My, my, my how times have changed
Posted 11 months ago Well, I can honestly say that I never thought I would ever come back to this site. Social media was just an easier route to posting and maintaining but recently I have been thinking about all the time I spent on here and kind of miss it. My last journal entry was 8 years ago and a lot has changed since then. I wont bore you too much with the details but a few things are I got married, my lovable kitty cat companion of 17 years passed a few years ago due to cancer, I have two lovely dogs and two adorable kitty cats and we bought our first house out in NV. Needless to say it has been a wild ride and I would like to come back to having some sort of gallery without the craziness of social media. I will still post things there but would really like to focus my efforts on growing this community again.
Ultimately, my goal is to become more self sufficient and dive more into the creative space of running my own art business. I have always had that goal and now feel like I have the time, skills and dedication necessary to start that goal off. I will be posting here for commission openings and I will be accepting them through Vgen, the link can be found on the front page, the header and footers of my journals, also in the footer of my submissions. Any questions regarding commissions or commission types can be asked through notes here or through DMs on my twitter. I prefer to keep my telegram reserved for close friends.
My merch link is posted in the personal site box on the front page. It is all stuff I have created and hope to have another line coming up here soon. Been busy figuring out everything else but I would like to get back to adding more merchandise to the store and different designs. I have also considered opening up a KoFi to sell premade bases, lineart, and reference sheets but that will most likely be coming some time next year when I have the time to dedicate to making them and getting them posted. For now, merch can be found on my store.
My patreon is a little newer and is still a WIP but we DO have a sticker club. I am currently working on the new design for December as we speak and that will be shipped and mailed out probably in the next week or two. Since I have the ability to print and cut my own stickers, I do not have to rely on manufacturing and shipping times during the holidays which is nice. My ultimate goal for that is to have the sticker club up and running smoothly and I would eventually like to offer a enamel pin club as well. Once I have more set aside, I would like to get that one rolling as well.
Now that my plans and goals have been outlined I hope everyone has been well and I hope you all have had a great many a holidays in my absence. I appreciate everyone who stuck around and kept following this old introverts page even through the sporadic posting. I truly appreciate all of you, new and old and I cannot wait to have a new adventure starting in 2025.
Stay safe, stay hydrated and I will see you all soon.
Thanks!!updated T.O.S

Life
Posted 9 years agoWell, who knows how long it's been since I made a journal. 9 months or something. I've been working nonstop for the most part. This job has sucked the fucking life out of me and occasionally I'll have time for a commission or two, or even drawing in general. I feel like I've distanced myself from friends and they don't really talk to me anymore. Could be finals week and that they're just busy but it's just little things that I notice that bother me. Anyway, enough stupid rant session, here are some things I'm working on.
-Some small novel/fanfic/background story of Ryhan and Daryl.
-Some drawings here and there
-moving
-ect. That's pretty much it really. I would like to draw more so if anyone is interested I'm open for some small commissions. Either sfw or nsfw just to keep me still drawing. Hope you all are good. Most likely people don't even give a shit so I'm mostly talking to myself. Oh well I guess. Stay classy
