Posted 3 weeks agoFirst kiriban was caught! Tbh I'm surprised that someone decided to join, I thought people forgot what is it because of comments in previous journal.
So now the only kiriban is 100k views.

Kiriban and something else
Posted a month agoHey hey hey!
I never tried this for years and did this only on DA, but I realized that I already reached 90k views! Holy crap, never thought that it will happens someday.
At the same time rn I have 59418 faves. So, let's try: if someone will catch 100k or 60k faves - write me please and show screenshot - you'll get fullbody drawing or even three frame sequence, no difference, we we will duscuss what you will want me to draw (except porn, sorry, I don't draw it).
At the same time my commissions still opened. About $800 left to reach the goal.
My prices
DM me please if you're interested!
Also if you want you can support me on Ko-Fi

Thoughts
Posted 2 months agoBecause of situation in the world and low bank account balance since the middle of the summer I don't see the future. I'm sure things will be only worse and someday I'll realize that my inbox is empty for a few months and I even can't borrow money from a friend again to continue to exist. At the same time I realize that I'm totally a loser as artist not only because of this: I don't grow as artist and people are not interested in my art. When other people reaching few thousand followers in a year after they registered their accounts, I'm stuck on the same place and people just scroll my art in the feed and remove in submissions. Advise to "keep posting" which I always see in comments and replies isn't working.
I'm checking remotely jobs in my specialty from time to time, but turned out that my portfolio isn't interesting for employers: not only because things changed last six years, but also because my works were always too boring. Because of this I realize that I need to find something else, but the only skill which I have is drawing, beginner level as animator and also can make 3D objects, but this is ridiculous: nobody will want to pay for the same quality as mods for GTA Vice city. So looks like I need to learn something else, but in this case I need time for that and should be less active with drawing.
Don't know what to do.

Emergency commissions still opened
Posted 3 months agoTurned out that I'm totally broke after mortgage patyment, so I still hold them. :/
Just interested...
Posted 3 months ago... why you have no rights to make something like challange to draw your OC even because of birthday if you don't have 10k followers on Twitter? Furries, what the fuck is wrong with you?
Yes, I never been successful aritst, I was never lucky like ChocEnd or Coyote, I started to grow only in 2019, before that I never reached more than ~300 watchers/followers during long years on any website! Damn, I'm really sure that I'll need another 18 years to reach at least 5k watchers on my current account, most of people don't like my art and some of my watchers/followers leaving me when they realize that I'm not fulltime inflation artist, it's just impossible.
What will be your next move, new generation, you will ban people like me from visiting cons?

Big issue with tax service / emergency commissions opened
Posted 4 months agoI'm lucky as always.
- Got a mail from tax service a week ago
- Visited them, they told me that I didn't gave them two declarations that I didn't know about (not kidding, previous time in the end of April NOBODY told me about it).
- Did what I should do
- And got a very big fine in few days after that
Now I'm totally broke because of them, I even borrowed pretty big amount from a friend and took a credit, but it's not enough to pay all this crap. I still owe them about $2000 and should pay this before 15th of July or the consequences will be even worse (as I realized they even can block my bank accounts, that will be a disaster).
DM me if you're interested in commission, I also will try to come up with new YCH asap. Also if you want you can support me on Ko-Fi (you can do this as part of inflation drive too, it's still not over).
Thank you very much in advance!

18
Posted 8 months agoSo, today 18 years were passed since I "officially" became a furry artist. Looks like I'm an "adult" now. :D
I really don't understand
Posted 9 months agoWhat's the point of continuing to draw if skill doesn't mean anything anymore and everything depends on whether you know famous artist or not?
No subject
Posted 10 months agoI'm very sorry that I don't reply to all comments. Sometimes I really don't know what to say.
Sorry.
Sorry.

Twitter :/
Posted a year agoI don't want to use my Twitter SFW account anymore.
- Impossible to grow
- Impossible to gain followers
- Very low activity if someone cool didn't do retweet
- Almost no commissions
When I cleaned this account in July I paid attention to a lot of things. And the most weirder thing: after I reached 1k my account reached 1100 in 1,5 months. But after that... Something happened. Idk what, but I reached only +70 in about six months and still can't get only 6 followers since the end of June to reach 1200.
Idk what's the reason: maybe this is because of algorythm, maybe I got shadowban again, maybe my art became worse than before... I just don't want to know, I'm fucking tired of this.
And the worst: because of situation with Twitter I realizing that I'm totally a loser. And because of this thinking about suicide again and again.
6 years (and 11 years total with very first account), wasted for nothing. T_T

Commissions reminder
Posted a year agoI don't know what to do [2]
Posted a year agoMore than two months were passed since I stopped get new commissions.
I'd want to believe that things will be better and my friends still telling me this, but no, not this time, it will never happen anymore.
I thought maybe I can start to make abopts, but with my luck this will be waste of time.
Looks like it's time to quit drawing.

I don't know what to do
Posted a year agoToday it's been exactly a month since I got last commission from Twitter/FA (all drawings I posting now are commissions from February and beginning of March). After that there was a silence, my reminders didn't worked as always (this time I posted them even on DA and Tumblr, cuz situation was too serious), then I went completely broke (I covered my credits and mortgage only because I borrowed huge amount for a friend), and now I really have nothing to eat. And you know, I realize that I have no way out from current situation.
During this month I asked for help my friends, old commissioners, even few artists, but all of them told me "Jana I don't know how to help you" or "Jana I can't help you" again and again. Of course some people started to tell me that "people don't have money now", "there is a world crysis" or even "new financial year just started" (most ridiculous thing: a year ago I heard this five times in different months). But at the same time I see that artists which I follow opening commissions and close them after few days, because all slots were taken. Damn, even one of my friends opened them, went to bathroom and when he was back, people also took all slots. This is just impossible! It seems like lack of money is not the reason, it's just that people would rather spend it on cooler/popular artists and I understand that, cuz I'm fucking noname.
By the way one person suggested me officially become a bankrupt, what could help me at least a little. But it's turned out that most likely in this case I'll become a homeless: if you don't fully own something like your house or car, it can be taken away.
About a month ago I wrote on Twitter that I'll try to find another job, but it's turned out that this is too hard: I'm useless disabled person, in my country all official jobs for me are low-paid and salary there is not enough even to cover my mortgage, not to mention other bills and credits. Other my skills are not enough, for example 3D: any person who know Blender at least as beginner can do much more than me in 3DsMax.Or writing music (is it possible to earn at least something if this is just a stupid hobby and you sharing this only with few friends? Of course not!). One friend suggested to make plushies again, but right now I don't have sewing machine, not to mention matherials and other stuff. I don't have the opportunity to buy this. Moreover, it can take a lot of time to find your first customer or you'll never find anyone, it's like a lottery.
So right now drawing is the only thing I can do online, but I screwed up. Of course I can animate too, but it will take YEARS to reach at least something. Not to mention it can't be monetized due to copyright (because of music from popular animation memes for example). I could try to draw for other fandoms, but that's meaning that I should start everything from the beginning again, what's also can take years.
And the worst thing: I realized that more than a year I always survived by a miracle, I never was successful as fulltime artist. Sometimes people bought my commissions because of a pity after my posts and journals, sometimes a person with sequence appeared in the last moment and gave me pretty big amount because of this, sometimes people donated me money, what's also helped me a lot when I hadn't enought commissions. This time miracle didn't happened. And looks like will never happen anymore.
I don't see the solution of my problems, I'm totally powerless in current situation. And tbh I don't want to live anymore.

Emergency commissions opened
Posted a year agoSo it's time to open emergency commissions again.
This time situation is harder: I didn't paid credit in the end of the month and already got fines, which growing every day. Not to mention that mortage will be soon, so this time my goal is $2000. :/
More prices
Also if you want you can support me on Ko-Fi

For commissioners:
Posted a year agoSorry for being too slow lately, have some problems with health + since previous week workers doing something with cables in the building, so sometimes I don't have electricity because of this for almost whole day.
Hope I can return to a normal rhythm soon.

Back
Posted 2 years agoSorry, was inactive for a while because of moving. I thought it will take only two days as always, but it's turned out that at first I needed to finish few things at apartment, then I had problem with movers and because of this I needed to spend two evenings to take all my stuff here (first day I was in hurry because of them and didn't took all my stuff).
So, I FINALLY MOVED TO MY OWN APARTMENT, YAY!
And finally back to work yesterday lol

Commissions closed (and closed for whole November)
Posted 2 years agoBig thanks to everyone for commissioning me and for support, it was pretty hard, but I finally reached the goal, yay!
At the same I can say it's a pity that people on FA almost not interested in my commissions. Idk what's wrong: maybe the reason is that I almost don't draw fetish stuff (I'd want, but I don't have enough time for personal stuff and last months people asking me to draw inflation or other NSFW very rarely, so I just have nothing to upload in this case), or maybe my drawings became worse. And please, no need to tell me that "people don't have money to buy commissions": all my friends, who have prices higher than me, don't have any problems and always get enough work for comfort life.
In November I'll don't open commissions, I think I'll take a break from them. I'll try to make some YCH: maybe one group YCH auction and few with fixed price.
Thanks a lot for help again! ^^

Well...
Posted 2 years ago9 days left, I earned only about 55% of needed amount and looks like I'll totally screw up.
What else I can do? Previous reminder got less than 200 views in two weeks and I got the only commission on FA. Looks like people really not interested.
