commissions are now closed. thanks for all the support! :) i've sent out notes to people who got the last few!

important update [refunds, queue conversions, etc]

General | Posted 4 years ago

So this journal has been a loooongggg time coming...



I no longer use this account. i'm now primarily on my main, i'm trying to figure out what i want to do with my career artwise, but i no longer want to produce ABDL content.

this doesn't have anything to do with like OH I HATE THIS COMMUNITY i still don't...even mind drawing it sometimes, and i'm not judging so please don't worry about that



 but honestly, a lot of personal decisions just combined with the fact this isn't really the niche i want to do, that's pretty plainly it.

i'm super grateful for every single person who commissioned me here. the truth is though, ever since i started this account...

i moved 8 times. two cross country. i was in inpatient for 6 months. i changed a lot as a person. i've been very, very broke for a long ass while from just so much moving, from just trying to live and exist. i took on too much work! 



i'm in a different spot now. while i still need to get my finances in a better place, i now live somewhere WAY more safe and secure than i ever have, with my fiance. and therefore i'm gonna do something i've wanted to do: which is either convert queue pieces to pieces i can do on my main account, or give refunds.



i can't do refunds all at once, and i can't sweep my queue clean all in like. idk. a week. but yeah

so here's the options



1. Convert your art: Basically take a piece of art you bought and we change the subject to something I'm more motivated to do. some of the queue work i don't mind doing, just some of it ...my art style has changed and i dunno if it even really fits the older YCHS, i feel like i could do better now. so turning a YCH into a whole new pic, i'd be willing to do that. so you get better art and a more stylized pic.



2. Refunds: These can take a while but I can refund if we both mutually agree the piece has just been sitting for too long/isn't working. 



3. Keep it: I'm willing to keep something if people really want it. Just talk to me, let's discuss, yada.



So...yeah. I'm gonna be going through my queue and contacting people but also if you reach out first,, that'd be SUPER helpful to me. please be nice, please be understanding, and we'll get you set up with something that works best for you.



apologies i haven't been the most reliable person in the past while, i really don't need to give a bunch of excuses but honestly, my mental health is a constant battle on top of everything and i'm just....doing my best to get better, be better. so yeah, this is me just trying to sort it all out.

many thanks, and i'm looking forward to working with you all to get this tidied up.

Big Queue Check In

General | Posted 5 years ago

let's make this simple, short and easy!



I have sent out lots of WIPS to people but never heard back from them. So I'm doing a check-in system.

Please NOTE ME. Please. What you got from me that's on my queue.



https://trello.com/b/ufbd3iBP/queue

https://trello.com/b/ufbd3iBP/queue

https://trello.com/b/ufbd3iBP/queue



PLEASE check in. In exactly one week, I will be reorganizing my queue so that anyone who I don't hear back from will be on a list that I will be saving... but I will be working first and foremost on those who have been communicating, replied to WIPS, are still active on FA, etc.



Oh and be polite. I'm aware my queue was very big. Nowadays things are different and I can handle my work way better now. I've apologized many times before but I'm saying it again: I was in an abusive household, moved 8 times cross country as well and was in inpatient therapy for six months. Finances were insanely tough. I now live with my boyfriend and things are finally better for me.



Thanks as always. Also, if you want to change something on the queue, you can message me as well. Have a great rest of the week and stay safe<3

REPOST: BIG NEWS

General | Posted 5 years ago

reposted from my main account, 



hey there!



so for those who don't know, i'm going to sum it up for you real quick.

ever since i started doing art for a living, times have been tough. i moved around 9 times (twice cross country, like, delaware to cali then back again) and was also in inpatient therapy for 6 months.



i've scraped pennies and piled on too much work and as a result, i'm having to slowly work through a pile of commissions bit by bit and try and chisel away so i can get back to finishing art quick. my goal is to be able to finish pieces in under a months time and to have streams where i get multiple pieces done a day like i used to.



i am so, so close to that goal. every time i would try in the past, shit would happen. i am VERY mentally ill. without listing every single diagnosis i have gotten from therapists, lemme sum it up: huge depressive swings. intense mania. nightmares almost every night. extreme exhaustion, trouble just functioning. sometimes i don't even wake up till 6pm or later (i am currently working on fixing my sleep schedule, and it's actually going better, but still) i take several medications, one which i am currently off of as i wait for a refill. the past year my living situation also became unhealthy, a bad roomie who was a hoarder, etc etc, and of course, fucking COVID.



but light is finally at the end of the tunnel. in five days, i am FINALLY at a destination where i can get back on my feet. i haven't been steady on my feet in a long, long time. this is seriously a big change for me, a big step forward.



the past couple of weeks have been...insanely stressful. i am not planning on working till i get settled into my house. so *here's the deal*



CURRENT QUEUE WORK: stream work, work from my alt account, commissions/ychs from here...they will all be worked on more frequently during this month as i start figuring out a schedule for the upcoming months. i will also be doing some streams as i still am going to need income eventually, but this month, my boyfriend will be helping.



i'm going to get through my queue. i'm going to start planning projects! things are going to get so much better.

please just have patience with me in what will hopefully be my last big transition for a long, long time. i ask that you try and hold back on the notes, i have everyone written down on my queue. if you've been waiting a while on something, i WILL get to it. i also try to upgrade the commission or draw a little doodle if i can.



so thank you so much, everyone, for your continued support. streams will be starting in the next week or two after internet has been set up and i've moved in a bit! (maybe even sooner if i have some free time!)



much love,

star <3

small update

General | Posted 5 years ago

partially cross posted from my other account



so i've decided to continue my hiatus until around the end of april. my mental health is still really, really bad. 



i will be doing a few streams to knock out the commissions on there/keep my funds at an okay level, and will probably post a few offstream commissions as well to keep the queue slowly going down. i just ask for patience during this time. i'm also hard at work correcting my sleep schedule. frankly, it sucks and is super hard LOL



any questions? note me <3

a honest journal.

General | Posted 5 years ago

posted this on my other account but



hey guys



i have not been doing well with the quarantine. this year was already a lot, i had a lot of goals and struggles i was working towards/through. tl;dr i was on the phone w the suicide hotline today being talked down from a very bad place



my finances are pretty shoddy right now and my energy to do commissions is at an all time low. i'm taking a few personal days to just draw for myself, i've decided. to decompress and play animal crossing. try and fix my sleep schedule *just* a bit.



if you are waiting for art from me, please be patient. i know i have a big queue. the last few years have been a lot. i'm too tired to go into detail. but six months inpatient + moving 8 times is just one of them.



i am taking a week off. if i am able to, i will stream. but i am going to be focusing on fixing my sleep schedule, eating a little better, and doing whatever commissions i can/art for myself.



please be patient with me. i'm available to chat and would love to, i'm v lonely.



even though i've not bought anything for myself recently, commissions are scarce because we're all going through it right now.



if you would like to help me pay my phone bill/get groceries, here's my ko-fi



https://ko-fi.com/glittermech



thanks for listening...sorry for such a sad post but i needed to be honest. this week i will be doing a lot of self care. by next week, i am hoping to get back to a slightly more sustainable schedule.



much love and happy easter ♥

goals starting the end of april

General | Posted 5 years ago

i'm beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel! my queue is starting to become manageable. In the past month, I managed to get five commissions off my queue done as well as COUNTLESS pieces for current income on streams.



I'm getting to a point where I can say that by the end of April, as long as I can try and get at LEAST two-three MINIMUM (we're talking minimum, i'd like to be able to get 4-5 done a week) my queue will be down to approximately 20 pieces (minus three bigger projects i'm working on seperately)



this means that by the end of april, i can begin to take slot commissions with a turnaround time of 2-3 weeks as well as YCHS with the same turnaround. this is something i've been striving to do ever since i got out of inpatient care a year and a half ago. eight moves later, i've been in my current place for over a year, this is my fulltime job, i'm trying to save and pay off stuff...



it's gonna be exhausting at times, but i have full confidence in myself that i can do this. literally if i take 10 commission slots a month, that will usually cover all my living expenses with stuff left over. i also have a secret project in the works



tl;dr, thank you as always for your patience and please keep an eye on your notes for finished pictures. a quick FAQ is below



Q: I want to change my picture. Can I?



A. yeh absolutely!! as long as i haven't started, message me and we can fix it



Q. i've been waiting a long time. why is this?



A. look at my other journals for more details but tl;dr i have moved 8 times in the past several years, two being cross country and spent six months out of those years with no internet access in inpatient. i also worked several exhausting jobs that took away a lot of time for art. this is now my full time career.



Q. do you still do streams? they aren't posted on here usually



A. i am more active with streams over at  ! give that a follow bc i also do freebie raffle streams frequently over there as prizes and for fun



if you have any other questions, note me. have a great rest of the week everyone and look forward to some pictures posted this weekend alongside a *NEW* batch of ABDL chibis!! ft some fun sissy themes ; >
