Ive gotten concerned messages and comments. It’s time i addressed this.

This post has been a long time coming and I want to express it with the sincerity and clarity it deserves. After much thought and reflection, I’ve decided to officially close my art commissions and step away from my role as a furry/anime artist.

Balancing my art with my second job has become increasingly difficult, and the reality is…art commissions simply don’t pay enough for the time, energy, and effort they demand. I’ve reached a point where I have to prioritize my livelihood and long-term goals, and unfortunately…that means letting go of something I’ve loved doing for many, many years.

To be clear:
- I’m closing all art commissions, including YCHs, effective immediately.

- I will still complete the final few pieces in my current queue…those will be honored and finished with the quality and care they deserve. I’m not going to be lazy with them.

- I will not be selling my characters. They are still deeply personal to me, and I’m keeping them close.

- My account will remain up. I won’t be deleting anything and you’re welcome to continue enjoying the work I’ve shared over the years.

- There may be a time in the future where I reopen, but it won’t be anytime soon. For now, I need the space to focus fully on where my path is leading.

To everyone who supported me…thank you. Truly. For over five years, I’ve been blessed with kind clients, encouraging messages, and a community that believed in me. Whether you commissioned me once, shared my work, or simply left a kind comment…your support meant the world.

This isn’t a farewell forever, just a turning of the page. I hope you’ll continue to support me in my next chapter, even if it looks a little different than before.

With gratitude and love,
Kye (Duko)
