Hi all!
I do believe that sometimes fighting fire with fire is a neccessity and we all know life is a bitch, so... I make really bad puns x'D but yeah, we adopted a female doggo to help us face the bitchiness of life x') She's a yearling with overload of energy and she's the best wieghtloss activity I've ever tried xD Walks with her are real fun and unlike out old doggos, who were well... old... she can walk kilometers without getting tired, which is also super fun because we can go and discover new places with her everyday, not just stay in the same, small radius around the house with just occassional trips and carrying the doggo back home when we overdo it. Also, she's a perfect fit to our family dynamics (somebody's not an early bird :v) and she's awesome with cats and our cats had no problems accepting her either! And because she's very young, she's also very engaging, which works wonders on all our sadness, because we basically have no time for that xD

Yet again I had to disappear. Things went bad with our little doggo and the veterinary neurologist to whom we took her to the capital said, there are two things we can do. One was going through an immediate surgery with limited chances of success and a lenghty treatment and rehab later, which had even lesser chances of ever helping her, and through which period she would still be immobilized and in excrutiating pain in the windows of time when the painkillers would be stopping to work, but it would be dangerous to give her another dose just yet not to overdose. And in the end of a several-month long nightmare, with a significant probability, there wouldn't be any improvement. Or we could get over our pain and stop her's. I told you, I'm going to fight till the end, if there's a reasonable chance, but the percentage wasn't anywhere near good. So we decided it's more humanitary thing to stop her suffering and let her rest, finally, after already a long time, when she was still being diagnosed and it was visible what toll her disability and pain had on her. After that... I simply needed a couple of days to come to terms with my new, dogless reality. I've always had a dog ever since I was 12. This little pooch, our little darling, was with us 11 years, ever since the day my gf found her malnourished and bald from flea allergy, looking more like a little monster, than a beautiful dog she turned into within the next couple of months. No wonder she was more of my gf's dog, my gf was the one who saved her and she's always been THE human for her, but that doesn't change the fact she was one of the most cheerful sparks of joy in MY life too. I can't promise I will be able to respond to any contact today still, but I'll try to slowly start getting back in the grind, just not to go mad.

Also, I'm closing commissions for now. Thanks to your fast and vast response, I was able to pay for the initial surgery and then the hospitalisation, diagnostics and specialist consultations. I will concentrate now on finishing them, going back to issuing YCHs instead, to make my living, and slow down with pace I get new pictures to draw to rest after this madness a little and to have more time to finish all the pending work finally. I dearly hope I will not have to open my commissions until then, because that would mean, something bad happens again u.u I hope to open them when I'm done with all the ones I have for now, as a joyful event bringing variety and not an emergency measure.

I know you guys and I know you're the most supportive community I have ever met in my life <3 And that each time I say farewell to any of my pets, you're there with your supportive and soothing comments. I want you to know it means a lot to me <3 but I don't think I will be able to answer to any just yet. I'm sorry, but please know it doesn't mean I don't see them and they don't affect me. It's just very difficult to think of answers, because I'm always getting very emotional. Nonetheless, please accept my big thanks for your kind words! In the past and the ones I know you will say now, because you're the fucking best community on the Internet and I'd never want to lose you u.u <3

Hi everyone,
I'm re-opening my commissions. If you're interested, please, send me a note with the commission details!

I wasn't planning on doing it that fast, but life is a b*tch and I need cash again u.u

As for the previous commissions, I'd say they're going along nicely. I'm working on them day and night whenever I am not traveling to vets or tending to our dog, and there was significantly more of it in the past days.

As much as it seems the cancer has been removed entirely, she got post-surgical complications, some neurological ones, probably, coming from the spine. It looks like her brain just lost connection with the hind part of her body, her hind paws unable to move and most worringly, her bladder unable to empty. My gf had to make an emergency travel with her to the capital, as our vet here said there's no one in our town really qualified enough to help her and if she's to stay here, she basically has no chances of survival, the only humane option being putting her down. And I am all for putting down animals that can't be helped and their lifes are turned into suffering, just to let them die a good death, instead of going through the agony, but if there's a reasonable chance, no way we're not gonna try! Well, in the clinic in capital they said she probably can be brought back to full health (makes you ponder on chances for animals in underdeveloped regions, whose owners don't get the idea to travel, or can't afford it, no?). But bringing her back to health requires a couple of diagnostics and medical procedures and they in turn require hospitalisation.
That's why this time there's no commission slot limit, there's just a financial limit, which would be a sum covering the expenses of her treatment and post-hospital care, along with the trip back home.

The good thing is, when she's in the hospital, I have all the time basically free. I finally fully rested this night, I have lots of food at home so no need to leave, I'm only with cats, so no walkies needed, so I'm able to spend whole my days just drawing like mad, like a proper painting goblin sim xD
I hope I will be able to deliver all the pending artworks soon, like within 1 - 2 weeks at most, maybe sooner and I will be sending sketches to the new commissioners immediately.

I'm sorry I went silent for a couple of days, I had to have an emergency trip to the other city, to help my gf who fell ill to take care of our doggo, who, after the surgery, wasn't in a shape allowing her to travel home. It's 24/7 care she (the dog) requires now, but she's stable and getting more and more lively and cheerful <3 We're back home now, but I had to go there asap, as my gf got a serious fever and needed help herself. I literally dropped everything I was doing, grabbed just a couple of things I needed the most and run off to the train station. Sadly in all the stress and hurry I forgot to take my phone charger :X so by the time I reached her, my phone was dead and I didn't really have a way to contact anyone here. Thankfully she's better, it's not covid and our doggo is doing really good as well, as for a 15 year old dog who's just been through a double surgery. I'm back and I'll be taking care of all the pending things now. Sorry for the delay!

I'm popping up just for a very short moment, just to say, that the surgery took place today, it was successful and she just woke up from aenesthesia! Big thanks to all of you for your support and huge thanks to those, who grabbed a commish, because it was possible thanks to you <3 I'm so fucking happy and so thankful and OMG OMGOMGOMGOMG!!!!!!! \o/ I gotta run, cya tomorrow :* <3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3

Hi guys!

TL;DR:
I'm opening 3 commission slots, if you're interested, send me a note. You're doing a good deed, as the money will go to saving cute little doggo's life <3

What's on:
I'm getting closer to finishing another batch of pending commissions and I'm one YCH ahead, so I feel like I can accept some new commissions, especially that I DRAMATICALLY need a cash boost now to save my little doggo's life.

She's been diagnosed with several tumors and she's gonna undergo a surgery and then oncological treatment. All while I lost all my other sources of income and I'm on bare commissions this month orz But I'll make it, I'll f*cking save her! We've lost our big doggo to untreatable, traumatising dementia in the beginning of the year. When we adopted him he was already 9 and stayed with us 3 years and 3 months. He was an elderly dog with past of series of drastic abuse and this winter he started clearly re-living the horrors during his episodes. He wasn't recognising us, fearing we're gonna hurt him, so there was no way of even comforting him :( We agreed with the vets that it's better for him to go, than to suffer this. It was extremely painful, but we had our little doggo still, to cheer up and to cheer us up. She's with us for the whole 11 years of our relationship, as we've found her malnourished and basically furless by the side of a road just a couple of months after we got together. She's our dearest baby and I just don't know what would happen with us, if we lost her so early. Sadly in my city there was no specialist who knew much about how to cut a tumor out of such a small dog and they just kept ignoring the other two tumors that were there as well. It was no good, so we took her to a good clinic in the capital, where she immediately got proper diagnostics and a full rescue plan with surgery of two more tumors and treatment for all the possible ones, too small to be found yet, so that she doesn't need another surgery in a moment. They saved two our cats with extremely difficult issues before so I believe they will be able to save her too, but yeah... quality costs and as much as I would gladly toss all the money of this world to them, I need to get it first x'D

As for now I'm opening 3 slots. I should be able to finish it as I go, by the end of the month hopefully (unless something happens and I will be needed in Warsaw - as for now it's just my girlfriend who's there with our doggo and I'm home working like mad to be able to pay for the vet services). If you're interested in getting a commission, please send me a note.

Hi everyone~! As you might have noticed, I was away for some time. It was due to worsening of my health, but I'm back, as you can see. I'll upload the TF YCH within a day, max 2 if no interferences happen and I'm hoping to upload some late commissions this week as well.

THE BIG REVAMP:
I'm also going to change... everything:
- My ToS (the new, updated version is already available on my userpage)
- Price chart (no nice changes there, but eating from time to time seems like a nice option)
- Commission types (less, one or two types only)
- Commissioning process (simpler! simpler! simpleeeerrrrrr!!!11!1!!11!)

My goal is to simplify everything as much as possible. Less reading, everything compiled to one or two documents (most probably ToS and Price Chart), simple procedures, less hassle - more art and hopefully faster.
Usually people are upset about me rising prices and want to know why, so here is why:

QUALITY: I want to finally be able to concentrate more on the quality of my arts rather than quantity. As much as I've always tried to deliver top notch arts, due to the demand some cheaper and faster options appeared on the menu, which forced me to compromise the quality to catch up with said demand. No more! I wanna be a good restaurant, not a fast food.

SPEED: If I can survive for a longer period of time for money from a commission, I won't have to take so many, so my time will be divided between less arts, so naturally their completion should be faster.

SURVIVAL: I am ill and can't work as much as a healthy person, but I'm the only one who can upkeep my family atm, I have debts to pay and it would be nice to get some additional funds to do sth with my illnesses before they cripple me. So since there are people seeing my art worthy of higher prices, I feel justified to do it.

FUN: Because doing higher quality arts with more details (that take more time and effort) is actually more fun for me, than producing tons of more sketchy artworks. And I need to feed my cats. They'd be mad if I didn't. You understand, one can't oppose their overlords ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

On a lighter note, I'm thinking about a new equine, TF-oriented fursona (because this particular personality who's writting to you, hello o/, doesn't have one and is jealous) so my avatar and userpage graphic design is going to change too. All I can say for now is they're not a horse. Curious if anyone would get an idea, what mythical creature I choose C:

Hi, I just want to make a statement about the recent art theft issue that arised here, on FA. It involved one of my OCs. I just want to tell everyone I had nothing to do with it, I had no idea said art was being made. I learned about the whole thing from the original sketch's owner, who was so kind to tell me about what's going on. The piece is gone from the internet and the whole issues is ressolved now, but I don't want anyone to think I had anything to do with the theft.

Also, please don't use my characters, especially in NSFW arts without my knowledge and consent. I really appreciate all the gifts. They're are usually really nice, but having control over the depictions of the characters that are so dear to me is even nicer. Thank you for your understanding <3

Hi everyone~
I'm closing the comissions for now. I'm going to catch up with all the pending work and I need to take some time to reorganize my working schedule to make it more efficient. As for now I will release a series of YCHs in the upcoming weeks. Perhaps I will reopen for sketch commissions this month, but I can't tell for sure.

Best wishes to you all <3

Hello all my dearies~! <3
I have a question. Are my arts oversaturated? I had a chance to see them on a different screen than my own and omg, they had such a crazily vibrant colors and I think a lot of the mood of some of them was lost due to oversaturation. I like vibrant colours, but that was just too much. Now the question is... is it my monitor losing some saturation with age and my arts would rather fit some rave rather than art gallery xD or was it the other display with saturation turned up to a screaming maximum? How do you feel? How do they look like on your displays?

Hi guys!
I wanted to say some things...
First off, to all my new watchers, who didn't notice the pattern yet... I tend to disappear for prolonged periods of time. It simply means that I'm feeling worse, please bear with me, it's how it's been since ever with me and with the diagnosis I have I know it's not going to change ever. I have several health issues that make my life hell.
First are migraines that can last up to a week. Nothing can stop the pain but some serious painkillers that have me simply stoned in the meantime and I'm not able to do anything reasonable anyway. And even those painkillers aren't always enough, so I basically am unable to crawl out of bed for weeks at a time sometimes.
This, as you can imagine, with extreme lack of activity leads to muscle weakening and it's a killer combine with my croocked spine and the osteophite, which is basically a patological bone growth that grows into my spinal cord. The doctor said it's not really possible to do much about it surgically, so I REALLY try not to strain my back, not to make it worse than it is, so that it doesn't just tear my spinal cord in half and in the place it is in, being paralysed chest down is the least of my concerns in such a case. Besides straining it hurts :/
Third of my issues is severe depression I've been battling since I was a teenager. You can imagine, that inability to leave your bed is a great feed for mental issues.
And fourth, one I never really felt like talking about due to it's orginin's nature is my DID. Yup. There's not one Rufciu, but 5 actually. The problem is, not every personality of mine is capable of running this account, or even drawing. And that's also a big reason why I disappear. It's because I disappear. There's someone else living my life, my body. Only after I resurface (or any of the other personalities, that can draw) I am able to continue the work. That's why there's this point in my ToS about very long time completion and my inability to draw for as long as months. That's also why I don't keep any friendships really. I know my friends, but my other personalities just don't. And I don't know their friends, but come on... who would want to really keep contact with somebody who disappears for months every now and then. And it's like a really long time. Like, one of my personalities was last seen in autumn 2019. It's over a year, since they disappeared and never appeared again. I bet all of their friends think they just are mad at them or something, but I can't really even tell them that, because I just don't know the people, or places on the net where they meet them. Also, it's not really the most comfortable topic for discussion, let alone a friendship starter: "Hi, I've been abused and molested as a kid to the point my personality malformed and there's in fact a whole bunch of me. I don't know how about others and if they won't hate you, but I like you, so wanna be friends? :)" Just... no ಠ_ಠ So yeah... I never really talk about it, but I feel like the pressure here escalates and I just want you to understand what's going on. Also, please, don't pity me, I don't want pity. I'm coping just fine and I live my life as it is, having a lot of happy moments. I'm saying that just for the informative purposes.

This all said, let's move on to the more important issues...
I've been feeling a bit better lately, it correlated with my most competent and sociable personality being on, so naturally I've been more active, tried streaming and stuff. Here's the conclusion: I'm still unable to stream. It's just very inefficient way of working for me. Anyone who's ever been at my stream knows that the first half an hour or even an hour is just spent on talking, setting up commissions and organisation. It's time I need to be by my PC, sitting up, which is a very limited privilage for me :/ I could spend this precious time drawing and discuss the details on my mobile via Discord, mail or notes here, while in bed, or wherever, supported by a pile of pillows. This is the optimal solution for me, to be able to finally finish all the pending commissions and be able to accept new ones. So sorry guys, no more streams. I will have to finish all the sketch commissions you were hoping for off stream and I can accept a few more atm, but no streaming of them.
Perhaps I could stream the creation process of some of my works if I feel good enough, but I wouldn't be able to indulge in much chatter. Please let me know if such a solution would satisfy you in any measure.

And lastly a lot of love for all of those, who stand by me, despite my issues <3 You all are very precious to me and you have my gratitude for that!

Hi everyone! :D
I wanted to say, my commissions are open, so if anyone wishes to get their art done by me, here's the link: COMMISSION FORM
Just please, read my ToS before, and you might want to read the general Commission Info (price chart is there too).

Also, as for my dissappearence and return lately... I have gotten a ton of questions about how am I and what's happening with me from many concerned friends and watchers. I'm really super grateful for your care <3 and I answered them all (or at least tried, if I missed some messages, then I'm terribly sorry, just poke me again and I will). I don't really wish to hide it, but I also don't want to talk about my reasons publicly. Then again there were some people demanding me to um... explain myself o.O' I'm a private person, not an organization, nor a company. I have my private life and I have the right to do with it what I want without confessing it to everyone. I'm an ordinary human being like everyone else and some topics are just difficult for me. Demanding me to talk about it because... I don't know why? Because I wasn't uploading anything? Is just rude. And those questions weren't even from my current comissioners (those are really awesome and patient guys, thank you so very much for that, every single one of you <3 <3 <3), so really no obligations were involved. I usually try to overlook all of the negativity I'm ever getting here (which luckily isn't much and I generally love the spirit of this community <3) but this is just... wow.

Hi everyone~
As you know I have some really annoying and quite severe health issues lately (spine + migraines) and as you might have noticed, it's impossible to predict when I will be able to be online and when I will be in too much pain to get out of the bed. Thus, until the time it hopefully finally gets better, I'm closing stream commissions (I will try to use the first moment I will feel good enough to stream again to finish the ones pending, or I can finish them offstream, if the commissioners are okay with it < preffered and faster way).
In the same time I'm opening regular commissions, because I will be able to work on them in my own pace at any hours that my health allows me, and those tend to be the most bizzare lately :/ Also this way it won't happen again that we set up a date for the stream and I'm not able to show up because of the pain, which I honestly hate doing and I'm very sorry to all of you whom it happened to lately.
Thank you and have a safe spring!

Hi all~!
As most of you probably already know I'm suffering from migraines a lot (like today u.u). I have always seen colleration between barometric pressure rise and the killer headaches. I was looking for some scientific data on how does the pressure rises look around the world and after some years I've found a good article. I'm sharing it for all of you that suffer from migrains themselves, or whose friends and close ones do. If my share helps at least one person understand it better, than I'm happy. And I'm moving south ASAP lol

https://www.securevideo.com/blog/20.....nthly-raw-data

Please, note that (aside from some crazy ones xd) there are comments that point out that there are apparently two types of barometric pressure induced migrains. Ones are about the pressure change value, others about it's velocity. So some people can be zombies when it slowly reaches from 1000 hPa to 1030 hPa (so 30 hPa difference, it's a big change I can tell you xD) and some can be perfectly fine then, but suffer greatly if some other day it rapidly goes from 995 hPa to 1000 hPa (so only 5 hPa difference).

Thus some places mapped may be misleading, as i.e. Florida which is all painted blue on the map, meaning it's a migraine-sufferer heaven, but many people say it's actually hell due to smaller, but very rapid changes, that the mapping systhem didn't include and for those people UK seems much better, despite being supposedly much harsher on the map. Still many people say that this map pinpointed their migraine pattern and is matching their expirience, so perhaps it could help some of you.

I'm curious how it works for you and if the article is of any help, or you deem it worthless based on your experience, so please, leave comments and share your vews and maybe we all will be able to make something out of it all and get rid of those headaches and live our lives to the fullest, without 1/3rd of our lifetime spent suffering or on strong meds ;_;

Also sorry for the grammar, I've been fixing it for like half an hour already but I give up. I have too much of a headache to be able to concentrate u.u

Hello again~
Sorry for disappearing once more, but my health become quite unpredictible this winter x_x First my spine problems resurfaced and now a streak of killer migrains joined in rendering me unable to get out of my bed for quite a big portion of this time. Top that with useless healthcare (I even ended up in hospital, but they let me go without solving anything or even helping me to at least ease the pain AT ALL) and you have a hiatus ready. And I HATE IT! I'm so fucking tired and fed up with all of that! I want to be able to live normally again, to work, to draw, to ride horses, train zumba... to be fucking able to walk my dogs or cook a dinner! Like really... I'd never think that doing house chores could ever become something I'd wish so badly to be able to perform. Such a situation wasn't favourable for my mental health as well and I got depression again. Now I'm going back to my meds and maybe at least this shit will leave me alone and let me live my life to the extend my other issues let me.
But!
The sole fact that I'm writing that and that I was able to make a short stream last week are signs that I'm getting better. Haven't had a headache for long enough not to have my mind constantly clouded from repercusions of constant pain and my spine seems better too! I still need breaks to lie down for half an hour or so every now and then, but I CAN sit and draw, I CAN walk the dogs, I CAN cook the goddamn dinner, so hell, it's good! >D

After all I wonder if this health breakdown wasn't caused by me straining my back a bit too much and the headaches followed? Idk. I'll still try to get to SOME doctor somewhere and maybe someone out there will be able to diagnose me (or will at least try instead of treating me like a crazy hypochondriac who comes crying because of some minor headache ~.~).

Hi there~ You might have noticed I wasn't active lately. It's been due to two health problems that got me down simultaineously XC
First was a week-and-a half long headache, which left me dizzy for the following two days and second, much more serious, an osteophyte in my spine, that's been growing into my spinal cord for the past 10 years. For the past years I knew about it, but it wasn't bothering me much, giving me just some occassional pains. The doctors said it's too small to require an operation, but... it was 10 years ago. I don't know what happened, but I had to lie in one position that made it hurt less (and it still hurt af) for two days unable to walk anywhere further than to the toilet, unable to do basically anything because of the pain. I couldn't concentrate on anything, especially that I still had the headache so I mostly slept through that time. Only on second day's evening it started to slowly get better and the pain went away eventually on third. I will need to use the time when I'm able to move to get to some doctor so that they can see it and do something before it strikes again. All the more worrying, since it's quite high in my spine (th5) so I'm really worried that if something goes wrong I end up paralysed from my chest down x_x Maybe that's too early for that, but it bothers me still :/
Anyhow I'm better and I will carry on with work for as long as I can.

Hi everybody!
So I decided to take up horse riding again \o/ The only problem is, in the new town it's done tottally differently than anywhere else in the country I rode o.O Still the instructor says theirs is the correct way and I wonder what you guys think, bearing your experience from around the world.

Just to make things clear: we're talking about english riding. There are apparently no western style barns around here TT_TT and I'd love to try western riding out.

Okay, so the question is about turning, let's say right.

I always rode like I pull on the right rein and squeeze my right calf gently to the horse flank.

Here it's done by pulling on the right rein, pushing with the left rain on the horse's neck and squeezing leg to the left side of the horse.

I searched the Internet and it seems, like the latter is more like in western riding, while the first is the correct english riding, but I'd really love to know your opinions on this!

Hello again!
I'm here with an update on the situation. I managed to get a hold of my PTSD and I'm feeling much better and I'm able to function normally again! Whew, that was a fight, but I hope, that if I managed to overcome it once, it will be easier for me in the future, or perhaps I will even never need to fight it again!

I also got a stable, reliable internet connection and that means... Yes! I'm back to streaming! <3

Also, you may remember that last time I changed stream commission prices I rised them to maintain my financial situation after losing some additional sources of income. Well, that hasn't changed, but we moved to another city and life here is actually slightly cheaper. As I said, I'd hate to reap off, and I just really needed the money then. But since I can afford lower stream commission prices now, I'm lowering them to the level, I hope will be relevant to the cost of living here. Plus a bonus for all of TF-lovers! TF prices go down as well, which breaks the double price rule, giving tf artworks their own, independent (and lower) price! <3

Hello everyone!
I want to apologize for my disappearence. As you may know, this summer we've been moving to another city. The difficulties arose one after another causing us to move 3 times during that time, along with our 5 pets. It was hell of a work and that was just the beginning of problems. We got our perfect flat we're making a makeover of right now (it was built in 70's and nothing changed in here since then, so everything is just very old and worn and it needs a general makeover). We love the new place and we have wonderful neighbours, but living in a building mess with all the dust and debris around is a challenge itself (no worries, pets are kept in a clean zone, where they're safe from all the dust and chemicals), but also the old interior design made my PTSD kick back in. Thus currently I'm struggling with constant flashbacks and a mental breakdown AND a redecoration I need to do FAST to get rid of all the elements that bring back the traumatic memories :(
I swear, once I'm done with it I sit down to drawing and finish all the due commissions, but please, give me a bit more time, so that I can finally stop re-living this nightmare again and again x_x

Hi everyone! :D
As you may remember, we were moving out of our flat, trying to sell it for a couple of months. We finally managed \o/ That's our first experience of this kind, so it's a bit tricky for us and gets time consuming to talk to all the advisors and read all the info on the Internet. Also preparations for moving out and looking for a new place to stay before we find a new flat to buy takes a lot time and energy, so I'm not able to spend as much time on Fa, or working on my art as I would like to. It does not mean I'm not working at all though, so to all the commissioners - rest assured, that your commissions are brewing~ ;D
OMG I'm so hyper! We're finally moving out of this sh*thole (we have been living in the most hostile place on Earth x_x dangerous too), spreading our wings and flying off to a city with different culture (everyone seems to be so extremely cordial there <3) and different... everything! From paved desert to the heart of a forest sourrounded by countless lakes and picturesque mounds (ღ˘⌣˘ღ)
So cross your fingers for us and I hope you all will have as good a day as I did yesterday, on the day of signing the pre-initial deal (or however it's caled xD) <3

Hi! Since I am finishing all the previous commissions, I decided to open for new ones! This time a little different manner. If you're interested, please check out the info about them and my updated ToS (I managed to shorten it by half! xD)


COMISSION INFO

TERMS OF SERVICE

Last Friday we got an info from my gf's Uni, they're cutting her social grant. The University she studies on is undergoing some administrative changes and they apparently need their money elsewhere, or got some financial cuts from the Ministry. We don't know yet, but what I do know is that the whole upkeep of the family is solely on my shoulders now. I aslo know that with my health problems and the current prices of commissions I won't be able to provide my family with all the basic needs. And I really mean basic needs, like food and paying bills. Now, without her grant we're losing 60% of our recurring montly income, and that leaves us with just my welfare money for my disability, which is $228 so like only $28 more than our monthly flat fee. I have to raise the prices and it's really not because I'm a greedy bitch.

The prices of stream commissions are already higher, you can check them on my Picarto below the stream window. The regular commission prices will not be changed greatly, most of them will stay as it is, and the changes higher than $10 will apply only to painting commissions.

Hi! I'm back and I got all the power supply I need C:

To celebrate that and to catch up a bit on all the pending and new ideas I'm planning on making a Stream Commission Weekend . I'will be streaming at random hours, but throughout most of the day today, tomorrow and the day after that (29 - 31 March) with short breaks in the meantime (I need my coffee you see *nods with a serious face*) and a longer (an hour or two) break in the middle (around 5PM - 6PM CET).

Everyone is invited to come and watch and if you wish for a commission, post your idea for the usuall Idea Contest.

For Newcomers:

To see how stream commissions look like, check out my gallery - most of my latest works are just that. You'll figure out which are Stream Commissions for sure ;)

There is no list, nor a pre-determined amount of slots to be taken. It all depends on how much time we have and the complexity of commissions taken.

It's around 2 - 4hrs to finish a commission. My minimum ever was 30 minutes, maximum, I believe, 7hrs (but that was a character creation and it always takes more time).

I won't accept anything overly complex for a stream commission.

You must be present on stream at the moment I'm choosing a commissioner I will draw for. This happens in the beginning of the stream and after completion of each previous art. I choose only 1 person at a time.

I choose the commissions I'm going to draw based on an Idea Contest. How it goes:

1) You submit your commission idea through a form available on my Picarto (scroll down from the stream window for commission info and links to my ToS and Commission Form). By submitting the idea you confirm that you read my ToS and accept it. You must be present on the stream to have your idea chosen. If you're not, your idea stays in my database and it's possible to still get it chosen the next time I'm taking a commission when you're present on the stream and you poke me (could be public, could be a whisper) that you still want it done. You can submit as many ideas as you please.

2) I read through my idea database (no worries I use it solely for handling those commissions, I don't trade data, nor allow anyone to see it, won't send you spam nor any other messages not connected to the commission at hand) and I choose the idea I'd like to draw at the moment. If it's not yours there is still a chance, it will be chosen later if you poke me saying that you're still around and still want it done. If there is no such chance (i.e. it's something I wouldn't want to draw - most of those things are mentioned in my ToS) I will notify you immediately.


3) I announce the winner publicly, unless you chose to be anonymous. Then I say the winner wants to stay anonymous, I contact you only via Picarto Whispers and never mention who you are neither on the stream, nor later, posting your commission to FA. All stream commissions will be posted in my gallery, since they're already publicly drawn, so it wouldn't really make sense to do it otherwise xd

4) We discuss the details of the commission (I usually do it via whispers), I price it and ask for your paypal adress, where I send an invoice. Once the payment reaches me I start drawing.

5) I sketch and lineart the chosen commission. To save up time I send the picture to my assistant for putting the flats on it. In the meantime I sketch and lineart another commission, then it goes to my assistant and I do the colour mastering and shading for the first commission, then when it's finished I do the same for the second one.

6) I send you the finished picture via mail (to the adress given in the from) in the full resolution (usually around A4 size, print quality) and I publish it here. The end :)

CAUTION: I reserve the right to stop the stream at any time (I got health issues that may require some attention plus my dog is currently a bit sick and I may need to walk him/take him to the vet if it gets worse). If I end the stream midst making of your commission I will finish it either on the next stream, off-stream (I would work with you on it via mail or discord), or we can set a date for making a stream to finish it if you wouldn't be able to come to the next one - you choose the option that suits you the most.

Most of the people understand that and have no problems with that, but just to be sure everyone knows what this game is about: Idea Contest is well... a contest. It has only one winner at a time. Commissioning process was made into the Idea Contest because I was getting too many ideas submitted to be able to draw them all. There is a chance I will never get to choose your idea.
Why is that so? I got way over 60 undrawn ideas at the moment I'm writing this and this is a number that is growing rapidly each stream. At this rate it's just impossible for me to get them all drawn, even if I were drawing 24/7.
I will never shut the Idea Form down:
1) Not to limit anyone's creativity with their ideas. I know that before the form was made available all the time and it was launched only for short moment, participants had tons of ideas, sometimes briliant, that got forgotten and unused. I don't want to lose any of the ideas, I value them too much and it just hurts me to see some of them lost.
2) Not to limit myself with my options. Please note the commissioned pieces make up to 85% of all my arts. This gives them a great influence on the general profile of my art and thus I need to be able to choose what that profile is going to be.
3) Not to change the Idea Contest into your typical commission list. It was like that at the very beginning - didn't work.

Hello! I'm going to disappear from the Internet for some time (can be till evening, can be a couple of days) due to some technical issues with the power net. The power provider reserves the right to be super slow to react so I can't really tell how long will it take but seems like i can take up to 4 days x_x Im writing this message on the last portions of energy in my phone battery and I feel like I'm a last survivor trapped somewhere in the mountains without any food and stepping onto survival path lol xD But no worries we still have water and gas for cooking, so we'll be ok xD

Okay I dug through all of my folders and uploaded all the pending works. A big thank you to all who wrote me, it was a great help. I hope that's all, if not and your commission is still not uploaded then please, please, please, do tell me and I'll upload it at once (unless you wanted me not to).
Sorry for the spam. I hope it's more enjoyable than bothersome to you :X

Also I wanted to inform about a slight change in the stream commission making process that I'm going to introduce to make the work faster.

For some time now the amount of people interested in getting a stream commission grew over the manageable level, making me unable to draw for them all. It hurts me a lot, especially each time I need to choose just one person and refuse all the rest :C Recently I talked to my assistant who's responsible for laying most of the flats in the fullcolor pictures and in the more intricate simpler works (they're really much more thorough and faster than I could ever get) and they offered they could be helping me with streams.
Colouring the lineart is one of the most time consuming parts and is not really exciteable, it's more of a mechanical thing, therefore I will be sending the work to my assistant to colour, while I'll be able to work on another lineart in the meantime. Then I'll be going back to the first commission, adjusting the colours and going for shading and the rest. This way I will, hopefully, be able to make more than one picture during one stream and keep up with the demand.
