Super cool new Icon!
Posted 8 years agoHealth update! :)
Posted 8 years agoPhew, so finally after 5 big intakes I got approved for my half years treatment. I will start next week, 3 appointments a week including a psychologist & physiotherapist. They will help me to work on both my mental and physical health, mainly my back, neck and shoulders. This means I have to say goodby to my current psych and therapist and get started with a new fitting program.
I really hope it's going to be worth the effort. And even tough I am doing allot better mentally (since I have been dealing with a burnout and depression for a while), they said this still applies and have to work on that too (and prob dig deeper, sigh). I think it's allot milder now tough, since I feel I am more positive now. Just my body (mostly back pain and feeling exhausted) that's kinda failing me lately...so idk maybe I am just fooling myself :P We will see, in the end I am very positive about this new place! They are very nice and there is allot of clarity, something that's very important to me.
Meanwhile I will continue to work on commissions and personal projects, but keep in mind that my schedule is pretty busy for the coming 20 weeks at least! :O Good case scenario would be, after I am done at that place I like to open new onesie (or plushies!) commissions again! Wish me luck ♥ Can't wait to be me again, back in action as an full time artist and make awesome stuff for all you guys ♥ ^____^

How 2017 have been for me!
Posted 8 years agoJust a copy of what I wrote in my summary as well! I know it's allot, so I guess if you like that kind of stuff enjoy! :P
Comments are appreciated (so I know at least I am not writing to a blank wall here hahaha)
It’s time for a recap again!
Like wooow what a ride it’s been :O
Like always, nothing went like I planned it to be. Not all was that bad and even though it’s been rough, it’s been a bit less stressful then previous years. It’s been overwhelming tough, steps/choices had to be made and there was allot to process, good and bad. Looking back I am still happy I have still accomplished allot, even though allot of projects have been pushed forward or refunded. Luckily allot of people where super supportive and understanding.
Starting this year I introduced a new Splatoon hat based on the new Splatoon 2 game for the Nintendo Switch. I was totally in love with this hat! Sadly I haven’t made any more of these hats tough, since just a few months later I decided to close my Etsy Shop. To be honest, after so many hats I was happy I could take a break from it and to celebrate the release at least I did a giveaway! ♥ I was happy to move on and was super hyped to work on the eeveelutions and start new projects based on a poll I did early in 2017. Allot of you guys wanted me to offer custom plushies (a welcome surprise!) and backpacks! I was so ready to make it all happen that year, but then something huge changed. In March I got accepted for a graphic designers job, an offer I couldn’t resist. With the financial stress I had been dealing the past couple of years I needed this job. It turned everything upside down, scrapped my freshly made schedule :O emailed my clients and went on this new adventure. However while working my new job I continued to make art in my spare time and was able to finish a hoodie at least. In this new job I was mainly working as a promotional designer, making merchandise and clothing for companies as such. It was a very nice new experience while it lasted :P :)
Looking at the summary, the biggest change comparing to the previous years was that I was making more art again. I really have missed it and was happy I could spend more time drawing again and even more happy that in my eyes even though I barely have drawn I actually gotten better. The thing I love most in my art is that it's quite consisted, I am happy I am developing my own style and I really love the way I draw eyes. I would love to experiment more with soft shadings, so I could combine that more with my cell shading. It might be less bold, more detailed looking that way...since I feel my shadings are still a bit in the kiddies shoes atm. Also it might be a good practice to make more different emotions, since all my drawings are so extremely happy :P hahaha ♥ :D
During the Summer it became extremely difficult for me, I got exhausted and I had to call in sick from work and eventually had to let my job go :( I was very sad, that working a job was again a very painful experience for me again. For this reason, I feel blessed I have you guys that support my freelance work. Without you guys I would be nowhere and thanks to you guys I can grow as an artist and make people around me happy with my art. I have to stay positive, with all that has happened and failures I need to enjoy the things that I can do. It’s still a very hard thing for me to do, but I am slowly more accepting my limitations and how to deal with things. I just hope 2018 will be a productive one, because the fact is there is still much to do. I need that fresh start!
I keep allot to myself and I am very anxious, so I have a difficult time to socialize or talk about personal stuff. But I want to be honest and it might help talking about it and might help me to deal with struggles. This summer I got diagnosed for Autism and heck it explains so much. Allot of anger, regret and sadness have been going through me, I felt so overwhelmed, my world just collapsed. Not because I have Autism (I am still me ♥), but just everything that I have been dealing with and then after 29 years you got this on your plate and you are like f* wish I would have known sooner. As an adult there is allot to process, but I am dealing with it allot better now and I am relieved I've gotten some answers at least! I will go in therapy for it this year, since there basically have been a huge waiting line for it :O I will mainly focus on coping techniques and mindfulness. Some sad things happened too, but I don't want to overwhelm myself too much so I will take it one step at a time and like to stay positive ♥ Like I said It's very hard for me to get out of my comfort zone, I don't like to be vulnerable (it's my safe bubble). I just feel these are things I have to deal with myself and don't want to bother you guys with. I just feel I want to show my good sides, but then again who doesn't right?! ^__^ I guess that's also a reason why I can feel more comfortable in this community, since my fursona represent a powerful bright character ♥ ♥ ♥ All tough for me it still feels as just a glimpse through that split in the wall, which I hope to break someday! O_O
Later that year I just tried to take it easy and tried to make more time for myself, mainly to recover. I took the time to make myself a new elephant girl, she is going to represent my older self (since Suu basically is my fictional younger self, she will stay my fursona tough and still want to make a comic) and felt another character was needed (I mean I will become 30 this year omg). I can’t wait to draw her more and show more of her :) I also introduced some adopts, but sadly they were not a success at all, nobody wanted them loll At least I had fun making them :) Also pretty happy all around with the art I made, just a bit of a shame I haven’t finished more commissions. That will definitely be my priority this upcoming months! Need to have room for new art yakow! I feel so blocked atm.
A fun experience this year was the Inktober I did for the first time. I didn’t do the full 31 days, but still made allot of drawings! I chose to do them all traditional, since not only it was a good practice, but also I had to avoid computer/sewing due to my back getting worse. This way I could still enjoy drawing and not overdo it too much. Really happy with how some of these drawings came out and will make sure to share them here too.
Last but not least, I finally finished one of the 7 eeveelutions! Yup finally after pushing it forward so many times, I finally did it. I am so happy with how the Sylveon onesie came out and can’t wait to share it with you guys :D This one was one of the more complex designs, so I am sure the other ones will be completed allot faster ♥
With any luck (it really depends on my health, how soon I will recover and how busy appointments will be) I am hoping to spend more time on sewing and art again! I like to start this year with finishing the hoodies and art, then start working on the eeveelutions one by one. With any luck I am hoping to open for plushies and onesies later this year, but I can’t promise anything. But it’s definitely my intention to finish everything and make a fresh start. I have been getting extremely amount of interest in my onesies, it's actually kinda overwhelming. With that said I will be doing the best I can to open custom onesies again as soon as I can. I just don't want to get lost in it all and forget there are also other things I want to do.
Soooo phoee sorry it’s allot to read. I didn’t even mentioned everything, so much more happened and have been made…but yeah pretty much this sums it up :) Even though there was allot to process and everything got turned upside down, I am still happy with the progress I’ve made and in the end I am just super grateful to be part of this community. You guys are awesome! Thanks for everything and wish me luck for 2018!

Little update!
Posted 8 years agoYou might have noticed no new uploads! Everything went so well with the kigu and I had high hopes to finish it weeks ago. Sadly I restrained my shoulder while I was doing exercises (it was basic yoga lol) which I was advised to do from the doctors. Because my back/shoulders are already pretty weak and sensitive I was in pain and needed rest. I could barely walk or sleep because of it, everything just kept hurting :( Funny, I am trying to fix myself or at least get better and now it only gets worse O_O The more I work on myself to take a step forward, I take 2 steps back. I keep doing everything what they ask me to do, but I am loosing my motivation and getting more tired by the day. It's also hard for me to focus, either the physical or the mentally pain is taking over so whenever I try to fight one, the other is making it hard for me to do so and so on.
But I won't give up! I am trying to stay positive ♥
I made extra appointments to my physiotherapist and chiropractor and the doctor gave me extra strong painkillers, but I am off them now. It's going a bit better, but I am back to where I was with a few weeks doing nothing sigh. I still continue to have allot of pain and exhausting feeling in my back, so there is still much to do. I went to my doctors, because after years trying to get better, I got worse. Doctors said, because of the chronic pain in my back/shoulders and the constant exhaustion it gives me I have to start a different treatment. Advise was to go to a specialist (well nothing new there :P) and hope for the best and my back will get better which means I could get back to my commissions again O_O. I will start in January, 3 days a week and it takes about 5 months and check ups later that year. It's nothing special or dangerous just simple training and such with a coach both mentally and physically, just takes allot of time, energy and discipline. So I hope you guys will continue to have the patience with me and support me while I fight this so I can come back and be the person I was a few years ago. Making awesome stuff for you guys and to be happy! (note that I will try to finish commissions whenever I can, so I won't be off the radar this whole time :O)
Oh and in 6 months or so after I am done with making my back "better" or at least how to handle the pain, I will start (on the waiting list now) some coping techniques and mindfulness and all that stuff to also fight my demons. I have to take control over my head! I am so done with this big circle of being weak physical and mentally what keeps looping itself I am so tired of it. I just want to be happy, live pain free and being able to craft en draw again! I miss it and I feel worthless atm. Having people wait for their commissions, doesn't make it better either. I really hope it will get better tough. But for now, I need to rest. I am always here if you have a question or want to talk or commission related anything! Thank you all for your amazing support once again! ♥
I know there are people having it worse, I am not saying I have it bad and I know this is my own problem. Still I really appreciate everything and everyone here that is here for me, thank you!

Kigurumi/art commissions update!
Posted 8 years agoHello everyone!
Just a quick update, I am almost done with the sylveon pajama and I uploaded a little wip close up on my page ♥ be sure to check it out!
Also I want to thank you all so much (yes again and a million times again!) for your patience with me! You guys have been so understanding with all the delays and such.
I have a hard time communicating about my burn-out/struggles, since I am not sure how to express myself or how to explain it. But in the end I am just very grateful that you guys are still excited to see my work.
And even tough I am always here to answer your questions or refund your commission, you guys still want to patiently wait until your commission is done and I really appreciate that!
Once this cutie is done, I would like to pick up some art commissions (I like to switch now and then from sewing to art) and finish those and right after I will be picking up some hoodie work before I continue the eeveelution pajamas!
Oh and about the plushies, I will be waiting for those until next year (sorry for those that where interested :() since there is still too much to do atm. I hope you guys are still excited for those and still have the patience with me to wait until next year. I am really excited about making plushies (and backpacks), but I really need to make more progress in my current work load first.
Work is going a bit slow, because of health issues so it's really hard for me to schedule (new) work in advance. Life is just waaayy to unpredictable atm :P and most of my week is fully scheduled of all kind of health appointments what sucks up most of my time and energy, hope you all understand!
Meanwhile I will be doing my best to finish art & sewing commissions! You can always contact me if you need me :)
Be sure to check out my INSTAGRAM to check out more pictures of the sylveon hood and many more updates that I post there ♥
I also post on TWITTER and FACEBOOK! So check those out if you like more updates from me ^__^
Thanks again and hope you all have a awesome day!

Troubled feelings
Posted 8 years agoSometimes I feel troubled, because I keep allot to myself. I don't think you have to tell everyone what's going on in your life. At the same time I feel I owe an explanation, because of responsibilities and such. I don't know whenever I should say something or not. I always end up keeping things for myself, because I don't want to bother people with my stuff or end up hurting myself. I don't want people to get the wrong idea about me either. Honesty is very important to me and I always try my best to make things work. But I am afraid people will get tired of me or that I let them down. I isolate myself in that way. I feel it's my own fault, but at the same time I don't want to tell everything, it's my burden. Idk just my feelings and thoughts atm.
Suu Valkyrie Art question
Posted 8 years agoNeed your feedback guys!
If I where to make some art for my fursona Suu Valkyrie, what would you like to see me drawing. I barely have drawn her the last few years :( I have some ideas, but just curious what you like to see ❤️🐘

PLUSHIE Commissions! ♥
Posted 8 years agoSo decided to split the journal into 2, didn't want my rambling to shadow my plushie update! So if you are interested in my rambling, be sure to read my previous journal!
Starting this year before I knew I would get a new job, I asked you guys what you wanted me to do next time I open commissions...and you guys wanted PLUSHIES!
But I want to stay focused this year to finish my queue, so I don't want to overload myself with lots of new stuff, so I can't go crazy with slots.
Next year I will finally have time to do some new stuff (unless something destroys my plans again:P), things you all wanted from me like Plushies but also Custom Onesies again!!!! Wooooo!
To prepare for next years new items like the Plushies, I need an example! SOOOOOO I want to make a very EXPERIMENTAL PLUSHIE by the end of this year, maybe even for CHRISTMAS???
Would anyone be interested if I did this?
So it's just going to be 1 SLOT, just a concept will be provided, experimental without any real examples beside references to my other stuff. I think my onesies can be a proper example at least.
How much should I charge? Should I do an auction etc etc? Please let me know in comments below and maybe I can set something up very soon! This October probably!
Thanks for reading my stuff! And I really hope I can make this work and start making super cute plushies, something I've been wanted to do since a veryyyy loonnnggg time! ♥ ♥ ♥

Personal health & work update!
Posted 8 years agoSo decided to split the journal into 2, didn't want my rambling to shadow my plushie update! So be sure to read my next journal for that!
Sooo ALLOT has happened this year...again...but we are not there yet!
Remember starting this year I was all excited to work on new projects and I did a poll on my site, but then suddenly I got a job and everything got delayed O_O Booooo!
Well my contract will sadly end soon, I have been sick allot and just allot going on so I guess I can't blame them for not extending my contract.
It's a shame because they where really happy with my work, but I try to be positive and it will basically means I can spend more time on my projects!
So first of all, whatever new projects or commissions I am going to start, will not get in the way with my current queue.
Like I said, I will not be working my job anymore (so I need the money :O), BUT I also need to rest...because well cause I need to take it easy and recover.
But I will be more active again, which means I will finish work from my queue, both art and sewing wise! I am already more active now and slowly finishing stuff from my queue.
At the same time I want to spend some time on new (and personal) stuff too, to keep things inspiring, which means I will feel more motivated doing all the work which I really need atm.
So a bit of a balance between taking rest, finishing art, hoodies and onesies from my queue and new things ♥ The plan is to start fresh in 2018, beside just a few projects (I mean it's still quite allot).
Okay so I hope all this doesn't put me in a weird position, like losing my job, being sick, delayed commissions and all (and pretty much everything that been happening the past few years)...but just allot been going on and I just rather not talk about it in public since these are very private things. But just wanted to say, nobody as well as my bosses in the past as my commissioners were unhappy about the stuff I make. Most of my clients are happy with my work and most job positions are sad to see me go. I've been losing jobs since I can remember because of my health and yeah it sucks, but hey at least I can make projects at home ♥ It's mainly just the hours and stress that's been hitting me hard, but I do know I know my stuff and I can make awesome stuff if I put my heart into it! So I hope you guys understand this and don't think bad of me, that just because I am sick or tired allot this doesn't define me as a person and that I am just an artist that likes to create awesome stuff and make everyone else happy along the way ♥
(I know I am keeping allot to my myself, but idk...I want to be positive...and it's my bubble yaknow. All tough I do share some updates on my health so that's something I guess)
Sooo ALLOT has happened this year...again...but we are not there yet!
Remember starting this year I was all excited to work on new projects and I did a poll on my site, but then suddenly I got a job and everything got delayed O_O Booooo!
Well my contract will sadly end soon, I have been sick allot and just allot going on so I guess I can't blame them for not extending my contract.

Commissions! READ IF INTERESTED ♥
Posted 8 years agoHai everybody!
My art queue is getting smaller and more will be done this month. I plan to accept commissions again and switch between work from my queue with new and personal projects to keep things fresh, being motivated and have some income. NOTE: This doesn't mean your commission will get moved because of new work, I am just going to be more active and have more done! If you are waiting for your commission and I haven't contacted you yet, please email me if you have questions about your commission. I want to draw more often again, alongside with working on my onesies ❤️
ART COMMISSIONS
I want to reopen commissions in October (my contract will end oct 7) and start with Halloween themed commissions. Slots will probably be very limited, since I have to balance it out with other projects and Halloween is right around the corner. I am also working on some adoptables, so I hope that's something I can interest you guys with! ♥
I will make a commission page on my website www.sweetsushi.nl very soon and you will be able to read all about my commissions and stuff there!
I also write a blog there weekly www.sweetsushi.nl/blog for anyone that is interested to read my weekly updates, I talk allot about projects I make, work, games and other personal updates :)
My commission prices are super outdated, so I've come up with new price information.
PRICES 2017/2018
All artwork comes in high resolution/quality, multiple upload versions and are fully digital colored (colors, shades, shines and all the goodness) with a simple background.
Headshots (bust)________€25
Halfbody (waist)_________€40
Fullbody (pinup)_________€60
Scenery (bg)_____________+€20 (depends)
Icons____________________€20
Badges:_________________€50 (incl. laminated and shipping)
Reference sheets________€60
New Traditional Sketches and Badges
Probably going to offer Halloween Slots for a discounted price of €50 (more info about that later)
A visual price sheet will come later and also an updated price page on my website with examples and detailed information.
I am hoping with these new prices I won't struggle so much anymore and that I can continue to do commissions and support myself while creating awesome and cute artwork for you guys.
I also want to improve the working schedule and have a wait time no longer then a month!
Please let me know what you think and if you would be interested in this! Feedback is always welcome ♥

Should I start a PATREON thing?
Posted 8 years agoIt's been something in my mind ever since I knew it existed, but cause of "reasons" I couldn't. I feel I am slowly moving forward again (finally) and was thinking it might be a good idea to do this after I have completed my backlog (ofcourse). Probably starting January 2018! I have some ideas for a patreon page, including streams, vlogs? tutorials, fanart, merch, freebies, polls, discounts etc etc. but not going into detail for now. I was curious what you guys think of this idea?
I want to get back into my game you know, since I have been out of it for such a long time (again "reasons"). And maybe this might be an idea to get back into it and give you guys more in return and be more involved and such. I have been supporting other artist on patreon and freebies or not I was always happy to support my favorite artist out there. I hope you guys would be interested in this concept too and that I will be able to offer you weekly and maybe even daily content again! I know I can do so much more then where I am now and I want to give you that! ♥
Please leave your comments/opinions below, share what you think of this patreon idea and also what do you want to see content/pledge wise if I do start a patreon thing!

Random Name Picker (for the GIVEAWAY)
Posted 8 years agoHaiiii!!
Soo since I am organizing a giveaway spread out on furaffinity and social media, I was thinking about using a random name picker instead of giving out numbers.
I would fill in all the names (and multiple times for people that have earned multiple entries) and randomly pick a name there.
Means if you want more chance to get picked for the giveaway, be sure to check out my social media for more entries ♥
Could also stream it live, so everyone can join the random picking for the giveaway on Sunday or Monday maybe!?
Quickly googled for something and found this http://www.miniwebtool.com/random-name-picker/ if you have any other suggestions, please let me know! ^_^
ALSO just wanted to say, thank you for everyone that already joined the raffle! I didn't expected so many people interested and I am just happy I could organize a giveaway for you guys! ♥ ;D I appreciate you all! Thank you!
