#I’ll also open my commissions in the near future

[transtundras-fr]

After two years…. Evander real!

THEY’RE FINALLY HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! After two years and nearly being lost, Fornara on flight rising sent me my beautiful finished tundra!!!!!

LOOK AT THE SOFTNESS!!!! The DETAILS!!!!! They also came with a locket and monocle per their onsite version :3

And they didn’t come alone!

Lil Spud was a welcome surprise! I currently don’t have an onsite dragon to rep them, but I’m working on it! (If anyone has a gloom/smoke primary and a pistachio/spruce/algae secondary with arcane/plague/shadow eyes……. HMU)

Overall, I am shocked by the beauty and quality of these dragons. They are stuffed firmly, with lots of stimmy textures, and I’ll be posting them a lot from here on out!

Fornara is not currently open for commissions, but in the near future will be doing a giveaway as they complete more prototypes!!! Please go give them some love on Flight Rising (they don’t have a tumblr).

NOTE TO STAFF: no real life currency was exchanged for this. I’m trading some artwork of my own for these cuties.

Writing this post to let folks know I’m (kinda) back from my short hiatus, but also to bring up a few important things. So I’m putting the rest under the cut.

While taking a break, almost abruptly, I had to clear my head for a bit because I was under a lot of stress and honestly if I didn’t step away when I did, I would’ve snapped.

I’m keeping anonymous off. For now. I’m really sorry to those who’s been using it for either their shyness or for keeping their main anonymous from their side blogs, and it’s not that I had an issue with those reasons in particular, I’m just fed up with the random/weird/rude anonymous asks in my inbox. In the future I might bring the anonymous feature back. We’ll see. I’m also considering switching dms in the near future as well to only people I follow can message me. So atm dms are still open to anyone, but it might be switched, so I’m giving a warning.

Right now, please don’t tag me in any posts related or bring up the Fin.ding Fra.nkie game, including my self ships with the two Fra.nkies. I need to step away from that fandom atm.

Lastly while I’m finishing up all my overdue commissions for folks, it might be a while until I post my own self ship art again. There’s a few different reasons as to why that I really don’t want to bring up because I don’t think it’ll help or change how past situations from certain fandoms and people had affected me. Not that I never had support from others, but I’m still hurt by a few things that I don’t think ignoring them can help anymore. Maybe I’ll be more active again once the holidays are over, but right now, I just feel numb about my own stuff. I’m still gonna try to interact with folks here, but I’ll most likely be more active on my aesthetic blog @lullachy or my original art blog @chycreations for the time being.

I don’t mean for this post about me returning to be negative, I want to be a positive influence here, I really do, because I know a lot of us use this site, or heck even self shipping, to escape from the stress of our everyday lives outside of the internet, but I’m just so tired.

Thank you for reading.

Drawing Hornet everyday until Silksong comes out - Day 200!!!

(huge thanks to this person for the art suggestion!! <3)

I genuinely can’t believe that I’ve made it to 200 days, it’s truly been wild how time flies by like that and the amount of doodles I’ve made during that time. Over 200 doodles (217 to be exact if we’re counting double pictures/extra doodles) have been made over the past 200 days. :0

And thank you all so much for the love and support! Not only have we reached 200 days but also 1400+ followers about a week ago! <3

But, having said that I’d like to make a few announcements—some good, some not so great—about a few things regarding the blog, myself, and other stuff.

Putting it all under the cut so the post isn’t long if you’d like to know more

______________________________

Announcements!

My pfp!

1.) I’ll be changing my pfp again!! I’ve officially decided that after every 100 days or so I’ll change up the pfp so it’s up to date with my doodle style (assuming it changed at all lol), but generally it’ll look relatively the same as the last!

Possibly more admins?

2.) As of right now I’m looking into the idea/possibility of having a second (maybe third?) person help me with daily doodles! As much as I’d like to keep doodling everyday there are some days that it can be tough or some situation might be happening. (i.e. recently got injured)

See, the problem is I don’t exactly have a proper way of trying this out??? My idea was to maybe do this through dms or more preferably Google Forms. I also don’t really know what form of communication afterward would be best either, suggestions to help me work this out would be great! (as you can tell I’m not very good at this stuff lol)

Commissions!

3.) After much consideration and a lot of thought, I’ve decided that in the near future, I’ll be opening commissions again for the first time in years. I don’t have everything set up quite yet, but expect more info in the near future!

About requests:

4.) You may have noticed recently that I haven’t been doing as many doodle requests recently. Sure, there’s usually quite a few in a row at once but you may have noticed I’ve also been doing “non-requested” doodles aka ones that I just do on my own.

Expect this to become a very normal thing going forward. I probably won’t be doing as many requests as before because frankly with the amount of requests I get daily when it’s open is a lot to handle sometimes. Does this mean requests will be stopped entirely? No, I’ll still do some occasionally, but not as much as I have in the past.

Also I’ll likely be doing strictly anonymous requests.

About Burnout:

5.) Alright let’s address the elephant in the room.

There have been quite a few instances where people have wondered if I would ever have burnout and have occasionally joked about “dying” from said burnout because “Silksong will never release, you’ll be doing this forever” etc etc.

In the past I’ve been fine, motivation has been great, but recently I’ve noticed it a little bit.

Unfortunately life has its own plans so it can be a little hard for me to make a doodle that day, expecially recently since I’ve been experiencing personal/medical issues. It’s part of the reason I’m hoping to get a second (maybe third) person to help me do daily doodles so I can take a little bit of the load off my shoulders.

So what does this mean for this blog?

Not much right now. But in the future, there may be some changes. My current plan is to keep going on daily doodles/posts for the length of a standard year, so roughly 365 days. After that, if things in personal life keep up the way they have, I may have to stop daily doodles and instead will post only if I have time. That likely means doodles every other day or every three days or something. At the very least I’ll still post a doodle once a week.

Not to worry though! I’ll still try my best even after I reach day 365 :)

I’ll discuss how things work a little more on my main @miizori later, but that’s as much as I can think to explain rn.

———————————————

Just a few more things I wanted to say!

This community has been so cool to interact with, so much tamer than some others I’ve been apart of in the past. I’m genuinely thankful for how much support and how nice everyone has been. I truly didn’t expect to get this far, I was fully expecting to have stopped like 10 doodles in lol. I especially love to see all your comments in the tags and people sharing their art. You’re all so cool :)))

I have a dtiys from back when I reached 300 followers that’s still available if you’re feeling up to it!

Also my main (again, @miizori) is where I make updates on doodle stuff, regular art stuff and so on if you’re interested at all in that lol

I think that’s all that I can remember wanting to say, so thanks!! I look forward to more doodles for you all :)

PLEASE DON’T SCROLL. MY FAMILY REALLY NEEDS HELP. SO PAY ME TO DRAW STUFF

I’ll try to keep this relatively short. My dad was hit in a near lethal car accident and is now almost completely paralyzed. He will no longer be able to work, will need to move to an accessible apt, and has a year of physical therapy ahead of him. 

We’re figuring this shit out day by day and are in the process of making long term plans to make sure he’s comfortable. We’re going to need all the financial help we can get. 

I’m doing digital and ink commissions, and commissions will be open for the foreseeable future. I won’t be able to fully start digital commissions until the 29th when I return to my apt where I left my tablet. I ask that anyone who commissions me be patient/have no strict short term time constraints. I’m really trying to not lose it and I promise you will get your art.

DM me to discuss commission details and please don’t take it personally if I’m short with pleasantries. I just need money and have been spending days in the ICU.

That’s it for now i think.

UPDATES/EDIT (June 23, 2023): i’ve made a p/ypal as well, p/ypal.me/cperplexa

(just make sure to NOT label it as a commissions/business transaction or paypal may freeze the money. Label it as personal and don’t put anything in the description that would make it look like a commission)

Also I am happy to accept donations through my accounts but I will eventually be posting a gofundme once we know more about our financial situation.

Thank you so much to everyone who has already donated and reached out for a commission. Drawing is a welcome distraction and I appreciate the kind messages.

(Updates, July 5th 2023) Gofundme is up

[luvhound]

between hospital bills surrounding various strokes from my roommate, a decrease in pay at my job, issues with our billing, and a landlord who has majorly majorly screwed us over. i am in desperate need of money in order to erm. continue to have a home 👍

I’ll make a more official/clean post about this later but I’m opening commissions for anyone interested. right now I’m thinking $10 for a lined/colored piece (full body) with an additional $5 for any additional character. im also thinking $5 for a more sketchy piece (like bottom right pic)

please keep in mind or dm if interested! but if that’s not a price you can drop right now literslly any dollar helps right now- so if you want to help out at all

my cashapp is alliepio

my venmo is shutupallison

thank you, and I’ll post something a little more concrete in the near future

Hey so I was asked about commissions being open I just wanted to say I would love to open them but I can’t at the moment since I just started my new job and I’m a little behind in math class. In one or two weeks I’ll hopefully open them up for those who were wondering. In the meantime I’ll be working on chapter 2 of Sailing Towards the Near Future also I’ll be posting it here on Ao3 when I have time including a link to the story.

[witchyangels]

I can’t believe this is finished… this piece has been a long time coming. I started a version of this in like 2018 before I got burned out on anything Dragon Age. Still loved it and still wanted to draw this piece. Ever since I got my iPad, I feel like I can draw everything. I also keep feeling like I’m not any good… it’s silly, I know.

Atrina is using the dagger, Fang, that had belonged to her late mother and Duncan’s sword. Alistair is using his late father’s, King Maric, sword (blue like in the book instead of yellow in the vanilla game) and Duncan’s shield. They’re fighting a Genlock and a Hurlock, respectively. Not counting any of the time I wasn’t able to work on this due to work, the theatre, my own moments of self doubt, and just life happening, this piece took about 29 hours to complete.

These my babies and I love them🥰💜 just look at them in their uniforms!! All covered in blood 😂

**I’ll be opening commissions again in the near future~

COMMISSION UPDATE + NOTES ABOUT THE FUTURE

Hello, everyone! This is just another commission update Journal. As usual, people keep asking me if I’m open for comms, or when I will be, and now that I’ve completed another round, I want to keep everyone posted. This will be split into a “Short Answer” and a “Long Answer” section (the latter coming after the “Keep Reading” line). Read as much as you care to. HERE IS THE SHORT ANSWER: I haven’t got even the START of an idea of when I will publicly reopen. I also have decided to stop accepting requests to place on the Waiting List. (I will get to why that is in a bit, if you want to keep reading into the “long answer” section.) I am going to work on finishing a trade, and writing two special stories, before I jump into the next round. The people who are on the next round will be contacted in the near future. They are as follows…

@trashytummies

Buffalo20 (FA)

Grimsaurus (FA)

ph0220 (FA)

@clouddreamer101

If any of the five above drop out, then someone from the Waiting List will be rotated into place. I may give the names of the people on the Waiting List in the future, but not here and now (for no other reason than this post is going to be long enough). If you want more details on things, you may continue reading into the next section. Otherwise, you may leave now. I know business matters can be dry. :-p

HERE IS THE LONG ANSWER: For the past several years, I have been fighting increasingly severe backlog, combined with an increasing demand, with tons of people coming to me for stories and not having enough time to finish everything, due to a combination of various elements I won’t get into here. (Again, this journal is going to be long enough as it is.) As the current situation stands, there is no way I am going to be able to complete the next round of commissions, plus everyone on the waiting list, PLUS other obligations and pieces of writing before the year is out. It’s just not going to happen; even if by some miracle I DO complete everything there before 2025, I am going to be SEVERELY worn out when it’s all over. So, what does this mean? It means that a lot of people on the waiting list will need to wait till next year to get their stories done. It also means that, at the moment, I sincerely haven’t got an idea when I’ll reopen, and anybody who asks is going to get that answer: there’s just no way I can predict it at the present time. That’s going to depend on a lot of factors, most of which are not within my power to control, frankly. If you want to know what those factors are, ask me in private; I am not boring everybody with my personal life issues here.

It ALSO means that, WHEN I DO REOPEN, once again I’m going to make changes. I really, REALLY don’t want to, but I just kind of have to. This time, however, the motivation behind it is going to be different: if this year’s severe backlogging, combined with the disastrous attempts of the past two or three years, have taught me anything, it’s that I physically cannot fight the fact backlog is going to happen. It’s just not going to be possible. With everything else that is going on in the present, has gone on in the past, and is most assuredly going to happen in the future…there is simply no way I can fight it. SO…instead of FIGHTING the backlog, I’m going to ACCEPT it, and I’m going to try and figure out a way to manage my commissions that will allow me to manage things with the full expectation it’s going to happen. I may also start looking into other ways to gain funding; I have considered perhaps opening a Patreon account (more on that later), or seeking other avenues of revenue in general. Rest assured, however: at the present moment, I have no intention of stopping commission work. It’s just a matter of how to do it better, so that I don’t have tons and tons of people waiting months upon months for stories to get done. However, I won’t be able to figure all that out till AFTER I get through everything already on my plate. Having said that…as I said, I will be releasing all the names on the Waiting List in the future. If you see your name there, when I do, and you no longer want a story for any reason - such as the long wait, or financial situations changing - then you are welcome to remove your slot. If I’ve guaranteed one to you in private, and you already know this, you are welcome to contact me privately, in turn.

I think I’ve said all I can say, or feel comfortable saying (a bit of both), for now. I know this whole mess is a colossal pain in the rear end. I know it makes a lot of people anxious or frustrated, and I know that it probably has made a lot of people cross with me. Believe me when I say, I am as agitated as the rest of you, as well as, frankly, a little depressed. If I seem a bit short when answering messages related to commissions, as a result, I apologize in advance. I’m just trying my best here, people; I’m only one man, and with a lot on his plate. I’m sure others are the same, so I ask you to continue to be patient and know that I am working my hardest to manage things and get the job done. I want to thank everybody here for your patience and for your continued support. Also, if you’ve made it all the way to the end of this journal, thank you for your support. Bless you all.

CloverCoin Artpack 2024 March + Updates

[PATREON POST + ART PACK] Hey everyone... I see March is rounding the corner to being over and I realized I never actually make an official patreon post yet. A lot has been happening on our end / IRL. We recently found our we might need to move this summer... But thanks to a lot of back and forth between us and the new landlord we got a lease extension for 1 year to prepare our savings and safely move out to another place in town or around this town we are currently living in. After a lot of discussion between my husband and I, we're really struggling to find rental single family homes that fit our disability needs AND budget. Rent bubble in our area is about 70% more than our current rent which... is mind blowing. But we are determined! With further discussion we think we agree, we'd like to buy a house to make sure our needs are met and that we can take care of our senior dogs without having our lives uprooted without notice. So our belts are going to be really tight over the next year while we try to scrimp and save every penny to go towards our goal to purchase a house next year. That is scary but also so exciting! Wish us luck, we're going to need every lick of it to pull this off. ~~~ Other worse news... The reason why I've been struggling these past few weeks. My family has been reaching out to me and it's official. My mother has a terminal cancer diagnosis. I do not live near her, so I would like to budget a trip out to see her at some point this summer. We don't have any real time lines yet until we see how to reacts to chemo treatment. She's just started that this month. So that's been a weird tangle of emotions and talking with my siblings about what we expect out of all this. How we each can help in what ways we can. One of my older sisters is taking control of talking with the doctors and updating us since my mother is extremely avoidant about talking about her illnesses. At this time I won't be taking any time off from working and doing adopts/commissions. We need the money more than ever, even just to go fly or drive up to see her. But I will update on patreon/discord when I'm taking a week or so off to visit her. ~~~ More middling news? Our two senior dogs, Ollie and Junior, have been having little health scares this year. Feels like 2024 just started and so much has happened! Ollie has been diagnosed with a heart murmur and is on medication now to help treat it. Diet and life style changes as well to help him stay fit. Junior may have had a small seizure or stroke, for 2 days he was not able to stand or walk which really scared us. Both have been to the vet multiple times this year and are being watched VERY closely. I just hope nothing happens to them before we find them a new house to live in. (knocks on wood) ~~~ I myself am having some medical issues but... Just with everything going on I just haven't had time to assign myself with a new clinic and new gp. My new health insurance won't let me see the old one anymore and it's EXTREMELY disruptive to my whole life. So there's a chance my body might get a flat tire in the future, but I'll try to manage it accordingly. To end it all on a good note, I did finally finish my very last tooth filling / replacement and after a year and a half of constant dentist visits, my mouth is all fixed! Hooray!!!! Now we just have to tackle my jaw and TMJ problems haha. ~~~ I think... that's the big items of what's going on. Why I've been really absent online and for updates. Life just kinda had a weird downpour on us, but we're sorting it out. We signed a new lease. Prov is working very hard at his new job. The future is really scary for me right now and I'm really struggling. Please be patient with me while we go through these big life changes at this time. I'll be opening up new commission slots soon to start a monthly income to help with house savings. If anyone has pending commissions with me or trades, please never hesitate to DM me/poke me for updates. I've been a lot more disorganized more than usual lately and I am happy to give any updates or refunds as needed should anything come up that I can't handle. Sorry bout the long read everyone, but thank you so much for skimming through and keeping up with what's going on in my life. I've been desperately missing art more and more every day I spend away from it, so I look forward to sharing even more art with you all! Thank yo everyone for all your support! AJD . ART

Warning for : tca, eating disorder, depression

this is just a block of babbling

Today i chopped lots of veggies to freeze and cook later ! I’m exhausted rn but so happy ^^ ! I had a bit of extra money this month thanks to my employer being scared of gov retribution and finally giving us our yearly bonus ^^ so i went out several times this week to buy lots of food !!! Yesterday was such a nice day i went downtown with my cart and walked for three hours from one shop to the other then back home to get special imported groceries i can’t find near me. I’m planning on doing some meal prep again ! wow ... haven’t doing that in a long while ! I used to do that a lot in uni (back then i was unemployed and i got so extra careful with groceries when i started living in dorms which lasted for humm ?? 4 years ??) and especially when i was living in japan. I was EXTRA super poor back then so i had all these pre-portioned stuff i had cooked myself in the freezer (thank goodness i had a freezer in my dorm room °_°) and thanks to that i could get a meal a day. But i was also eating the same chicken/kimchi/veggies/shirataki/rice meal everyday. I got so tiiiired of the prepping and eating the same thing when i came home, i couldn’t do that anymore ! It’s been four-five years and i’m still feeling sick from the “idea” of being limited in what i can eat.

I got sick twice this month and i totally know it’s because my body’s weak from overworking myself with work/shop/work/commission/event, lack of sleep and not eating well enough. Well ! can’t go back in time ! This weekend i went to work feeling so bad and everybody could see how pathetic i was haha but they were all nice so it’s ok! glad i didn’t miss (*is poor*). Anyways, twice is too much u_u *big sigh* so i’ll be more careful in the future ! Can’t say i’ll eat well everyday but next shop opening or something, i’ll be sure to plan nutritious stuff in advance !

Because the problem here is mainly that i don’t wanna cook nor plan groceries :/ . Oh i still have an appetite, i don’t think i can get rid of it LOL it’s in my genes at this point to love food and love eating ! i just don’t feel like doing it anymore and i have a very convenient supermarket right round the corner of my street so °_° .. just picking what i feel like eating when i do even if it’s not a proper meal ! I’ve had a sandwich phase recently, i ate so many of the pre-made disgusting sandwiches TOT !!!!!!!! i don’t like ready-made stuff but boy was i eating these sandwiches !!! so convenient, didn’t take me any time ! I’ve grown tired of them thank goodness ...

I talked with a friend and coworker who’s pretty much going through the same and it’s nice to have someone else near who you can mention it to bc it can easily put you in a tight spot, ppl (and i include myself) are often quick to worry and thus chastise you for bad “habits”. I know it’s out of love but it’s tiring nonetheless. It’s nice to have someone understand it’s not a habit and that whatever you’re eating it’s ok, as long as you’re eating !!!!! That’s the 1st step and it’s great !

Something else is that i eat very differently from what i used to ! i still eat meat and fish but only cook fish from time to time. I only eat meat if i eat from a restaurant (or if i buy disgusting triangle sandwiches 🙄), i don’t wanna cook it anymore. Trying to stop eating it completely but i know it takes time and i do have a “weak” body. So all that to say that everything i’m used to cook (and i used to looove cooking for myself) well .. is kinda out of the party now huh... it’s not hard to make the same dishes without the meat though, but sometimes i’m really like :I ok .. something’s amiss but i don’t have like.. tofu in the fridge. ALSO i’m a lazy person ;9 and i don’t like inconveniences

also food is hella expensive.... bro..... the corpos... they’re out of control.......... the price of things in the stores .. °_° bro.. u ok ??? they really said “then, starve”

Also wanna mention i’m only able to think about this and actually putting in the work in gathering ingredients etc bc i’m not doing anything else. Like, this is the moment, it’s now or never ! I’m in a slow period with work so i’m just .. well doing nothing (RESTING!!!!) which allows me to actually try to cook ! Also mentioning that i’ve still been eating random stuff during that last few days of hunting and gathering HAHAHA (bread...bo-bun from the shop, apples, bananas, bro i can’t even remember what i ate on monday and tuesday ?????) so .. prepping’s great but let’s see if i actually take stuff out of the freezer and heat them ;9

une affaire... à suivre 😎

[ficklecat]

early mornin rambles

Ended up calling out of work today to rest even though I could probably push through. HR lady mentioned accommodation paperwork last week to me as an option. Didn’t think I needed it but I might do. Idk. Hard to tell what’s my illness and what’s the overwhelming reluctance to continue participating in this capitalist façade. 🙃

ANYWHO if I’m up for it I’ll probably be working on the rest of my feral!kks work (momentum died fast on that one but I wanna round it out). I always say this but after kkg Halloween I am considering a brief fic hiatus. No reason other than to take a short break so as not to burn out. I may also open info in the near future for fic commissions through my Kofi (it’s pretty barren rn) so if you have requests or things you wish I’d write hang onto em. :)

I knew that I woke up on the right side of ta bed this morning! Hell yeah! So I’ll be answering ta following to questions ta best I can with out being bitched out by ta rest of the team for leaking out anything too spoiler-ly.

Q: What could you tell us about this story you guys are writing beyond just the basic description?

A: *Well this story we wanted to go abit further into makin an cohesive narrative with an overarching plot line involving an certain son of an puppet inventor who was taken before his time sadly. We wanted to really explore Lies of P’s version of this specific character while also giving out a little something for the fans who fully embraced the world of Lies of P and it’s characters. So by combining ta reader/self-insert style popular on Tumblr with an original story set in this world, we made an story with a-plenty of twists and turns. We hope you all enjoy ta ride too!*

Q: What kind of themes or warnings should we expect from this original project?

A: * Oh boy! Well, ta only things I could say without gettin into trouble is that we wanted to pay homage to ta grim aesthetic in Lies of P. So, yeah, this story will go to some really uncomfortable and dark subject matter as we progress further in. However, when there is darkness, there is also light. There would be plenty of fluffy and wholesome moments as well.*

Q: Would you guys be posting art?

A: *For sure cuz! We will be slowly posting original art and storyboard content throughout ta upcoming and official release in between chapters.*

Q: Will you guys be also posting other stuff on this blog other than this project?

A:*As of right now this blog, will be ta only place where official announcements for upcoming chapters, updates, art, and etc will be posted. That might change in ta future for maybe a secondary blog solely for fanart or just storyboard content but only time will tell in the future. Any other content not affiliated with Lies of P could also be linked to another blog sometime in the future.*

Q: Ok, but how dark are we talking here for the story?

A: *Well, without gettin into too much spoilers there will be uncomfortable subject matter in regards to femininity tying into gender dysphoria as just one example that could maybe present itself in the story. We at ta the team here in ta workshop have done our research into many heavy subject matters that are only relevant to ta story we are trying to tell. We are doing our best to make sure that our dark subject matter is done fully in service to the story and not dark for ta sake of dark. And that includes presenting said subject matter in a tasteful and appropriate manner.*

Q: Will you guys be opening commissions in the near future?

A: *As of now, we have no plans to open commissions up in the near future. This is a fan project started by ta fans for ta fans after all. Our team just wants to focus on providing a cool experience for ta fandom and even newcomers looking in to enjoy.*

*And that all for tonight folks! “Rishiv” is now signing off and gettin in some shut eye before my next assigned shift tomorrow night on guard duty. We will be hosting some Q and A sessions in the near future since this one is designed to just get some more of the common questions answered. Good night and keep on lyin out there everyone!*

Regarding The Future Of Walk With Me And More! (Please read!)

I’ve been trying to ensure that this post is as easy to follow and understand as possible. Hopefully it’s not too long. I realize that not everyone will see it and I’ll probably get some comments asking what’s happened to Walk With Me. So I am going to try to explain what’s going on here. In addition I have some other things to say. So please read the whole thing. To get to the point. I’m going to be making some changes coming up. Changes that are looooong overdo. Please understand that running three comics, commissions, art, animations and more is very challenging and time consuming. Especially when I have constant real world distractions that pull me away from my work. Just to be clear. I am NOT stopping any of my comics. I am however changing how I do one of them. Denatured and Comic-Comic will continue on their regular update schedule as usual. Denatured post every other Monday, alternating weeks with Comic-Comic which is every other Wednesday. This is just as they’ve always been. Now as far as Walk With Me goes, I have one final page to complete for Chapter three, which will post to my Patreon in a little over a week, then to the public a month later as always. Once I am completed with Chapter 3, Walk With Me will no longer be on a regular update schedule of every two weeks. From now on I will be working on WWM in my spare time and will continue posting the completed pages as they are finished to my Patreon and Subscribestar. Once the next chapter is fully completed, I will then post all of it to the public in rapid succession. So again, just to be clear, you will still get to see it. It’s just that it will take some time before the next chapter is completed. If you want to see each page as they are completed, you can subscribe to my Patreon or Subsribestar and get early access as has always been the case with WWM. Why am I doing this? First: There are multiple reasons. To start. I’m tired. You may have noticed some comics have been posting later than usual. This is because I recently made the decision to never again stay up past midnight into the early hours of the morning, just because there’s a comic do the next day. It wrecked my health and I was doing it for pretty much no reason since very few people even cared. A mistake I will not be making again. My health is too important. Second: the quality of my comics has suffered greatly. I’ve reached a point where almost every time I have a comic do, I have to rush through the entire thing. It’s resulted in really crappy drawings that has not helped my comics to grow in the long run. Doing this will allow me to focus on one comic per week and I will be able to work on WWM at a slower pace where I will no longer have to rush to meet a deadline. This will improve the quality of all three of my comics. Third: By taking Walk With Me off a consistent schedule, I will now have much more time to animate. I’ve been wanting to do regular animation for a good while, but have never found a consistent enough schedule. So you can look forward to all of characters being brought to life more often now that I can. In addition, this will also help me to dedicate more time to Patreon and Subscribestar centered content. You may have seen my post that I did announcing the Faye’s Diary tier benefit. If you haven’t you can check that out in the link below. This is just one of the things I’ll be able to do now that I have more time. I’m planning on doing more content for Patrons in the near future. https://www.patreon.com/posts/intro.....tent=join_link Fourth: Finally, this will help me to be able to work on Commissions in a more timely manor. I have people who have been very patiently waiting for me to finish their drawings or to open back up. Unfortunately, I have had zero time to work on them do to unnecessary comic deadlines. Thank you all for you patience. I promise to get these completed and to you soon. A Favor: I’m not going to lie. I’ve been discouraged as of late. I put in so much work and effort only to get little to nothing in return. That’s not to say that I do what I do for monetary gain or popularity. Even if I could, that’s obviously not true. But please understand it’s become incredibly difficult to do what I do when I don’t even see any growth. Now I’m about to ask you to do something that I have never in a million years asked anyone for. Mainly because I never wanted to become one of “those” kinds of people that routinely complain or beg for things online. There’s a lot that happens in my life that you don’t know about because I’m not the kind of person to share it with you. Mostly because I don’t want to annoy any of my viewers with details that they probably don’t care about. I’ve become increasingly frustrated with the fact that no matter how hard I try, no matter how much work, effort, blood, sweat and tears, I put into this. I grow at a painfully slow rate, or I don’t seem to grow at all. It’s like every algorithm in existence is against me. I’m not saying I’m the best artist in the world. I’m not. It’s probably just because I suck at everything, but when people who draw literal stick figures, shit post, and crappy hard core pornography acquire mass followings of thousands of viewers, you can image, this is very disheartening and demotivating. I know my art sucks, but I’m asking you my friends and loyal viewers. Help me to grow. Share my stuff. It might look like I have a large following to some of you, but I don’t. I haven’t really grown anywhere aside from DA and a little bit on FA. Everywhere else is near impossible to develop a following. If you could help me out on these sites and social media that would be great. I’m not asking you to donate money or anything like that. (Although becoming a patron would be nice.) I’m just asking you to help me to get my stuff and existence out there. You can find all my social media links Aside from FA and Weasel on my website. https://www.sabercolliestudios.com Again, I wouldn’t be saying this if I didn’t feel I needed to. I could really use your help. I understand this is a problem most people face in the online world. Even so, I would appreciate your help. Light Lux Collie

why hello there again darlings, it’s ya boi once again with another commissions post. 

so here’s the sitch: because rent in colorado is SO fucking expensive and i have bills and such to pay, i have about $800 to my name atm. while i’m looking to pick up some overtime at work and even doing some more drag shows in the near future, i’d like to make sure i’ll be able to eat and feed the cat. fortunately, my grandma is offering to fix my computer (YAY), so i’ll be able to do digital commissions once again. i’m hoping to get my computer battery fixed on or before August 26, so if you’d like to commission me for a digital piece, i’ll send you a traditional sketchy draft sometime before the 26th.

here’s some recycled info from one of my previous comms posts: 

here is my art tag, and here is my p*ypal. if you prefer v*nmo, please message me for my username.

pricing and rules:

prices will continue to depend on time and medium, but expect the base price for most pieces to be around $115. as always, i am willing to negotiate pricing so long as it’s reasonable

i will only start a piece after i have confirmed payment through p*ypal or v*nmo. please tell me the best email to use for invoicing and i will send you an invoice (through p*ypal) with the price we discuss

although they aren’t included in the examples above, i am also taking commissions for D&D miniatures. my goal is to buy a light box for photography so i can better advertise them. the base price for a standard 28mm mini is $50. if you’re interested, please message me for details

additional info:

stuff I’ll draw: Oc’s (references/descriptions please!) D&D characters (same as above!) Mild blood LGBTQ+ stuff Furry stuff

stuff I won’t draw: R-18 Gore/excessive violence Mechs (i have no patience for it) P*dophilia. Fuck off with that

COMMISSION SLOTS:

Taken!
