Financial Update: June 17th, 2025
Posted 5 months agoHi, everyone. It's been a long while since I had updated folks here about my finances. Things have... Let's just say, gotten slightly worse.
For some reason, my parents bought me a Switch 2 from Target and it's supposed to arrive this Thursday, so that's cool...
But overall, my commissions are going to stay open for the time being, but I have two I need to get done before I officially accept any others. You can send ideas and do brainstorming in the meantime, but just know it's be a week or two 'til I get to said commission.
My family is unfortunately holding my funds from Social Security hostage, even though it was designated to be mine and fall into my bank account. They believe I need to earn the money through trust and chores over the next 5 months or so, since I'm heading back to Honolulu this November for my cousins' wedding.
This sum of money was about $5,500 USD and I literally cannot access any of it, because my parents believe I can't handle money on my own, which is infuriating because I have to earn MY money.
Commissions will 100% help me out at the moment, so I could really use the support.
PayPal is out of the question because they charged me for a subscription service that I haven't used in years... So about $280. I had sadly been overdrawn on my checking account from that, but thankfully we got that sorted.
I'll post my Ko-Fi and GoFundMe here:

Returning for 2025
Posted 8 months agoHey, everyone. I'm very sorry the fairly large break between posts... I needed some time to recollect myself.
I'm am currently in a big art mood as of the 23rd of December and am in search of folks who would like me to sketch (and maybe digitize) a character of yours having gobbled Ulu, or in the process.
Digestion can be implied, though.
As for the title, I am going to post a decent amount of art I have drawn over my break, so expect some art from me throughout the week, and expect artwork to return normally now!
Thank you all for being patient!
DM me through notes here, or on Discord if you'd like me to sketch something up aaaaa

Struggles - Updated
Posted 9 months agoIMPORTANT UPDATE: I'm not entirely finished with art altogether. I just am not going to post here for a bit.
If you'd like to see my art, find me at https://bsky.app/profile/mixelsink.bsky.social
Morning, everyone.
Can I be honest?
I'm probably going to refrain from posting my artwork anywhere online from here on out...
It doesn't feel like it's helping me that much, and my career in art is fading away day by day...
Doesn't help I'm struggling with family conflicts; verbal and physical, along with having literally not a penny to my name...
I'm sorry, but I think my time as an artist has come to an end...
Peace...

Socials! 2025
Posted 10 months agoHowdy, everyone! Been noticing a number of folks watching me here, and that means a ton! It encourages me to keep my art career going, (even though most of it is vore related), through even the family issues and stresses around my house.
In return, I'd love to meet some of the new folks through Discord! Apologies if I have asked this multiple times, but I enjoy interacting with others and getting to know them better!
This doesn't mean previous watchers can't send me friend requests of course, I'm open nearly all day, every day because doing art commissions is essentially my job right now.
Hang in there, everyone, and here's to hopefully a better year.

Christmas 2024 Plans
Posted 12 months agoWell, it's been a good while since my last depressing journal... Don't worry, this won't be sad.
I've been meaning to say that I'll be leaving for Hawaii on December 15th, stopping in Portland, Oregon for two nights, Hawaii for two weeks, then to Las Vegas, Nevada for two nights, returning home more or less on New Year's Eve.
And since it's been a while, I also wanted to say that I am working on a massive holiday project for all my friends around the globe.
There are currently 50 different friends who are in the project already, and I'm always willing to add more, in case I missed anyone.
But I digress, the full, completed project will be posted on DECEMBER 1ST, 2024. So if you'd like to be part of something spectacular, give me a buzz through Discord or through notes here.
Have a wonderful Holiday season, and I'll see you all again in 2025 for more submissions and activity!

Spreading Lies
Posted a year agoSo... I received some news from multiple sources and friends that certain people, who have NEVER commissioned me before; are saying to avoid commissioning and avoid all contact with me...
What. The. Fuck.
I've been in a huge drawing mood recently, and if you're spreading false information about me as an artist and a person, then of course my art mood is going to die off...
God dammit...

Emergency Commissions OPEN
Posted 2 years agoHi everyone. Got some generally good news. I'm only $140 away from reaching this new goal and earning this new laptop for myself.
Emergency Commissions are now open, and I'm hoping to earn the laptop before the 25th.
Any commission would greatly help and move me closer to the goal, so... If there's an artist you've been looking to commission, I'm your guy, and I'll do my best on whatever you'd like. Just know I've got a very unique style, and I don't do anything NSFW or human related.
Any amount helps, thanks!

Update: 5/24/2023
Posted 2 years agoHi everyone. It's been a bit since I've created a journal discussing this kinda thing.
For starters, my number one goal right now is to purchase a new laptop that's currently on clearance for $650, with a 3050 NVidia RTX graphics card and a free one year warranty. This means now that I'm only about $150 away from being able to buy it, and I'd like to do so before the sale ends by late June.
Commission prices remain the same, check the previous journal for pricing.
Secondly, I apologize for the lack of submissions lately. I've been stressed by my parents nagging ad rushing me to get a job. Art hasn't been flowing like it used to because of my anxiety about finding and keeping a job. There has been multiple attempts and my brain just keeps doubting myself and preventing me from showing up for interviews, let alone the first day of work... It's extremely frustrating and I'm literally wanting to punch my brain over that because my anxiety is so high. It makes it nearly impossible to keep a job and my parents are currently not helping with the way I'm being rushed to find a job. I really want to do the applying by myself and do things at my own pace, but nope. Please understand that I haven't had motivation to do much art because of this situation... Thanks.
Lastly, I appreciate everyone who has watched me here, and those who friended me on Discord, it means a ton. However, this new policy is worrisome because of Ulu having a Guilmon form and all that. I don't want to see that slip away like other OCs/forms. I don't know how to feel about this because this is literally the ONLY site I post my artwork to. I used to have a Twitter, but... we all know how that's going. Bleh.
We're planning on taking a trip to Texas next month, but that's still in the air. We gotta use these tickets sometime in 2023, so...
Hawaii is planned for next summer, hopefully.
Anyways, thank you for reading all this to the end. Things have been tough for a handful of us, and my life is no exception. Hope everyone's summer go well and according to plan. I'm always open on Discord for chatting, voice chatting. or RPing, and I always love meeting new folks from around the web. Give me a buzz when and if you'd like to. Discord is on my profile page.
Malaho, and thanks for reading.

URGENT/Updated Commission Prices
Posted 2 years agoBad news... My current laptop is dying very quickly and will soon be lost, probably within the next week or so...
This means I'll be needing to purchase one, along with paying rent for the year...
The rent is currently $120 a year at my home, thanks to my father... And most of that is payed off.
But this laptop I'm aiming for is $850, and I'm currently at $200... And my parents won't help with this issue.
Commission prices are going down by a considerable amount starting today. I need to get this laptop as soon as possible because I can't really do digital artwork without one... Yes, I have my phone, but I'm awful on Medibang on Android.
I could really, REALLY use some help getting to my goal of $850 by mid-May. Or hopefully even sooner.
Commission prices will be listed below:
Rough Sketch: $3
Detailed Sketch: $4
Lineart: $5
Traditional Color: $7 (With shading is +$3) (with background is +$5)
Digital Lineart: $8
Digital Flat color: $10
Digital color with shading: $13 (with background is +$7)
Icons: Digital: $5 Traditional: $2
Will Draw: Pokemon, Mixels, Digimon, Vorish stuff, endo, and digestion.
Will NOT draw: 18+ or NSFW, Humans, painful or bondage scenarios.
Again, anything will help me... I greatly need help here.
Thanks for viewing...

Update: 1/7/23
Posted 3 years agoSo, apparently my mom, dad, and sister all tested positive, yesterday.
I had to take a test as well, just in case, and somehow I'm negative.
This means I'll have to hold down the fort for the next week or so... And I'm pretty nervous to say the least.
In other, less concerning news...
Commissions are still open and I've still got two I need to finish up before I can start any others.
I'm hoping to save up for an RTX Laptop, and be able to purchase it by this March. I'm currently $380 short, though, so... If possible, I could really use some help saving up!
Commissions will remain open until I am able to buy said laptop, for a total of $900 roughly.
I really appreciate those who have helped me thus far, and expect those two promised commissions to be completed by February!
Lastly, once I get this new laptop, commissions will be able to be completed at a much faster rate, since I'll have more resources and a faster processing power to draw.
Thank you all again for the support, and I wish everyone here a safe 2023!

Emergency Commissions OPEN / Vent
Posted 3 years agoFirst off, emergency commissions are open because I need to leave my jackass father behind. All he does is taunt, scold, and insult me day after day. It's verbal abuse, and it will soon escalate to physical, I feel like...
He doesn't feel like a dad, and more of a salty landlord who thinks he owns everything in the house and beyond. I can't find peace at home, anymore, and I no longer feel safe in the house with him, knowing he'll eventually lash out and hurt me. This has been happening since this past January... and I took a 3 week trip in March to Texas to escape him. After that relief, I returned home and he was right back at it, like that break did nothing... Of course... Just tonight at dinner, he called me f***king rude and asked if opening a package was too hard for me. I have done nothing to him, and he still treats me like hot garbage. I am absolutely done with his s***, and am looking for a place to move to, whether it be a hotel, or a friends' place... Anything will do to leave him behind... I'm sick of the constant criticism and insults and insecurity at my own home. Worst of all, he doesn't treat my older sister like that at all, nor his wife. He strictly takes out his anger and rage on me, even if I haven't done anything to upset him. The slightest mistake would anger him and make him hold a grudge on me for a week, where he wouldn't talk, or even look at me. If I try speaking to him, he just ignores me and brushes me off like a fly...
I really, REALLY need some money to help me escape his clutches... Any amount would help...
PayPal: flurrfanatic[at]gmail.com --- If you'd like me to do a drawing for you depending on the amount you send, please let me know in a sender's note on PayPal, or here in notes...
These commissions will stay open until I earn enough money to move out, and hopefully leave him in the dust.
Thanks for reading... ><,,
PS: He's been physical in the past and I have informed the police about assault and child abuse. Course, this hasn't phased him a bit...

Update: 7/22/22
Posted 3 years agoHi, everyone.
First, I'd like to apologize for my huge lack of artwork recently. I have just returned from my trip to Colorado/Utah and am still jetlagged from the flight back.
I was on the trip from July 7th to the 20th, and would like at least another week to regain myself. The trip was wonderful, by the way! Everything went according to plan and I got to see majority of my family at Echo Basin. During the trip, many photos were taken, so... Find me on Twitter or Discord to see the photos.
We also stopped by Arches National Park for the afternoon! I've never been so amazed at rocks before.
Hope everyone's summer has been going well, and expect some more doodles soon!

Posted 3 years agoThe Perma thing isn't me taking away a friend's sona... He just wanted a place to chill for a while. It was mainly for the moment.
I would never revoke someone of their sona just for amusement, that's just wrong-- Especially if it's their main sona.
I apologize for making it sound like Night was deleted, he's doing well and will return soon, I promise.
In other news... Thank you all for wishing me a strong start to my upcoming job! I'll do my best.

First Perma Scenario
Posted 3 years agoAlright, so... the title may seem odd at first, but a certain Shoutmon decided it would be great to live in my Gabumon form. That Shoutmon, is
Nath44X !
Ulu was a little skeptical at first, but knew he would keep Night safe deep inside him. This means that Night is most likely perma'd, so... In order to contact him, you'd have to go through me. (Or just send him a note, that too)
EDIT: Night will be returning!! I'm not gonna steal a sona like this...
In other news, after two years of job searching, the National Aquarium in downtown Baltimore reached out to me and hired me last week! I start this month on the 23rd, and am going fulltime as a Guest Service Specialist, so the person at the help desk greeting folks.
It's an honor to work at the second best aquarium in the United States, or first according to many people.
Wish me luck!!

Job Interview Finished
Posted 4 years agoAlright, so... Update time!
The major thing that has happened to me has been my very first job interview earlier today. I'm very anxious to see what they say...
Secondly, I'm headed to my 35th US State on the 12th... Rhode Island! Commissions will be paused for the week I'm away!
That's basically all that's happened to me... That and my friends are wanting to perma-vore my OCs, don't know why...
Anyways, Mix On!
