Update
General | Posted 6 months agoJust thought I'd give updates here as to what's been going on with me. I managed to get myself into a relationship (since December), went on adventures (injured my elbow badly during one of them), was and still am taking care of errand and appointment stuff, and catching up on certain media I've missed out on.
I was hoping to get back to accepting commissions again (which will also help speed up the process of the transformation donation drive:https://www.furaffinity.net/view/60671803/), but I've been procrastinating and losing my drive to draw again 'cause of things that are keeping me busy outside the internet. And I'm also currently dealing with a really sore wrist right now that I'll have to get checked out (which will probably take time considering what Canada's medical system's like for wait times). I may have tendonitis, tenosynovitis, or something else going on with it. It started before my elbow injury back in February, and has been getting worse when my elbow mostly healed. It hurts to draw and write, so that's one of the main things that's setting me back. Another is the amount of clutter in my folders of unfinished drawings that I've been meaning to get done for months and years, which is overwhelming me and not helping with my procrastination problem.
Guess all I can say is that it's best to wait again for when I plan to do anything more here. Ciao for now.

Commissions Suspended + BlueSky
General | Posted a year agoHeya. So I've got a couple commissions I'm working on. But I thought I'd just give a heads up that commissions will be suspended until further notice. Got personal pieces and other stuff that needs to be taken care of. Plus I wanna get back to doing commissions on my secondary profile here.
And here's my BlueSky if you wanna follow me there (had it for a few weeks now) -https://bsky.app/profile/adaru32.bsky.socialThings are starting off slow there where I'm just sharing my art dating back to 2007, and working my way up while also sharing pieces I finish from the present time.
Ciao for now

It's Been Awhile...
General | Posted a year agoHey, how's it going? Thought I'd give updates on what's been happening with me, and what changes may or may not come:
1. Tool concert back in November was amazing. Even got a surprise of Alex Lifeson from Rush performing the song Jambi with them. It was funny 'cause before heading to the concert, my dad was wearing Rush shirt. My brother teased him about it, causing my dad to change his shirt as we're about to head out. Then as soon as we experience that situation, my dad regrets not wearing the Rush shirt.
I also recently went to a concert with my one brother of a Canadian Kiss tribute band (Destroyer) at a local brewery. Was a lot of fun, and I had the Ace Frehley impersonator approach me and gift me a pick -https://www.facebook.com/adelle.rul.....A6qVuCks1NwDCl
2. Got a total of 20 chickens now. We've lost some, and gained some where they lay different coloured eggs (some lay green ones, a couple lay blue ones, and one lays chocolate coloured ones).
3. Finally got a PS5 and a new laptop (a gaming one to be precise). Had a blast playing a few games on them for a few months up until I got really busy with my jobs again to where I'm indecisive and burnt out from playing any. Last one I played was Soul Reaver just last week (after 10+ years). I still have to finish FF7 Rebirth (on the final boss/chapter). And I still have to get started on the Jak & Daxter trilogy series (got it 10 years ago), Death Stranding (got it 2 years ago), Dead Space Remake (got it last year), and a bunch of other games in my Steam library.
4. So because of what my jobs consist of, they've taken a toll on my lower back and hips to the point where I have to see a chiropractor twice a week. It's been helping, but only temporarily. At first me, my mom, and my one boss thought I got sciatica, but it turned out to be something different. I can't remember what it's called, but it's something common for those in job fields that causes a lot of strain on the lower back area, and it's supposed to eventually heal on its own when enough treatment's done on it. And because of the slower-than-expected healing process, I've had to lower my hours a little bit at one of my jobs (only by 5 hours). It sucks but it's been kinda helping me more. Plus what's nice is that now that I'm visiting the town the appointment's at more often, I've been unwinding with some breakfast or lunch, and relaxing at the pier there.
At the same time, I've been contemplating on what to really do with myself job-wise. My dad's been hound me about getting a full time job but in this day and age, it's extremely difficult to get one. And there's a growing number of people nowadays getting laid off and having more than 1 or 2 jobs, which isn't good for anyone's retirement pensions. Even if I were to quit my jobs, I'm not sure what I really wanna do with myself. I definitely don't wanna work in a factory and restaurant.
5. Adding on to the whole job decision-making. My mental state's gone downhill to the point where I'm desperate on seeing a psychiatric specialist. What I think may be wrong with me could be that I either have ADHD, Autism, Depression, Anxiety, Avoidant Personality Disorder, or a mix of them. I've been diagnosed with Anxiety in the past, but it wasn't really a professional diagnosis due to my family doctor assuming things and just shoving pills down my throat. I hadn't visited in awhile since then due to a busy work schedule, and being oblivious to the fact that something was still wrong with me. So it wasn't until last year that I smartened up and tried contacting that doctor to be referred to a specialist, only to find out that I was dropped as a patient 'cause I hadn't visited in a 5+ year span. So I got a new doctor about 8 months after attempting to make an appointment with the previous one, and had an appointment recently with this new one about being referred.
The thing is, it's probably gonna be a long~ wait until I finally see a specialist due to the lack of them out there, especially close by, and how there are waiting lists happening everywhere (and I'm getting really impatient due to being at my breaking point). Even if I am diagnosed with one or more of these disorders, I'm wondering what I will do with myself when it comes to keeping my jobs, which are a couple sources of my mental degradation. Do I still want to endure working in these environments that make me sore and unhappy? Do I start a new, easier job once I make up my mind on what I wanna work as? Do I want to have just 1 part-time job and apply for disability benefits? Or will I quit my jobs altogether and rely on the benefits while I utilize my hobbies (which I enjoy doing more) as another small source of income?
6. Now about my hobbies as another source of#seems that people aren't aware that I'm still accepting drawing commissions. There's a bit of a waiting list and long wait times due to being busy and burnt out, but I have no problem adding to that list if any of you are interested. The thing is, colouring options are still limited due to preventing anymore burnout than how much I'm experiencing now. And I realized after making my commission info chart that I forgot to add a price for backgrounds ($25 CDN if you're curious). Speaking of that chart, I'll probably have to update it again some time soon so I can fix that error I've made, and use different images as better examples of what I do.
7. Other than that, other things that have happened are just family get-togethers and other minor appointment stuff (eg. eyes, car, etc.). This year's been nothing but mostly work and appointments. How I'm doing though? Things have been so-so on my end. I've got my good days and bad days. Just taking things 1 day at a time and hope for the best.

Life Updates
General | Posted 2 years agoHey, how's it going? Just thought I'd give updates about what's happened or happening in my life:
1. Not much has really changed with me. Still working 2 part-time jobs (cashier and aesthetician). I've decided that this will be my fate until something else happens because it's a good balance, it's better for my aching back and hips (wouldn't wanna do mostly pedicures for the rest of my life), and it's difficult to find permanent and good full-time positions nowadays.
2. The Alter Bridge concert back in February was really great ( https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10160449596808427&type=3 ). It was the most audience-engaging concert I've ever been to where the audience sang along with most of their tunes . And we also got treated that night with Eddie Van Halen's son's band, Mammoth WVH. First time I've seen them, and they're great! Looking forward to their next album as well.
3. Now have a total of 12 pet chickens (context in description of this link - https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10160759478513427&set=a.10153722345528427 ).
4. Got to smash a car for the first time in my life (https://twitter.com/Adaru32/status/.....07040530169856).
5. Got a new tattoo back in August (https://twitter.com/Adaru32/status/.....71545649836375).
6. Going to see Tool in Toronto this November. Really looking forward 'cause it's a band I've been wanting to see for awhile. Especially my dad 'cause he's been also wanting to take me and my one brother to see them for ages (this was a Fathers' Day gift I gave to him ).
7. As you can tell by my activity this year, I'm slowly but surely getting my motivation back to creating stuff for here
8. Hoping to get both a gaming PC and PS5 soon. Lots of games I'm missing out on, and one of the reasons that I don't game much like I used to. Last I played was the Separate Ways DLC of RE4 Remake. That was a good DLC.

Big Change Regarding My Deviantart Content
General | Posted 3 years ago#if you've been paying attention to my status updates on Deviantart and Twitter, Deviantart now has new policies regarding mature content. Apparently, the staff or whoever has beef with me that's most likely reporting my stuff (I think I have an idea on who they could be) can't tell the difference between nudity and sexual content. Either that, or they think a penis is sexual while breasts and vaginas are not, or they think all nudity is also sexual.
Here's an explanation on what I'm getting at for those of you that aren't aware of my status updates. So one of my latest commissions I did for
blasphemer got removed by the Deviantart staff. It was this mature piece here -https://www.furaffinity.net/view/50531330/. A few days ago, I got a notification from the staff where they asked if that particular piece should be rated as 'explicit content', and to change it. I wasn't sure what they meant by that but as I go to edit the piece, I see that they have the option to make the mature content as 'moderate' or 'strict'. So I still kept the 'mature nudity' rating but changed it to 'strict' 'cause its default setting was 'moderate' before the changes were made on there.
All of a sudden I get another notification from them yesterday where they made the decision to delete the piece. I go to report it saying that "I'm not sure what I'm violating when the piece clearly has a strict mature rating". I then see that I have a note, and it's from the staff explaining why it got removed, which is what they should've done in the first place instead of just saying 'explicit content'...Their reason for its removal is 'cause it contained 'sexual content', which baffles me because there's a difference between exposed nude parts and sexual activity. There was nothing sexual about the image at all, it was just an exposed penis. There was no "jacking off" involved, and no "man juice" as well. Got an update about the report today, and they're still making the choice of keeping it removed...
Those of you that have followed me for awhile know that I'm not a fan of sexual stuff, and don't really like making that type of content, which is why I don't accept that kind of stuff for my commissions. The furthest I would go for sexual content is just heavy breathing in my audios, characters stating in a profane way how their transformations feel good, and the content on my alternate account on here, that's it.
So because of this ridiculousness, I'm gonna make a tough decision#now on, all of my content on Deviantart is gonna be clean, and all of my mature pieces on there containing nudity are gonna be removed by me. I could just change them to 'sexual content', but that's gonna cause a misunderstanding for those that also aren't a fan of sexual stuff. All of my mature content will only be uploaded on here and my Transfur account (which I haven't updated in ages).
I'm really sorry for having to do this but I just don't want to risk having my profile taken down on there. And like I stated above, I just don't want people to misunderstand what my mature content#for now.

What's Happening? (Status Update + A Poll)
General | Posted 3 years agoHeya! It's been awhile...Figured I'd state what's been going on with me since my last status update.
1. Still working 2 jobs where I'm working on average 6 days/week (four days at one place, two days at another). The new spa job I started earlier this year is going all right. Still having communication issues, though, where I'm either misunderstanding what people are saying, or struggle to keep conversations going, or end up stating unnecessary descriptions of things. And I still haven't gotten around to practicing beauty makeup applications for weddings, proms, etc.
2. Got more pet chickens back in September that are the Barred Rock breed (purpose is for more eggs to eat and use).
3. Got Covid in October (most likely got it from the spa job since I'm always in close contact with people). Not as bad as what the media states it out to be (then again, everyone reacts to it differently), but still didn't feel nice. Experienced shortness of breath, lack of energy and appetite, slight nose congestion, dizziness, headaches, pressurized ears, and a very sore throat. The sore throat and pressured ears are what bothered me the most. Lasted for about 7 days.
4. Also got an infection and a very bad flu bug in November where I ended up accidentally infecting my one Facebook friend that I visited and slept over#was it an accident? At first I thought it was a bad reaction from an allergy nose spray I used on myself 'cause something like this happened before where I had this irritation in my throat that made me had mild coughs often. But this time I woke up the next day to a sore throat and violent coughs. Covid tests came up negative, but I also took my temperature and results showed that I had a fever, which was my queue to go#the friend caught what I had a day or so later.
5. Just got back into playing video games after 11 months (currently playing the Ace Attorney series. Can't record them due to my laptop's limitations. Did a couple recording tests and either everything's lagging or won't record the gameplay properly).
6. Developed sciatica in my lower back a couple weeks ago that's still trying to heal (better than it was when I first had it, though). Still kinda hurts to straighten my legs outward, and lean forward or sit certain ways.
7. Got tickets as a Christmas present for my dad and I to go see Alter Bridge in Toronto this coming February. Looking forward.
Mentally, things have been okay with me. Got my good days and bad days. Also still miss creating stuff often. Got a commission I still need to finish, and there are a couple or so people interested in getting something done from me once I finish with that one.
Now about my poll I recently shared on my Deviantart -https://www.deviantart.com/dantever.....loured-8223205(and my Twitter -https://twitter.com/Adaru32/status/.....10521815175168). Just a heads up that whichever option gets voted the most won't affect whatever happens with my commissions, it'll only affect my own original stuff (sorry about that...I'll inform about this on my Twitter as well once the votes are done). Still gonna stick to just line work and doodle commissions until further notice.
Hope you all have a safe and a Happy Holiday Season. Ciao for now.

Back In Business, But...
General | Posted 3 years agoGot my tablet issue resolved, which means that I can continue making stuff! But unfortunately commissions will still have to be on hold till further notice. Got a few people on the waiting list, and it's unknown when they will be finished due to my 2 jobs where I'm working 6 to 7 days per week. Stay tuned, apologies for the delays, and thanks for your patience and understanding!
Commissions On Hold Again Till Further Notice
General | Posted 3 years agoAs the title states, commissions are gonna be delayed for a bit longer due to having another 2nd job, and having USB connection#got my laptop a bit waterlogged a few years ago from a leaky water bottle, so I think the long term damages have taken effect#have to see about upgrading to a new device soon -_-
New Year, New Me
General | Posted 4 years agoHey, how's it going? First journal of 2022. Thought I'd update what's been happening on my end.
First off, our house has more animals. We've got 5 chickens (Rhode-Barrs, which are a mix of Rhode Island Red and Barred Rock) since September, and we're about to get another dog (a German Shepherd-Australian Shepherd-Border Collie mix) some time soon that we're naming Rocky. He's gonna serve as our first dog, Raven's, companion due to her high energy levels, and how we're not always around to play with her 'cause of work, chores, etc.
Second, those of you that follow me on Deviantart may know about this from my status, but I am no longer working at the spa. Couldn't keep up with the rent and material costs anymore, and wasn't making any progress. I also got stupid and was way too honest where I informed the spa owner that I was eyeballing another place to work, which resorted to me to getting kicked out. Yes, this means it gives me more free time, but I'm still all over the place and need to think deeply on what I really want to do in life. I went for a job interview at another spa a couple weeks ago, and emailed another spa asking for an interview but haven't heard back from them yet. Fingers crossed that I end up getting a position at one of them.
And lastly, because of no 2nd job for the time being, I thought about starting art commissions again until something else pops up. But I still have a huge load of pieces that I need to finish or get started on, and I'm unsure on whether I want to commit myself to doing that. Don't get me wrong, I really love drawing and really miss doing it whenever I don't get the chance or mood to, but my indecisiveness and lack of confidence are taking over where I'm unsure about where my heart is for a permanent side job or career path that's right for me. My mind is just so cluttered with interests and ideas that I don't even know where to start.
Ciao for now.

Not Dead, Just On Hiatus
General | Posted 4 years agoHey, how's it going? Yeah, it's been awhile. Thought I'd update. I've been occupied with work, Youtube, video games (Zelda Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask), hanging out with relatives and friends (now that our lockdown's ended since last month), and reading more SCP articles (I'm in the 3500s now).
I got both my shots (pfizer), and reopened my aesthetics business last month. Things have been getting a bit better there where I'm gaining some more clients, I don't have to make people sign waiver sheets for my services anymore, I can do facials and face waxing again, and we have another person working there. Only problems I'm facing are that I'm still struggling with the gel/artificial nails where I can't get them to stick (I'm having trouble applying the gel solutions properly and shaping), I've had to buy hundreds of dollars worth of more materials, and the rent cost's gonna increase for me later in the year. Depending on how the gel/artificial nails go for me, and if I can afford the rent cost in the long run determines whether I will be remaining there or not. I was gonna give it till next September, but I think it'll be much earlier than that. I'll see where this goes.
Not much has changed for the cashier job. Our protocols are more laid back where we don't have a limit for how many people are allowed in the store, and we don't have to wipe our stations after every customer. The only areas we have to wipe are dirty spots, and the debit/credit machines after every use. The only struggles I'm facing while working there are that everyone's hours (including mine) have been cut, and we're dealing with more problematic customers than before.
I haven't been creating anything for awhile. I miss doing that and wish to get back to drawing and making Youtube vids again, but a lot of things just keep being thrown at me, and I've been distracted with other hobbies. I've also been trying to stay away from visiting most social media sites since it gives me information overload that can get overwhelming, and there's just too much negativity happening that's not good for me mentally. I gotta say that staying away often has been putting me at ease. At the same time it bugs me 'cause there would be times where I want to stay consistent with checking updates relating to my interests and my family and friends on what's happening, and clearing out notifications.
Overall, things have been okay with me. Still pretty much stuck in limbo with what I want to do in life. I've just got too much on my plate and in my brain that I don't even know where to start. Hope y'all are doing okay too. Ciao for now.

Thank You Ko-Fi Contributors!
General | Posted 4 years agoThe goal has been reached for my newest werewolf tf comic to be submitted! The rest should be submitted some time soon. Just have to do lots of cleanup, add backgrounds in some panels, and add details on the clothing on some figures. Stay tuned!
Updates And Dream Story 292
General | Posted 4 years agoUpdates Hey, how's it going? Thought I'd inform what's been happening on my end. I've been quite busy with work, and still distracting myself with video games, family time, reading SCP articles, and Youtube (speaking of Youtube and gaming, you can check to see what my new mic sounds like here -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IncNm4fMd0g. Gotta say, I like it way better than my old mic).
Our dog Raven's more calm after she was taken to the trainer's. There are still some bad habits she needs to grow out of, but is doing better.
I've been working on a creative project, finally! I know I have a lot~ of unfinished stuff sitting on my plate, and that I said I would do livestreams of myself working on them or finishing them, but my brain decided to move onto something else. I'm not gonna mention what it is since I wanna keep it a surprise. What I can tell though is that I'll be having a donation pool around it to get submitted (With a different donation site this time instead of Paypal. Still have to make an account for that site), and I don't plan on having it coloured. Stay tuned.
*Rant Alert*We in Ontario, Canada have another shutdown, starting today (This is our 3rd one and it sucks, considering that it's Easter. Speaking of which, Happy Easter everyone!). A part of me isn't surprised since our government's pulled this stunt last year from March to July, and the December and New Year holidays. Plus a lot of people are just so damn stubborn and oblivious when it comes to the rules. I've lost count how many people at my grocery job I've had to instruct on what they're allowed and not allowed to do when approaching us cashiers. So many people just rushing up and plopping their crap on the conveyor belt when they have to stand back and wait to be called up, and the belt needs to be sanitized first. Plus social distancing has flew way past their heads, and they aren't following the arrow directions set all around the store.
I can't remember if I've mentioned this already, but what's funny is that when the word of the pandemic started circulating when there was that toilet paper, paper towel, sanitizer, and disinfecting wipe crisis, I didn't believe in it at first 'cause I thought it was just the media causing hysteria. Then once we had our first shut down last March, I've been on the fence of both believing in this whole thing and not believing in it. I'm still on the fence now.
What makes me believe in it is that there are people being infected with the virus (my mum's friend's husband had the symptom where he temporarily lost his sense of taste and smell completely, and his nose wasn't even stuffed. Shortly after is when he started developing flu-like symptoms, then had to get treated at the closest hospital, and quarantined himself for a couple weeks or so. He's recovered fine thanks to being medically treated).
What makes me think this isn't really as big of a deal as it should be, and that this is all just government control is that there are rule changes happening almost every single day, a lot of contradictions, and our government's not only breaking their own protocol barriers (one of the people in office went on vacation overseas when we've closed our borders, and the others in office were okay with this and aren't firing him), but they can't make up their damn minds on what do with their citizens. Not just the government, even businesses for when it comes to sanitizing and cleaning protocols. I'd hear reports of a lot of retailers not sanitizing their stations. It's no wonder people get confused when we tell them at our establishment that they have to wait to put their stuff on the conveyor belt, and that they're making comments or questioning about us cleaning everything.
Plus we have a bylaw that everyone has to wear a mask, but we in the grocery store business can't turn these anti-maskers away because it has to do with "human rights" and to "not be judgmental". If you ask me, we have rights too and should have a right to send these people away. It just baffles me on what's#least we've got the vaccines rolling in. But this whole vaccine situation we have in Canada is really messed up, too. They keep changing how long those that got their 1st shot have till they get the 2nd dose (eg. changed from 4 months to 4 weeks, and so on), there are a lot of waiting lists happening, and certain people that deserve to get the shot aren't getting it till after certain other people (eg. teachers not getting their shots before essential workers).
And lastly, a lot of these reports/numbers of people "dying" from it are actually dying from other sicknesses and diseases (ie. cancer), not the#had a client who's a nurse at my aesthetics business tell me this...
*Rant Over* Dream Story 292 This one's about that I was a girl named Annie with mobility problems from an injury (couldn't remember what kind of injury) that rendered me to be wheelchair bound, and I was haunted by a ghost of a relative. This ghost goes after a friend or relative that slept over at my place. I try to stop the ghost, but it gets jealous and then comes after me. Due to my disability, I couldn't run so I had to drag myself around the house. Almost everywhere I go, the ghost would teleport in front of me a few feet away, but it was pretty slow. I managed to hide in the basement, but the ghost decides to go after the friend or relative, so I come out of hiding to resolve the situation. I can't remember what happened after. Either I just abruptly woke up from the dream after I start coming out of hiding, or something else happened before I woke up.
Life Updates: New Mic, Binaural Beats, Pupper, Etc
General | Posted 5 years agoHey, how we doin'? Me? I've been okay. Our lockdown's been extended till the 19th (it started the day after Christmas), so my grocery cashier workplace has raised my hours for some time till I go back to working at the spa. So not only am I extremely bored, I'm pretty exhausted from working these longer hours. I've been staying away from social media more often, and have been going to bed earlier than usual, which is unlike me.
Speaking of bed, I've been trying binaural beats for the past month while I'm sleeping. I don't remember what encouraged me into trying them, but they have really helped me relax and sleep better. When it comes to the dreams, it's a hit or miss for remembering them, and 99% of them haven't been surreal and lucid, but they are a lot more vivid. I'd wake up confused not knowing what's a dream and what's not (speaking of dreams, I do have more stories but they're gonna have to wait till next time. Just giving life updates in this entry). It's so surreal as I'm waking up 'cause as everything's fading in, I'm aware of laying in bed, but I don't even hear the music and don't feel the headphones on my head. Once I snap out of it is when I start hearing the music again, followed by feeling the headphones back on my head.
A few other things. I finally bought a new mic. Just waiting for it to be delivered. It's a Mackie EM-USB EleMent so it's a newer mic model (was a decent price, too), and is supposed to be meant for voice work. I thought about testing it for either another gaming vid, or during a livestream (which I still have kept in mind, and is still unknown when I will do one. But it will be on my Youtube channel).
Our new family dog's been fun and well, but at the same time a huge handful for everyone (she does consist of hyper-active breeds after all), so she had to be taken to a professional trainer's house since the 2nd (last Tuesday). Because of this pandemic, there are different strict protocols so she has to stay there till the 16th or 23rd. We've been watching many Youtube tutorials, and my mother's attended a zoom meeting to get tips on how to train her into getting out of her bad habits like chomping everything, jumping onto and biting people she likes, being aggressive with our cats, climbing up onto or against the counters and furniture, barking at and chasing everything, being shy around or growling at strangers, and being way too clingy (Aussie Shepherds are known to be Velcro Dogs).
Nothing seemed to work and it's been affecting everyone in the household, so taking her to this trainer was our last resort. My mother's checked up on her recently, and she's been more calm since the 6th, and the trainer's started using a training collar on her. We should've done that awhile ago but because my mother's a big softie she was hesitant to use one, and there have been Youtube vids or people in the zoom meeting stating that training collars shouldn't be used at all. But I had a coworker tell me that she used them on her dogs and they worked, and even the person where we got our puppy from used training collars on her dogs and they worked as well. We'll see where this goes.
As for my free time, I've been keeping myself busy with reading more SCPs, watching random Youtube vids (which has distracted me the most) helping take care of our puppy (before she was taken to the trainer's), organizing things around my room and in my laptop, checking messages and updates, playing more Crash Bandicoot N-Sane Trilogy (trying to collect all the gems in the 2nd and 3rd ones), and playing Mario Party on the Nintendo Switch with my little siblings (they got them for Christmas). I've been wanting to get back to working on unfinished art pieces, but I wanted to save that for when I eventually start doing livestreams. And as you've already guessed, I've been distracted with other things a#my job, especially with these longer hours drains my brain which prevents me from having the motivation and energy to do even more work.
Stay tuned for more updates. Ciao for now.

Reflecting On 2020 And Dream Story 291
General | Posted 5 years agoHey, how's it going? Thought I'd speak my mind and give updates on what's happening. 2020 hasn't been the worst overall year of my life (I'd say 2016 was my worst). It only sucked for me from late March to mid-August. After (and before) that, it just had a balance of ups and downs.
But when it comes to me releasing creative content, this would've been my worst year. I had a goal last year where I would set myself a schedule for what sites to visit on which days to check messages & updates, and what I would be doing on certain days. It started out fine from November 2019 to mid-March this year. But ever since this whole pandemic started, even after temporarily shutting down my aesthetics business, my work and life balance has been a complete mess. Things keep changing all the time where I don't know what's happening anymore. Hopefully things will slow down sooner than later, now that we've got the vaccines slowly rolling in.
Speaking of creative content, for the first time ever in my artist life, I've given myself the choice to refund someone for being too late on releasing a commission piece. I even asked another person (who commissioned an audio back in 2018) if he'd also like a refund (This shows how horrible my creative streak has been as of late). I know sharing this thought is random, but just thought I'd speak my mind on that matter.
So we got our puppy a couple weeks ago. She's awesome (Her name's Raven. An Aussie Shepherd-Lab-Border Collie mix) and really glad we got her, but is a stinker. She's learned some things real fast, but it'll take time till she gets out of her yappy, impatient, and 'must-chomp-everybody-and-everything' phase.
I still got the livestream idea of me doodling or working on pieces in mind. I may start off with Youtube since more people have accounts there compared to Discord. Discord's my 2nd option in case Youtube doesn't work for me. And if not Discord, then Picarto. Still unknown when this will happen, but hoping it will be soon. Stay tuned.
As for hobbies, I've been keeping myself busy with the Vergil DLC in DMCV, the Crash Bandicoot N-Sane Trilogy (I even got Crash Bandicoot 4 which I have yet to play), and reading more SCP articles. For drawing, I'd just do messy doodles occasionally (like what I posted on here just recently).
Hope you all have a safe and Happy New Year. Hope 2021 brings good for us all.
You remember Unus Annus, right? (For those of you that don't know, you probably won't get ththe first half of this dream story.) This dream's based off of it. A really bizarre and messed-up one, in fact. It was about that I starred in an Unus Annus video with Mark Fischbach (aka Markiplier) and Ethan Nestor (aka CrankGameplays). What we did for this video was test our pain tolerance by cutting parts of our bodies with different sharp tools. We were actually okay with this, laughing away and joking around, even after cutting certain areas that hurt. My worst pain was on my tongue (I actually felt it). Other areas I've done, but weren't as painful, were my nose and ear. Ethan and Mark had their ears done, Ethan had a finger done, and Mark had a thigh or upper arm and bum cheek done.
Afterward, the dream changes to where my cut wounds healed completely (no scars), and warps me to a different time and location. I'm just about to head out somewhere from some place. All of a sudden, a complete stranger (from another dream I've had before with him in it) sneaks into my car and asks to take me to a "karate class". I was about to call the police, but complied to his request, so I take him to his destination. After getting out of my car, I follow him into a mall that was connected to some underground medical area that can be accessed from a certain elevator or escalator. Turns out it wasn't a karate class, he wanted to visit the medical area to see a dying relative.

Updates And Change of Plans
General | Posted 5 years agoUpdates & Change of PlansHey there, how's it going? Just thought I'd update with what's happening on my end. I've started taking a break from going on Twitter and Tumblr, and have refrained from chatting with most people on Facebook till further notice. Reason is because I feel that those are what's taking up quite a bit of my time from working on my stuff. I've got a commission for here to finish from last year, a commission for my secondary account on here to finish from months ago, and a plate full of WIPs of my own stuff sitting in my folders from months to years ago.
Speaking of my own stuff, I've decided to make some changes regarding my submissions on here. From now on if I ever create sequences, it'll require donation goals to be reached, like what happened with my Dante's Beastly Awakening sequence. For non-sequences, they'll still be shared freely. Commissions will still be on hold till further notice due to complex scheduling on my end, and I'm trying to get my own stuff done first before moving on ahead to anything else. I'm also hoping to get to livestreaming my drawing stuff soon. Still debating whether I should stick with Youtube, Picarto, or Discord as the streaming service (Twitch doesn't work for me. Too laggy and broken due to bad internet and location). I also still need to get a better mic to continue with audio stuff without having
to worry about being too loud and needing privacy. Stay tuned.
Life UpdatesAs for life, it's been okay. It's got its ups and downs. Grocery store job still hasn't really changed, and the aesthetics business has really slowed down due to cold & flu#not a lot of people are a fan of our protocols (They are quite strict, so can't blame them). I've also been continuing to read stuff on the SCP Foundation site. As I've mentioned in another journal before, I've been inspired by them to create my own SCPs. I thought about making fan art based off some, too. That may change since I'm just all over the place. Doesn't help when I have a lot of unfinished things sitting in my folders, too.
Like most people, Thanksgiving and Christmas have been cancelled for my families. Too many people interested to visit one another. It sucks 'cause I miss them, but it's the way things are in Ontario, Canada here, for now (Only 10 people allowed for get-togethers). Looking forward to Christmas though 'cause our family's getting a new fur baby (A puppy). My little siblings don't know about it yet, and I'm pitching in to get it. I've always grown up with cats, anoles, fish, and hamsters, so this is something to really look forward to. And yes, for those of you that know me as being a huge Devil May Cry fan, I'm looking forward to the Vergil DLC as well.
Ciao for now.
Recommendations? Future Stream Announcement
General | Posted 5 years agoHey, how's it going? So I may have found a solution to the lagging issues on my Twitch comic stream from the other night. I had a hunch due to what OBS Studio was displaying. I have really bad bandwidth. Living in the country side and having a wireless internet box that exclusively stays in 1 room is what's gonna cause a weak bandwidth to occur.
Do any of you have any recommendations for free streaming services where wireless internet boxes or bandwidth strength don't matter? I thought of Picarto or Youtube, but not sure. Now that things have slowed down a bit on my end, I'd love to do more art streams, but lagging problems are what's preventing me from doing them.
Also, if you're wondering about the progress of my comic, I've got most of the 1st and last pages done, while the 2nd and 3rd pages are about half-way done. If you guys want to see the comic being submitted out to the public, here's a donation pool I have going on for it. Goal is just $50, you can chip in however much you want, and the deadline is this Halloween -https://www.paypal.com/pools/c/8t5yCYSmld
**Once the deadline hits, it will never be submitted, even if it eventually gets finished after the deadline**

Update (Conflicting Thoughts And Hiatus)
General | Posted 5 years agoHey, how's it going? Just thought I'd give an update about what's happening with me. To sum it up, it seems that I'm on hiatus.#been since my last upload on#before that...
So I reopened my aesthetics business at the beginning of July. Things were a bit overwhelming at first 'cause of all the extra cleaning I have to do, and other protocols that have to be done. Things were getting better (I've never been so chill in long periods of time in life) till just recently due to being overwhelmed once again, and being completely burnt out. I even had to call in sick at one of my jobs due to being exhausted and not mentally#is the 2nd time I've had to do this since last#since I reopened that place:
1. People are swarming at me left and right. It's nice that I have a clientele building up, but it's getting too much for me. Plus the next couple points give other reasons.
2. People are criticizing about my timing and service options (Apparently I'm "too quick" when one of my goals for this job was to be quicker with my#started off extremely slow and have gotten faster now. As for not enough options, these people don't realize that I'm only 1 person and have only been taught specific things).
3. People are asking too much from me for what I do (Not just at my 2 jobs, but online as well with my art and#of having to repeat myself with the same people asking about requests and audio when I have that info on my profile and some journal updates).
4. My money's being drained as fast as last year (If not, faster).
5. I just can't seem to catch a break and hardly have any days off. The only breaks I've had were just 2 Thursdays and last weekend (Which is extremely rare for me to have off). Even with just those days off it's not enough to enjoy the things I want to do. I could always ask for a vacation, but at the same time I'm trying to conserve my vacation times. And there's not really anywhere to go due to what the world's come to.
Every day I question about whether what I do is worth it, or if I'm doing a good job. I lack social skills, logic, am indecisive, and can't sit still for long periods of time. I contemplate about quitting one of my jobs, or both. One of them I don't enjoy at all but need for benefits, higher pay, and affordability. The other I highly enjoy, and need for gaining experience, and to make into a full time job so I can quit the one I don't enjoy. But with this job I enjoy:
1. I'm not making as much as the one I don't enjoy (Even when fully booked).
2. There are too many things to keep up with since I'm only 1 person managing 3 different services with multiple options and different amounts of cleanup times.
3. Money's spilling outta my butt faster than what I have to pay for at home due to materials & rent costs, and no microwave (Have to get takeout half the time so I don't go hungry).
4. We're in a town and county filled with miserable, spoiled, rotten, sketchy, alcoholic, drug-headed cheapskates. The only crowd I've drawn in are ones that would rather go to places with cheap pricing (I've had a mani/pedi special for a total of $25 since I reopened. When I had the $10 pedicure special last year, I was only able to keep a handful of the many clientele that showed up 'cause the ones I didn't keep either no-showed, or would talk about affordable pricing at different locations, and/or have wanted me to extend the times on how long to keep my cheap prices for, and/or have wanted me to give senior discounts when I can't due to how specific businesses work).
No matter how many resumes I hand out online and offline, I never get a call back. And I definitely don't want to work at restaurants. I'm lost again and don't know what to do. I try to be patient, go with the flow, and hope for the best in my future, only to remain stuck in limbo, and have one thing happen after another. I miss making art and audio often, I miss going to entertainment events, and I miss hanging out with friends and#are so many things I want in life, but I can't have them due to the cost of everything and other obstacles getting in the way.

Update: What's Happening?
General | Posted 5 years agoHey, how's it going? Hope y'all are keeping safe and well. Just thought I'd give an update on what's been happening and what will be happening with me. First off, I've been doing okay. I've been keeping myself busy with Final Fantasy 7 Remake (Which I'm really enjoying and recommend, despite it not being a fully finished game and having a controversial cliffhanger ending), and reading about SCPs again (Which is inspiring me to wanna make my own. Just have to see what hasn't been done yet), and watching Youtube vids from channels I subscribe to. Despite having more free time since my aesthetics business is temporarily shut down, I haven't had any time and motivation to want to continue working on all these unfinished creations I have sitting in my folders. Hoping to get back to them soon.
Speaking of my aesthetics business, I will be reopening July 6th. Once that happens, hopefully I can actually work on what needs to get started on and done whenever I have no clients. It's gonna be tricky though since we have pretty strict protocols that we have to follow when it comes to bringing your own belongings. I'm looking forward to going back since it's like a 2nd home to me, but I'm just not looking forward to the rules and regulations that we have to follow, and having to pay for rent and materials if the other massage therapist decides to choose the route of being an individual contractor instead of an employee (Which we have an option for after reopening). I'm really hoping this whole thing doesn't last for much longer. My anxiety's bad enough as it is due to the grocery store job.
Speaking of#hasn't changed...It's still a mess to work there and has been deteriorating my sanity more than#though my hours have been cut to about 2 days a week due to not having my Smart Serve, and having new workers there, I still stress about having to go there when those work days arrive. I know I should just quit, but I need this job. Plus the workers and some of the usual customers there are like family.
On another note, I'm still procrastinating about getting an ASMR mic and a Ko-Fi account. And as you may tell, I still can't seem to keep a consistent work flow with my creations. Meaning that commissions, art trades, and audio are still on hold till further notice. Looking forward to a brighter future.

Made A Boo-Boo On Transfur...And Wasn't Notified Till...
General | Posted 5 years agoHey there, how's it going? Just thought I'd give an update about my Transfur account (Which you can find my profile here:http://transfur.com/Users/adaru32). I've been submitting all my transformation stuff on there, and wasn't informed about being accepted till I went on the website a few days after I sent my application and clicked "Submit". I wasn't aware how the site worked, so it turns out that I was submitting my sequences wrong the whole#didn't know that I can submit multiple images at once till one of the admins on there notified me on my Twitter (Which you can find my profile here:https://twitter.com/Adaru32)
And just to be sure, I checked my profile and clicked on "Messages"....Turns quite a bit of people were trying to reach out and got upset with me 'cause I was submitting my sequences as separate images instead of all at once. Some people were even accusing me of ignoring them but in reality, I'm not even notified about any new comments and messages being made on my profile for some reason. I had to sift through my gallery and check to see which images got comments on them.
I reached the help desk and hope that they can resolve this issue. It'd be nice if I can be notified of what's going on on there. I was wondering why things seemed quiet till the admin reached out, then I checked my messages, then checked the gallery to see comments being made on specific images, and saw that one of my sequences got deleted in my gallery by an admin due to the sequence not following the guidelines of submitting.
So for those of you that were following me on there, I apologize for the constant spam for the past few days. Like I said, I wasn't notified of new comments and messages so I couldn't see them till one of the admins informed me on my Twitter. Plus I was trying to get a lot of my stuff out of the way so I could clear some things up, which was another reason for the spam. And there are some sequences where I have clean images mixed with images containing blood and/or nudity, so even if I were to submit these sequences as 1 image at a time, it would've been necessary to submit the images separately. But I fixed that in my latest submission, and I went back and deleted the sequences that don't have comments. I'll be keeping the images with comments till I decide to resubmit these sequences again as single posts instead of separate imaged posts.

I Gave In...
General | Posted 5 years agoHeya. Just thought I'd make an announcement that I finally made a Transfur account. I've had someone in the past bug me about getting one, and surprised a few people on here and Fur Affinity about not having one. Nothing's been submitted yet since the admins need to review my application (Apparently that is a thing on there in order to submit stuff). I'll be submitting all my TF stuff that I have on here, excluding images in my Scraps -https://www.transfur.com/Users/adaru32
Some Activity Done (Relates To Previous Journals + More)
General | Posted 5 years agoHey, how's it going? So Fur Affinity responded to my one trouble ticket about the art thief harassing me, 
BengalBoy, and 
kooncds in his latest journal. They took his journal down but upon doing so, they removed 3 of my 4 journal entries warning about the art thief. It's a bummer, but it is part of their site guidelines that we're not allowed to warn about art thieves, and other troublesome activity on here. The reason has to do with this stalker incident that happened on here some time ago, and they don't want that same mistake happening again. So the reason for my 1 entry not being taken down is because it links to Deviantart (A 3rd party website which the admins can't do anything about), which is where the art thief was found as well, and kinda what started this whole mess.
Here are links to my other profiles where I will warn about more art theft activity if it happens again (I'm debating whether to make a Transfur account as well one day. I'll notify if that ever happens):
Deviantart -https://www.deviantart.com/dantever.....ar/gallery/all
Twitter -https://twitter.com/Adaru32
Tumblr -https://adaru32.tumblr.com/

On a side note, I've been working on a little something I've been meaning to get done for awhile now. Those of you who follow me on Deviantart and Twitter may know what I'm talking about, so stay tuned.

Found An Art Thief On Deviantart Eyeballing My Work
General | Posted 5 years agoHeya. So out of curiosity I was looking at random werewolf transformation pieces on Deviantart, and came across someone who made an image using elements from various pieces of mine without giving credit. He/She made some changes, and pieced the elements together like a puzzle to make it look more original. But it still would've been nice if he/she gave credit for the references used. I have never interacted with this person before and have never heard nor seen this person until just now. But to top it off, he/she turned off comments and won't allow me to access the person's profile (Almost like I'm blocked).
Here's the piece I'm talking about that I came across ->https://www.deviantart.com/mmwenm/a.....cept-840577509
The head & neck reference the person used from this piece of mine ->https://www.furaffinity.net/view/22525574/
The one paw reference the person used from this piece of mine ->https://www.furaffinity.net/view/29489235/
The one hind leg reference the person used from this piece of mine ->https://www.furaffinity.net/view/29123590/
There are various other references that look familiar to me from my pieces but I can't seem to find and figure out what other elements he/she used from my pieces. Here's my art folder containing all my transformation related pieces if you people want to find any other elements this person used ->https://www.furaffinity.net/gallery.....rmation-Images
And here's my scraps folder which contain some other transformation pieces of mine, too ->https://www.furaffinity.net/scraps/moonbeast-ar/

Debating About Having Ko-Fi
General | Posted 5 years agoHey, how's it going? I've made a status on my Twitter, Deviantart, and Tumblr about this as well, but I'm debating about getting a Ko-Fi account. I see a lot of artists I follow use it, and hear great things about it like how it's free, and no BS stuff. The only problem is inconsistent and unknown times for me to make art often due to being busy and all over the place with other things. But in a way, it would also help me concentrate on my art a bit more since I miss doing that often. I need something that will keep me away from these distractions that I get sidetracked by (The most common distractions being reading messages, checking updates on various sites, watching vids on Youtube, and doodling things that aren't even worth sharing).
I've tried donation pools on here, Deviantart, and Paypal with hardly any luck. Then again, Deviantart's just their Points System that's exclusive to their site only. Fur Affinity's Shinies connect to Paypal, and not a lot of people are a fan of Paypal (I use Paypal for me and other people to pay for commissions). Plus their donation minimum is $5 at a time, whereas Ko-Fi is about $1. Something to think about.
On a side note, hope you all are doing okay from what's been happening in our world. I've been okay, myself. I've been keeping myself busy and caught up with things (Reading messages and updates seem to be taking the most time away from me. Even making vids for my Youtube channel -https://www.youtube.com/user/adelle....._as=subscriber). The grocery store cashier job seems to be the only thing stressing me out. I always dread going there even more than before now. Ever since mid March (When this whole thing started), so far I've only had 1 really bad day, and have been treated good about 85% of the time when I'm there. But I always get anxious that a customer will at any time fuck everything up (Pardon my language. Just expressing myself).
On another note, I've heard of the follow-up regarding this site's audio policies that I mentioned in my previous journal. Seems like I may be in the clear. Their disruptive sound rule refers to really loud screeching, or jumpscare stuff, like what some people have guessed that rule meant.

New FA Policy Affecting My Audios
General | Posted 5 years agoHey there, how's it going everyone? Thanks to 
locomotiveman92, I found out that Fur Affinity has made a policy regarding audio content. Not sure how long this policy's been up for, but this is something that me and him just recently found out. I still won't be accepting audio commissions till further notice, so keep an eye on my journals on when I'll be accepting more. I have 2 that are already almost a full year overdue.
So the policy is "Section 5.1, Disruptive or Sexual Audio: Content containing sexual or obscene sounds is prohibited unless part of a relevant animation or loop. Audio that is intentionally disruptive (e.g. loud, screeching) is not permitted."
Mine don't really contain a lot of sexual content in the first place since it's not my thing. The only things sexual would be the foot fetish stuff (Which I don't accept anymore, starting last year), and the constant moans & groans, dialogue saying "This feels so good", and heavy breathing (Which is my limit for what sexual content is acceptable in my audios).
However, it looks like I'll have to rethink on how to create my audios if they're to be submitted on here. Loud noises add to the effect on my audio content at times, but looks like some sounds can be considered as too disruptive or loud. Luckily I submit them on my Youtube channel as well depending on what I feel is acceptable to post on there (You can find it here:https://www.youtube.com/user/adelle....._as=subscriber). One of these days I'll probably have to consider getting an ASMR microphone since that type of mic is really great with recording really quiet sounds, and in top notch quality as well. There would be sounds that I make that sound loud to me but nobody else in person can hear them very well, and my current mic (Which is just a Rock Band video game mic) doesn't pick up on some of the sounds I make. ASMR mics can be expensive but it is something to think about if I wanna continue with my audios. The 2 audio commissions that are on the waiting list luckily don't really contain too loud of noises (Still have to wait till my family's out for me to record, though). But what I'm confused about is the disruptive noise policy, and makes me question on what sounds are considered as "disruptive" to others. My audios haven't been removed yet, so we'll see.

So the policy is "Section 5.1, Disruptive or Sexual Audio: Content containing sexual or obscene sounds is prohibited unless part of a relevant animation or loop. Audio that is intentionally disruptive (e.g. loud, screeching) is not permitted."
Mine don't really contain a lot of sexual content in the first place since it's not my thing. The only things sexual would be the foot fetish stuff (Which I don't accept anymore, starting last year), and the constant moans & groans, dialogue saying "This feels so good", and heavy breathing (Which is my limit for what sexual content is acceptable in my audios).
However, it looks like I'll have to rethink on how to create my audios if they're to be submitted on here. Loud noises add to the effect on my audio content at times, but looks like some sounds can be considered as too disruptive or loud. Luckily I submit them on my Youtube channel as well depending on what I feel is acceptable to post on there (You can find it here:https://www.youtube.com/user/adelle....._as=subscriber). One of these days I'll probably have to consider getting an ASMR microphone since that type of mic is really great with recording really quiet sounds, and in top notch quality as well. There would be sounds that I make that sound loud to me but nobody else in person can hear them very well, and my current mic (Which is just a Rock Band video game mic) doesn't pick up on some of the sounds I make. ASMR mics can be expensive but it is something to think about if I wanna continue with my audios. The 2 audio commissions that are on the waiting list luckily don't really contain too loud of noises (Still have to wait till my family's out for me to record, though). But what I'm confused about is the disruptive noise policy, and makes me question on what sounds are considered as "disruptive" to others. My audios haven't been removed yet, so we'll see.
