It's my birthday today! ^^ I am now officially 2.5 years old~

This year has been extremely rough, for A LOT of reasons, but at least I get to celebrate today ^^ I have some fun stuff planned to do over my birthday weekend too, so I'm looking forward to that~ It's a nice pick-me-up in what's been a god-awful year =v=;

Also, a quick art update! I've been trying my best to work through as much of my queue as I can recently. I've made some progress, but there's still a lot to go through, heck. IF YOU'RE STILL WAITING ON A COMMISSION FROM ME, PLEASE SEND ME A NOTE ON FA OR A DM ON BLUESKY OR DISCORD. I have everything I owe physically written down, but this year has been messy and all over the place for me. I want to make absolutely sure that no one has slipped through the cracks in my queue. I know there's quite a few people who asked me about a comm, but we never got around to sending payment or getting a sketch ready, so they never officially got added to my queue. Whether we're still in the discussion phase, or if you're waiting on an already-paid pic from me, please send me a reminder as soon as possible! I just want to make absolutely sure that I haven't missed or forgotten about anyone. I want to finally get this beast of a queue finished before the end of the year so that I can move on to some big projects that I've been wanting to do, and I want to make sure that no one accidentally slips past me ^^;

On the topic of art and money, I really want to avoid taking any more commissions until everything I owe is finally done, which means I might not have any new money flowing for a while. If you'd like to help keep me afloat while I work on my queue, or if you'd just like to send me a small little birthday present, any support on my Ko-fi goes a long way towards helping me out! ^^

Thank you all for being so patient with me! These past few years have been a struggle, but I'm trying my best to get through them. I'll still have more regular art on the way, although it may be a bit slow until I can finally get my queue done <v>

I've been super busy with a bunch of irl stuff this year, but things are finally starting to go back to normal now, and I'm trying my best to get back to drawing regularly. But all the irl stuff from the past few months has left me extremely low on funds. I'm really struggling to afford food and make rent right now =^= Any help to keep me afloat right now would be greatly appreciated, heck. I'm really sorry to ask for donations again, but I don't have any other choice. I haven't been able to draw for months due to irl stuff, so my queue is backed up and I can't open for any new comms. I'm trying to focus on what I owe right now, but I need some help keeping food on the table =^=;

https://ko-fi.com/nyxiette

It really makes me feel like a failure having to ask for donations like this, but being alive is more expensive than I can afford, and there's not exactly many jobs to go around these days. Believe me, I've been looking X^X I really want to draw more often, and hopefully I'll have the time to do that now so I won't have to ask for support like this again, heck. I have every comm I owe written down, but feel free to send me a reminder regardless if I still owe you something. I've been extremely busy these past few months and I know I haven't been able to respond to everyone =^=;

UPDATE: I was able to pick up a lot of food today thanks to everyone's support! I should be good for quite a while now, thank you all so much! ^^ Now that I have plenty of time to myself and lots of food stocked up, I'll do my best to make lots of new art for people and finish what I owe~ uvu

With some year-long problems finally clearing up for me (won't go into detail here, I already talked about that stuff at length on my Bluesky), I figured I'd check in and ask you guys what you'd like to see from me going forward. Are there any characters/scenarios you wanna see? Anything in my art that I could try to improve on? If you have any ideas or constructive criticism for me, feel free to let me know~ ^^

FA has finally made some good changes for once with its new 2.7 revision! I deleted some pics a few months ago during the initial ABDL purge and panic, so I'll be reuploading those slowly over the course of the next few weeks, along with some pics that I've never shared on FA before~ So if you're an FA-only follower and haven't seen my art on Twitter or Bluesky (seriously, go follow me on Bluesky! https://bsky.app/profile/nyxiette.bsky.social ) then you're in for a treat~ uvu

On a different note, I'm currently working on a big life update document regarding what happened to me in 2024, my current status with commissions and YCHs, and what I plan to do for art in the future, so be on the look out for that sometime before the end of the month~

I'm still working on some stuff, and I'm making decent progress, but in the meantime, you should go follow me on Bluesky! Twitter/X has been going to heck for a while, and it's only going to get worse, so I'm officially migrating away from it. I'll be using Bluesky (and sometimes FA still) to share my art from now on!~ ^v^

https://bsky.app/profile/nyxiette.bsky.social

It's my birthday today! I wish I could be happier about it, but 2024 has been the worst year of my life so far =v= Things have just been getting progressively worse and worse throughout the year, and my art output has suffered for it. This past month especially sucked because of the hurricane I had to go through. I couldn't draw for 2 weeks and basically missed any chance of drawing some Halloween stuff for this year, heck

And now with FA in such a tumultuous state, I don't know if I can rely on this site for much longer. As of right now, I'm currently using Bluesky as my main art page ( https://bsky.app/profile/nyxiette.bsky.social ) but I'll likely make another account somewhere else soon, too. I'll keep uploading to FA for now, but I'm going to be very selective about what I upload here

I'll be making a more in-depth life update once I get some new stuff set up, posted some new art, and gotten my queue cleared out a bit. But in the meantime, if you'd like to help make my birthday a little bit better, it would really help me out a ton if you could donate some money to my ko-fi ^^; A little bit of help goes a long way to helping me afford food and rent while I try to get back on my feet after the hurricane, and after this year in general XvX

https://ko-fi.com/nyxiette

Thank you all so much for your patience, I'll try to get more art ready for you all soon. I do have some big stuff cooking up, so be on the look out for that soon~ >v>

Just wanted to say, sorry for the lack of art. Everything has been consistently going wrong all at once. Despite how badly I want to draw, despite everything I owe in my queue, despite all the ideas I want to make real, I just haven't had the time or energy to draw much at all =^=;

Every time I think that things are getting better, they just get worse again. I'm trying my best right now to get back on a consistent art schedule, but things are just... rough for me, right now. I think 2024 might be the worst year of my life since 2016.

Anyways, I don't want to vent too much here, I just wanted to give a quick update about what's been going on. I want to draw and make more art and finish up everything in my queue so, so badly, but life is hard right now. And I don't know when it will get any easier.

Heya, just dropping in with a quick status update! I'm still working on some old comms and YCHs that I owe~ It's a slow process, but my queue is gradually getting smaller and smaller, and soon it'll be completely empty!~ ^^ And once it is, I'll start opening comms up publicly again~

In between working on comms, I've also been working on some pics for my SubStar! I only have a few pics ready so far, but once I have a good amount of stuff on there, I'll be opening it up with a bunch of different rewards!~ Look forward to that in about 2 weeks~ ^^

And of course, happy Vore Day!~ I'm working on a pretty big project for the occasion right now, but I still need a little more time work on it, sorry about that ^^; It should be ready by tomorrow! I swear, I'll get faster at drawing eventually! >v< Thanks for your patience, everyone~

This year has been an absolute nightmare for me so far, for so many reasons. I want to turn it around. There are some things irl that are out of my control, but regarding my art, I have a few goals that I want to accomplish this month:

1. Finish every single commission and YCH in my queue that I still owe
2. Properly launch my SubStar page, with at least 3 new pics being added to it each week
3. Open commissions publicly again, once my current queue is empty
4. If possible, I want to start working on animations and comics/sequences again

Thank you all so much for your patience with me this year so far, things have been really tough lately, for a number of reasons that I don't want to get into. I've tried constantly to get a job wherever I possibly can, with no luck at all. So my main goal right now is to double down on my art, get more consistent with it, and start doing commissions more regularly, along with working on my SubStar page.

In the meantime however, I've really been struggling to make ends meet when it comes to food and rent =^= I can't provide any sketches or rewards right now, but if you want to help support me while I try to pull myself together, any donations to my Ko-Fi would be greatly appreciated. Every little bit helps!~ ^^

If you'd like to help me out while I try to get back on my feet, then any amount of support at all would mean the world to me <3

Today, Patreon has purged more than two dozen ABDL artists from their site, including famous artists like Bubbles. This purge comes with no warning to anyone, and it's happening right before the end of the month, just before artists receive their monthly payment from Patreon. Rent is due in just a few days for most people, and the holidays are just around the corner. Many artists, including myself, depended on Patreon to provide a stable income, and now they've just pulled the rug out from under us. This is a malicious attack against NSFW creators, many of whom are now in a financial struggle to pay this month's rent.

I've been stressed as heck all morning, trying to figure out what to do and where to go from here. Please, if you can afford any amount of support, just the smallest little bit can go a long way to helping out all of the artists who have been affected by this sudden purge. I'll be leaving a link to my own ko-fi at the bottom of this journal, if you'd like to support me. Now that I can't rely on Patreon for income anymore, I'm in a huge struggle myself =^= Please support any artists you know who have been victims of this sudden change, we all need it right now...

Happy birbday to me~ uvu

Time to stuff some cake down my pamps!~

So, with FA dropping potentially dropping the ban hammer on a lot of artists today, and Twitter struggling to keep itself afloat, it's been really stressful for us artists. There's not really any other big, stable platform for us to move to right now. I'll keep using FA and Twitter for as long as I can, but if you want a reliable place to see my art and chat with me, then I have a Patreon Discord server that I use every day.

You can gain access to my server by donating just $5 to my Patreon, and you'll get to stay there even if you unpledge later. You'll only lose access to a few channels, not the whole server itself. And if you want to continue supporting me even after initially joining, then I'd really appreciate it!~ <3 I don't enjoy paywalling my own server, but it does help keep a lot of the more problematic people out, especially minors =w=

I wish I didn't have to resort to Discord as my main platform, but every single social media site seems hell-bent on shooting themselves in the foot right now. The future of this whole community is really uncertain, and we don't really have anywhere to go. A lot of artists, including myself, are really struggling. Again, I'll keep using FA and Twitter for as long as I can, but if you want to support me and chat with me, then be sure to hit up my Patreon for my Discord server~

With FA's new policy changes threatening many artists, especially diaper artists like myself, this site has pretty much nailed the final nail in its own coffin. If these new changes go through, then a bunch of my art is going to get nuked, along with tons of other great pamp artists on here. I can't even draw my own sona anymore, despite him being the same age as me. Apparently all short people are children, according to the mods.

I won't be deleting all my art immediately, just in the off-chance that the FA mods back down from these new changes (although I highly doubt they will). I'll still be posting art here, responding to notes, and finishing up everything I owe on here until the time comes. In the meantime though, you guys should be trying to back up and save all the art you can from this site, because A LOT of it is going to be completely purged very soon.

Twitter is going to become my main account from now on, so be sure to follow me on there:

FA has been dying for years, but they've really sealed their fate with these new changes now.

Heya, just figured I'd give a quick update on some stuff. Don't worry, it's nothing bad~

First of all, I finished my new computer! Actually, I finished it over 2 months ago and just forgot to mention it on here <v> People have kept asking me about it in notes, so I figured I'd mention it here lol. It runs great, and I've been able to draw a ton of stuff on it so far~ uvu

Second, all of the YCHs are still coming along! Sorry if I've been a bit slow for some people, some unexpected IRL stuff came up that kept me busy <v> I can 100% guarantee that every YCH will be done by the end of the month though, don't worry!~ ^v^

Third of all, due to FA being a little weird and unpredictable with their rules, I'm going to be slightly more picky with what I upload on here, just to be safe. If you want to see ALL of my art, you can find it on my Twitter and Patreon! I'll link them at the end of this journal~ uvu Just to be clear, this doesn't mean I'm gonna stop uploading on here! I'm just gonna be more careful with what I post.

Fourth, if you would like to get a non-YCH commission from me, then I'll be opening up my commission slots at the start of next month! I'll make another journal post when I open up, so be on the look-out for that~ uvu

And finally, as usual, my Patreon and Ko-Fi are open to everyone who wants to support my work~ If you'd like to become a patron, then I have quite a few tiers available, including one that gives you 20% off on ALL commissions and YCHs~ If you'd rather just send a tip though, then my Ko-Fi is always open!~

Thanks for reading! ^v^

I said this in my most recent pic, but I figured I should make a journal about it too for more visibility.

Long story short, my PC died on me, leaving me unable to draw or earn any money for a month, and I had trouble logging into Twitter and FA on mobile. I've just recently gotten it temporarily fixed, so I can at least draw again for a little while.

For a more permanent solution, I'm working on building a new PC, and thankfully my family is helping me cover the costs. However, I still need to worry about my other expenses, like food and rent. I've been out of a job for a month, so money's a bit tight right now...

If you'd like to help me out, then please consider donating to my Ko-fi, it'd mean the world to me. Every little bit helps, and I promise I'll have more art to share soon~

It is officially my birthday~

If anyone has any ideas, let me know~ >v>

Thank you to everyone who donated to my hurricane relief fund drive! ^v^ With your help, I surpassed my goal, and I finished posting all of my milestone pics~ I won't have to struggle for money for a while uvu

Now, I'll try to work on getting some spooky and spoopy pics done for you guys this month~ >v>
