! 💜
It also makes me really happy to see you enjoyed my recent free old arts art pack. A few of you have been really generous with their donations there and I would love to thank you personally if I could, but it's somewhat anonymous haha, so of course feel included in the mentions here! :D
If nothing odd happens I will open commissions this weekend between Fri 2nd-Sat 4th December! It's odd to say, but last time I 'officially' opened commissions was in 2015 haha. Am not kidding. So in other words, I have to experiment a bit with what's a good way to manage these types of things. I want this to be a stress-free experience, like art always is for me, so I want to avoid long queues and still be able to draw my personal arts in-between, but at the same time keep things transparent for you. My idea is:
1. You fill out a commission form (that I already prepared)
2. I will pick out ~10 of you at a time to create a pool based on the posted ideas that I also enjoy the most [you can provide multiple]
3. I will raffle 1-2 peops out of this pool whenever I am ready to draw you, so the queue will be small and random and your art will be started immediately [if you cannot pay at the time you get raffled, you just get 1st in queue on the next raffle automatically, dun worry!]
4. Once all ~10 are done, I will open commissions again. If you weren't picked last time, you can participate with the same form, not needing to fill it out again. The next 10 people will not be the same as the previous ones, if possible.
I'll post an up to date price sheet and a link to my TOS and all that on Friday. I hope this sounds good for you and if there any questions/suggestions, feel free to comment ♥
And as always, have a lovely day! :>

Friendly reminder about reposting my stuff
General | Posted 3 years agoIf you wanna repost my things on pages with a crediting system like e621, please only upload things from my main gallery here on Furaffinity (not scraps, not old/alt accounts) and do so in moderation. Thank you!
If you peops have the time and energy, feel free to request a takedown if you come across scrap doodles, I dunno how the system works sadly :x => My knowledge was increased thanks to you! :D
And as always, have a lovely day! ♥

Launching a "softcore" Patreon~ ♥
General | Posted 3 years agoHey peops! ♥
If you always wanted to support a kinky lizard and get an insight in my art making, consider joining my brand new sticky shiny "softcore" Patreon! :>
I wanted to launch it on 8/8 but I guess the check-up peops of Patreon were otherwise busy that day pff.
~"Why do you call it "softcore" Patreon, stupid lizard?"
It's my personal preference that my arts and stuff always stays accessible to everyone, no paywalls~
It's "softcore" in the sense that instead of me locking artsies away as Patreon exclusive, I rather want to provide something more than my usual galleries. See it as a high resolution gallery of all my art places combined, all the WIPs, sketches, studies, etc.. Whatever I post on FA, Twitter and Telegram from this day on will be there in the highest resolution I can provide. On average I make about 1~2 paintings per month and a few presentable sketches.
~"...And that's it?!"
...Yeh wait, there is more ! :o
If you want more than just supporting lizzies, I will share with you my drawing thoughts and techniques by making little step-by-step (SBS) videos each month of my paintings! Click on my gallery here to see if a SBS is available. To make it more useful to you, the tier includes a discord access where you can ask questions about all SBS vids! :>
On the highest tier you get a monthly refined sketch of up to two characters of your choice! [The slots are currently full tho, eep!]
~"K then! Where is link?"
Hop here! => ~clickyclick~
If you have any questions, feel free to ask! ~
(( ALSO beware of the stinky US$: My currency is EUR and Patreon has greedy conversion fees- Luckily they are simple to avoid! Once you select a tier, choose EUR as currency and then Paypal handles conversion instead. It saves you about ~20% rn ! :> ))
That's it! Let me take this opportunity to thank you once again for all your support in general, too! You guys are the best! <3 And I don't simply mean your financial help, I mean it as in all the fun and love you bring me and the community in general by engaging with people's arts, sharing, just, well, having fun with them! It's all I can wish for and I am really happy about our little big vorny community ♥
And as always: have a lovely day! :>

Summer vacation time! <3
General | Posted 3 years agoHey lovely peops!~ ♥
After more than 2 years of F I finally got the time for a proper fun summer vacation!
I will be in Greece first, which is something I do all the time anyway, but then I visit imdoinflipsnlsh for the rest of the month which will be super ultra mega awesome aaaaa!! <333 It's the first time we meet for realsies, even if we hang out digitally together all the time.~
It wasn't possible during my busy traineeship+covid restrictions. Even if it never affected our relationship, it didn't feel nice to be forced apart like this and I am sure many of you made the same experiences. So yeh, this vacation is really really meaningful to me and I am so looking forward to it! ♥
There won't be much activity from me during that time. Maybe some doodles or so on my Telegram channel, but no bigger thing, just so you know.~
If you have any cool plans, too, feel free to share in the comments if you like, I would love to hear them! If you have to work, I still hope you will find some lovely days to enjoy!~ <3
I'll see you all again at the end of July! :>

The good news (=moving back home)! ♥ + Plans
General | Posted 4 years agoHey peops!
First of all: Happy (late) new yee to you all! ~ ♥
I am sorry for having been so ultra quiet, but I've never been as busy in my life as during October-January this time. Here's the good news tho: It's finally over !
After 2 super hardcore years I finally got the part time job I spoke about before and will move back home in 2 weeks to get my life back. Before I blabla too much here, I will give you a short, informative version, then a personal one, for the more curious ones of you.
Short version:
I just passed all exams forever in my life and immediately got a job offer for a nice part time job. This means I can now not only digital art again, but my full focus can be art for ~3-4 days a week! <3
I will elaborate a scheme that balances out personal art with commissions, but I am not quite sure how yet. My assumption is that it will be similar to now, where I draw commissions for things that both you and I enjoy, to get the most joy out of it. There are some online forms I liked, where a commissioner makes various suggestions and the artist picks one for example. If you have ideas, feel free to share! :>
Long version:
When I said "2 super mega hardcore years" what I meant was that my life was really, really shitty haha. But the goal was too important to just quit.
Ever since I picked up a pencil my dream was to art freely and see awesome ideas come to life, have fun with people who share the same interests. Art is love for me. But because it was difficult to support my life while arting, I had decided to do a career path where I can work not too many hours, but will still be able to support my life. The problem is, I am just a stupid lizard pff.
Some of you know that I was sweating blood and tears regularly, especially for the last couple of months. The worst for me was to not be able to art digitally or much traditionally, either, which turned the plan kind of ironic. I didn't talk about it in detail, because it would have not been useful to whine. Afterall, I chose this path on my own and felt immensely responsible to finish what I started. Since October I didn't take a single day off work, I was just working and studying and doing other preparations every day from morning til night, sometimes very late night. The exam was "Live or die" in a way.
Now I didn't tell you this either, but you only get 2 chances for this exam and last time I tried, I failed it. I was ready to give up and do something else, because I felt like there was no way I could do it. I was so far from meeting the requirements despite my greatest efforts. I felt that doing my best was all I could ask myself for, but since I got another chance, I couldn't walk away. A lot of people told me to stop when I worked myself to my breaking limits, but I couldn't do it, because I felt like I would only blame myself if I didn't do my best. On my exam day I slept for a whole 2h because I was so nervous haha, but add the adrenaline rush when you wiggle all day before a committee and it somehow worked. It was the worst and the best day of my life. When the committee announced my results after 6h of examinations (no joke), I couldn't and still can't quite believe it. The feeling of being free after 9 years is so intense. On the same day I got the contract I talked about since forever. It's like getting my life back suddenly and I am quickly recovering from the most stressful phase of my life.
So what does this mean for you? I now work 3 days a week and a little bit at home. I get 3 months of vacation a year. So, I can almost <FULLY> focus on practicing and doing art now. No exams, no other studies. Those 4 days a week I will fully dedicate myself to art, friends, games and whatever else is fun. In 2 weeks I will move back home where I can do digital art, so no more weird pencil drawings (unless I feel like it lol). I also got some oil paints and want to attempt to learn doing something with that. Once I move back to my home, you'll see me stream a lot more again, like I used to during the holidays and such, when I had time and didn't have to hang out at my crappy 1-room apartment.
There will be some sort of commission scheme that I didn't fully shape out yet. I also think about a Patreon/Subscribestar that doesn't do anything but a lil support. Don't worry, there will never be "exclusive" content or something like this from me of course, that's against my motivation in art that I just told you about. But maybe I could also show you a thing or two when my skill gets better and I know what the hek am doing haha.
That's it from me! I hope you have a nice day as always! ♥

A lil update on life & why traditional art
General | Posted 5 years agoHellu peops! I hope you all do well ♥
To get quickly to the point: Some have been wondering why I suddenly do paper art. I explained it in past journals, but I wanted to clarify it for those who missed it and give a lil life background.
Currently I live at 2 places at once and I cannot move my bulky hardware stuff all the time, nor do I have anything mobile to art with such as an iPad or so. I hesitate to buy one, because I dun really need one and it's also planned that I'll get one from my work (=college, but they never do what they promise lol). So right now I can only do digital art during holidays and long weekends when I am at my "actual" home.
Unfortunately I cannot change my work place right now (bound by contract),but if all goes well, I can finally leave it next year in May AND go part-time where my actual home is (=> it didn't go well and I will go home in Jan. 2022 for good haha). I am especially excited for the last thing! I hope you understand and bear with me for a while. The good thing is, that finally I do more anatomy studies and you'll get to see some unusual arts, haha.
Thank you for reading and have a sweet day! ~

Raffle winner (Faluma#1) ~
General | Posted 5 years agoThank you all so much for participating! ♥
To be fair with 48 participants the chances were a bit slim. Maybe next time I should raffle something "smaller" but for more people, because of course there will be a next time!
Congrats to
Faluma for winning the raffle! ♥
For those not on my Discord server: I made 4 rolls. First was a test roll and then 3 more actual ones just in case someone doesn't respond. They were #1, #34, #15.
Have a nice weekend people!~ ♥
