things are thinging, happens are happening
Posted 7 months agohi all
you all probably noticed i haven't been much active here for several months. there are several reasons as to why. first one, furaffinity has been blocked in my country since summer, which made it very slow and uncomfortable to use. the second reason is my life, as well as life goals, have been changing rapidly in those past months, and now i am working on the possibility of leaving the country. all my time and energy is focused on getting my visa approved (which is posing a great challenge)
from other news, probably following the example of recent US tyrannical laws, my country began actively gathering information about queer people. i feel less safe by the day, which only further fueling my desperation to leave.
and another thing, when i will return to furaffinity (hopefully closer to autumn), i won't be making NSFW content anymore (only private artworks for me and my partner). I feel like my art should envoke real emotions, rather than just being a part of porn industry. don't know if i ever will take commissions again, but if i will, they will be SFW only.
but overall, i've been good. better than ever, really. my mental health is improving, although i still struggle a lot with my anxiety disorder.
i will return [some day] !! love you all!!

info
Posted a year agohey all, this information is primarily for people awaiting commissions
recently, i am really emotionally overwhelmed and unstable, presumably because of HRT. I can't focus on work at all right now, and every single little thing makes me burned out.
that said, I will finish them, of course, but probably a bit later than i'd wanted. sorry. i'm trying to get it under control, but this stuff have been really hard on me. it is a lot more difficult than i expected.

Photography account?
Posted a year agoPhotography is one of the biggest hobbies of mine, that I wasn't able to really do in the last 2 years because of my job. And it's almost spring, which means better weather and conditions.
I was wondering if some of you would be interested in me starting a second account for it, and if photography is even generally welcomed on this site? Since I don't see a lot of photos being posted here.

Update
Posted a year agoJob quitted. Now I need a bit to rest and gather my thoughts and then I will begin making YCHs and commissions.
I'm losing my job - important updates on things
Posted a year agoI was considering writing "I'm being forced to quit my job" but that would imply that it wasn't my own initiative. However, It feels like I am being forced out by the toxic work conditions. A little background here - I was working as an electrical engineer full time for two whole years already. And even though the work I do isn't bad on itself, (helps reduce electronic waste and much better than my previous one) the environment is just horrible. My coworkers are homophobic, transphobic, racist and n*zi, above other things. And even though I am not open about my gender identity or my sexual orientation, I feel deeply disgusted and wronged, having to listen and endure this on day to day basis. So, recently I realized my mental health was deteriorating again, I was feeling exhausted and burned out, and I couldn't put my finger on why, but I realized now that this is because of this job.
If this weren't enough, I was threatened lawsuits by inadequate clients, two times. And I'd prefer this number to be zero.
So, I am making a choice to quit in favor of my mental health (god knows I'll need it later) and also personal safety. Which is very risky.
That means I'll be officially jobless, and even though I have some time before my stash runs out, I will open commissions and YCHs very soon. I will try my best to make some living off of it, and honestly I'm scared, but I'm still going to try.
If you want to donate me a little sum, just because, here: https://boosty.to/riverfx/donate
Any help will be appreciated IMMENSELY.
I think this is it for now. Thank you again for keep following my art, even though there isn't much of you right now, it still gives me hope and makes me feel like I'm not a total failure as an artist. I love you <3

Current situation and plan of action
Posted 2 years agoA lot of you probably doesn't care, but here's what's been happening. Basically, this post is a heads up.
For folk who doesn't live in Russia - there was passed a recent bill that ultimately equals all and every LGBTQ+ peoples and organizations to extremism. That's basically means that I might very well get in jail if seen outside with a rainbow pin on my shirt. And that's the least of my concerns.
I can't get help I need. Being trans in Russia means that I am just simply forbidden to exist. There's no organization that can help me get the treatment I need. That's why I'm planning to move in the future, and hopefully sooner than later.
From the new year and going forward, I am going to update commission prices and will resume drawing YCHs. Every last penny will go towards my ability to get out of here.
Thank you everyone who decided to follow my art, I cannot describe how honored I am. Thank you, thank you, thank you <3
