Just posting it again to say that I'm more active on Twitter and usually post stuff late on DA if not at all!! So if you have a twitter account, I suggest following me there too (but I will always post some of my art to DA especially since Twitter is kind of crap for artists. I still love my DA audience).

I forgot if I mentioned here or not but my fiancé got in to a motorcycle accident with his arm so here's an update on that. The mood has been lackluster since he still has pain and the insurance company doesn't want to pay the 20K bill for his surgery. Says it's his motorcycle insurance's job to pay so he needs to contact them. No rush on that since he doesn't have to pay until his arm is healed. His medical leave time ran out so we talked to the doctor to get it renewed and we need to wait a week to see what the insurance company says. HOWEVER that means he needs to go back to work but when he did, they sent him back home. Said he's not allowed to come in injured but he can't get paid without work or the medical leave... He has 2 weeks of vacation/sick time (his work actually stole all of it btw even though they're only suppose to take 20% of it while on leave) so we will wait and see if we can get the insurance company to renew the leave by then or maybe his other workers can donate some of their vacation time. His workplace has fired people for less. Someone got blinded in one eye off work and they fired him after the his leave ended. My fiancé was talking with his boss and literally said that if they fire him, he will whistleblow all the shit they've done and not care what other work places will think of him after. Or sue them at least (they were sued before for stealing vacation/sick time). His boss was all for it lol. His boss also told him to his face that his higher ups wanted to fire him. He's trying to make a compromise with them but idk he can't really do much. So yeah, the mood is not good. Also the mortgage company just told him he didn't pay last month even though he did. They changed companies but the letter he got said any next payments will be automatically sent to the new company for the next two months. HUH WHERE IS IT? WHERE DID THE HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS GO??? He paid this month just fine with the new people. Another thing to figure out ah.


Physical therapy started!! It seems to be helping idk. He has a lot of scar tissue built up in his arm that needs to break loose. $75 a week and that's with insurance... But it's not forever at least.


I got my fiance Kirby and the Forgotten Land and a plushie for his B-Day :)It's funny, we were talking about the Kirby bosses and said they should make a remake on the switch for one the games and THEY DID. They literally just announced a remake LMAO

I'm Not Dead!

Again another hiatus has befallen my social media and it is my fault. I've still been unmotivated and my depression only kept increasing. I thought I was done, that I could go back on track but I just fell back down. I abandoned my social media, my patreon, and stopped looking at my messages. Everyday I kept saying to myself that I would go back on and start interacting again but it never happened. I would get paranoid to how people would react or get negative thoughts about myself. Like believing my art wasn't worth anything or I wasn't worth anything. And it is my fault for not coming back sooner. I don't want to go more into it because it's just repeat thoughts what I wrote last time or whatever other times I've wrote with similar aspects.


But I'm getting motivated again. I'm gonna post comics again and sketches and commissions. I'm gonna message commissioners and show them updates of what I've done so far (yes I've still been working). I used to get stressed on what "Daily Art" I was gonna make and feel bad for not uploading it but I've decided that I'm only going to post the comics and only do that maybe once a week or whenever I feel like it. I only started the series because I DIDN'T have commissions or art to draw and I wanted to improve my skills. Now I have commissions and projects and a Patreon and constantly drawing everyday. So only so often I'll post that stuff. I'll still make fanart but whenever I feel like it. I also wanna draw my own characters more and I kind of had a funny comic layout I wanted to do with two of my characters when one asks the other what's on their mind and the other replies with something super nonsensical or a really obscure fact and the first character has to just shrug it off or react. And that will just be a funny thing to show my character's personalities and give some dumb thoughts. I plan on using those characters a lot more for stuff which is why I wanted to do the comic. Just lots of ideas popping through my head, bouncing around like a DVD player screensaver.


Anyway, in short I have stuff to upload and I'm going to be more active. Not try, will. I will also open commissions soon. I've increased my prices and changed the layout to parts of my site to look more straightforward (it's a lot cleaner). Another also, I wanna open rude Valentine's cards and dating sim YCHs for Valentine's day as well as an animated version. Does any of that sound appealing?

Update about the cuts and dryness that has been plaguing my skin for the past month. I couldn't go to a dermatologist because most of the doctors around here need some sort of heath insurance and my fiancé's mom did not want to drive all the way to our new house. No problem though, I was able to go to an emergency clinic nearby.


They looked at me and told me exactly what I needed to fix myself! I think living in the old house for a year REALLY messed up my body's way of protecting against allergies. I forgot the terms the doctor used but my body is basically producing too many things to counter against the stuff I'm allergic to and is causing my skin to flare. I guess it's still flaring because I've still been cleaning mold and dust off of stuff and haven't been treating my skin with the right treatments. I'm going to get the medication today and hope that it will start clearing up by the end of the month.


I'm happy! I know now that it is allergies and it can be dealt with. I was getting really distressed and depressed because of all the dryness and pain. I can't even make breakfast without my hands stiffing from dryness. I should have just gone to a doctor in the first place. I'm just so uncomfortable with my doctor that I didn't think it would be different with another. I'm not used to friendly greetings or eye contact. Plus my doctor gave my dad permanent stomach damage...


Anyway, I'm getting back on track and working on a ton of stuff! I hope I can get back into daily art next month. For now I will focus on finishing commissions and working on comic sketches~

Internet is set up, all the boxes are been cleared (besides some heavy ones that we need help with from friends) and the cats are adjusted nicely! The move was a success and we're getting used to everything. There's a lot of cool places around here to check out too but we're not gonna explore much since Covid is still active (we've only gone to the grocery store and the Farmer's Market once so far).


I'm going to get back to commission work and finish what I have in my queue. I also have to catch up on my Patreon art. What I'm working towards is getting a schedule up and maybe even get back to daily art! I'll have to organize some sketches beforehand. It's nice living in a modern house. So much nicer than my parent's house or my fiance's old house.


Also, I mentioned awhile ago that I had some extremely dry skin and it got better at one point but now it is worse. I'm hoping to get some more creams since I'm running out again (1 tub usually lasts a month or less). I wish all these creams weren't like $30+... and I can't just get moisturizer either. The cuts I have burn with most creams so I need to find something that has medical ingredients. I'm trying "wet wrapping" now (wearing wet cloth gloves on top of cream) but my skin still dries out. Sorry, just wanted to rant about my discomfort.


Thank you all who have been patient with art, especially my commissioners!! I'll will get progress updates to you guys soon!

Hey again! If anyone has seen my Twitter, I posted an update saying my fiance and me might actually be moving this weekend. it's confirmed, we are getting out of here (finally)! A family member of his mom's if giving some free chairs and a couch (they're getting new ones) and his mom is renting a U-Haul for that. She said we might as well move everything from the old house and his rented storage shed to the new house so we're going to be BUSY that weekend.


Also, the internet is not set up yet at the house so if we can't get a appointment by Sunday, I'm letting you folk know I won't be able to update on commissions or messages until it is set up. We have mobile data so that will be the only internet we have for the time being.


So to retaliate, please don't get upset at me if I can't answer any messages after the weekend!! I will be busy this week but I will still be working on commissions before and after the move. I'm very excited!!


Anyway, in terms of other updates, I've changed my website and commission forms slightly. Few price changes with sketches, toonies and stickers but otherwise everything is the same. I've also made new examples for CartoonyVS.Semi-real art style and backgrounds! I'm also thinking of opening Bojack Horseman icons soon because I feel like it.


---------------------------------------------------------------------


I'm opening commissions again! If you'd like one, check out MY WEBSITE for the prices and T.O.S. 5 Slots open!


I've also got mini commissions! Telegram stickers, icons and Toonies have moved there if you can't find them. Also available are simple sketches and chibi doodles. These are usually open. More info HERE.


If you wanna see my queue or progress on your commission, check out my TRELLO.
