Attack on a Children Hospital and more
Posted a year agoToday I woke up to the news of Russia shelling another massive attack on my home. On top of destroying an entire apartment building and power stations, they decided it's time to threw a missile at a children hospital as well. I feel paralyzed the entire day due to this devastating news.
Okhmatdyt Children's Hospital is the largest children's hospital in Ukraine, with most modern equipment used to threat kids of all ages. The shockwave from the explosion shattered all the windows and partially damaged the hospital itself. Both children and doctors were injured, and there are casualties. Currently a lot of people volunteered to clear the rubble and save those who is still stuck underneath. Mostly children.

Posted a year agoHello!
At the start of this month I have quit my job at the Amazon warehouse. To keep it short, it became too physically and mentally impossible to keep it on - in the last month it has been nothing but constant 10-15 kg heavy packages and more than 32k steps almost daily for 4, or 5 days (if they needed us for an extra shift.). I was my first ever official job (apart from freelance) and while generally it was a decent experience, I threw me quite far in terms of my main passion, which is art.
Currently I'm dealing with my physical health and trying my best to return to art as fast as I can. Hopefully more updates soon!
Have a wonderful day.

Russian invasion of Ukraine - two years after
Posted a year agoHello again. I've been quite a ghost recently, for that I am sorry.
Today, 24th of February, is a day when mine and all ukrainians dreams, hopes and lives went crashing down. A day that supposed to be a joy for me, for I was traveling to Czech Republic to visit my beloved partner once again, only to quit Polish borders after 8 tiring hours of waiting. Only to enter the nightmare, with phones now awake and the others keep repeating - "the war started."
My life since then was never the same.
I woke up daily to news of another city, another house being bombed by russian agressors. Another life taking. I live with never-going fear that one day, that house, that family, will be mine.
I was crying a lot. I went throught extremely dangerous depressive episode and almost lost everything i've loved - my passion, my loved one, a place to live. In a way finding work in the Amazon warehouse saved my soul for it helped me gain my focus back. But even then, I really hate writing online these days. After start of russian invasion, after Bucha, Mariupol, Kherson, Kachovka and many, many more horrible events, I just can't bring myself to talk to people online even. I'm sorry if you feel ignored - it's a mental block I'm struggling still to break.
I've lost a bunch of people dear to me, in horrible, painful deaths. Like family friend, who inspired me to draw and who was a very talented, incredibly gifted artist. Just recently became a dad. Blown to pieces on a minefield during mission. Only his hand remained.
It's more scars after what I've went throught with my granny and grandpa passing from terrible cancer pain.
I can't stand hearing Russian language. Used to write in it, speak IRL,enjoy some media. All gone now, feels alien and brings me pain. I'm glad that in a place I live I barely hear it around myself anymore. Just reading it online makes me physically sick.
The war is still going.
But you can make a difference and even with tinniest bits of donations or spreading the word out.

Thank you for reading this journal. It was hard to write.

They currently host a charity adoptable charity adoptable Marik, 100% of profit will be transferred to support a Ukrainian pup Marik who is living in a small (relocated due war) shelter in Novopokrovka settlement (near Kharkiv). Now since the cold season is approaching, these artists would be grateful for any support - even just spreading word around!
I would love to see this group thrive, I can't describe how important any help is right now.

The longest hiatus I've ever took
Posted 2 years agoHello. It's been quite a while.
The last half of the year were quite challenging and a lot of negative events happened that took a massive toll on my mental health, to the point where I am currently looking for the therapy. On top of constant stress due to loved ones being in Ukraine (I've emigrated last year just on the day when the war broke), I've been dealing with massive mental problems, that's been boiling in me for years since my grandma's diagnose with cancer and her horrible passing. The chain of tragedies since then mentally broke me apart and I am no longer a person I've used to be 5 years ago. Since Russia invaded Ukraine, I've been separated from my family and haven't seen neither my mom, my other grandma and brother with niece in 1.5 years. If not the kindness and patience of my boyfriend and his wonderful family, it could been a complete ruin.
Then the summer hit, and do it got so much worse. Kachovka's dam cynical explosion absolutely broke my heart apart, and things were not easy since. My brother's apartment suffered via the shockwave, so he had to replace the windows and the doors. Thankfully, his family was away by that time. But this event made my fears feel even so real. And then.. My friend's boyfriend drowned, in a horrible tragic accident, my friend's life completely turned upside down with no bright future whatsoever, and I lost someone i personally knew, met and interacted with. And I was too far to be with my friend in this horrible moment.
Since then, I've had a dark period that I am not proud of and the way I've acted towards the people I love so deeply. I couldn't talk to my closest ones, I've closed up and been simply crying for days. So I had to took myself together. Currently, I'm looking for a manual work to get my head in order and integrate into the absolutely new society for me. It's not smooth and I've been rejected already on my recent interview, and while I wait with anxiety I do my commissions. I'm really sorry they are going so slow - the creativity part of mine got affected the most by all the stress endured during this few months.
• If somehow you wish to support me - you can buy me a ko-fi.
I'll do my best to thank you later when my situation will improve for just a little. •
Will I start posting again? I'm not sure if I still feel comfortable with it enough to be frank, but we will see.
Thank you for your attention and forgive me for my silence. Hope you are all safe.
And hope to see you all soon.

Health Issues
Posted 3 years agoSince the beginning of the year, I'm experiencing some unexpected heavy changes in my hormonal and physical health, which led to issues that prevents me to keep a steady workflow. Commissions are currently closed to allow me to focus on my current orders. I don't even have energy to answer to most people who write to me, so I am sorry if I do not respond in time.
To my clients - I'll update you the moment I feel a bit better.
Please, stay safe and healthy ♥

Scammer warning
Posted 3 years agoI got scammed by dumplingxiin

Be careful accepting commissions from that person. Or at least do not be as naïve as me and request payment upfront.
On April 15, 2022, I was contacted by DumplingXiin via Twitter and Discord for a chibi couple commission slot. I was send references. My biggest mistake can be spotted already, I am used to trust in my commissioners so I decided that they can pay me after. Everything seems to be going smooth, communication was fast, we worked out the commission until the DumplingXiin was satisfied. I was happy to provide a good service. I made a second mistake. I handled a finished work before i got paid. Because I was too excited that I finished.
And once I handled it, communication nearly ceased to exist. Responses was once in a few days, and I started to get nervous. I felt a bit better once I got to invoice the person, but since then it was never really paid, and communication was poor. I was understanding and sympathetic towards their issues, but it got to a point where it started to feel very iffy and suspicious. In response to my now less positive post, I got a passive-agressive respond from DumplingXiin and another "payment will be soon" kind of excuse. I've arranged a deadline because I genially hoped things still can turn to the better. I've waited 2 weeks, only to find out I am no longer in a friend list and unable to write to them. I warned them via invoice that I'll have to take it to the public if they won't pay.
And they did not.
I won't lie, I feel absolutely terrible and crushed due to it. My goal was always to provide a positive service and I always try hard on my work. My clients means a lot to me. So being betrayed like that is a hard pill to swallow. Unfortunately I will have to change my ToS to protect myself from situations like this for now on. The timing just make this situation all even worse. I had to do extra work to cover the loss.
So once again, be very careful. Better safe than sorry.
To dumplingxiin: my DMs are free. You can contact me at any moment. This still can be resolved if you contact me.

RUSSIA-UKRAINE WAR: INFO AND WAYS TO HELP
Thank you all. Stay safe. War in Ukraine and update
Posted 3 years agoThere has been so many things I wanted to say... But I will try to keep it short.
My country, my beautiful Ukraine, got invaded by Russian government after 8 years of conflict escalation. For most of people it's a surprise, I sadly feared this day may come eventually. But I did not expected the scale.
When things become heated, my boyfriend invited me in Czech republic and I took an exhausting 2 days of travel. 20 hours on a train, then almost 17 on the bus. And just when Poland allowed us to transfer, within few hours I've learned of invasion, when most cities got bombed.
I left on a very last moment with only 50 euro in my pockets.
Currently, I am safe with my boyfriend, but my eyes are all red from crying because all my family is behind. I couldn't bring them with me. So right now all I can do is work hard an pray for their safety. Both of my little niece parents are in military and I currently have no contacts with my brother. I am scared, pained, but I don't allow hysteria to overcome.
I need some time to regain my mental and physical energy.
Please, if you can, support those Ukrainian artists you follow. And do not send hate to Russian ones.

Posted 3 years agoHi, it's Margo.
Over this month my physical health had been worsened. Together with back pain I also now experience a nasty infection and bleedings. My first surgeon doctor has given me treatment that made me feel much worse - I have to take antibiotics now to fight infection. I cannot sleep normally due to pain and overally feeling very weak. I will try my best to work, but I still felt a need to keep my watcher\commissioners updated.
It doesn't help that things around my country does not feel safe. I hope it will stabilize.
Stay safe, everyone.

Posted 5 years agoTo All My Commissioners - Thank you
Posted 5 years agoI’ve been wanting to write this journal since many-many months ago.
You may have all noticed that I was sometimes silent for a very long period of time. It’s been like that for 2 years. Before I felt wrong to talk about it, but now, after it’s over, I feel I should give you some explanation. I started taking PayPal commissions when I learned that my grandfather, by the name of Vladimir, was diagnosed with terminal cancer. I worked hard during the night and was with him in the daytime. For those 2 years, my entire family has been fighting for his life. Even if we all knew that we wouldn't win this one. It was a very morbid time. I saw many things I wish nobody to witness in their life. It’s extremely painful to see life fading away from your loved ones, especially when the process of it follows by deep pain and suffering.
On April 1st, my grandfather passed away. I wish I could say peacefully, but I can’t. The last months have been very rough. Even a few days after the funeral, I still cannot believe it, and I feel a piece of me is gone with him.
So… Why am I writing all of this?
I want to thank my commissioners and the people who have been supportive of me throughout this sad journey. Seriously, guys, I am not religious, but you were blessed angels for my family. You kept me working and helped me to push through the final hour for so long. Doctors gave my grandpa only a few months in 2018. He lived for more than 2 years. All thanks to you. I can’t express how eternally grateful I am for this - me and my entire family. Only thanks to you, he lived enough to see his grand-grand-daughter, my niece. Only thanks to you, he lived enough till my graduation. Only thanks to you, he lived and fought the disease like a beast. Only thanks to you I’ve managed not to give up completely.
It felt wrong to me to reveal this info openly for many months, I did not want to be seen as an attention seeker or mooching for money by using my grandpa’s diagnosis. Only very few people knew what’s really going on. But now, since he’s at peace, I can finally speak up.
Thank you. Thank you all so much for commissioning me during that time.
You all are true heroes.
If once you will feel down, please, remember this journal. You all are awesome and very cool people.

Thank you. Thank you all so much for commissioning me during that time.
You all are true heroes.
If once you will feel down, please, remember this journal. You all are awesome and very cool people.
