AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Lot to go over, the worlds on fire, I don't even have time for an intro lol Gonna try and condense this as best I can for Patreon, but if you want more in depth deets for stuff, I have this all in the Discord.
Key Points:
criminally small dump! mostly sfw background work
dealing with a lotta bs personally
commission opening soon, need to make money asap
art block rn- mixed medley poll suggestions are open
Life Updates:
FINALLY set up my PC! The meme is over lmao It was partially why this dump got delayed as long as it did, I knew the transition period was gonna be weird. It's been amazing having a not-dying computer to work on and that's putting it extremely lightly.
Had a really weird tooth arc. REALLY bad tooth ache, went in to get it looked at and was told it was my wisdom tooth- hit up the dentist and they charged me a buttload of money for the removals only for it not to be wisdom teeth!! Dentist opted not to pull em, so I had to dispute the front desk and got my money back. Unfortunately I still spent like $500 on all the scans they needed for diagnosing it :pensive:
I got accepted into AX! But because of the tooth stuff going on at the time I had no funds to responsibly invest in the table 🙃 I'm super bummed about it cuz I did get accepted and that would have been GOOD money, but the timing was dogshit. I can only hope I get in next year and am in a better financial spot.My Fridge is busted! I'm currently back n forth between my neighbors apartment and my own while I find someone to fix it. My landlady said she could get me a new fridge, but because I was big ballin' when I moved here and bought a jumbo fridge outta pocket seperate from the renovation budget, the fridge she would be covering would be smaller/a downgrade. This would be fine if not for me reeeeallly getting attached to the current one I have. I stuff this bitch to the brim as is, I can't imagine having a smaller one(also it'd just be ill fitted from my apartment and leave an awkward amount of space on the corners) Determined to get it repaired but that'll probably be a lot so I'm gonna need some help. Worst case scenario, I gotta get a new one.
Art Updates:
Art block! Kinda. Idk, I don't really get it in the conventional way. Been chipping away at a lot of bigger projects piece by piece offline for the last 2 months- stuff that doesn't really come to fruition until it's actually done. Lot of practicing the craft and studying other mediums like polishing my animation skills. But in terms of short term stuff, I haven't really been feeling inspired. Been enjoying all the cool oc world building stuff I've been doing and wanted to focus on a lot more fully rendered background works this time around- but in terms of the short term smutty stuff, there's nothing I can really cook up atm. Gonna need you guyes help on this.
Poll Inbound! I need ideas on what next I draw and its been a min since I did a decent set. Rev up #a-sweet-deal and toss me what you'd like to see. Anythings on the table. Even stuff I've done in the past or an oc of another artists. I think I just need some direction. The suggestions with the most :star: 's by Wednesday will go up on the poll. Feel free to start suggesting now!
Tokens Tokens Tokens! Anyone who has tokens and is being a punk about em, redeem them shits, cuz as I've already stated, I ain't got shit else to draw rn lol
Commissions!! Nigga I'm so fucking poor rn 😭 I need to cover tax stuff and a fuckin' fridge. Thought I was gonna be out of money hell but timing maaaan. No big Comm Stream stuff like I usually do but I will be open for pretty much most the year.
Here's the form if you can help out: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfhcw6Ayjh3KF2cM94OCABhPwX1SGGyQswCIphVxFBksZVc_g/viewform?usp=publish-editor
Misc Updates:
Shop(s) Delayed cuz of course they are. I said the ACG shop was gonna be up in Feb but my dumbass forgot chinese new year was a thing lmao I need to sample the stuff personally before listing them and the factories were just not running around that time. Where I am money wise rn, gonna be a min before I can do some samples, but as you can see from this batch, there's a lotta DR/UT stuff planned. I also been having HELL building a website. Like an actual website. It's slow af but hopefully I can have a page that I can neatly display artworks for portfolio reasons.
Murasaki Plush Delay, gomen! He should have been up by now, but I've been revising the fuck out the design so he looks juuust right. I'm on my second revision and I'm hoping that the 3rd time will be the charm. He didn't look horrible on the first or second draft, but I just want him to be perfect for when he gets in everyones hands. Two weeks was the last time frame I got, so lets see!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
God this is still long lmao A lots been going on!! I thought things were on the up but life likes to humble the fuck out you. Holding my head up high that things will get better. Imma figure this shit out. To anyone reading this who's also in a funky situation, praying for yall too 🙏We got this, don't throw in the towel yet.
