Hi, going to make this real quick. Money's tight and I really want to be able to buy presents for my family this Christmas, so I'm opening four commission slots with all slots having a 5$ off discount.

My sheet's here: ( https://www.furaffinity.net/view/59905851/ ) just subtract 5 from each of those base prices.

1. CLOSED
2. CLOSED
3. OPEN
4. OPEN

Send me a note if interested.

Hey everyone. I want to deeply apologize for my long absence ever since February. Truth is, I have been drawing as well as working with Blender, and had been meaning to upload a variety of pieces to my gallery since then. I've had commissions I had completed and wanted to post among other things all sitting on a PostyBirb backburner, but had never got around to posting them or having the drive to even do so. Lately I feel like I've been struggling a lot emotionally, feeling directionless and with no ideas for anything to create, or a drive to create whatever ideas I can scrounge up. It's gotten to a point where I feel like I don't know what I want to do, and I've ultimately been thinking that maybe it's high time I hit the road and retire.

Whether this means from FurAffinity or the furry fandom as a whole is unknown to me. A lot of art I have managed to do I've mostly just kept to Discord servers and Discord DMs, and that's fine, but even that's beginning to lose its luster. As well, I feel like I'm finding less and less joy in interacting with others online and feel I'd much rather be outside. Being online has just been emotionally exhausting, and almost feels like an addiction to something harmful that I can't break. Whether it's BlueSky or Discord, I just want to break off from it, or at least prune out the parts that I feel are actively hurting me, but that's the other problem because some of said parts are also spaces I do enjoy being in, to the point where it's hard to let go.

I don't know, I'm still thinking on things. Ultimately I feel like I just need an outlet to let these feelings out.

EDIT: I'm not retiring. Just needed to let my thoughts out.

It's been a while, hasn't it. I feel like I should come clean about my long absence. Turns out this year really hasn't been good at all for me and for others, but little by little I've been pulling through as best as I could. I've wrestled a lot with trying to amend friendships I've hurt, dealing with my own depression, struggling to find work and keep my finances afloat, among other things, and especially with this year's election results I feel like I need to truly start preparing for the worst...but let's keep that the only political thing I post here. I've mostly been operating in the background on Discord servers between friends, and through all of that I've kind of had a moment of clarity on which of them I can truly call friends, and not just people who share one or two singular interests with me, but people who were truly there for me during the worst of times. I've pretty much accepted the truth that I'm not the extrovert I used to be, and really only prefer to stick with a select few people, so I guess sorry in advance if my attitude towards some of you changes.

Now for something a little more positive: There's also going to be a few changes to this account and it's content. For starters, I've actually hand-picked a select few characters that I may be drawing more regularly, old and new. I'll likely group submissions based on them, as well as draw them with established reference sheets. Best I can say about that is consider them my "main cast" of sorts.

Among the positives, I have also recently learned to use Blender, meaning that for the most part, I'm retiring SFM, mostly for good. I can't promise animations, but I can promise even better looking renders, a wider variety of models, and an even wider variety of things I can do with them. There's just so many more benefits to using Blender that I can't list them all, but that will be something to look forward to, for sure.

And finally, I am working on putting together a detailed commissions list, consisting of prices and other necessary details. I really do need money at this time, so it's important I get that squared away.

Apologies in advance for the incoming flood of pictures, let's just hope I can keep this momentum going, especially with the new year on the horizon.

Stay strong, everyone.

Sorry for the slow end to 2023, and the lack of a start to the new year. My depression peaked as the previous year came to a close, having to experience the loss of a long-time family friend, leading into myself hurting someone close to me, and it's just been difficult. I'm still drawing, just nothing worth submitting, but I do want to say something; I'm no longer restricting Ramune from being NSFW, as some upcoming submissions will show.

Doing this feels liberating. I hope to pick back up more on art this year, though only time will tell how 2024 is going to go.

It's not like I haven't been drawing. I just haven't been submitting anything.

I do warn you all, if I do, it might be very focused on The August Few by Sam Fennah. Let's just say something happened that made Sam's work really special to me.

Hey, I know I said I'd start posting things about a month ago, but a lot of personal stuff came up in my life that left me unmotivated and depressed as hell.

So the submissions are coming, just in a slow trickle.

And here we are!

Might be a bit before I start posting new things; I think my first few submissions will be a few backlogged stuff, but hopefully I can get into a groove of posting here again. This is just kind of a quick test journal.

Ciao!
