Pretty sure it doesn't need to be a journal, but I have posted all of my works for few months. All worked and acquired. I do hope these pieces did not swamp your feeds too much, I tied to space them out as best as I could so that it gets too overwhelming for some.

I'll be able to post regularly now that the big project I was working on has been handled. 😌💦

Till next time. And thank you for taking the time to read this.

As the title say, a load of art is dropping int the coming week.

If it wasn't obvious from the post. I have created the new prices. After folks kept telling me to increase them, and years of having it worked and ready but never posted till now. All and all, I am a bit worried that the prices are a bit steep but I also hope the added options will be for the better. I know a few folks wanted just a portrait but I didn't have a way to gauge that one right.

Along with these prices and changes, I went ahead and added actual Ref Sheets and Sketch Pages due to recent demands and works involving them, so these should come in handy.

Big Womp Womp on animations though. Though I am still willing to do them, I will heavily weigh them to a no if they are a bit ambitious, but not against doing a nice little gif if what is asked is good for my schedule. Also, I just have the animation options very limited for the time being but i think it is fine for just being the base price.

That aside, I am planning on opening relatively soon for the public now that everything has been settled.

If you read my journals, then here is your only warning.

In the next hour, There will be alot of art dropping one after another.
There is also a few more following after a some hours

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

With it being a new year, it is time to make some changes. Not if this will be considered a long update but there are some changes.

Commissions will be coming back either this month or next month, so if you were wanting to get something
from me, you may have some chances.

While over the the holiday, I have been getting request for comms and some were pretty simple and could
be done in the day while also having to make time for the family. But now that the holiday is done, I can get
back to it. Though i will start with the 3 - 4 i have gotten sometime last month before starting on some new
ones this year. I already have them selected so no need to rush. I'll announce when comms are open.

Speaking of comms, Last time i was just taking comms after comms with a very slow turn out. And because
of that, i'm going to bring the work down to two comms at a time instead of an ever growing list. This should
help in some way instead of being swamped. XD

This also needs to be noted as I had a few questions about this. Will i ever do animations? The answer is yes,
but might just open up to doing loops and not massive project like my last efforts. those are good but they took
so long to make. So for those with an interest, please don't be too ambitious if you come by with them.

I should also announce that after three years of edging, if i want to call it that, I have finally created a price
sheet and have it ready to post, just need to update the old prices to the new ones. But I will do that after I finish
up with ones i have now.

That being said, I also want to say I am aiming to do more personal stuff with these changes. As well as try to learn some new things and do some trades if those come my my way. So that is the update on my ends for the year.

If some were aware, I was taking a two month break from doing commissions as I had a hell of a backlog. Currently now, the at log has been tackled and managed to clear them all out.

Now where the apology is needed, is with the comm list that, for the past two months along with no update stating i was going to go on break. I can't blame anyone but myself for that due to laziness. But that was then, so no need to worry about that.

Now for the obvious, Comms are open again, but I must make this very clear. Due to my job being a full time and not the best at providing the best shifts or days off (especially this summer), so commissions will take time to get through, If they are simple sketches, i can get them done with in a few days, but big works like comics and and extensive/complicated projects could take weeks to even a month at times. so please be patient with me.

With that being the case. I'm going to try and use my trello again (now that i was able to sign back in after forgetting my password) to help with commissions and listings.

With that, I am glad to say that things are back in order.

I'll be opening comms yet again, For this though, I'll be doing 4 from the get go as a first come first serve. But i'll still be accepting comms up until the weekend. If there is a whole lot up to that point, I might have to let rng decide the few.

By the way, Keep in mind that the pricing will be changing when the weekend hits so if you want them at their current price, do make sure to get in on this.

Also, cause I know it will be asked. Animations are still off the table as is. they might make a return, but I will need time to get back into them again.


Here are the prices if any of which is needed. Commission Prices

*New Prices Drop*

---

Summer is up and with it, another update on my activities.

First things first, I want to establish a few things. Although comms will be returning, It is best to state that I will be doing some price adjustment after the first batch. It has been stated that I need to bring them up to speed, as many have already said in the past, so if you have any ideas or examples, don't be afraid to provide. The changes will be worked on this coming weekend so there is time.

On a separate note, After all the commissions I have gotten in the past few months, I'm going change how i receive and do commissions. I'll still do the initial 4 for this batch, but this time i'll keep them open until this weekend. The plan is to not over do it and take it at a steady pace rather than my rushed pace that I used to do. And depending on how much I have done or on the approach of a new month, I'll select a new set of comms. This is the plan for now.

Also, and this is just mostly just to experiment with and practice, I am willing to do YCHs again after years of not doing them. they will not be my go to, but i wouldn't mind giving it a go again.


Not much for this update but here we go. I'll make another post for comms so keep a look out if you like.

I will be taking 4 commissions this go around. But these are going to have to be a bit limited. Due to time, I can't do any Comics, Sequences or Gifs. If I could I would, but to avoid them from bleeding into the next few months, I have to set a limit. With that said. You can have up to a Sketch to a Cel/shaded as well as Stickers. So if you are interested leave a comment saying you are and I'll pick randomly from there.

Check status on Trello Here.

Hey there, Been a good while. (abut 4 months i think) I am doing another update as I tend to do. This one shouldn't be too big, but good to state at least.

1. I am changing my work (arting schedule) I will be doing commissions if i have any on the weekends and leaving my Mon-Fri open as they tend to be heavy with work, needs and family. During those day, I'll squeeze in some personal but i can't do much other than like 30min to an hour. But that I feel it is possible

2. I haven't been very active for the past few months, and with summer coming around I'll have even less time do much before I go to work. So because of that, I'll try and do some Stream Comms or Requests. I'll announce it so look out for those.

3. I have been on and off on an animation for longer than intended. I plan on getting working on it full stop once summer fully rolls around cause honestly it has been far too long.

4. Starting to day, I'll be taking four comms. I'll post up a journal for a listing as well as details.


Lastly. Through most of this, I have been mentioning summer a lot. Well under normal circumstances it wouldn't be an issue, but due to my current employment. my hours will be straining me to my limits. Which means i would not be able to do much through the summer. at least from late May to August.

With that being said, this is update thus far. I'll be back with another if something new stirs up.

Just a heads up, I will be dropping some art that I have had for some time. They span from Jan to Feb to say it loosely, but most of the art here deals with January's theme of all reptiles in some manor. There will be one more drop this month based on valentines and the like, so keep that in mind.

(Might ad more to this down the road, but this is all I have to say)

Ok, so I know it has been a long while since my last update, but here we are. And thus, changes as per the usual. Not really sure how to go about this one, but this might be how I do things. at least not until I find a particular groove.

1. Commissions and Request Hoarding:
To simplify, For the past few months folks from all around have been asking with curiosity or interest about commissions. I personally said I was busy and informed that I would put them on the list. But I can't lie, I don't have any form of self control, especially when people find an interest in my works. Because of that, I just accepted the offers. Which would just have me repeating the same mistakes as I did last year. So starting today, I'm going to fix that. All commissions and requests that are not currently official will be dropped, this may be a bit in-considerate, but I don't want to have a repeat of last year. It still eats a way at me and remains on my conscious.
As an additional change, I'm going to follow what I have been seeing around here and there. That being "Opening slots whenever the artists feels" rather than them being open forever. I personally don't want to make this decision, but the lack of this method was a fault of mine without being aware of it. I'm hoping this would help not hoard so many ideas while I still have so much to work on. I'm not a full time artist, so I sadly don't have that kind of time so spend. Along with this change, I went ahead and made a Trello to help with listing and orders. Which means the "List" will be retired soon. I do hope all understand. This was not easy, but it is for the best.

2. Animations getting a little looser:
As time has passed, I am going to be allowing short gifs/ animations. And I do mean short. Long to medium animations are still off the table, but I'm willing to try. Just do be reasonable with the commissions.

3. Personal projects:
There is not much to this aside from stating that I do have some projects I am interested in getting to, they may have not been up front and center, but They have been there for some time. I aim to do them moving forward hopefully, along with some things in between comms and such.


That is the update for the most part. I would assume it is not the best for some, but noticing the unhealthy habit and dealing with it now is probably for the best. If some are still interested, I would advise that you wait till I am open for them. By the way, as of this moment. I am empty on comms but still with family, so I can't outright get back into it. But I will be back at it again.

A little late o my part, but Happy new years yall. Hope everything went well and some of ya got a bit more than the "Usual" Preparing an update at the moment so stay tuned for a little more.

again

HAPPY NEW YEARS

Hey hey, it has been a while since my last journal post. But now that I have finished up the “LIST” I can get back to the usaul. And with that come the normal updates. So lets get right in to it.

Influxof Watchers:

I can’t thank you enough for the amount of yall that enjoy my works of degeneracy. I know I have not been able to do any milestones to show thanks, but that might have to honestly be the last thing I do. Like literaly, it can honestly wait. But rest assured, I will figure something out for that.

Commission Status:

I know before I would do 6 slots, but now that I have been working with a 9-5 job, those slots had to be cut down to 2 at a time. That way I don’t overload myself like I kinda tend to do. I still hold to the previous update that if the commission is simple enough I’ll extend the slots out, but for most part moving forward, 2 slots initially is where I will go.

Animations:

After doing 3 animations and taking utmost a year to a year and a half to finish them, I will be putting them on a hiatus and only work on them for personal practice of or intrigue. As much as it brings me joy that some if not most have an interest in my recent works, I cannot deny that I’m just not at level where I can do in a reasonable time like I hoped. There were plenty of moments where they could have been finished early or just simply worked on but thing came up put a hamper on that every so often. Especially one that seems to have preceded to stay and cause problems even now. I will bring them back at some point, but for now, I’ll just animate for personal reasons.

Trades and Requests:

Now I’m not sure if some are aware of the fact that I do trades (requests are a bit rare but I do do them on occasion, but I initiate them. Not the other way around.) When it comes to these, please bear in mind that I expect at least some form of quality. The quality is not like Danza level, in no way do you have to be there, but I don’t want it to poor just so you can score some free art. I know that’s a thing, I know the hustle. They will still be handled like requests, so once you provide the idea, its one and done. As for requests in particular, I will keep those in monthly themes and streams. Mostly because those are in the moment and I think is more interactive.

Prices are Changing...again:

It seems like every update I change the Prices in some way, that is no different here. I’m leaving the main still images alone, but comics and animations will be messed with in terms of characters, backgrounds and a few things too.

Minor Comic Change:

I am just doin this cause there are moment when I want to fill in more panels in a single page. So I’m just going to take off the panel limit, but if there are too many panels, I will have to charge for that. So keep that in mind.



Lastly, I know I have a few commissions in the works, their prices will remain as we agreed upon, sop no change will happen to them

That should be it for the most part, if there is something I forgot, I will update it.

Not as late as last month, but still need to acknowledge it my lateness.

So this update is going to be a small one, but has some pretty big repercussions. Do bare in mind that this was not easy accept, but with my situation, choices had to be made.


1. After working with my new job for some time, I have an understanding of what I can and can’t do when it comes to doing commissions. Because of this, I have deduced that the amount of slots will be at two for base, but can extend to 4 at max depending on what the first two are.

2. After this batch of comms are done, Animations will take a back seat for the time being until I can get them down more consistently. This means that I will not be taking any further animation commissions for the time being, and in turn will focus on practicing them on my own time. Now because of this decision I know that some will feel like they missed an opportunity, but it is choice that I feel will be for the better.

3. Lastly, due to my Current work schedule, I do not see myself getting through all the animations in a timely manner. For the past few months I have been accepting offers left and right with the idea that I would be able to get them done within the week or so. But time has passed far too long at this point and I am half way through the year and I just about got to the first animation on the list, just one or two more pieces to do at this point. And given how long it took me to do the last animation, the wait will be unbearably longer. So with that, I had to come to terms and cut some ideas. They will be on the current list after this post. This is no means of saying I don’t appreciate the idea or your patience, they were really good, but I honestly will take way too long to get them done and I feel it would be better to no longer have you wait indefinitely.


That is pretty much it for the updates. I all honesty, I have been pretty stressed when it came to these comms due to how long it was taking me to get to them. Before, I had a whole day to make these possible; albeit, they were still a bit slow, but I was at least able to get them done by the week. But the job kinda changed that.


Also, about the animation requests, for those who were cut, I personally don’t want to leave you empty handed. You had to put up with my slowness and were very patient, though silent, I really do appreciate it. So in turn, I would like to still make you something for that, it may not be the animation you wanted, but I still valued it highly. Just let me know if you want. If not, than just tell me.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

This is the planned route of work i will be doing. that way you can see where I am currently at.

Ongoing

- Comic

Project

- Faust Vore Comic

Comms In Progress

Bare in mind, I may work on two of them at a time, so I could get these done with time to spare

I know I am a bit late on this but I have been pretty busy since last week. I may tie into a few other things but I also might not. anyway.




Big News: So to start, I just got a job and has now found employment. Now this doesn't mean that i will stop doing art for folks, but it does mean that the amount i will take diminish quite a bit. As well as the process i go by as well. The way I will be doing it has not fully been planned out just yet, but it will take effect after i finish with the current comms I have on hand.

Queue Up: I usually enjoy the idea of allowing folks passing me their ideas for potential works, but because of recent events, I can not follow up with my usual. I still want to hear ideas if interested, but they may come out as a sketch/doodle with no guarantee.

Streams: Now for those of old (like last year) I have been streaming sometimes from morning to midnight at times. Well now that is changing. My stream times are now early morning on week days if I have time and weekends. though I will try to mostly stream on weekends as I can have the whole day to work on them. When I Have time (like when most of the comms are done maybe) I might do special stream, but we will see when the time comes.

Comm Status: For now they will be closed so that I can get the comms and stuff out of the way. I don't want to keep them closed but I need to be cautious as to not take on more than I can do. Which might have been the case this time.




This is should be enough for the update this month, may be more later this month, who knows. There are a few more things that comes to mind but not yet fully thought out just yet.

Sorry for the lack of updates during January through February. Alot of things happened during those times, both good and bad. Right now things a better though still recovering. For now though, let me get to the meat of this journal.

Starters, the comms are open again for those who are interested. I will have spots opening again in the Cooldown status. This status does mean it's open for grabs, but depending on what it is (comic or still images) will determinec the placement and time it takes to get to it.

Not sure if I stated it, but animations, at least long ones, will not be up for public purchase. Now I'm only stating this because I honestly need to plan for these ahead of time instead of on a spur of the moment. I have already been given a few ideas and interests for few so those will come to light when I get the chance.

Streams will be back again. That is about it. They will just be back... like in March, so look forward to that if you enjoy those.

Themed months are coming back in march as well though the theme itself is unkown for the most part. So for this, I want to see what you guys may have on mind. It can be holiday related or other. I will state though that requests are still off the table. I do not have the time for those at the moment sadly. But do feel free to propose ideas.

Those are mostly the updates I have at the moment thus far. If anything occur later that needs announcing, I'll fill ya in with another update.

This is coming a bit late, but here is the update for the year until further notice. Which may be in like in few months if the results of what I am trying are what I expect them to be. Any way, onto the update.

1. The themes will be making a return starting next month, as for what they will imply? Well for that I have not chosen quite yet. but I am willing to take 3 ideas for starters. from there I will see where they can go depending on interest and creativity i can derive from them. So if you got any, just shout them out.

2. Some of you may know this already but I am also certain others do not, But I will be expanding lore of 1 of the main cast members due to a traditional popularity contest held on twitter last year. surprisingly it came down to two characters, they were pretty close and needed the old coin flip for the tie breaker. Now at this moment I have not quite started on it yet as I am trying to figure out where to take his fate. I have some ideas already in mind but I don't feel too confident with some of them. Writer's block before I can even get going, rough. But it is a minor obstacle for sure. I will bring more info about the story as more ideas come forth.

3. As you may have noticed, the prices have changed....yet again. But this is more of an experiment rather than the new default. The biggest thing being the addition of patreon. Now I don't plan to put anything behind a pay wall or give luxurious specialties (as if I could even do that). So to make it fair for all as I still want to maintain the affordability motif, I will be using my patreon purely for discounts and only that. If I am proven wrong and people really like this, I'll keep it around and build from it, but eh. I have been proven wrong many times before. = )

4. Animations are taking a bit of a break. The animations do take some time to do while the long ones are much more task inducing. Because of that, they will need to be locked down with my full attention with nothing else to impede it (so like 1 comm and animation is the limit) for the month. Aside from that. I will say that long animation types will be closed to the public barring a set few due to obligations and reasons. They will be back, but just on an off period for the time being. If you have an idea though, don't be afraid to hit me up about it. I'm more than willing to queue you up for it when they are open again. By the way, I am still working on some animations in the pipeline as is, so there will be some in the near future. =3

5. Lastly, and this is just things I kinda failed to mention, so there may not be any consistency here. I went ahead and added Colored Sketches to the commission sheet. This will stay as I know some people would go for this rather than the Flat Color. Just more options to be had. Plus, it is faster to do. so ye. Concerning prices, if you don't want to bother with the whole patreon ordeal and would rather get it the commission raw, you very well can. This is in no way a tactic to force. Again, I am willing to try this out and not afraid if it fails. I have something else I can do in its place if it does. Might even adapt it given time. Currently right now, there are some names on the list that has the "*", This is just a reminder for me keeping note of those who got the comms before the new prices. so if you got them before or during the UNDER CONSTRUCTION period, then you will only have to pay the old prices. But given most of the others are comics but one, that only applies to one.... so yeah.

And I think that is about it of the updates. I will be back later this month with more new while things develop. Until then, Thank you for taking the time to read up and know what is going on.

The holidays are over, and with it the commissions and themes will be making a return again. Yay, or maybe good news for those interested perhaps. Hard to get a read on that. Anyway that is not important. I Am stating in this journal that Commissions are open... sorta. If you noticed that on my profile that the status has changed, then it should come off as a sign that things will be changing again. Though this change may will more than likely just be test of sorts, but more on that when finish up with it and present it to the masses.

For now, like I said, Comms are opening back up again. 2 out of 6 slot are available given that 4 were put on the queue during the holidays. so if you are interest, DM me and we can talk ideas.

Till next time.

Ok ok, now I know I forgot to do an update for this month (especially now that we are half way in) but let me give a brief rundown. Like real brief.

First off, thanks to all those who liked and enjoyed my latest animation, I am happy to see that it was appreciated. Really. Second, as you may have noticed, this month's theme is hollween based. Not so much wholesome but more the unnerving or just harsher side of the spooks. If I can hit it. Lastly, I am doing a bit of a personal comic for the secret winner of last month's theme that may or may not come out by Halloween or the end of October. Who was the winner you may ask, well just wait and see. It will be revealed on completion.😏

---

Now with that out of the way, time for the update.

Coming this November and December (and maybe January, don't hold me to that) I will be closing my commissions for those months as I tend to be swamped a majority of the time.

This will be a bit of a heads up as well, but I will be changing the comic commissions and animations some time in the future. Nothing to the prices, just how I work on them. But that is still being thought out. So when i get to it I'll let you know.

Finally, during those months of closed commissions, I will still do streams in the form of a "Sketch Stream" or how ever they are called. I'll have info on it before I start those, but it is mostly so i don't lose practice as well as hoping to get some improvement during those months.

Other than that, this is the update for the month. I do hope you understand. If you want to conversate on the matter you know where to place them. Thank you for taking the time to hear me out.

This is not a huge change as it only pertains to the comic side of things, but it should be a bit more manageable for me as well as help with composing pages/panels properly. I also added in info for additional characters (not quite sure about BGs yet but that is subject to change at some point, maybe) as I was still testing the waters with the comic concept.

Went ahead and updated the image and the commission info, so go ahead and take a look at that if need be. Commission Info Link // Commission Sheet Link


Now for those who already have a comic with me, I want to say that the price you have will not change from what was originally agreed upon. And to make sure of that, I put "V.1" next to your commission info on the LIST. That way if anyone new wanted a comic, I would be able to tell them apart if they happen to to still be there. Of course the "V.1" is temporary so don't expect to see a lot of them.

So update on the comm system. Minor for the most part cause i might have taken a bit much on my re-entry back, so i am able to do multi comms but I'll only allow it if you want to use more than one of the drafts on the spot. Otherwise it will be its own separate comm. I still got some stuff on the list but some of them were a mix of things which might have been a bit much. Not saying I don't appreciate the support or to deny anyone, but more along the lines of not adding too much work in a single setting. Besides that, I'm still open and queues are readily welcome as they have no real limit, just commitment if you can afford it. Just going to be handling the order a bit differently.

Thank you for taking the time to read this if you did. Will continue to do my best =D

With July done and most of the comms out of the way, I believe it is time to open back up again. The break was nice and relaxing and was able to do some fun stuff along the way. There is still some stuff i need to do but for the most part, they are pretty minor.

Aside from the obvious art dump, I went ahead and added on to the commission info to include things that I have done in the past in case some were interested in that. That is pretty much it for the a round up, not really much to say. Now to what is important I would assume.



{TL;DR - The "List" is having some changes, you can see them on the list right now. Giving myself an easy day on Wednesday to enjoy myself}

---

So let me be frank, commissions will be handled a lil differently to accommodate a couple of things that I have noticed so far, but the LIST covers it I hope. Commissions are back to 6 slots and they will be handled like normal, but the method about it is changing. Before, I had it to where I would do one after another and so long as another comm was requested if there was a slot open, I would keep the rhythm going with no stop in between. This led to some potential burn outs but not enough to stop me completely. This time, when all 6 slots are filled, I will not take any more comms until those 6 are done and once they are done I will take a day off to cool down. during that time I may do personals or do some fanart, etc. After the break I will work on the comms again. During that break time I can queue up commission requests so that when I get back you will be up and ready.

Animations are new to the list of things and so far it doesn't look too bad for my first animation comm. Animation is pretty tedious but it has always been something I wanted to do, but unlike one of my friends, I'm not really there yet in terms of consistency so my work may look off at random times. I will be doing these along side the image based comms to, as the saying goes "kill two birds with one stone." I will only be taking 2 animation comms at a time and they will be done in the order they were requested. Just like above I will take a break, but instead of doing it after the set are done, I will instead take a break from animation for a day or two(depending on how i feel mentally) to avoid burning out.

Last but not least, I just want to make this for my self because I tend to do work day in and day out for the past two months, But starting the first of August, Wednesdays are going to my free days. Not saying it is going to be a break day as I will still do comms on that day, but rather I will work on them for a set amount of time then set it aside to to relax some. This shouldn't shake things up too much, but there has been times when i just wanted to stop mid comm, so this should help. Weekends are a bit iffy. I'll keep them 50/50 as there will be times i can work on comms and the times i can not.

---

And that's about it. Have also been streaming a lot as of late and so far it has been pretty fun. met some new folks and got to a bit more comfortable with talking to people casually. So if you ever want to hop in I'll drop the notifier at least 2-3 times a week(once i get a new banner made first). Other than that, Thank you for sticking by and enjoying the work I have put out. I am really touched to see how everyone is viewing them and interacting with it so far. I hope that I can do more with these or even do a collab with others here and there, but that is for another time. Until then, be safe and look out for one another.
