I'm alive and fine... mostly. Posted 1 year ago
Sooooo yeah its been a bit since I gave a proper update here.
I'm so fucking tired my dudes. This last month has been draining in a lot of ways, but mostly I've just been getting fucked up by the weather shifts a lot and some minor health issues that are popping up that I will get tended to come the 23rd. its killed a lot of my motivation and focus over the last month and I'm doing my best to try and claw my energy back.

Commission wise, I've been pecking away at the backlog I've got. Honestly I've been debating increasing some of my prices again. Primarely increasing my Flats & Shaded prices because they take so much more of my time to do now that I'm doing things like line weight and trying to improve my artwork more and more. If I do, it'll probably just be a...

May Day! May Day! I've got your monthly update! Posted 2 years ago
Ok first off there's nothing wrong, fear not. Its just May tomorrow and I'm a dork soooo~ <3

As some of you may be aware, I've got the YCH special running still. I'm going to let this run til the end of May and then once May ends it'll be over. Overall, the YCH's reception has been absolutely amazing, and I will DEFINITELY be doing more of them in this style in the future. The idea of having you all have the option of a Pred Slot & a Prey slot and not have to auction for it feels real fucking good, and I'm thankful for everyone who's ordered from me about it. Currently I've got 4 more to do, but that might change as we reach the end of the month. ^^

With that said, I"m still going to have standard commissions open as well because I have no...

April brings Spring and Spring means... screaming! Posted 2 years ago
Gooood aftermewn folks~
Currently things are going alright. I've had a few major and minor stressers cracking into me here and there, but I'm doing what I can to keep myself going despite it all. Nothing to serious worth mentioning honestly. Its just the little things, and as we all know, its the little things that get you when you're falling apart.

However! This month is going to have a few things special for it. First off, I'm aiming for a special YCH event for people to be able to order slots for. This YCH is going to be a lot like how some other people have done them, where it'll have a set price and you'll be able to order as many as you want.

To explain: I'm going to be having two special YCH offers. Both are going to be a combo of YCH + Follow up...

Managing March and Insta-grat stream Posted 2 years ago
Heeey everyone. Tomorrow I'm going to be doing an insta-grat stream for you guys over on picarto.The way it goes will be a first come first serve system and I"ll be going until exhaustion or d&d's start.

As for the actual updates for the month, my new computer came in and its just as amazing as I was expecting. I've been doing work and refining my linework as well to improve everything just a bit better artwise.

FOr those who don't know, i've been streaming vidja games on twitch at twitch.tv/kinothekitty every monday & thursday, with wednesday & sunday as smaller stream days. Going to be starting Pizza Tower on monday at 11am EST. <3 Come by and watch I love having folks stop by. <3

Woo boy. Burnout, am I right? Posted 2 years ago
Hey folks!
Sorry for finishing the Iron Artist challenge and sort of just... dying on you guys. xD I may have reached the end of that challenge and experienced a catostrophic burnout collapse that lasted until... about 4 days ago. Wooops.

I got the new computer, and with it I've started streaming vidja games on Twitch again at twitch.tv/kinothekitty <3 Come stop on by when you get the chance, its usually Mondays, wednesdays, thursdays, and sundays at 10am EST.

As for actual news you want to hear, during the downtime I kinda forced myself to take, I've been pecking away at little studies to improve my art even more then before. I've been obsessing over studying Line Weight to make my art pop a bit better, and I've got a feel for the basics now. Look...

Halfway there! Posted 2 years ago
Hey everyone, we're halfway through the Iron Artist challenge, adn the end of the month is coming upon us.

Thank you to everyone who's been ordering slots for this challenge, without you guys I wouldn't be able to do this. <3 I'm making sure to take some days during the week to rest and relax so I don't overwhelm myself with this challenge, but if we get through the next two weeks with all slots filled I'm definitely going to do a special Valentine's day request stream for you all. <3

I definitely want to do more specials like this in the future, and the future might entail me doing some kind of specials involving my own characters as well, allowing for engagement (and me to use these poor dorks who need attention. xD)

For everyone who had a...

The end is neigh... of the year at least <3 Posted 2 years ago
Hey everyone!

Been a bit since I gave an update. I've been tired, stressed, and trying desperately to get things done and ready for the new year. I've beautifully failed to meet my expectations, which is par for the course because I hold myself to impossible standards but what can you do? (stop holding myself to impossible standards) Hush.

As we ride out the year, I'm going to be going to visit family from the 22nd to the 29th and returning home on the 30th. This means I can't do any work or art while over there because family isn't very aware of how I've been making a living since the beginning of this year. They just think I do character design and comics... Which isn't wrong, but... xD

So yeah, a relatively forced vacation is coming up. When that...

November's End, December's beginning, and exhaustion Posted 2 years ago
Hey folks, as you've probably noticed, I've been cracking through the 30 Thankful Days of Monster Girl's challenge. We've only got a few more girls left to show off and with all of it I've figured out a real nice way to do shading that I want to work on refining and polishing over time.

November's been a hectic month. We renivated the living room, got my room fully finished, and its felt like things have been going non-stop since october. Thankfully, I'm sitting down and getting my backlog cleaned up so that folks who have been waiting much too long (in my opinion) can finally get the commissions they've ordered. <3 Its been busy and rough and I can't tell you how exhausted I feel both mentally and physically.

With that said, once I finish this backlog, I'm...

Happy Halloween! Our big project begins tomorrow! Posted 2 years ago
Happy Halloween everyone~ I hope you have a wonderfully spooky time~ I've been spending the last week doing prepwork for next month's 30 Thankful Days of Monster Girls. I'm really excited for a lot of these and this whole thing is going to be helping me figure out how to be better at shading pictures. <3

For those who don't know what this is: Every November I do a 30 day challenge of posting a monster girl each day. These girls are all adoptables that you all can claim for yourself. This year, they're going to be 35$ each, and it'll be a first come first serve basis. The rules will be posted on each picture, and its very important to follow them. Not doing following the rules could mean missing out on getting an adopt you want.

Here are the rules!
