Hello everyone ! <3

Firstly, I'd like to thank everyone for the supporting notes I got over my time away, and to my commissioners being patient ( As well as one who sent money and had to wait ! ) I'm blessed that you guys were so supportive and understanding, I was going through a very dark time but I made sure I recovered quite a bit before coming back here.

Also, please do NOT ask my for free art via a note. Ever. Even more so when I was feeling really horrible about life, literally just don't do that sort of thing to anyone unless they say on their page that they're open for requests. Us artists are not sketch machines for you to gain as you wish, we work hard every day and night for constant years to get where we are now, and if you don't think it's worth money then you don't deserve any form of art and should just stop pursuing any connection to an artist. It's rude, demeaning and selfish.

Now that rant is over, I'm hoping to get some YCH's done over the next couple of days alongside of my Badge Commissions, I may take more on soon enough so if you're interested then please keep an eye out ! It'll be first come first served. <3

Thank you all so much again, I look forward to making a good return.

Your Foxu,
Akiko.

I just found out that a dear family member has passed away after beginning to make a recovery in hospital
I don't think I'll be feeling much up to commissions, so they will be slow
I'm sorry, but I need time

If I'm up for commissions then you'll get a note, but please do not rush me.

I've had a long day of cleaning, and tomorrow I will be finishing off the YCH

I want to practice drawing different characters, no guarantee your character will be drawn

I'm open to any species since I want to practice

If I upload, feel free to put it in your gallery, no need to ask <3

These will likely just be sketches but I may even hand-colour some

GOGO, I'M NOT TIRED YET <3

Hello everyone ! <3

I'm finally back from my hiatus after finding out I completed this year of university ^-^

I wanted to see what you guys wanted to see from me? YCH wise and if you wanna' see more feral, chibi etc in my own art too- I'm willing to learn even more about drawing my own fursona as well as others, so let me know <3

I'll also be opening Art Trades I think, though I will stick to the rule of me being allowed to turn down someone at any given time, alright? So don't be mad or hurt if I don't take you on for a trade ! I'm going to draw some more before they're officially open perhaps, I feel as though I don't have enough reasonable examples yet. c:

So yeah, since my summer has started, I get more free time ! <3

Thank you to those who stuck around for my return and spoke with me, it means a lot, thank you !! <33

-Your Happy Kitsune, Akiko

Hello guys ! <3
I know a bunch of you won't see this but for those that may come on my page and hopefully people see this before I get any more notes. c:

Basically I'm very busy with my university work at the moment, I have to work on my first painting exhibition and get in multiple journals. My exhibition deadline is at the end of March where we will have people come in from galleries and such to view our work and talk with us. The mid/late time of April is my hand-in date so during the end of April I should be free until a week absence mid-May.

For those noting and asking about YCH's being posted, they will be posted ! I just need to wait for uni to be over. <3 I'll do some more of those kigurumi YCH's, and if anyone does end up reading this, post below what kind of YCH you would like to see me post ! And if you'd prefer Auction or Buy Now.
Stuff I'd like to relate for it:
`Kigurumi's [Onesie's]
`Baby Fur
`Galaxy/Starry Themed
`Sushi Cuties
`Bakery Cuties
`Feral
`Summer Themed
`Perhaps NSFW [Depending on what you guys want]
`Clothes Designs
`Cosplaying Cuties
`Group YCH pieces

I also want to learn more about species other than my usual but I will see about that, so freebies of characters that aren't like those I draw may be opened.



TL;DR
University is keeping me busy.
I won't be able to submit proper stuff until 20-30th April.
I will also have a week absence around 14-22nd May.
YCH will be posted.
List what kind of YCH you'd like to see.
Auction or Buy Now?
Freebies of characters that I don't tend to draw may be opened in future for practice.

ALRIGHT THEN.
Thank you so much for reading, I'll update you more on my life and adventures when I'm back and thank you so much for sticking with me and noting me about my art, it means so much.

Fox out.

Though uni is still undergoing, I may have time to sketch here and there, so if you post a picture of your feral character, then I may choose it to try and draw.

It can be as many characters as you wish, even your friends characters- Open for anyone to join, so let people know if you want to. There are no rules aside from no spamming or asking me questions. If I get anything wrong on your character then I'm sorry, you should give more detailed descriptions like personality or whatever if it's a problem.

Thank you and good luck ! <3

-Must watch me or else it doesn't seem fair;;
-Feel free to send me descriptions
-Send me as many as you want, even your friends ~
-Any species is welcome
-I won't draw every single reference, but you should already know that
