Have a good weekend!
Still breathin
General | Posted 3 years agoYo, hope ya'll been doin better in these recent times.
So yeah i've been pretty absent. I miss hanging with ya'll on streams and in comment sections of my art post. I suppose that's largely due to a change in my dynamic with art and what it is for me.
In short due to unresolved mental health issues; i burned myself out on art when i went fulltime commissions in 2019. It started as the happiest time of my life while i had a safety net to keep me afloat. I truly loved being able to spend my days being with friends and talking to ya'll while i worked on commissions; lving life my terms and flow. However due to my unresolved mental issues, and simply inexperience with fulltime freelancing; I wasnt at all doing it in the right ways for me. I left myself no room for life balance, time or breathing room, and i simply did not set myself up for healthy success. So yeah, ya'll better give yourself ways for balance if ya'll pursue a passion fulltime, it's not worth overdoing the hustle.
the 2020s have been a weird mixed bag. 2020 kinda slipped away, but i was overall doing better sability wise. 2019 had both my worst and best times, so in my personal life 2020 was an improvement. 2021 I finally had internal revelations about my problems in 2021; to which i begam changing my life around and working on myself, experiencing periods of time of authentic piece and happiness for the first time since I was in elementary school. I also had worked another fulltime job, which expended a tremendous amount of time and energy, but i endured and cleared my debts in 2022. And i completed my last session of therapy in december, and have been living my healthiest self in my life since I was 12.
So if the 2020s kept getting better, where did the art go?
The hunger went away. Its complicated; however in the more positive ways to spin it is that I realized i had let go of toxic motivations for chasing art; and allowed myself the option of not leaning on art as my only means of purpose in life. Envy, jealousy, insecurity, pride, fear. They took over the joy of art i had held. I started art more innocent and free spirited (yes even the nsfw posts); but then said toxic motivations crept in and I blinded myself. I lost my way, the innocence in my motives for art were buried. So when i lost my toxic motivations, there was little to drive me to do art, even when the "burnout" was gone. So I had no reason to pursue art projects, and forgot the reasons i found healthy joy with them. Again, it was a me problem. Fatty art, furry themes, etc; they are all authentic reasons to draw if you get joy out of them, like I had before; however i let external and internal toxic motivations sap that out from me.
I also learned more about what really sparks me. I still like big characters the most in any project I do; however i broadened my horizons and am still working on that.
I'd like to think with my debts cleared, internal turmoils resolved (and given the toolkits to keep them from overtaking me again), and time on my hands that I'll eventually recover a joy in art like before. At the moment my life is stable, and that's a good of a thing to cherish as any. Can't have the room to introspect and work on art without that stability.
However, ever since my layoff in July, i had worked on recovering myself (again) to refine my art skills again. Even if most days i dont even get a full sketch in; I have been consistently been making attempts, and some strides
As far as the future of this channel; i dont know for certain. I think i've pivoted a lot in my art interests so i feel this page has a weird middle ground i've not been drawing in. I simply havent had much things to share for this page. I will say if i did; it wouldn't have the same gainer/flaunting focus like i did before. More slice of life works that happen to have big characters in them. Maybe a lil hip check here and there in my art, cute playful teases at most. We'll see what i do. I've learned how i like drawing fat art themes in recent days, so should i have a hunger for it again you'll defintely be seeing it
So until then, I wish ya'll a happy 2023!

General | Posted 5 years agoHello fellas!
It's been a while i've updated here, something i intend to make time for soon; but you can definitely check out my latest artworks on twitter! (even the ones from tacopandastudio are mine, thats my alt account!) https://twitter.com/OliverKinter
I intended to open commissions today, however unfortunately I got the medical news that i am indeed positive. I still aim to take and complete commissions, however I know my limits and I hope you understand if progress is slow during the following week so I can rest enough
I'd most definitely appreciate if you understand my current situation and if you're willing to work with a slower pace while I work through the Covid virus, so I dont overwork myself. I'll post the updated price sheet when im open officially!
Opening in an hour, 12pm pacific!
Thank you all and have a lovely weekend!!

Life updates!
General | Posted 5 years agoWell so far been safe and healthy during all this so that's good news!
Also been having the lovely pleasure of becoming addicted to Animal Crossing! Still early in the game and it's my first installment of the series so i've got lots of fun things to discover!
However once more i've had to close up shop on taking new commissions because I've started a new fulltime job, and boy does it drain me , haha. But i'm doin well at home so at least i have the peace at mind to draw more liberally!
I actually wont post much for now because i want to enjoy drawing without thinking about social media, just wanna draw for myself again! But once i'm more in my groove i'll be posting what i've been working on!

opening slots 9/22/18 sunday , price/tier changes (reduced)
General | Posted 6 years agoGonna open some more slots tomorrow at 12pm pacific time!
In addition i decided to simplify my art tier options and adjust the prices accordingly.
Sketch lined - $20 , $15 for extra chars
Sketch colored and shaded - $45, 25 per extra char
Theme of the week sketches- $35, 25 extra per char (will be colored and shaded)
Ink lineart - $30, $18 per extra char
Ink flat color - $40, $24 per extra char
Ink shaded- $60, $36 per extra char (will always be full rendered)
Details and further explanation-
Sketches- Main change is that sketch drawings will be available anytime, and no longer restricted to just sketch streams. Prices are unchanged.
Themed sketches- I will be doing "Theme of the week" discounts where for a given week i'll draw characters under a certain theme of my choosing at a lower price (examples: fantasy themes, holiday themes, species and tf themes, fat themes ). Note that complex props may still be added in for extra, though for theme-sketches i won't do complex perspectives and compositions (unless announced otherwise )
Ink drawing shading tiers- I decided with ink drawings to remove light render tier since my colored sketches are just about the same quality and a tad cheaper; and thus all shaded pictures will come out as a full render. However, to even it out i did lower the starting price of shaded inks to $60 and quality will not be reduced either. (honestly i didn't like giving myself a handicap on the ink light render since those are meant to be my polished works)
