I apologize for making this update so late especially since i said i would let yall know when i was closing/updating my commissions. but i wanted to start off by saying thank you to everyone who commissioned me!!! it means so much to me to see that people enjoy my art and are wiling to support me and what i do, even for the little things. so thank you so so much again to those of you who ordered a commission! some of you were so kind to pay me extra for a drawing and i cant tell you enough just how much that means to me. a million thank you's!!!

with my commissions... as of right now, yes, unfortunately they are closed for the moment. i will likely keep them closed for a while since ive been so busy doing other things and keeping my focus elsewhere, more on that later. i will keep my commissions closed for at least a month since im going to try and participate in art fight this year to help myself get back into the swing of drawing! I honestly haven't drawn in months and have been weary about it lately so this is my attempt to relearn how to create! if you are interested in seeing my stuff on af or maybe participating yourself, here's a link to my page if you'd like to check it out!

I changed my mind a little on my pokemon sketch commissions also... for a bit i was doing it to, again, kind of reintroduce myself to drawing, and as a way to practice with traditional media again since i mostly do digital anymore... but theyre actually really fun and people are really interested in them it looks like! i might make them a more permanent type of commission soon... that being said, i was initially going to up the price from 3 dollars to 5 dollars but realistically im underselling myself quite a bit... especially since most of the people who commissioned me paid much more to begin with! again... very very kind of them... instead of changing the price to 5 dollars i've decided to up them to 10... i do realize that i am essentially tripling my initial price but to be fair to myself and my time, i believe its the right thing to do. to make up for it though, i also decided to draw more than just pokemon! when i finally open up sketch commissions again, i will welcome other kinds of characters as well :) i will have more add on options as well such as adding color! again i will post an update on when i do decide to finally open up commissions again. thank you all for your patience and kindness and interest in what i do. it truly means a lot to me <3

i hope to soon upload more stuff here too... while i dont have a ton of new work to show you, i'll keep posting older stuff too just to get it out there as a lot of it i feel is still relevant to my interests, skill level, etc... being offline has been really helpful to me and taking the time to care for myself and my own well-being... im try to do it often and its essentially a long winded explanation of why i post sporadically and leave the site for long periods of time. dont worry! im doing just fine :) im touching so much grass... right now im actually in the process of moving locations... ive been in this process for a few months now and soon the actual moving part will take place... its my first time actually moving out and getting things set up for myself... so its been a long, hard, confusing, frustrating, scary... all kinds of things.... process! i feel as though this process is far from over too... im getting there! but man theres a lot to do... being an adult is hard... i wont get into all of it for your sake but man SO MUCH has happened over the past several weeks... months even... i honestly feel like a brand new person... in a good way though! thank you all again for your support, ive said it a lot but i truly do appreciate it <3 i'll try to keep yall updated on stuff!

for now... its 3 am... i have a dentist appointment in the morning... im gonna head out. see you soon!
