commission interest
General | Posted a month agoi’m currently looking to take on more commissions. i’ve recently moved into a new place, so i’m working hard to cover rent and keep things stable.
i’ve been drawing a lot lately — streaming, finishing previous work, and putting a lot of care into every piece. art is something i genuinely live for, and i always do my best to make sure my clients feel comfortable and happy throughout the process.
if you’ve ever wanted to get your character drawn by me, this would be a really good time! i’d absolutely love to work with you and bring your ideas to life
and if you’re not looking for a commission right now, i’d be incredibly grateful if you could share this journal or my commission posts — it really helps more than you might think
thank you so much for your support, it truly means a lot to me.

COMMISSIONS and some letters about life situation 😔
General | Posted 3 months agohello, subscribers!
i’ll split this text into two parts, one shorter and one longer.
i was deported from russia, where i lived for almost 10 years, and for the past 3 months i’ve been living in georgia (the country) alone, without support. because of this, right now i need work more than ever. i post my price list in my gallery, and i work in different directions — whether it’s portraits, illustrations, black and white or color, soft or textured work. i really love working, i put a lot of myself into the drawing process, and even though i may take a long time to deliver commissions, i do my work very carefully and with high quality.
now more about life, the details of which i left for the longer part of the text.
i work very hard on old commissions; in december i completed 6 commissions. i adjusted to a working pace around mid-november, but the first two months were a period of adaptation and shock, while i was getting used to a new life. it’s a funny situation, but deportation made my life… better?
before the forced move, i was in an abusive relationship, and it strongly restricted me and damaged my mental state. only after being left alone did i stop wasting energy on unnecessary and painful interactions, and also, hehe, i stopped spending time and energy trying to legalize myself in russia, where that sometimes meant standing in lines for documents from 4 a.m. (what a fucking nightmare it is when you have ukrainian citizenship, lol).
anyway, now i have a different problem: i finally have the energy and motivation to work, but for some reason i can’t find new clients — something that hasn’t happened to me in over 10 years — and it makes me anxious. i really love drawing, and i put a lot of effort and time into every commission, and somehow each new drawing becomes a revelation for me. in 20 days, rent is due (more precisely, for a room, since i now live in a huge apartment with roommates), and also i really want to eat… i’ve come a long way, and i don’t want to end my career as an artist, considering that i still have a lot more of my creative side to show.
i think tomorrow i’ll add new commission options at lower prices; it would be great to see new or returning clients and move forward through this difficult life.
