Hey everyone~! <3

I promised I'd make a journal post about this a while ago but I've been so busy with course work that I just haven't had time ;_; Nevertheless I'm still here and commissions are open for anyone who wants them!! My commission info is here, please tell your friends and (even better) commission me to do you some art!!

Basically the context is I'm pretty fucked in terms of money and my bank account is currently in overdraft at -£450, I'm saving money where I can and trying to find little jobs here and there but if you could commission me that would be amazing and incredibly helpful!

Thank you for reading, love you lots <3

Hello all of you lovely people! <3 I'm doing okay, uni's been taking up a huge chunk of my time over the past few months so I've been away... but I do miss you all and I always want to draw so here I am ;w;

I have been working on unreferenced art and I'm getting much more confident with it, which I'm very happy about!! If you feel like giving me your two cents I submitted two or three pieces recently - as always, I'd love to hear your comments ^.^

Also, if any of you have the time, throw some suggestions at me in terms of what I can draw - can be very generic as in species, or more specific things! Bear in mind these aren't strictly requests so I can't draw things tailored to everyone, but if there's something you'd like to see more of in my gallery, please let me know <3 Comments or notes is fine, whatever you're more comfortable with!

(P.S. If I really like your fursona or one of your OCs I might even draw them, with your permission of course!! No promises though x.x)

It's been a while since I've spoken to any of you so please feel free to comment or shout me or note me or anything! How are you all doing? Hope everything is well with everyone ^.^ <33

Some small updates on what's happening with me:

As I mentioned on my most recent wolf studies, I've been doing some tough warehouse work for a while to try and cover my rent... it's hard being a student ;_; But my stint at the place is coming to an end so hopefully I should have more time to myself to paint now! After all the work I've done I've seriously considered opening commissions... I know I'm not that great yet but do you guys think it's possible? Obviously I'm not looking for huge income or anything (I wish I was that good ;;;___;;;) but a few commissions here and there? Again I'm pretty new to this whole thing so I wouldn't even know where to start, but I suppose I can figure that out once I've made a firm decision.

But yeah, let me know how y'all are anyways! I haven't really made any plans to meet with any of my friends because I've been so busy, so it's been a pretty lonely summer for me... It'd make me really happy to be able to talk to some of you guys a little bit!! ^_^

<33

Is it too rude to ask for a promo? I'm so close oh my godddddd ;_; I'll post some more art later today and see if I can hit those magic numbers!! -dances around frantically-

Let me know if I've missed anything really important out ^^" I've had two lines of text there for like a year so hopefully this one should be a bit nicer!! <33

I'm still relatively new to this whole unreferenced art thing, so I'm still trying out a variety of styles and tools and processes to get to grips with everything. In the meantime, my gallery is gonna be a slight mixture of different styles, as it is now - bear with me, and I'll settle with something soon! ^_^

As always, love you all! <33

I'm putting rough practice sketches into scraps for now just in case anyone wants to see them! Everything I upload there is going to be very quick and rushed, nothing but repetition sketches to help me learn - and I'll periodically try to clear it out so there isn't a load of awful art buried on my profile ^_^"

First of all, massive apologies to all of you who watched me when I first started here - I shortly left for quite some time and I feel like I let all of you down somewhat :( I hope that you can find it within your hearts to forgive me and stick with me? I'd love you an awful lot <3

Now that I'm back, I fully intend to produce a hell of a lot more art!! As before, there are still very few people I know on FurAffinity, so please feel free to approach me or talk to me or comment on my work or WHATEVER - I'd love to interact with and get to know you all a bit more~! <3

Much love to everyone,
Mellie ^^
