Sick
General | Posted 3 years agoSo, I've been sick for a week now. My body decided to let me down at the most inopportune time. Although if you think about it, it was a matter of time. I get sick very often. This is the third time in the last 1.5 months, but before that I was lucky and it was all a mild cold. The accumulated stress took its toll.
At the moment I am taking antibiotics because the usual medicines, sleep and rest did not help. (I try to avoid taking antibiotics, because I believe that the body must fight the disease on its own and this makes the immune system stronger. But apparently my internal reserves were depleted and they were not enough. So that's how things are).
I hope to finish at least some orders before the new year.
I have no strength to apologize already, and I have no power over nature.
So I just ask you to take it with understanding.
What about work schedule:
As soon as I recover, I will continue to work on orders, so everything remains unchanged in this regard.
December 31st and January 1st will be my first days off in a few months.
This whole year has been hell hard. The next one will likely be even harder. I still think I don't deserve even a one day off. However, my health says otherwise.
Rest yourself and don't disturb me these days, please.
The rest of the time I will be actively working. Remember, I never cheat and value my reputation. And I always do my job with high quality, no matter what. I hope your wait will be worth it.
Thank you for your attention.

I'm on Tumblr again
General | Posted 3 years agoSomething has been scaring me on Twitter lately O_o""" I don't know where this all will lead, but I'll be watching.
I used to have an account on Tumblr.. But I gave it up, I don't remember why.
I decided to remember the past. For now, I plan to put the best of what I have there. And then we'll see.

I'm closing Patreon and switching to Boosty!
General | Posted 3 years agoI have already notified all my Patrons on Patreon about this.
But here is this post in case you are my Patron and didn't see the notifications.
⁛☆ My Boosty ☆⁛
If you are not my Patron, but want to support me, YOU ARE WELCOME!!
There will be a lot of interesting things, and I also designed my account very beautifully ^^ Check it out!
Also, starting with a ~ Medium Herbarium ~ subscription, you will have access to my private Telegram Chat, where I will also post additional NSFW content (I can't post everything on Boosty, unfortunately)

General | Posted 3 years agoIt was very long and hard but I managed to raise the amount I needed, thank you very much to everyone who supported me!
I remind you that you can follow the queue here:
⁛✦ Order queue on Trello ✦⁛
I will try to complete all orders as quickly as possible and deal with other stuff and payment issues.
About Patreon
Most likely it will have to be closed permanently.. I don't know.
I'm still thinking about what to do with it. I will either completely switch to Boosty (Where are some incomprehensible rules about NSFW and I still don’t understand how to behave there), or I will find an intermediary for Patreon, or I will start a closed telegram channel..
I also considered the option of making an OPEN telegram channel where I will upload all the processes for free, and those who want to, can support me with a telegram bot or another donation platform that I have yet to find. I really don't like paywalls and I'm bad at self-promotion.. But I really want to share many things with my audience.
What do you think? Suggestions?
Generally, I am thinking about enlisting the support of a telegram bot and accepting payments and donations on it. But these are all questions that I will solve as I have free time.
In any case, see you in March!
By the way, I try to be a little more active on twitter, follow me:

General | Posted 3 years agoHello again!
I remind you that I am open for ANY KIND of orders! Commission Info and Price List
And for sergals too!! (You will not believe, but so far not a single sergal has approached me for a commission, what an irony lol)
One or two more orders and I can breathe a sigh of relief and get back to all my duties stress-free!!!
The deadline until which I can receive payments without problems is December 5th. (If we use Payoneer)
And November 29 is the last day when I can accept payments or donations on Buymeacoffee! https://www.buymeacoffee.com/lynxwolf
(The reason is that withdrawal from BMC is possible only on Wednesdays. Next Wednesday is November 7th and I don't want to risk possible withdrawal problems and delays)
At the moment, out of the planned 3500 euros:
Collected - 3300 EUR
Still need - 200 EUR
I almost managed to collect the entire amount, I am incredibly happy about this, thank you very much to those who placed the order! I won't let you down, I promise!

Important and urgent, please read!
General | Posted 3 years agoBad news! (and when was it different lol)
If you don't already know Payoneer sends users from Russia to all four directions, so I only have time until December 8 to earn money and get it without headaches and fees.
I need a "time buffer" in order to find an alternative again. I protest as much as possible against working with Boosty, they have an inhuman commission for the service and I see constant complaints about problems with transfers etc.
So here's the plan.
I am collecting new commissions on an emergency basis. Keep in mind, I will start working on them only FROM NEXT YEAR!
I have a few unfinished orders that I have in priority until the end of this year.
I'll be honest, it's a "sink or swim" situation right now.
I need to raise about 3500 euros to survive the next few months and not go bust with the business that my husband and I just started.
Things are not going very well so far, we have notably gone out of the budget due to circumstances that could not have been foreseen in any way (If any of you have ever tried to do business, I think you will perfectly understand me).
We need some time for development, which is sorely lacking. In parallel, I need to finishing the previous orders and keep helping my husband. We try our best and make the dream come true, it's very hard, but I believe that we can do it.
But I really need your help here and now!
I don't have a price-list on Carrd anymore. It was for an annual subscription that I can't pay now.
Therefore, I made a new one! I tried to fill it in as much as time allowed.
So here you go, check it out: https://sites.google.com/view/lynxwolfart
ATTENTION!! I process any request and offer, whether it's on the price-list or not. I am always ready for a discussion and take a responsible approach to my work.
AND NOW I ACCEPT EVERYONE. Yes, yes, SERGALS too! No you didn't hear wrong! So, you can open wine and champagne hahaha.
Be sure to share this post wherever you can. I'm ready for anything, honestly.
To order a commission, just write to me in telegram (https://t.me/lynxlynxlynx) or e-mail (lynxwolf.qe@gmail.com)
I have very very little free time right now, so don't be confused if I don't answer you right away. I will process all requests I receive as quickly as possible.
Remember, the last day you can make a payment via Payoneer is December 5th (let's play it safe and take the 5th instead of the 8th)
I once again apologize to my customers who have been waiting for their work for a long time, I am doing my best to give you your treasured pictures as soon as possible! I thank you for your patience and understanding!
Have a nice day/night!

Info | News
General | Posted 3 years agoDear customers!
Most likely I will delay most of the artworks for a month or two. But I promise to do everything before the new year.
I don't even have time to post what's already done here. (But I always mark all progress in my Trello)
I'm just showing that I'm alive and I'm not going to disappear anywhere.
I apologize that I don't write to each customer personally, I have very limited time. I hope you see this message. If needed, you can always ask questions in person, but please note that I can be slow to respond. But I will always answer.
The fact is that for the last month and a half I have been helping my husband with the business (we planned all this for a year and a half, but the circumstances were not in our favor). But now we are in the active phase, because there is no way to wait any longer. It's a lot of work and takes up all my time. Sometimes you need to prioritize. And when it comes to family, that's my №1 priority.
And yet, the last week I again spent in bad health. The amount of work and responsibility I do every day takes a toll on my health in one way or another, but I don't really have much of a choice. There is only hope that everything will not be in vain.
I hope for your understanding and thank you for your attention.

here again
General | Posted 3 years agoOh.. I'm here again. It is unlikely that anyone noticed my absence, but still.
A short summary of what happened:
I again went with my husband to another city, he needed an operation on his leg. He did great and the operation was a success.
But right after that, we got very seriously ill with covid. We spent the last week and a half in bed.
We are already okay, but we still need some time to recover.
We've almost run out of money and as you can see, I could not work at all all this time.
But I will gradually return to work mode now.
I have 4 orders left to finish. But I will be able to do it at best by the end of this month.
I have not received new orders for a long time, so if you were planning to order art from me, now is the best time. You will help me a lot.
The only problem is, I had absolutely no opportunity to revise the price-list, so it is still not available for viewing. I apologize for this and hope for your understanding. You can contact me by e-mail or telegram, at the moment I calculate the price individually.
I will accept ANY kind of order, whatever your heart desires. Just ask.
Everyone who is already waiting for an answer from me, I will try to answer in the coming days, I hope for your understanding.

It's not necessary, but it's really important for me to get feedback from my customers in order to earn a reputation among the community ^^
Thank you very much in advance!
Onko ketään suomesta? | Anyone from Finland?
General | Posted 3 years agoI don't really believe that someone will respond here, but I hope.
Anyone from Finland, especially those who emigrated there, can you answer a couple of my questions?
(If you are from russia or former ussr countries and speak russian, it would be great to hear feedback from you as well)
1) Where are you from? And when did you emigrate?
2) What difficulties did you face in the process?
3) What did you do and do now? (job, hobbies, etc.) (If you are engaged in IT, then write only if you are freelancing. IT is a completely different world for me, which does not meet my "mundane" requests.)
4) Does the language barrier bother you a lot?
5) Useful links, any other interesting information?
If you are a Finnish native, maybe you can give me some feedback too. Maybe you have some interesting story in mind?
1) What advice would you give me as an expat?
2) Where do you live (if it's not a secret) and how do you rate your standard of living? Is there a strong difference between the standard of living and the city of residence?
3) How do you and your surroundings react to expats?
4) Perhaps I could talk to you in private? I don’t want to impose on anyone, become friends instantly and so on. But I really could use any help, even if it's just a conversation.
I've been studying Finland as a country for a long time, but there's still so much I don't know.
As far as I know you guys drink a lot of coffee :) You have interesting architecture and you respect the heritage of your ancestors. You are the people of few words and love practicality.
(If that's all true, that's literally a description of myself ahaha)
Also, as far as I know, you have programs to help emigrants. But getting support, especially if you're from an unfriendly country like russia, is probably not easy. This is what scares me the most. Especially in the current situation, when we have been isolated from the whole civilization, and the consequences and various restrictions due to Covid have not yet disappeared. I don't even know now if I can cross the border at all.
In addition, I have big doubts that the country needs a regular artist as me and a potential coffee businessman as my husband hahaha.. Maybe I'm wrong?.. What is the guarantee that if we can't find our place here, we can find it there?
But besides plans, determination and some knowledge, we really have nothing else.
Refugees, for example, have a certain status, right? One way or another, they live in peculiar communes. But I am not a refugee and do not plan to be one (although from what side to look at it, of course). In any case, I have the dignity and desire to become a full member of society and not live on handouts from the state. I think it's dishonest if you're healthy and have a head on your shoulders.
Next comes the text with background and why I created this chat. You may or may not read this. This information is provided for context.
I have been dreaming of living in Finland for many years and I am planning to emigrate in the next 5 years.
I will not go into details why I give myself such a long time for this, first of all this is a very serious process that requires a very balanced decision. And for some reason, we either do it until July, or only after 3 years at least. If you understand, making such a big step this summer is craziness.
5 years is the time for my husband and I to be able to collect all our shit together, deal with all our problems and documents (and possibly close the mortgage), instead of running away from the country with bare asses. We do not want to be a "ballast" for the country, we want to come and immediately begin to be useful, as far as our capabilities will allow.
At the moment we are actively learning Finnish. I find the Finnish language very entertaining and not difficult, given that my native language is russian, but I haven't had time to learn much yet. Anyway I try my best as always.
A few words about me and my beloved one:
We are pretty young and independent, we are both 24 years old(10 years of which we are together), and if for a russian person this is almost old age, I know that age is not a hindrance for Europe (at least I hope and console myself with this :,)) )
My husband works as a barista and is well versed in everything related to coffee. He has many years of experience in the field of catering and relevant education.
I am, as you know, an artist. I have a specialized education and I live only at the expense of commissions at the moment. I also have an interest in interior design and 3d modeling. I dream of getting a good higher education and developing my skills further.
We are the most ordinary people, without any connections and with broken relationships with our families.
We are on our own in this vast world, but we try to do everything honestly and hardworkingly. So russia does not at all look like a place where we could realize our abilities. Everything is cursed here - from small to large businesses, the relationship of people to each other, families with families.
I believe it could be different. But not now and not in russia.
And I don't want to spend most of my life waiting for "better times", I want to LIVE now.
I hope that you can understand me.
We planned to emigrate either through business or through studies. In fact, business is a priority, because we need to be sure that we will not be left without money, and I will not be able to provide the two of us with money only by drawing orders, as I do now.
I know that in some educational institutions a scholarship is required, but I am not sure exactly how much this amount is necessary for life.
In the future, We want to get into some universities, when we will establish our life more or less.
That's probably all, for now.
If you have any questions for me, feel free to ask, I will try to answer.
I'm sorry if this all came out chaotically, I'm very worried to ask such serious things.
Anyone from Finland, especially those who emigrated there, can you answer a couple of my questions?
(If you are from russia or former ussr countries and speak russian, it would be great to hear feedback from you as well)
1) Where are you from? And when did you emigrate?
2) What difficulties did you face in the process?
3) What did you do and do now? (job, hobbies, etc.) (If you are engaged in IT, then write only if you are freelancing. IT is a completely different world for me, which does not meet my "mundane" requests.)
4) Does the language barrier bother you a lot?
5) Useful links, any other interesting information?
If you are a Finnish native, maybe you can give me some feedback too. Maybe you have some interesting story in mind?
1) What advice would you give me as an expat?
2) Where do you live (if it's not a secret) and how do you rate your standard of living? Is there a strong difference between the standard of living and the city of residence?
3) How do you and your surroundings react to expats?
4) Perhaps I could talk to you in private? I don’t want to impose on anyone, become friends instantly and so on. But I really could use any help, even if it's just a conversation.
I've been studying Finland as a country for a long time, but there's still so much I don't know.
As far as I know you guys drink a lot of coffee :) You have interesting architecture and you respect the heritage of your ancestors. You are the people of few words and love practicality.
(If that's all true, that's literally a description of myself ahaha)
Also, as far as I know, you have programs to help emigrants. But getting support, especially if you're from an unfriendly country like russia, is probably not easy. This is what scares me the most. Especially in the current situation, when we have been isolated from the whole civilization, and the consequences and various restrictions due to Covid have not yet disappeared. I don't even know now if I can cross the border at all.
In addition, I have big doubts that the country needs a regular artist as me and a potential coffee businessman as my husband hahaha.. Maybe I'm wrong?.. What is the guarantee that if we can't find our place here, we can find it there?
But besides plans, determination and some knowledge, we really have nothing else.
Refugees, for example, have a certain status, right? One way or another, they live in peculiar communes. But I am not a refugee and do not plan to be one (although from what side to look at it, of course). In any case, I have the dignity and desire to become a full member of society and not live on handouts from the state. I think it's dishonest if you're healthy and have a head on your shoulders.
Next comes the text with background and why I created this chat. You may or may not read this. This information is provided for context.
I have been dreaming of living in Finland for many years and I am planning to emigrate in the next 5 years.
I will not go into details why I give myself such a long time for this, first of all this is a very serious process that requires a very balanced decision. And for some reason, we either do it until July, or only after 3 years at least. If you understand, making such a big step this summer is craziness.
5 years is the time for my husband and I to be able to collect all our shit together, deal with all our problems and documents (and possibly close the mortgage), instead of running away from the country with bare asses. We do not want to be a "ballast" for the country, we want to come and immediately begin to be useful, as far as our capabilities will allow.
At the moment we are actively learning Finnish. I find the Finnish language very entertaining and not difficult, given that my native language is russian, but I haven't had time to learn much yet. Anyway I try my best as always.
A few words about me and my beloved one:
We are pretty young and independent, we are both 24 years old(10 years of which we are together), and if for a russian person this is almost old age, I know that age is not a hindrance for Europe (at least I hope and console myself with this :,)) )
My husband works as a barista and is well versed in everything related to coffee. He has many years of experience in the field of catering and relevant education.
I am, as you know, an artist. I have a specialized education and I live only at the expense of commissions at the moment. I also have an interest in interior design and 3d modeling. I dream of getting a good higher education and developing my skills further.
We are the most ordinary people, without any connections and with broken relationships with our families.
We are on our own in this vast world, but we try to do everything honestly and hardworkingly. So russia does not at all look like a place where we could realize our abilities. Everything is cursed here - from small to large businesses, the relationship of people to each other, families with families.
I believe it could be different. But not now and not in russia.
And I don't want to spend most of my life waiting for "better times", I want to LIVE now.
I hope that you can understand me.
We planned to emigrate either through business or through studies. In fact, business is a priority, because we need to be sure that we will not be left without money, and I will not be able to provide the two of us with money only by drawing orders, as I do now.
I know that in some educational institutions a scholarship is required, but I am not sure exactly how much this amount is necessary for life.
In the future, We want to get into some universities, when we will establish our life more or less.
That's probably all, for now.
If you have any questions for me, feel free to ask, I will try to answer.
I'm sorry if this all came out chaotically, I'm very worried to ask such serious things.
Nobody will hear
General | Posted 4 years agoMy biggest fear has always been.. isolation.
I know the history of my country, and I have always been frightened by the circumstances of the past. What is it like? Living behind the Iron Curtain?
The very first association is a prison. And you - imagine that you do not exist. No one from the OUTSIDE thinks about what is happening to you INSIDE. They just don't care. And this is not an accusation, it's just a fact that I accept. And I would do the same, because I would be busy with my free (as far as possible) life.
And I was busy with it. But there is one small "but". I always knew that this could happen to me and my country, it haunted me all the years, when I gained my adult consciousness.
And now, when it's already happening, it's a nightmare for real.
Realizing that this could happen in the coming years, this accelerated me to implement decisive actions.
But I f*cking screwed up!
The most important thing that I DID NOT EVEN THINK about is.. isolation from the OUTSIDE.
This.. you have no idea how funny this really is.
Cancel an entire nation?? How do you like that, huh?
Twitter nervously smokes on the sidelines, you guys are dismissed!
Freedom and democracy they say? For whom exactly?
It is clear that every country must take care of its citizens, no doubt! But we live in a time of unprecedented globalization. In order to achieve the ALL prosperity of mankind, we need to work towards this ALL TOGETHER. You can't just take a huge piece of land off the planet and forget it exists! We need you, and you need us! Regardless of circumstances, religions, politics and squabbling over a piece of resources!
Earth doesn't care. It has no boundaries, it's a f*cking round BALL.
And if you can't come to terms with this elementary fact, and the fact that one way or another we HAVE to cooperate, then I don't even know.. Maybe you should at least think about it before writing another racist insult on the Internet, or forcing an entire company to close, leaving tens of thousands of people without income?
Maybe it's some kind of "multi-way"? A secret plan hidden from everyone's eyes? If the plan is to starve the Russian population into insanity, then it's a bad plan lol!
First - give us everything, cooperate with us, smile, and then TAKE IT ALL IN ONE F*CKING WEEK.
Refugees from Ukraine, refugees from Russia (who had the opportunity and have already done it), this is the price. Who will pay for it? Citizens of other countries? Is there enough space for everyone? What do you think?
As history shows, neither "democracy" nor the "new marvelous Russian world" bring people anything but destroyed infrastructure and death.
But who asks us, right? heh.
Success and a well-fed life lull vigilance. Have you ever, in your life, at least once, thought that you will have to cross out your "cultural code" in order to access a better life? If not, congratulations, you are happy person, please keep up! (no sarcasm)
I know that even in the most "well-fed" countries there are poor people, and the grass is the same color everywhere. But that's not exactly what I mean.
It's all about potential and opportunities.
The fewer of them, the sooner a person will leave their homes in search of a worthy fate.
This cannot be changed, we all strive to cover our needs. This is the key to the survival of our species. It's just another fact.
We have only just begun to recover from Covid. It was a worldwide shock. Didn't you suffer enough? I personally have had enough.
Russia is a long-suffering but multifaceted country. Here you will not find any single comprehensive truth.
But even in the circumstances in which we were, we strived for prosperity (by "we", so you understand, I mean ordinary harmless civilians).
I sincerely believed that our country would one day come to an independent solution to our "Dwarf" problem, if you know what I mean. It doesn't matter where I was at that moment - whether I managed to leave and watch from the "outside", or still lived here.
I wouldn't say that we didn't need outside help at all. But by "help," I didn't mean what's going on right now.
This is not help. It's the complete opposite of it.
I'm afraid to imagine what will happen if it drags on longer than a couple of months. This will be the collapse of a whole huge country. It's a thousand steps back. Those steps that we took with such difficulty. Each of us. Little by little.
This is the instant degradation and savagery of EVERYTHING. Consciousness of people, technology, business, trade, law.
It was not sweet for us anyway, but what will happen now?..
People will run. In their last pants with one dollar in their pocket, they will run.
There will be no more bloody revolution on a national scale. All our opposition is ordinary educated intellectuals. Violence is unacceptable for us. Are we too soft? Maybe. But is it really bad?
But who will be the first to grab a weapon? Do you know what kind of people they are? I think it doesn't need to be explained.
And for those who don't run away, what are the chances that they will be the right people who will be able to fix the situation?
History is cyclical, and if a whole country, especially such a huge one as Russia, is FORCED to change in an "unnatural" way, this does not lead to anything good. That was 100 years ago, and it will continue to be so.
Not everyone has yet realized the consequences. But unfortunately, when awareness comes, and the veil of anger falls from the eyes, the world will change forever by that moment.
Or not, Idk ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I ask you sincerely, do not write nasty things in the comments.
If it seemed to you that this appeal was PERSONALLY addressed to you, then it seemed to you :)

#StandWithUkraine
General | Posted 4 years agoI think everyone is already aware of the situation.
I don’t have the strength to do anything, I just sit in apathy, I need time to come to my senses, although I am physically safe.
I need to work and live on, I have a lot of orders and responsibilities, but I don’t know what will happen tomorrow and I can’t even eat. I eat, of course, don't worry, because it is necessary, but the food has lost all taste.
I worry that the whole world, because of some sick aggressor in our government, will take up arms against the Russians. I just want to gently remind you, just in case, that we are the victims of this regime, we DO NOT support all this chaos (although some of us certainly do, and it's disgusting).
Put*n and his hooker-dogs is not People.
I just want to live and take care of loved ones and not all this shit.. x_x
Direct your energy not to hatred, but to support and help loved ones. It's probably the only thing we can do for now.
I root for my brothers and sisters in Ukraine with all my heart. 🇷🇺❤️🇺🇦
Fuck war.
Sorry, that's all for now. I can't and don't know what else to say. I will disappear from social networks for a while.

General | Posted 4 years ago
What you should know about me now
I don't like to advertise my personal life, but I think it will still be important to state it as a fact. I have a certain responsibility to my customers, so don't take this as a complaint or a cry for help or anything like that. I can handle everything myself, so no worries! This year I took a strong hold on my health, because every year it got worse and worse and it’s no longer possible to endure, this began to greatly interfere with my Work and Life.
Although it always got in the way, I just constantly put it off or ignored it.
I went to the specialists yesterday and spent a huge amount of money ahahaha.. yeah..
Well it's worth it I guess.
At least I now have a clear plan of action and a bunch of pills to take with breakfast and dinner hehe.
My husband also takes part in all this, he also needs medical treatment for neglected and delayed problems for in the past few years. He has been working even longer than me, constantly on his feet, on a full-time basis since the age of 15. This is how things SHOULD NOT happen in normal families, but alas.
And his salary covers only the basic things for our existence. And this is NOT his fault, it's just how things are going in our country (spoiler: not in the best way). We also have to deal with this problem this year, because it’s no longer possible to live like this, I don’t have the strength and time to pull the two of us and at the same time help my relatives. I want to clone myself sometimes ahah.
All this does not alleviate the situation, it is an endless stress.
But I'm ready for anything for the sake of my family, this is the most important thing in my life.
All this is not terrible and it is not a disaster, if we look at it objectively. It's just life as it is and I accept it.
We don't have incurable diseases. At least for now and based on the information we got from the doctors. It's good news I suppose!
But this does not negate the fact that these problems SHOULD be dealt with and not aggravated.
We always find time for something good, and sometimes we have a little rest as well. After the doctors, for example, we went to see new spider-man movie ^^
Gotta get together, because it's a very thin line we walk on, we're looking for a balance between Life and Work, but I still can't afford not to overwork.
So, what I can say about work is that nothing will change in the near future unless some sudden popularity descends on me ahah and I can afford to raise prices to the extent that I don't have to work about 12-14 hours. Of course I could work 7/0 and be able to work 8 hours for a day, but.. heh. I don't think it's necessary to explain why I shouldn't do that.
So?..
Everything is connected, as you can see. But at the same time, I try to still treat everything responsibly, even more than before. I believe that with the right approach, I can succeed.
I just want you to know that behind each of my work there is a piece of some small story.
And I want you to remember that we are all living beings - thrown into this Big World without "vision" and the ability to stand on our paws.
And only after many years we acquire the ability to see, walk and speak, and accumulate our experience.
Nothing comes out of nowhere, everything requires responsible decision making and wisdom.
All these are obvious things, I know, but practice shows that people very often forget about this, or pretend to forget.
How can you help?
If you want to help me somehow, if you really like my work, just share it! I'm serious.
My conscience will not allow me to collect money from people just like that, I'm not dying, after all! :D I just put my thoughts here and ask for your understanding.
My opinion is that as long as you are able to work, you must take care of your life yourself. And no one else owes you anything.
If you don't agree with me, it's okay! :3 I don't claim my opinion as the only correct one. I also don't mind discussion ^^
"No!!! I WANT to help!"
Besides the fact that I have Commissions open in the usual mode and some things on my Patreon , I can’t offer you anything else!
Links to donations are made simply because I saw it from others and did the same, tbh :D
Use your money wisely. Perhaps tomorrow you may need them yourself.
Recent infoposts that I think you should also take a look at:
The problem of self-promotion
Why I no longer take orders for drawing Sergals
I also have a Journal for Customer Reviews ! I'm still surprised that I've never seen anything like this from other artists (If you've ever seen something like this, please show me, I'm interested!).
I think this is a very important part of our work - the ability to give our customers make feedback not only in private messages, but also publicly, given the widespread problem of scamming and irresponsibility among some unscrupulous artists (Hmm, I think I should make a post about this too someday).
There aren't many reviews yet, although I've served a lot, A LOT of people over the years. But it takes time for the customer, I understand that.
The FA Journal is convenient in that reviews will be stored there as long as Furaffinity lives. They cannot be faked in any way, and "hiding" messages can arouse suspicion. Therefore, you can safely trust these reviews and even write to people who left them with a question about their experience (but ask their permission first please!!)
⁛☆ I hope your day/night is going great and Thank You for staying with me! ☆⁛

🌸 Customer Reviews 🌸
General | Posted 4 years agoI decided to create this page so that you can leave feedback on the experience of working with me on your commissions.
I have never seen anything like this before with other creators, although I think this is quite important in working with clients. Especially considering how much deception and disrespect occurs in our Сommunity in the relationship between the Artist and the Client.
I do this not for myself and not for amuse my vanity, but for my future customers, who may not be sure of my reputation and/or had bitter experience working with other creators.
I VERY value my reputation, so I try to do my best to make my clients happy ^^
Notes:
* If you ordered several works, you can specify all or any of them.
* I value HONESTY, so it's okay if your experience was not very positive, based on that feedback, I can work on mistakes and improve the process of interaction with customers in the future.
Here are the questions that I ask you to answer (May be briefly, or you can deploy it as you like):
1) When was the artwork ordered? (year or approximate date)
2) A link to the finished work in my gallery or in yours (this is not necessary and you can also use links to other platforms)
3) Age rating (SFW, NSWF or both)
4) Type of artwork (YCH or Individual project)
5) Are you satisfied with the deadline for the finished artwork?
6) Are you satisfied with the quality of the finished artwork?
7) Are you satisfied with the process of communication with me?
8) General impression (from 1 to 10 where 1 is a negative experience, 10 is a positive experience)
9) Do you have something to add from yourself? (not necessary)
Thank you very much for your attention and answers, I appreciate it!
