i also haven't had any takers on my adopts or ychs - the price reduction on them is permanent so it's not as dire, but i'd love for my lil dudes to go to nice homes and to do some cute YCHs!

i did the thing other people are doing since the muskrat keeps ruining xitter

So, as of about now, I'm going to be taking a break from commissions until January! The reason being so I can help my fiance with work on his game full-time for a month and a half and get as much as I can done for him while it has my full attention... and to avoid art burnout, as I was starting to feel it toward the end of my queue.
I'll still be around and might post some art - I need to submit the last few pieces from the last round of commissions after all - I just won't be taking commissions from the end of November all through December.
If you'd still like to monetarily support me in the meantime, I do have a Ko-fi you can send money to! I have enough in savings to get through the next month and a half, but it would be good to have extra to be able to get some Christmas gifts for my family.
See y'all in January when I open back up! Have a lovely holiday season! <3

Just wanted to update everyone to know that I'm planning to upload all of the back art I've accumulated tomorrow and Tuesday... I'm bad at keeping my galleries updated, but I figured here I should keep it somewhat up-to-date!

AND I'm still open for commissions! I have 7 more slots left and will be finishing the remaining commission in the queue tomorrow, I'd love to draw more things for you all! <3

I'm in a really bad financial situation after taxes completely decimated my savings, so I'm giving my commissions a little boost ;w;

I have slots open for every listing of mine and am willing to take projects outside my listings as well - just contact me with your idea and we can work something out!

FINAL UPDATE: I have just placed an order for the plush, and our goal has been met - actually exceeded! Thank you so much to everyone who donates, you have no idea how much your support means to me. I'm so excited to see my baby immortalized in plush form <3

Our cat, Molly, passed very suddenly on December 7th, 2022. As a way of keeping her with us as long as we can, we wanted to commission a custom plush of her, as she was a very unique, beautiful cat, and I want to immortalize her beauty in as accurate a way as possible. We've set up a Ko-fi fundraiser to help be able to afford it.

Any extra money we get that is not used on the commission will be going to things for our other cats, a scrapbook, and physical photos.

We appreciate any support for helping remember our baby girl. 🧡🐈

UPDATE: I'd be willing to do small sketchy headshots for donations if anyone would be interested, and I can likely get them done the same day as the donation (if not then within two or three)!

i typed this in a comment to someone, but honestly i feel like this deserves its own post because i don't want younger, more vulnerable artists to make the same mistakes i have

i was just recently part of a pretty large fetish community and took TONS of commissions of it, and within the last month, i rebranded to get away from it and start anew completely sfw. the complete disrespect for boundaries, casual sexual harassment that's so completely normalized i've become desensitized to shit that everyone else i've shared it with has said is creepy and unacceptable, and the sheer selfish entitlement of these people to just ask whatever artist they come across (even underage ones) for whack-off material is absolutely infuriating and a massive part of what made me quit drawing nsfw/kink for public consumption, even though taking commissions for it made me a ton of money. it was destroying my mental health, and while yeah, i'm probably not going to be as profitable as before, i feel so much better knowing that i no longer have to put up with that toxic environment and disgusting behavior.

do not ever be afraid to set hard boundaries - that's INCREDIBLY important for young artists, especially in this day in age. remember that the block button is there for you to use as liberally as you want - if anyone comes to you and makes you uncomfortable, you don't have to put up with it. block whoever you want, make your spaces safe for you.

don't ever let anyone pressure you into what to draw. you do what makes YOU feel fulfilled. if other people like it that's just a neat bonus. stick to your guns and never ever let anyone ever tell you you're a prude or no fun for not drawing what THEY want. fuck them. do you art for YOU. there's endless amounts of porn and weird fetish shit online, they won't die if they don't get it from you specifically.

and if kink and porn is what you like drawing? awesome! go hogwild! fucking slay! but if it's not, don't feel pressured to just because people ask you nicely. you have every right to tell ANYONE no, for whatever reason. period. keep strong and stand up for yourself no matter what, or people WILL take advantage of your willingness to please and run you completely ragged trying to make everyone happy. do what makes you happy first and foremost, and anyone who says otherwise can fuck right off forever. ❤️

ALSO! if you get mad at this journal or feel called out, you're probably exactly the kind of person i'm talking about, so if this makes you feel attacked, please take some time to self-reflect on why 😌
