Very recently in my life, I was laid off from my job. Almost six years as a shipbuilder, come to an end. But where one door closes, another opens, and I've decided to swing into art full-time. As such, I'll be leaving my commission form open for longer into the month, as well as likely look to revive my Ko-Fi/Patreon for additional means of financial support.

It's also highly likely that I will raise my commission prices in December to help meet the cost of living. But for November, I will continue to honor the current commission price of $80 USD.

I'll also post here, for sake of availability, my November commission form, should anyone reading this decide to try for one: https://forms.gle/7NBuSAQxKFgiLyfQ8

Now that FA has returned from its sudden down time, I can finally post this journal.

I created a Bluesky account roughly a month ago. I know I'm not one to really stick by social media sites and I'll admit now that it's uncertain if this account will suffer the same fate as the few before it. Still, while it is up, I'll attempt to keep it fairly up-to-date with all of my latest uploads, with some images being posted a bit earlier there than here on FA since I prefer to bulk upload on this site.

Alongside that, I'll make use of Bluesky as a means to tease image wips, share scrapped doodles, or otherwise that I wouldn't normally post here on FA. I'll also post onto the site any alt versions of images that I feel changes too little or feels too tedious to warrant uploading onto FA, since it's considerably easier to do such through Bluesky.
