Shameless discord plug in (commission status) Posted 9 months ago
Hello all.

Just wanted to remind you that while I do try to be active here, I am much more active on discord and will usually share WIPs on the server I co-own with Vlad/Dark Artist. If you're interested and haven't done so already, feel free to pop in: https://discord.gg/T7bxS7f

Also I wanted to give a friendly reminder that I am still open for commissions. However, right now I am working on a couple personal pieces and have a backlog to get to. After that, I intend to update my prices. Just a heads up there will be some delay if you are interested.

That is all for now. Much love to you all.

Hey guys.

Just wanted to thank everyone for their words of encouragement. I am blessed to have support from so many people.

There has been a lot going on in my life. My rl work has been demanding, and frankly knowing I come home to an empty apartment after 12 hours of work and commuting has been a drain on me. Art has always been my escape from life, but when depression takes that away, you're left falling into a spiral of hopelessness. That's neither here nor there.

What I want to say is I'm happy to know there are people there to say they want to see me succeed. I'm glad to know that and eternally grateful. I still have my self doubts and anxieties that make coming out of my shell hard. The warm reception has been a highlight though. As I slowly...

Losing faith (vent post) Posted 1 year ago
Yeah I know. Another artist venting about their insecurities. Alert the fucking press.

I tend to be very private about my life and issues. Call it a defense mechanism. I stone wall and keep quiet when I'm not feeling great about myself or my work. This may be coming out of left field for anyone reading this, but just know it's been this way for a while and I'm trying to be at least a little more vocal with myself and my feelings.

As of recent I've been losing faith in my art and capabilities as an artist. I blame myself since I am a cuck that can't stand up for myself and set boundaries. I give and ask for nothing in return despite wanting something in return. It's led me to a lot of 1-sided relationships.

For a while I've been battling a heavy...

New Year Feedback (what should I draw more of?) Posted 1 year ago
Hello All,

With the new year coming, I wanted to ask what you all think I should be drawing more of or which of my pics you would like me to make more like. I want to start next year with having a direction of what I can draw when I get the time for it.

Anyway, Happy New Year to you all!
Comm batch done (Current commissions closed) Posted 1 year ago
Hello all,

Last batch of commissions has been completed. I have a few reserved slots but have enough space for 3 more slots if wanted. Please let me know through pm, comments, discord or whatever if you are interested. If you miss a slot, I'll put you on reserve in a waiting list.

Thanks and have a good one!
Reopening Commissions Posted 1 year ago
Hello all

It has been a while since I have posted anything. Long story short I've started my new job, moved to a new place, had some family stuff going on and just in general focusing on other things while finding distractions in my life.

I have good news though. I am opening up commissions again. I will be limiting the slots to about 5 for the moment, so if you are interested in one, go on ahead and reserve a slot. I have also updated my prices for you all.

Anyway, I just wanted to post this and get some info out there. I'll hopefully be seeing more of you all later as I get more settled into my schedule. Later
Just thinking (Vent) Posted 1 year ago
Not really sure how I feel. Between job searching post graduation, projects I know I have to finish but have trouble finding time and motivation to work on, feeling cast aside from friends and just general depression, I am having trouble feeling the same drive I used to. Just in general I feel isolated is the best way to describe it.

Again, I'm just thinking out loud. I tell people to express themselves when they seek my advice and I would be a hypocrite if I didn't do the same. For me social anxieties have been a very real thing to overcome. I fear posting what I personally like leads to judgment, stagnation and discouragement with little-to-no feedback, but fear disillusion and burnout by posting only what others like and not putting my heart into my works.

I...

Image Dump Posted 2 years ago
Yeah I've been out of it for a while. Lots of things contribute to that, but hopefully I've made up for it by posting some of the stuff I've kept in backlog. X3
Need some feedback Posted 2 years ago
As of recent my thoughts to art have been scatter brained. Sometimes I get tunnel vision and only want to do one thing, other times I can only spare pose work on a bunch of different pieces. Some of it is because I simply don't know what I want to draw, so I either default to what I like (which most people would probably find off putting) or what I think a general audience will click on and favorite (which tends to sap my creativity). I like knowing what my viewers like and would like to see more of. It helps me feel motivated knowing I can make someone look at a piece and take interest in it. I would like some of that feed back from you all whether you are familiar with my work or not. This isn't a request intake. Just a pooling of people who come across my art work to see what I can try...

Cancelation of commissions Posted 3 years ago
Hello all and a happy new year.
I am afraid I come with sad news to the people who watch me and were hoping to get artwork from me. As of today I will have to end taking commissions.

I apologize for the inconvenience, but due to recent changes in 1099-K for 3rd party sites that was just brought to my attention, I must cease commissions. The IRS has changed reporting for 3rd party sites from $20,000 to $600. I cannot afford the taxes that will come from this, so I must sadly stop commissions until further notice.

Don't worry, I will still do art work and submit it as it comes. I may very well try pro bono work here and there and even a raffle, but as far as I am concerned, this is something that I can no longer do and feel comfortable with.

I...
